MURPHY NOT IN DEGN0N
CONTRACTING COMPANY.
Has Not Now and Never Has Had
Any Interest in That
Concern.

To the Editor of The E,ening Woril;
In this evenings issue ,Novcmbersd)
there appears what purports to De a
speech made by Mr.. William a. Cotter
last evening II begins thus:
William A.. Cottcr. who followed Mr.
Low. said among other things that
Murphy practically controlled the Deg
non Company
We are utterly AZ a loss to under
stand how such a bdseless and gratui-
tous libel could have been uttered by
NJ. Cotter. because at no time has MI.
Murphy or any OF his friends ever had
any interest. directly or indirectly. In
the Degnon Contracting Company. The
further statement Is equally false ana
untrue that the Degnon Contracting
Company ever received one dollar
w~rongfully or improperly in connection
with any work performed BY 1t for the
city. We would. therefore. thank you
to correct this statement, and thus. as
far as may be. repair the damage
which has been done by the circulation
OF such a libel reg riding a reputable
corporation.
Very truly.
