Murphy, the young man who waa con
victed of the murder of Charles Seller
in Cherry county and given a Ufa sen
tence, will remain tn the penitentiary
tha rent of his natural life. Governor
Morehead, who about two years ago took
pity on the lad and gave him a furlough,
revoked the furlough and returned him
to that institution this morning.
Murphy and three other young men
resolved to give Sellers a lesson be
cause the latter had been too persistent
In hla attentions to a sister of Murphy,
and took him out one m.wnlng ant
strung him up to a tree In Cherry county.
He never bothered the girl again for the
"lesson" resulted In his death. Murphy
Was tried and given a life sentence.
Creed to Take 8tep.
Soon after Ms arrival at the state peni
tentiary Governor Morehead waa be
sieged by a number of prison reformers
who persisted that the young man should
be given a chance. They told the ex
ecutive that Murphy would educate him
self and be good the rest of his life. The
governor gave Murphy a furlough pend
ing good behavior.
The young man, with the help of the
friends who bad besieged the governor,
got a Job and applied to the state unt
Iverstty for admission. Chancellor Avery
did not believe it for the best Interests
of the Institution that a convict be ' al
lowed to mingle with the other Students
'and refused him admission. However,
the authorities at the Wealeyan Meth
odist university at University Place took
pity en tha lad and allowed him to
attend that institution.
Waa la Moles Ante.
For more than a year Lincoln baa been
Infested with a gang of boy who have
been stealing automobiles. Several ar
rest have been made and the lads let
Igo on promise of good behavior, but the
thieving has been going on with , re
newed vigor. Last Tueadsy two young
caroled convicts were captured after they
Tiad stolen an automobile. Investigation
disclosed they had been in the habit of
taking the machines for some time and
taking girls for joy rides. The theft
ef the last one disclosed that Murphy
(was with them In the machine which was
last stolen, although he say he left them
after discovering that the machine had
peen stolen. However, this in disputed.
Morehead Dlscasted.
Governor Morehead Is very much dis
gusted with the whole deal. It is under
stood that he is very much put out that
the yong man whom he had given a
chance, and had been roundly criticised
for doing so, should be so unappreclatlve
of the 'effort. Some of the parties who
fiad been insistent for Murphy's parole
palled on the governor this morning and
dnststed 1 that the boy should not be
nt back to the pen. The governor was
bbdurate and Intimated that as he had
riven the man a chance and Murphy
pad not appreciated It, he could go back
nd take the rest of Ms life to think It
over.

WAIT FOR HALL TO SPEAK
Democrat! Who Are Pushing Him
for Goternor Hope He Will
Fill Great Gap.
DOES NOT GIVE OUT HIS FLANS
LINCOLN. Aug. 1. Spectat.)-Demo-crata
around Lincoln have taken courage
now that an effort Is being made to draft
Dr. P. L. Hall as the democ ratio candi
date for governor. TtWe who have been
much disturbed over the apllt-up condi
tion of the unterrlfled forces appear to
think that Dr. Hall can bring all the
kicking tmes together and make them for
get the cussing they have been giving
William J., Charles W. Bryan, Gilbert
Hitchcock, Governor Morehead, State
Treasurer Hall and the rest of the fel
lows who have not seen fit to walk In
the straight and narrow democratic path
which leads to democratic glory.
But Dr. Hall is mighty close-mouthed
on the subject. He Is to give a tslk at a
democratic "get-to-together" meeting at
the Llndeil hotel next Saturday night,
and the faltering ones are holding their
breath In hopea that the national commit
teeman will aay, "I accept."
However. Dr. Hall la no spring chicken
In politics. He does not need a telescope
to observe the dog eat dog condition
which exists among his democratic
brethren. With the party split from (all
to noodle over leading candidates for th
senatorkhlp, he knows that if he gets th j
nomination he will be compelled to take
one- side or the other of the controversy
and that will simply mean goodbye to the
governorship. He also knows that Charlie
Bryan has his eye on that nomination.
The doctor has been pretty lucky so far
In keeping the Bryan and the Hltchc'ock
factions all friendly with him, simply be
cause he has stayed out of the fights,
but he knows that to oppose the Islte
of Brother Charlie or his brother . means
committing the unpardonable political
sin, and without their support one cannot
hope to pull through for the governor
ship Job or any other place on the demo
cratic ticket.
Dr. Hall has been wise enough In his
political career not to accept democratic
nominations for anything that anybody
else wanted and so he has been able to
keep a strangle hold on the affections
of Nebraska democrats. The question
now Is whether he will allow the political
seer to inveigle him Into taking a nom
ination In an effort to stem a defeat that
la apparent to even the most sanguine
is Inevitable.
BENSON BOND DEAL
SLIGHTLY EXPENSIVE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. 19. (Special.) Secre
tary of State Pool has refused to sign
an affidavit that the $25,000 bonds voted
by the village of Benson have been reg
istered In his office.
He has discovered that the Jackson
la. known at the time of Its passage In
1913 as house roll 840, was never In cor
porated In the atatutes. This In the mind
of the secretary of state makes it a
question whether the law which required
him to make such certificate is valid or
not.
The' Benson bonds bear per cent inter
est and were sold to outside parties with
out the state being given a chance to
bid on them. The state would have been
glad to have taken the bonds so that the
people of Benson would have had to pay
but t per cent. As the deal went through
the 125,000 bonds bear 8 per cent and a
premium of $1,600 waa paid for them. As
the bonds run twenty years It will mean
that the people of Benson are giving
someone a neat little profit of t3,SoO on
the deal, which could have been saved if
the state had been given a crance to bid.
