PLACED in a carriage Wednesday
morning to he sent to the Re?

thought her llfe would be saved,
Mary Murphy, a young Irish
glrl, who had been In this country only
about twelve months, wns found <lead

of the hospltal. in alarm he roporteif

Immedlately te.lephoned to Bliley's llv.

? ordered Mr. Bllley t<*iePhoned back
that tiie body had better l-e sent at
I once to hi_ undertaklng establishment,
! which was done.
Went i iiiitteiiiiiteiy io Police.
Ae soon as he heard of the circum
! atances, Mr. Bllley yesterday hiformeo
I r*blef of Police Werner of the tragedy.
and was by the latter requested to de
! lay the burlal untll after an lnve3tlga
tion.
ln tlie last stages of mortal Illness,
Mary Alurphy. the humble lrlsh glrl,
was placed in thn carriage from the
home of Mrs. Hermance. 1210 East
Marshall Street, the same woman who.
was the lirst to receive Uttle "Baby
Vaughan" when that infant. began Its
?brrowful and tragle career in Rlch?
mond. The "Baby Vaughan" case H
probably wel! remembered Mrs. Her?
mance was placed under survetllance
immedlately, and early last night shu
waa requested to call at the policn
headquarters. where she was pu*
through a grtlllng cross-questlonin*
by the chlef, Commonwealth's Attornev
Folkes. Coroner Taylor. a reputabl*i
physician. and Detectives Bailey, Wren
Wlltshlre and McMahon. Apparently
she cleared her skirts of all responsi
bllity, for she was allowed to go aftet
a dellberatlon of an hour or more. anu
further consultatlon by the same ofll?
cials was held.
llunt *Votv for DruK Clerk.
The Murphy glrl was attended by a
Church Hlll physician tn her last hour.
anrl, it is supposed, all durlng her ill?
ness. That physlclan waa lately un?
der charges In the Police Court, but it
was never proved, and he was dlamlss
Cd. The pollco. evidently could flnd
nothing agninst him. so then thev
turned thelr attention to the name of
a young drug clerk, who dlsappeared
from Klchmond last Saturday. It wa -
stated that the police also did not
BUSpect hlm, though it has been open
ly charged that he is responsible for
the condition whlch brought on her Ill?
ness.
Even no conclusion was arrlved at
as to the cause of that Illness, though it
ls generally euspected that sho dled
as the result of an attempt at ctimlnal
operatlon. The whole affnir ls shrotid*
ed in mystery, and even the police are
at sea. The young woman is dead; the
young man who used to frequently
call nn her has left the city, and the
-"ollce Department is without a clue, it
appears, on which to start. But the
activity of the department and the
Commonwealth's Attorney shows that
foul play is suspected.
Miss Murphy left her home in ap?
parently good health last Thursdev,
and hor friends became alarmed. The
drug clerk. who was her constant com?
panlon, dlscovered that he was sus?
pected, aml two days after he, too, lett
ths city, leavlng In the hands of hls
brother a note in which he stated that
he would return within a week. Ile
is due to return, then, on Saturday,
but his return Is not expected by the
police. Hls brother does not know. r.r
claims not to know, his whereabouta;
but it is probable that he wlll be sub
Jected to a severe eross-examinatlon.
Mny Oull Her as Wlint's_.
No warrant, it was stated last night.
was sworn nut. The police have their
suspiclons, but they would not divulge
them. Mrs. Hermance wlll not be
called again unless lt should be ne_
essarv to use her as a witness. Tnt;
physician who attended the lrlsh glrl
in her Illness wlll be called on in -ill
probability to tell what he knows
about the affalr. And in the mean
whlle the drug clerk wlll he hunted
throughout the United States, for lt
Is belleved that he now holds the key
to the situation.
Mary Murphy, It is said. was nbout
twenty years of age, though she ap?
peared to bo older She came from
the Emerald Isle to a family whom
she had known in the old country, aml
they threw around her every possible
protection. She obtained a position
and dld well, She made now friends
