Discard Follows Death.
The cause which led to this suit,
according to the petitioners, began
soon after the death of their father,
in ,e1O. Following the fathers death
a brother, Anthony Murphy, Jr, was
seriously i'll, and subsequently died.
They state their anxiety over the
condition of their brother outweighed
any consideration for dollars and
cents but at that time their brother,
Charles c. Murphy, came to them and
wanted them to go with him to find
their fathers papers.
They assert that when their faith
ers vault was opened in the Third
National Bank they paid little atten-
ton to It's contents, but that their
brother stated it contained an old
will and some other papers. The
search was then carried to room
reserved by the father in the Aragon
Hotel and their statement of the case
Is that Charles Murphy found what
he said was the real will in an old
leather suit case.

According to their petition, it pro-
vided for j. K Murphy to receive

They were importuned, they charge.

been found. compromised for 100000
cash.
A reason given for the discrimina-
ton against them was that their
brother, Charles c. Murphy, urged
their father to charge against them
sdvancements in money made.
The petition sets forth that within
he last 80 days they have made the
following discovery:
