As bas been published in Tao State,
Mr. Geo. B. Kittrell, Of Orangoburg

at SwalnBboro that the prisoner ls
very much like a photograph of Mur

angeburg awaiting trial.
Sergt. O. 0. Rrbrrts of the poulton
tlary guard was Bent to Swainsboro
about ten days ago to see If thc nun
In prison thcro was Murphy, as had
been a'Dged by the ohlef of police of
Augusta. Sjrgt H berts reported by
wire that tho man was not Murphy,
although lt was singular that the mau
conv'cted of horse stealing e* " vaina
boro attempted to take his ' ife when
ho heard that an ctllcor from South
Carolina was coming for him. H
brokoa bott le and with a jiggod piece
of glass made a wcuud o t his wrist
from whi^h ho bled profusely and his
condition was discovered just In time
to F.avo his life.
Whether lt was from his emaciated
condition on ace out of this blood lot
tlrg, or on account of tho chango of
(Ive years of out door life upon thc
oountonanca of ono who had been oon
(hied in a cell, Sorgt, lt >bcrts was un
able to Identify the mau aa Murphy
However, on his return to Columbia
he did report to Capt. G. i 111 th, super
intendent of the penitentiary, that ho
suspected the man notwithstanding
tho fe Ci that there was a marked dis
crepancy in the holgl t of the m ,n in
arrest at S valnshoro and tho height
of tho man In the penitentiary as
shown by tho penitentiary records.
Murphy had had several tooth miss
lng, aud the man in j Ul at Swainsboro
had a gold crown In the placo whore
these teeth wore missing. Sergt. Rob
erts hoing unable to complete tho iden
tifie ttlon, Capt. Grlfilth had written
to tho sherlir at Swainsboro to send

and this has not yet hoon done.

A 8peoial to The State TliuTKday

''Thc impression hero ls that the

Murphy's wife's rolatives movett to

has been reported hero several times
that ho ranged b. tween Swalusboro

"It ls also reported that a pa'rty

uientherc has never changed, Murphy
ls still believed guilty The statement
of his Georgia reiativis that he was in
Augusta at the time of thc murder of
Treasurer Copes has teen proven false.
It is believed to have boon unwise to
have commuted the sentence of a man
who so richly deserved his death,
without making some ( iTorts to verify
the statements made In Murphy's be
half at tho last moment and whloh
could have been disproved without

Fun and Imposition.
I
A white man mmed Batten from a
GreerH seotlon, visited Spartanburg 1
Sunday and seoured a physicians pre- '
scrip', i in to get gome wh'Bkoy from the |
dispense ry. Ho then bunted up Mayor
Floyd, who has to sign these pro- f
sorlptlons In order to make them va- :
lld. '
To tho doctor and to tho mayor he (
related the story, which was to the *
t livot that bis wife was a very sick 1
woman, and that be wanted the 1
whiskey to oarry home to her. Be
fore signing the paper, Mr. Floyd
said to tho min, If,you are fool- 3
lng mc you'll regret lt." Tole caused 1
the stranaer to vociferously and ve- ^
hemontly repeat lils story, and his
anxiety about his wife's cmdltlon, *
and hts desire to get back to his home J
seemed to bo real.
No sooner had he secured the quait c
of booze from a diiponsary than he
hastened lu rear of tho building, un- 1
corked lt and began drinking freely.
After several liberal applications of
the "red," he hired a hack and bo
gan taking In the city. The polio.:
soon steered him to tho lookup.
When ho greeted Miyor Floyd
Thursday m ming, on charge of
drunkenness, he liad no talk to make
about the sick folks at home ; but
begged the morey of the courb. His
indisposition was too much for his
honor, however, and ho was sentenc
ed to pay a lluo of 125, the extreme
limit. Hepildupanl left the elby
a sadder, but wiser man.-Spirtan
