PARENTS PRAY
FOR CAPTURE OF
WIFE MURDERER
Murphy Still Successful
In Eluding Statewide
Iearch For Him.

FRESNO. Cal. Dec. l6.--Stili
grief stricken by the death of their
daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Buttlcs Muir
ply, in Long Beach last Saturday,
Mr.. and Mrs. a. II. Buttlcs prayed
today for the success of the search
for their son-inlaw. l.. d. Murphy,
who has been charged with the muir
der of his bride of three weeks.
Mrs. Murphy's death was caused
Ey injuries, which, she charged in Il
dying statement, were inflicted by
her husband. A warrant for Muir
phys arrest has been issued in Long
Beach.
I'VE hope each day that Murphy
will be taken into custody and
brought to iusticc.' Buttles dcclar
ed today. But so far we have not
even learned anything which might
lead to his apprehension. y
That Murphy remained in Long
Beach several days after he is al
legged to have administered a beat
ing to his bride and did not leave
that city until the dav. before her
death, has been learned by the par
cnts Of the. girl.
"Sevcral hours after he beat our
daughter he returned to her room
and asked forgiveness, Buttles
said. "Thcn Cornelia was removed
, TO the home of her friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. John b. Wclch, where she died.
| and she did not see her husband any
more. But we have learned he re-
| manned in Long Beach until Friday. ,
The pasrents knew of another
woman'' who had gone with Muir
ply and whose name is Mildred Mcr-
rilI, they said today.
| He told us Mildred Merrill was
desperately in love with him and was
! bound to have him but never indi-
Gated he might have been married
to her, as San Francisco officials
! now indicate, they said.
According to reports here, Muir
! ply is believed to have met the
! Merrill girl after he beat his wife
and that she accompanied him in
his escape.
cit is all so terrible we do not
like to talk about it, Buttlcs said.
"Thcv appeared so happy during
i their courtship and we thought we
were giving our daughter in mar
riage to splendid man. And we
have learned that they were happy
on their honeymoon until he sudden
ly turned upon her and beat her.
"The only reason we can give for
HE tragedy is that Murphy had
been drinking. We did not know
he was a drinking man, but it is
evident he was intoxicated when he
beat Cornclia.
Although Fresno police are CON
Quoting thorough search for Muir
ply, Jack Board, captain of detec-
tivcs, admitted this morning that it
is improbable that Murphy is hiding
out in this vicinity.

him here as we have nothing to in
dicate definitely that he is not

REVOLVING CASE
IS EXPOSED BY
GIRLS LETTER
Man Already In Jail Is
Accused of Statutory
OffenSe.

Gordon Swartout, who pleaded
guilty in superior court last week to
passing a bad check and applied for
probation, will have bearing o.l
! his petition tomorrow, but it IS not
, likely that it will be granted as a
new complaint charging Swartout
was rape, was issued this morning
by District Attorney Utlcy.
The complaint follows the uncov-
cring of an unsavory mess in FL
Centre. through the receipt by Jail
: officials, of letter written to
Swartout by - year old FL Centre
school girl, whose name is withheld
for obvious reasons.
Swartout, who is "a years old, is
married, and the father of two chill
drcn. In the letter which was writ
ten to him. the young girl exposed
. illicit relations with him. Police
and school officials who have read
the letter, are astounded at the
frankncss and bluntness of its con
tents.
! Its author undoubtedly was not
aware that all mail received ut the
Jail and intended for prisoners, is
opened and read before it is given
to them.
The letter was received early this
week and was immediately turned
over to Sheriff Gillctt, who took it
to District Attorney Utlcy. A. w
Swanson, county Juvenile officer
was called into the case, and the girl
who wrote the letter was summon
ed to his office. She confirmed
| the contents of the letter and re-
| stated her accusations against
! Swartout.
This morning the latter was in
! formed of the charges made by the
girl, and he too admitted their truth
Swanson said. AS soon rs the court
| dispoScs of the ease of forgery
against him, the new charge will be
| prosecuted. the district attorney
stated.
Makes Other Charges
! In addition to exposing her own
relations with Swartout in her letter
the girl made accusations against a
number of her girl companions
These charges are being investigated
} by the district attorneys office
with the cooperation of Swanson and
school officials.
: "It is one of the most astound-
ING and revolving eases that has yet
J come to my attention. Swanson
declared in discussing the matter
." Following closely on the recent ar
rest of number of boys and girls
/ in the northern part of the county
for delinquency, il exposes a condi,
tion among school students that
should give their parents cause fol
serious thought.
"Peace officers and the school au
thorities cannot keep in touch with
the doings of these youngsters out
side of school hours, but the parents
can. Frankly | would say that too
much liberty and license is given
to the boys and girls. They are
permitted to go here and there, to
/ dances, and parties, at all hours
without proper supervision. +"
! The probation officers opinion
was echoed bv the district attorney
and school officials, who declare
that the charges made IN the letter
to Swartout will be probed to the
bottom. and If they are found to be
true. the severest measures will be
taken to correct them.
