IN OUR STATE
DUFFY HELD FOR THE MURDER
OF MYRTLE LEMONS
BABY AT SAGINAW.
is HELD WITHOUT BAIL
The Police Thought to Have Evidence
That Has Not Yet Been Given the
Public.

Following the institution OF habeas
corpus proceedings for the release OF
Joseph Duffy, the man was brought In
to the Saginaw police court Thursday
afternoon and formally charged with
having drowned Myrtle Lemons baby
boy. The warrant was sworn out by
Police Lieut.. Tim Mccoy. This was a
surprise, as it was supposed that he
would be charged only as an acces-
sorry at the most The action Of the
police gives rise to belief that they
have information against Duffy which
they are keeping TO themselves.
Duffy was arraigned before Justice
Blaisdell but in the absence Of his
lawyer refused to plead and his hear
ing was set for Thursday morning,
August q. He is held without bail.
Duffy had been held five days with
out charge having been registered
against him. Thursday his friends Sc
cured the services of a law firm and
instituted habeas corpus proceedings
in the circuit court. The petition was
to have been heard Friday morning
and this compelled the police TO act
quickly
The police refuse TO discuss the ma
ture of the evidence against Duffy.
However, it is known that they be-
lieve they can break down the alibi
which he has attempted to build up.
Two men whom he claims to have
seen on the night that Myrtle Lemons
baby was drowned, declare that Duffy
could not have seen them at the time
and places he says he did. The idea
seems to have been to prove an alibi
by these men. The suggestion is made
that If Miss Lennon had no desire for
making away with the babe, as she
says, Duffy may have had. 1t is argued
that the girl would not have drowned
the child as the hospital authorities
offered TO secure its adoption. thus af-
fording her an easy and legitimate
method Of concealing her shame. On
the other hand. il is said that Duffy
might have feared TO have the child
thus disposed of on account of the
hold that ii would give the girl upon
him as long as ii lived.
