TWICE MARRIED
WOMAN ARRAIGNED
Mrs. Stewart-Murphy Offers to
Plead Guilty of Bigamy and
Ask for Mercy
JUDGE FIXES BAIL AT $1,000
Wife Has No Attorney; She Had
Not Seen Stewart for Two
Years; Murphy FOrgiveS

After hearing testimony proving her
bigamist and which may result in
her being sentenced to serve a term
in the penitentiary, Mrs. Clara Stew
Murphy thanked Police Judge
Williams yesterday and wanted to
plead guilty to the charge. After be-
ing told that she could not enter a plea
in the lower court, Judge Williams
held her to answer to the superior
court and fixed her bail at $4,000, and
she was committed to the county jail
in default thereof.
Pale from her detention in Jail since
her arrest several weeks ago in San
Francisco, Mrs. Murphy presented a
pitiable sight as she stood before the
bar in the police court in answer to a
complaint which was sworn against
her by her husband, Frank Murphy,
an employe of the LeWellyn Iron
works.
Her stepfather, F.. H. Cook of San
Francisco, and Murphy, who filed the
charge against her, sat in one part
of the court room, while Mrs. Murphy
sat alone in the prisoners dock. She
had no attorney to represent her, but
conducted her own examination.
Cook told Of being a witness at the
womans marriage to Jack Stewart in
San Francisco in 1906, and Murphy
testified that he married her in Los
Angeles last July. Mrs. Murphy had
not obtained a divorce from Stewart
before marrying Murphy.
When asked by the court If she
wanted to take the stand nher own
defense she nodded her head in assent,
and after casting furtive glance at
her stepfather and her husband, said
in low tones:
"I want to plead guilty"
She was told by the court that the
proceeding was an examination and
that she could not plead guilty to the
charge.
"Then send me where I can plead
guilty. I know 1 am guilty, but they
tell me the court has mercy. L didn't
get a divorce from Stewart because
didn't know l had to when l didn't
know where he was and hadn't heard
from him for more than two years, -
she continued.
Following the hearing Murphy stated
that he was willing to forgive her and
would do all in his power to secure
bail for her to obtain her temporary
release. He also stated that he would
consent to legally marry her and take
her back to live with him.

THE SPLENDID RECORD OF
THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

The Democratic party in Mis-
souri, is the party of progress.
Under the wise guidance of
Democratic statesmen. the I'm.
perial Commonwealth has ad.
vanced from a lowly rank
among the slsterhood Of states
TO a commanding place near the
head Of the column, passing a
score of older states in her
steady march upward. Indeed,
the history OF the Democratic
party for the past 40 years in
this state is the history of Mis-.
souri,. Since conf: into power
In the early sevc IS. no minis
ter OF the gospel has languished
In prison because OF his sympa-
thy for a beaten and baffied peo-
pie, and no Count Rodman has
thwarted the will OF freemen by
cremating their ballots. Inner
iting a debt OF many millions
from the Republican party and
a tax levy of so cents, the party
Of Jefferson and Jackson by ad-
minlstering the affairs of state
honestly and economically IL
quidated the obligation and at
the same time steadily reduced
the rate of taxation until now IL
is but II cents, the lowest OF
any state in the Union. And
while the Democratic party was
discharging this great debt fas-
tened upon the people by Re-
publican incompetency, on one
hand, and lowering the tax levy
on the other, IL founded a score
or more institutions and erected
two score or more of magnifi-
cent state buildings. Industrial
schools at Boonville and Chilli
Gothic, normal schools at Kinks

deau. Springfield and Maryville,
School for the Blind at st.

Marshall, homes for old soldiers
at st. James and Higginsville,
and a rebuilt penitentiary and
capitol and new supreme CT rt
building, binder Irvine fac. Dry,
tuberculosis sanitarium, fruit

some of the records of the party
Of progress and achievement in
Missouri. And while Democratic
Missouri was paying off the Re-
publican debt, lowering the tax
levy and building splendid state
schools and asylums. it also
found time to become the patron
of world fairs for the education
and edification of the people
then on earth, and to provide a
permanent school fund for the
education of future generations
"a school fund exceeded by on
ly one state in the Union. In
short, the record of the Dem.
ocratic party includes the things
worth while achieved in this
imperial commonwealth; we
point to it with pride; we chal-
lenge comparison; we invite the
fullest investigation.

Who Says It?

Who says prohibition is fail
ureR The brewer and distiller?
Yes, they say it. Who else says il?
The saloon-keeper and bartender?
Yes, they say it, and say it doI-
en- times a day. The sot in the
gutter? Yes, he says it, and he GER
tainly looks like it was a failure.
The man who violates the liquor
laws? Certainly he says it, and
does all in his power to make it so.
The whiskey doctor and the wills.
key druggist? Yes, and both of
them are the chief abetters in
their community of that very state
of affairs.
Who says prohibition is a fail
ure? The gambler? Yes, he says it,
and he associates with the very set
that would make it failure. The
whole set Of boot-leggers, joint
keepers and blind tiger men, they
say it. OF course they do, and do
their best to make it so.
What does the United States
Government say? Fifty miles Of
saloons closed in 1908. and the
liquor bill less the year before by
$217, 000.000.00. That's going
some. and in 1909, forty-one sa-
looms closed a day, sixty miles of
them in the year. over two million
less barrels of whiskey drank, and
the estimated drink bill lowered
by $412,000,O0O.OO.
What do the liquor men say
among themselves? Julius Lieh-
man. the head of the United Brew
cry of the United States in an adj
dress to the brewers in June. 1909.
says that the prohibition wave had
curtailed the output Of beer in the
United States over five million
barrels in eighteen months time.
In a private letter to saloon
keeper friend, one of the largest
wholesale wineries in the country.
lamented that. "Here in Virginia
we are fighting for our very ex-
istence, if this thing continues
much longer we shall all be broke.
even if we win" Which may not
he an over grammatical sentence
but one plain to understand. The
writer continues, Gin the last year
we have lost over $300,000.00 of
established trade, legislated out OF
existence.
Do YOU ever say that prohibi-
ton is a failure? Think a minut"
Do you want to train with the
crowd that is always saying this I?
Use your common sense. If as
much whiskey is sold under prohi-
bitiOn as under license, in the
name of common sense, why d.
not all the saloon-keepers work
for prohibition. save their license
money, and sell as much as ever?
When they move heaven and earth
to defeat prohibition, and pour
out money like water to do this.
they acknowledge by their actions
that prohibition prohibits too well
to suit them.
