ing the officials in Paragould he was
supplied with a detailed description
of the man and particulars surround
ing the death.
Mr.. Gunter, the father, said his
son frequently wandered from place
to place, despite his pleadings for
him to remain at home with his
father and mother, or to keep in
touch with them. He was careless
about writing. The last time tho
parents heard from him he was in
Memphis, near the first OF October,
when he wrote them that he was
coming to Paragould. They never
heard from him again. The fact
that a stranger of approximately 35
years of age had been killed by
train near ParagOuld, as published
in the Memphis newspaper, caused
the parents to suspicion that it
concerned their boy.
The father said his son was a
graduate of pharmaceutical col
lege in Georgia and was recognized
as very competent druggist. Aft \
er completing his course OF stu1y
several years ago he returned to-
his home in Eupola and there was
in the employ of DR.. T. O. Douglas,
a druggist. Apparently, he was get
ting along nicely in the pursuit of
his profession till wanderlust seized
the control of his mind. He packed
up and left home, going to Memphis.
The fact that he had, upon pre-
vious occasions, suddenly left for
other parts caused no especial con-
Germ with his parents, though they
endeavored to persuade him to be-
come settled. They thought he would
again soon return to his home.
1t appears the stranger, instead
of coming to Paragould, went to
Marmaduke. He is remembered by
citizens Of that place as having
been there a short time before he
met his death. 1t is said he de-
voted himself to trading horses. BY
some it is believed he was perhaps
waylaid at the scene where he was
struck by the train. Probably he
had been struck by club in the
hands Of someone ana rendered in
La dazed condition and had uncon-

MAIL CLERK TELLS
OF ROBBERY PLOT

Chicago. Nov. 5.LookingN un-
flinchingly into the maleyolent eyes
LOT big Tim Murphy, Ralph Teter,
state witness for the government,
Wednesday identified the labor boss
as the man who planned and direct
ed the Dearborn street mail robbery,
lin which 100000 was stolen.
Teter and other witnesses said that
Murphy attended to every detail Of
the robbery, except that he kept
out of the danger zone while the
robbery was being committed. Teter
says he received s27,50O in Liberty
bonds as his share Of the loot.
Teter had a long and honorable
record as railway mail clerk. He
was i'll in Indianapolis, when Muir
ply sought him out because of his
knowledge Of big shipments of
money by mail. The labor czar,
|Teter said, argued with him that
the government had used up the
best years of his life and cast him
aside-that there was not the slight
est danger of discovery; that Murphy
had gang ready for the work and
that he had every member OF. that
gang under his thumb and that if
any one interfered or "squawked'
he would be killed.
Teter finally fell for the persua-
|sive argument, which was helped
|along with liberal donations Of whis-
key. Several conferences were held
in indianapolis and Chicago and
Teter finally learned about the big
shipment of money and bonds and
told Murphy The plan worked to
the letter Murphy stood across the
street from the railway station.
When the bags containing the money
and bonds were delivered, Teter
raised his hat, this was Murphy's
signal and he then raised his hat as
the signals for the robbers to seize
the plumber.
Teter says Murphy boosted that
nothing could be done to him or
any one aligned with him. He al
luded to the charge against him of
robbing the Pullman. station Of
100000 worth Of mail and said he
would beat the government at that
case with it's own money
During the cross examination the
defense intimated that it would en-
deavor to prove that Teter was ~
ing to save himself.
First indications in court as to
Murphy's defense were given We'd
nesday by James Barbour, his at
torney, who offered to save time by
admitting the robbery had been COM
mitted.
"Our defense will hinge on
whether a man is guilty OF con-
spiracy to rob when he unknowing-
" keeps stolen money for friend
and when he finds it was stolen,
turns it over to the government"
Several Thousand dollars worth
of the stolen securities were found
at the home of Murphy's father-in-
law, William Diggs.
