TRAGEDY DEPR|VES
CHILD Of HOME.
Son of Man Who Shot
Wife and Himself at
Preside Needs Refuge
Invalid Mother Wound
ed and Confined toBed
Thinks Only of Boy

What is to become OF the little six
year-old son of E. V. Murphy. the man
who bruta1ly attacked his invalid
wife. and after shooting her twice
blew his own brains out Saturday
evening in a tent at the Presidio?
The question is being asked by many
knd-hearted refugees living in the
camp The child is living in the camp
with his aunt, Mrs M Fogarty, who
openly declares that she is unable to
care for him longer, and wishes the
mother, who has been an invalid for
four years, to make immediate arrange
ments to have the little boy cared for.
In the meantime the anxious mother
lies helpless in the General Hospital,
not on account of the bullets which
passed through each wrist and cut
wounds in her scalp. but because of a
paralytic stroke that made amputation
of one of her limbs necessary and left
the other in such a condition that it
can never be used again.
The helpless woman realizes her con-
dition, and is praying fervently that
has been thrust upon the world in such
way In speaking of the little one
yesterday Mrs. Murphy said: after my
husband had shot me twice / begged
him to spare his own life that he might
care for me boy, but now, unless some
of my friends will help US, 1 do not
know wnat will become Of either of
u.s."
The story of the tragedy was told in
the camp many times yesterday and
many curious people gathered about
the tent to discuss the affairs which led
to the shooting.
Murphy, who was a painter and pa
per-hanger working for William Wolff,
I'LL Cough street, returned home Sat
urday evening, after having several
drinks with some of his friends. En-
tering the tent, he informed his wife.
who was lying helpless on the bed
that he had rented house and intended
to have another family move into 1T
with them on the following Monday.
The wife objected to another family
in the house, and Murphy became en-
ragged and, securing his revolver from
his trunk. walked to the bed, saying
'You have found fault with everything
1 have done for the last four years.
and 1 am getting tired of it, The
helpless woman. after calling to her
child to run for help. threw both hands
over her face and the bullets, which
were intended for her head, passed
through both wrists and struck her
forehead. Murphy then turned the
weapon upon himself.
Mrs. Murphy has four children by a
former husband. all of whom live in
this city. She also has another child
by Murphy, which was adopted shortly
after it's birth by a family now living
in New York
After the. earthquake Mrs. Murphy
was obliged to fee from the fire and
was taken to the Post Hospital at the
Presidio, where she was cared for until
the camp was established and her hus-
band was able to secure tent for her.
