condition. One hour later he sprang at

razor-edged knife. He cut DR.. Hayes

The terrified workmen rushed for the

and at every landing he cut somebody.

men, an italian, seized a heavy bar of
iron and felled Murphy, but he was
quickly on his feet again and wounded
another man. On the street floor he
was given another heavy blow on the
head and his knife was wrenched from
his hand. Two policemen came to as
sist the workmen and Murphy was
given a severe beating before he was
overpowered.
Murphy is so years of age, weighs 200
pounds and was regarded as one of
the strongest men in the plant. He
had been employed for some years by
the North company.
Hundreds Flee in Terror
Witnesses said tonight that more
than 800 employees were driven from
the plant when Murphy started on his
wild rush through the six floors and
basement and not a few men escaped
death by narrow margin.
