Finds Nothing to
Justify Arrest
Judge Elgin Turns Loose Two Men and
a Woman Who Were Spotted By
' City's Woman Sleuth.
A fleck of dust on their shield or
something of the kind had a tendency
to quash what was believed to be a big
catch of two men and a woman in a
local lodging house last night by Offi
cers Woolery, White and Irvine. It
seems that Police Matron Lynch had
"spotted" l. A. Hulbudt, W. M. Storm
and Mrs. E. M. Creswoll, while they
were entering the lodging house on
State street and the night members of
the police department raided the place1
immediately.
The arrest was made on tho charge
of disorderly conduct, and after Attor
ney Caroy F. Martin was called upon,
the defendants gave ball and were re
leased. This morning the trio appeared
before Judge Elgin and after a brief
investigation, the case was dismissed
on the grounds that there did not exist
Bulficiont evidence to constitute a com
plaint against the two men and the
woman.
According to defendant and Attorney

for months haB bitterly fought here
charges by her husband that she was
unduly intimate with Murphy while at
Jackson barracks, New Orleans.
When Mrs. Merriam'B case came up
Murphy was named as co-rrespondent.
He was in Paris. Immediately he
learned of the charges Murphy cabled
denouncing them as a "frame-up" and
declaring that so far as he knew, Mrs.
Morriam was deeply wronged. As soon
as possible Murphy came from Paris to
clear Mrs. Morriam 's name in open
court, she having resisted overtures
from her husband to drop the case and
be reconciled on the plea that, for hor
daughter's sake, her nnme must bo
fully cleared.
Murphy finally appeared in court
here ready to tell his story, wishing to
return to Taris whon hiq taisk was done.
Lawyers wrangled over the proposition
to hear -Murphy 's story, whilo a court
room full of women craned their necks
and stretched their care. Finally Judge
Graham decided that the tale of scan
