INTEREST IN EYTINGt
 OF CHARLES MURRAY
The Well Known Actor Visited the Well Known Prisoner in His Cell.

The inimitable Murray and Mack and their company of artists returned 10 Phoenix yesterday for a. second time this season. The Murray and Mack organization has been on the road so long that it's visits to this city have ceased to be a happening and have become a habit. And il has long been a habit of the mirth loving pub lie to always see these stars of the comedy heavens.
 Charlie Murray was very much in
 terested in the sensation of the hour the Eytinge trial, not only because of it's strange and unprecedented features but as well because for years he has known Rose Eytinge, an aunt of the prisoner In speaking of Rose Eytinge MT. Murray said that she is at pres ent located in New York city and is in good circumstances financially. She is engaged most of the tune in writing memories for the magazines She is highly educated, very talented and well respected iH Dayton, Ohio, where she formerly resided. Rose Eytinge is one of the leaders of the professional league in New York and has written some very interesting articles on the atrical work in general. As far back as he can remember MT. Murray says that Rose Eytinge was with such ac- tors as Booth, Barrett. Sothern, Keene and other famous stellar lights of the old Shakespearian school. Her last ap- pearance before the footlights was in the all-star cast of The Rivals" in which were Joseph Jefferson, Nat Goodwin, Louis James. J. H. Stoddard, Grace George, Mary Mannering, Will ion Lackaye and several others of equal prominence
 MT. Murray could see no reason why a man of Eytinge's talent should re- sort to anything of a criminal nature 10 secure money, because from all he could learn, Eytinge had ability in character sketches and could have fol- lowed this with great success. If it is true. as is said. that Eytinge was once in vaudeville he could have received aid from the Actors Fund which has representation all over the country Mir Murray is a life member of this society which May Il to Is in a benefit at the Metropolitan for the fund clear d s75,0O0.
 His aunt is able to give him aid but II IS unueTSIOOC ana so SldlcQ III an issue of the New York Times that Fly tinge was offered $50 per month, if he would never make known his cOnnec- lion with the rest of the Eytinge fam fly. Were it not for his great respect for Rose Eytinge and his desire to bring no humiliation upon her, MT. Murray would send an account of Fly tinge's career to a leading theatrical magazine. NIT. Murray visited Fly tinge in his cell yesterday and had an interesting talk with him.
 Speaking of the famous company of which he is one of the stars MT. Mur- ray said that Ollie Mack joiped the company two days after playing here in January. They intended to close the season at St. Joseph, Mo, but that 1 a manager of a number of shows on the western circuit had booked several i places that could not be filled as some ! of the companies disbanded before the | season closed. The Murray and Mack ! company was asked 10 turn westward i again. This accounts for the second ! stand in Phoenix.
