M'KENNA STICKS
TO STORY TOLD
TO OMAHA Bee
In Prison Confessed Auto
Thief Reiterates Statement,
Accusing Detective of AC-
cepting Bribe.

When Police Captain Andrew Pa
tulle arrived in Lincoln yesterday to
question William McKenna and Low
el. c. Jones, confessed automobile
thieves in the penitentiary, in re-
gard to their statement published in
The Bee, accusing Detective Jim
Murphy of accepting a bribe, he
found Francis Morgan, McKenna' S
attorney at the prison.
McKenna weeks ago told Attor-
ney Morgan the same story The Bee
published. He also told it to his
mother, who talked of the incident
with Chief of Police Eberstein. The
police chief prevailed on the woman
to report the matter to Judge Red
ick, she asserted.
Police Commissioner Ringer still
maintains his silence. Il have moth

only comment he has made on the
accusations brought against Detec-
tive Murphy.
No Police Statement.
Chief Eberstein is out of the city,
and no one connected with the po-
lice department would make a state
ment as to the purpose of Captain
Patulle's visit to the penitentiary.
The fact that McKenna and his
mother both have discussed the al
legged bribery of Detective Murphy
with Chief Eberstein is taken to in
dicate that Captain Patule's visit to
Lincoln is not for the purpose of
verifying McKenna's charges.
McKenna told Attorney Morgan
everything connected with the brib-
cry charge, Mr.. Morgan asserted
before he left for Lincoln. "He has
also told me great deal more" the
attorney added. Il am not ready
