Sheriff Murphy,s Explanation.

In an interview last evening, Sheriff
Murphy said that he hail not been fairly
treated ny The prosecution in the Dryer
case and that the INDEPENDENT had
placed him in a ialse position before the
people of Lander county. He further
snid thai he was the victim OF a political
scheme. He also said that hs was asked
II the testimony he gave at Austin would
be his testimony when placed on the
stand here and he replied that it would
be. His excuse for tho change In his
evidence was that he had not been ques-
tionen here along the came lines that he
wac at Austin and that he was ratified
when he swore that Dryer was unsouud
mind while in his custody. He also
claimed that the prosecution had not
treated him fairly in not putting him on
the stand again to explain what he had
sworn to.
The INDEPENDENT has no desire to do
MIR. Murphy any injury, but il seems
strange that an officer of his experience
should get ratified on the witness stand
to such an extent that he would forget
what he lac read less than half an hour
before and swear directly opposite TO it.
II also seems strange that MIR. Murphy
wonld promise the prosecution that his
evidence here would be the same as it
was at Austin and ON the strength of
that was placed on the witness stand
and ON direct examination answer ques-
tons properly, but when cross-examined
by the defense should swear directly op-
posite to what he promised the prosecu.
ton. The defense muet have known
hat Mr.. Murphy wonld swear that
Dryer was OF unsound mind or they
would not have dared TO ask him the
question. Tho prosecution could not
put him ON the stand to explain his ev-
idence because they would have been
impeuchinR their owu witness and this
the defense would AVE objected to and
the court would nave ruled 1T ont. The
prosecution was completely tied up by
his answer.
