SENATOR MURTHA.

Senator Murtha was not permitted
10 make a reply in the state Senate
yesterday to the attack recently made
upon him by Governor Osborn. He was
refused an opportunity to do so be-
cause what the governor said did not
concern Murtha's career in the senate.
Defeated in his purpose 70 address the
Senate. Murtha gave out his statement
20 the press, which was the proper
course for him to take for It was
through the press that the governor
made certain things public about Muir
tina. These things had to do with
Murtha's career as a lawyer while a
resident Of Brooklyn. where he was
disbarred Tor three years for maI-prac-

claim for a widow. The governor made
this public because Murtha was one of

when a man criticized he wanted the
people TO know who the man was and

through tho press that the attack on
Murtha was made. the press, and not
the Senate, constitutes the proper me-
dunn for Murtha's reply. The Senate
did exactly right in not permitting him
to talk there. II is understood that
Murtha admits he was disbarred for
three years from practicing law in
New York state. but denies other
charges.
