today through Germany from Stock

him and hit wife would not occur
again,
Mr. Murphy will leave for bona

Madame Borglum was visiting at
the home of her sister, who is Mrs.
Solon Borglum, in Norwich, Conn.,

'.. "I watched the evolution of the
sculpture for about a month. The
model used for the central figure had
not beautiful hands and Solon asked
to use my hands for that part of the
work," said Madame Borglum, a.

ing the statue disclosing this infor
mation. "On the Trail" and "New-Born,"
two bronzes by Solon Borglum, have
