1t was not only peaceful, but tame,
the meeting of the board of supervis
ors last night, until Murray sprung
an attack on an outsider against
whom he holds an explainable grudge
grudge.
Low and Mcclellan were absent
and Murray assumed the leadership
of the board, making all the motions
during the routine business. When
this was completed Mayor Fern asked
the usual question, if any member
had any business to offer.
Murray got up and said in sub
stance:
81 think the deputy sheriff should
be instructed to use more energy in
getting iurymen for coroner's in
quests He gets about the same
bunch on every inquest he holds.
Fred Turrill is on every jury. For
the last six months Turrill has been
on sixteen coroner's juries He is a
Territorial officer, getting a good sal
airy, and I don't think it is right that
he should be put on coroner's juries.
q move that the clerk be directed
to write to the deputy sheriff and ask
him to use more energy in getting
iuries to serve on coroner's inquests"
The motion was carried without
any audible dissent.
Turrill was on the jury that re-
turned a verdict that a Porto Rican
found dead New Years morning on
River street came to his death from
blow dealt by Harry Murray.
Murray had another personal
crouch satisfied last night by the pas.
sage of his resolution amending the
rules to compel the road committee
to render monthly reports.
The committee had been turning in
periodical reports on road work with
out compulsion, but when Murray lost
the control of the board a few weeks
ago-a control that he had used TO
humiliate the road committee--he
sought revenge in this insulting
amendment of the rules, which went
through easily last night in the alb
sence of two members of the new
majority
