The man formerly lived In Boston. Police records here contain no infor mation about Murray. Identification was 'made by Special Detective Murphy, of the Fifty-fifth and Pine streets station, after a bar tender who has not been named said the picture of the dead man that ap peared in the newspapers "looked like Murray." Keys found in the pockets of the dead man's clothes were taken to a house near Broad street and Columbia avenue. One key opened the front door of the house and another the room sup posed to have been occupied by Murray. The man was at one time employed at the Hog Island shipyard. Other Crimes Charged According to the police, he is one of a band of six men nud seven girls, nil of whom live in the vicinity of Broad street and Columbia avenue, who have committed numerous outrages in this city within the lost six months. Julia Bowe. the sixtccn-yeur-old girl picked up by the police in the hope that she could identify the dead bandit, was taken to City Hall again this morning and at a henring before Magistrate Pcn nock In Central Station held under $400 bail as a witness to appear when wanted. The police now say they 'do not be lieve the girl knew; Murray. They say, however, that she may bo an acquaint ance of a man known to the police as "Bed" Murphy, said to have been the chauffeur who drove the "murder car for the bandits and the man who fired the' revolver-shot that killed Murray. The police are convinced the 'shot was Intended for Harry Potcrman, the nine teen -year-old collector for the Amoricnn Stores Company, who was the victim orthc hold-up. James Contardi. known as "Yellow," was arraigned nt City Hall today be fore. Magistrate Pennock nnd held in $500 bail for n further hearing. The charge against Contardi was "false pre- tetise" In the sale of an .automobile. His connection with the hold-up nnd murder is found in n reference made to "ieliow" in a note book found on tUc fyeiflc&d bandit nfter his body had been re r '.moved to the morgue. f The alleged fonnection of Murphy -With the crime wns learned today. De v tective Byrsley, of the Sixty-first nnd -, Thompson Btrects police stntion, last I mghUarrcsted a man who gave his nnmc as "Jimmy" Murphy. The prisoner, who the detective be jw lieved stole a coil of copper wire he car- ried, escaped a few moments Inter K while Detective Byrsley w,ns telephon jj ing for the patroj wagon from a call " station at Fifty -second street and Park side avenue. The detective reported the escape, and was shown a picture of "Red" Murphy, He said the man he had picked up wns not the same man. With the identity of the dead man known, the deteetivpn liellorn if will It be a comparatively easy task to round up those associated with him in the holdup and find the man responsible for the killing. All four of the companions 'of the man who was killed arc thought to be still in Philadelphia. The detectives seem firm in the belief that the work of the bandits whp held up Petcrman, is interwoven with the work of the wool bandits nnd the gnng who .shot "hnd killed Watchman John Nunamaker in Kensington n few weeks .ago. With this thought in mind the detec tives yesterday questioned John Miller, under arrest for shooting four persons when he ran amuck in the vicinity of Eighth and ine streets Tuesday night. Miller is said to be connected with the cloth thieves. DID YOU SEE IT? Only Early Risers Beheld Remark able Sky Map In Cloudland Early risers saw a phenomenon in the skies this morning.

CREMATION EXERCISES PROVE OFFENSIVE TO COEDS Changes in Future Sophomore Celebrations Expected as Result of Charges of "Vulgarity" Charges of "vulgarity" and "crude wit" in the exercises ntteniling the "cremation" in effigy of University of Pennsylvania professors .may lead to radical changes iu these exercises. Since this year's cremation exercises last Wednesday numerous protests have been received by the University offi cials. It is believed the protests will be crystallized into some definite action. One of several letters sent to the Pennsylvnnian, the daily campus publi cation, has the following remarks to make: "When the time comes (hat a Penn sylvania man fears to take his family or his friends to a University function, some radical action should be taken to bring our stnudards up to what tradi tion demands. Wit is the spice oflife, but there is a sharply drawn line be tween wit nnd vulgarity. The sopho more cremations were a disgrace, not only to the class of 1021, but to the University.
