"I think, too." sal2 Commissioner
Armstronc. "that tha charr filed In
this rasa Is a little racue; that It would
be better to have something mora defi
nite "
"The Water Board dlsrliarred Mr.
Murphy for the rood of tha service, but
he knows and Mr. J.lnnott alao knows
why It did not prefer more serious
charrea; It was simply to lac Mr. Mur
phy down easy." rejoined Mayor Run ti

"Tea. T know Jast why ha was dis

Mr. WUlla then announced that tha
Commission would take tha case under
advisement and that It would announce
Its decision later. John F. Logan, one
of tha Commissioners, was unable to

was enraged In trying a murder case
In Circuit Court.
Murphy was head meterman In tha
water department and waa let out after
It waa found, as altered by tha Mayer
and members of the Water Board, that
ho had been guilty of selling city ma
tertale to junk dealers and appropriat

No testimony was taken yesterday
