By United Press Leased Wiz

LOS ANGELES, Dee. Estate
wide search was on today for Lee
Daniel Murphy. wanted for the al
legged murder of his bride, Cornelia,
Fresno music teacher. Authorities
here, in the meantime, began q Wig
orous investigation of the girl S
death, to determine, if possible, if
she were beaten to death by her hus-
band as claimed in dying state
ment.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Wclcil, of Long
was staying, confirmed details of
the terrible beating which Mrs. Muir
ply said her husband administered
ON the night of Nov. so.
Wclch told authorities that Muir
ply lashcd his bride with trousers
belt for more than two hours, beat
ing her about the face and body.
The girl s jaw was broken with n
bottle, Welch said She died Satur-
day. | days after the beating.
Search for Murphy has EXTENDED
to San Francisco where he is alleged
to have been with another woman
ON December 4. Authorities an
nounced in the north that they were
looking for Mrs. Mildred Morris,
a guest of the Rhodenda hotel. who
is believed to have wired Murphy to
meet her in San Francisco. Mrs.
Morris may know the whereabouts
of Murphy, it was said.
The authorities are also working
on a theory that Murphy was mar
ricd before he met the Fresno girl
and that he has wife in northern
California.
An autopsy and inquest was held
over Mrs. Murphy's body.
