TAXES SIS FROM
 DEAD MANS MOUTH

New York, July 21.IMichael Mur- l phy, a driver of 1882 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, was locked up in Police Headquarters last night by Detectives Fitzpatrick and MacConeghy on sus- p1c1on of knowing something about the death of Andrew Erickson of Il Chatham Square, whose body was Murphy might never have been ar rested had he not visited the under | taking establishment of Samuel J.
 Murphy, at 255 Pearl Street, where fEEzckson's body was taken.
 .,',Murphy called there and told Under taker Murphy that he was an old friend of Erickson, and therefore would appreciate it if he might be left alone for a few moments with the body The
 undertaken entered the room in a few
 minutes, however. and found Murphy working at the mouth of the dead
 man. The undertaken investigated and found that there were three s5 bills in Erfckson's mouth. Murphy's evil
 dent attempt to get the bills aroused
 the undertaker's suspicious, and he
 notified the police, who caught Mur- phy last night in a saloon in Park
 Row
 According to the police, Murphy con- fessesd that he and Erickson went out
 in a row boat in Jamaica Bay on Sun
 day with sailor who was intoxicat-
 ed. The sailor had s15 and, accord
 ing to Murphy, Erickson took this. and
 they were rowing to the shore when
 Erickson lost an oar and jumped ov- erboard after it. In trying, however,
 to recover the oar, Erickson, accord
 ing to Murphy, was drowned After trying to- recover his companion's
 body Murphy rowed ashore with the
 sailor and, taking leave of him, re-
 he heard of the recovery of Erickson's body.
