That the appointment of an out-of-toWh
man to the force has aroused tempest
in a teapot is putting it mildly. All Me-
tuchen was aroused this afternoon when
"a New York paper arrived in town with
headlines announcing that one MuItha
had been indicted for collecting graft IN
Harlem. Chief of Police John j. Flaherty
insisted this was the same Murtha. while
Councilman Ben" II. Neen, sponsor for
the New York policeman. said he would
not bother to answer questions about II.
Murtha was TO go on the force last Mon
day. but he has not appeared yet.
Chief l'laherty was notified by his po-
liceman last week that they would not
serve with Murtha. and it is believed
Murtha was told not TO appear.
