When Murray swung out the man was
about three feet ahead and about two
feet to the left of the car He didn't
see the man fall.
At the luau Murray said: "Intui-
ton tells me that that man is hurt;
IT can tell by my arm" He said he
was going to tell the driver to so
back to look for the man.
When Bolin came back to the luau
he spoke to Murray, who then told
witness that the man was killed. Wit
ness couldn't believe that the man
was dead, even after he'd heard it.
Witness took three or four drinks
at the Grill before going to the luau.
He didn't notice Murray drinking. He
had known Murray for about month
previous to New Years Eve. At
eleven o'clock Murray was sober, as
far as appearances went. He didn't
remember seeing Bob White, another
occupant of the car, drinking Walter
Doyle, another of the party, was
making it strong to everybody that
he was on the water wagon" The
auto ride, as he remembered it, had
none of the attributes of "joy ride"
r. w. White, chief yeoman aboard
the U. S. s. California, testified that
he met Murray at the Elks' Club
about eleven o'clock New Years Eve.
He and the party set out for the
Buckle luau at Murrays invitation
He was sober, though he had had sew
eral glasses of beer. Murray was
sober. He had only seen him take
one drink at the Elks' Club. At the
, Grill, while waiting for an auto, wit
ness didn't remember seeing Murray
take anything while there.
A few seconds after the car turned
into River street witness saw a man
ahead of the car and noticed Murray
swing out of his seat in half-rising
position. He heard no exclamation
l by Murray. He saw the man stagger
: as if dazed when the machine swerved
: to the right to avoid the man.
! At the luau he might have heard
Murray say that he thought the man
:. was hurt; he wasn't sure of this, how
ever. From the Buckle luau witness
went to Beckley's place and thence
to the police station via the Grill.

1902, particularly we'll between 1906
and 1906, when he was stationed
