 Since then he has figured promi- nently in many of the city's best known cases Dixie" Davis, now awaiting trial, had his bond reduced from $200,000 to $75,000 through Attorney Murray's efforts. He was counsel for Mime. Madeleine La Fer riere, better known as Mazda de Fontages, who was detained at Ellis Island on a moral turpitude charge for having shot Count Charles Pinet ton deChambrun, form e r French ambassador to Italy, for interfering with her romance with Il Duce.
 Another client was Harry Luck man, one of the defendants in the famous murder of Sam Drukman which threw New York's courts and politics into turmoil. Luckman was sentenced on second degree murder charge.
 Max D. Krone, Brooklyn private detective who was found guilty of extorting $500 from Alfred E. Smith, Jr, was another client of Attorney Murray.
 He represented Martin Mooney, reporter for the New York Ameri- can who refused to divulge a source of information given him as re porter. It was Mooney, before a grand jury. who brought the name of James J. Hines into the policy racket picture. Mooney, living with some gamblers to get material fol q story, heard mention made of two attempts to telephone Hines in hope of getting 8 "big shot" out of trou- ble. Mooney was fined $250 and sentenced to 30 days for contempt of court and after a series of ap- peals and court appearances began serving his sentence.

You can do the same with campfire,
