Tim MURPHY
FALLS VICTIM
OF GANG GUNS
Chicago Racketeer Is
Shot Down at Home;
Had Visited Valley
Planned Colony

CHICAGO, June 27.-P-The
gang guns got Big Tim Murphy last
night.
"A machine gun barrel was thrust
through the window OF n sedan
cruising slowly by the Murphy bun
galow. Murphy's six feet three
standing on the lawn was an easy
target
Fire streamed from the window OF
the sedan. The bedtime quiet Of the
Rogers park neighborhood was
broken by the guns deadly rata
t~at-tat. The knees Of a giant buckled.
and the blood Of big Tim Murphy
stained the grass where TX fell.
Led Life or Crime
Two years ago Murphy stepped
from Leavenworth p%enitentiary after
serving a sentence for completely in
the Dearborn street station robbery
Of 1922. Several men were playing
ball on a vacant lot near the station
at noon. When a mail truck carry
ing $l25.000 drove up, the men drew
revolvers, took the money and es-
capped in automobiles. The govern
ment charged that Murphy plotted
and led the execution Of this most
daring Of daylight robheries in Chi
cago.
Racketeer, mail robber, gambler
Murphy's name frequently was whis-
pered In connection with police mys-
teries. When "Mossy" Enright. who
had been prospecting in fields which
had been Murphy's own, was shot
dead az his home in 1920, Murphy
was arrested. But they couldn't
connect him with H.
IL was following his release in this
case that Murphy for the first time
appeared in public with the body
guard which designates the marked
man in Chicago's underworld. He
was never one 20 carry a gun. He
had no weapon when he was shot
down last night.
Marked for Death
Fifteen years ago the word went
around that Murphy. who had risen
70 power MS president of the Gas
Workers Union, had been marked
for death. Yet Murphy's buck teeth
continued TO CLEAN in the Murphy
smile and he lived to read the obit-
uaries Of scores Of gangsters, rack
eteers, feudists and slayers.
But 20 years Is a long time 10 live
for n with pursuits so %precarious
as Big Tins. His time came last
night
1t was no new story. the manner
Of his taking off. There was the
inevitable closed car, with drawn
shades-four or five men with muir
der in their hearts-the clip Of cart
ridges-the quick speaking ma
chine gun.
They put him ION the spot" Biz

Texas Strength in
Farley to be Decided
In Result of Stand
For Dry Plank
BY L. B. DILBECK,
Associated Press Staff Writer

HOUSTON, June 81 Governor
Moody's fight for a dry plank in the
democratic platform in keeping with
the platform adopted by the state
convention was carried Wednesday
before the national convention plat
form committee, of which he is the
Texas member.
The governor sat up late last night
with Cone Johnson, one Of his high
way commissioners, going over the
final draft of a dry plank following
the state convention outline but
modified here and then to meet sug-
gestions resulting from the govern
ors conferences with dry spokesman
from at least ten states, mostly south
err.
Texas strength in the national con-
vention depends largely on the gov
ernor's influence In the framing Of
the prohibition plank. The dry issue
10 his chief concern in the conven-
ton, especially since he has aban-
doned, apparently, his attacks on the
candidacy Of Governor AL Smith for
president. For that reason, the
youthful executives fortunes with
the platform hold paramount interest
of the Texas delegation.
Lauds Bowers Speech
He took on new optimism last night
from a prophesy OF friends that the
hackers Of Governor Smith will ac-
cept almost any kind of a dry plank.
since the republicans at Kansas City
declared for prohibition by name in a
demand for law enforcement.
Governor Moody hailed the keynote
speech Of Claude Bowers as a philo-
sophical and political triumph.
Its one of the best compositions /
ever heard" the governor declared.
Bowers combined a finished form
with q logic that would be hard to
beat. Look at that statement he
made that we demand that the hand
Of privilege shall be taken out Of the
farmers pocket and off the farmers
throat.
This was the passage that caused .
lengthy demonstration in which the
Texas delegation Joined in the con
vention hall Tuesday night.
Ball Wants We V. p.
Bowers made what might be called
an old fashioned rabble-rousing
democratic speech" Cone Johnson
said. There is just one thing that
would have made il better, though. It
should have been n nominating
speech. Bowers should have said Y
want to present to you the name Of
the man who has led the exposure Of
this republican corruption-Senator

would have made IL a speech beyond
improvement"
