CHAPMAN LAWYER
 RECEIVES NO FEE
Murphy, Who Worked on Case,
 Not Compensated, He Says

Hartford, April UPl -- With the Gerald Chapman case practically at &an end, so far as tho state of Connecticut Is concerned, it has be- come known that the bandits promise to at least one Of his staff Of lawyers, that funds would be provided for his battle against death, had not been fulfilled.
 Charles w, Murphy of Danbury was appealed to in February, 1925. by Chapman, then in Atlanta prison, 10 act for him in the pend ing murder case in this state, the prisoner stating that sufficient funds will be forthcoming to pay all expenses in connection with the dcfense." Despite this promise. the Danbury attorney says, he has moi received ono cent for his years services.
 A few days after receipt of the letter from Chapman, Murphy re- piled that he was willing to take the case, The prisoner sent back word that, not having heard from the Danbury lawyer, he had en- gagged Mir. Groehl as counsel. Mir. Murphy conferred with Mir Groehl and was engaged as associate counsel.
 After he had entered the case. Mir Murphy said. he mentioned the question of fees to Chapman, after the latter had been brought to Nethorsfcld. Chapman gave him the name of "a friend" who, he said, would take care of Mir. Mur- phy so far as funds was concerned, and that it would not he necessary 10 solicit funds. as this friend would come forward voluntarily. Mir. Mur- phy said ho waited for some com from this friend, but that none came.
 Later, Mir, Murphy said, when he again spoke to Chapman, the lat ter suggested that his lawyers could get s5,5oo by his quit-elaim- ing to them the residence he and "Dutch" Anderson had bought from a minister in South Hadley Falls, Mass. Before anything could be done about this, the minister had foreclosed the mortgage.

AttracfiUe Small Homes

It is a common sight in residential
sections of our cities to see unsightiy
rows of houses Of the type which are
built by the mile and sold by the foot.
They are identical in design. PLAN
ming and setting. If. careful atten.
ton had been given to, the fnnda-
mental principles of good plannihg'and
designing, these same dwellings could.
have been built with far more pleas
ing results, and at no greater ex'
pense. Those who build small houses,
become responsible not only for ore-A
ating the desire to build attractively
and economically. but also for pre-
serving the ideals which lead people
to build beautiful homes with lowing;
hands and eager hearts.
