1t has been stated that Consul Donaldson
was also interested in the case of Fred w.
Murphy, who is also in jail in that part of
the world charged with killing a native

fused with that of Albers because of Muir
phys business connection with him. 1t ap-

In Honduras and his conviction has moth

employe of partner of Albers in a mining
claim. Being of an impulsive disposition,
he started out one day to shoot up the town
in genuine cowboy style. For this he was
discharged from his job in Nicaragua and
started for Honduras with a native guide.
He arrived without the guide and the local
authorities. not believing the story he told
OF the guides death, started to arrest him..
Before they finally got him the Honduras
