MURPHY SLAYING BRINGS GUN BAN (Continued From Page One.) parts of the city and Murphy was very successful. j When Murphy made' tm Investigation, whether it was of a burglary, an accident or of some other case which he had been sent to investigate, his report wa* always complete and reliable. Fie was loved and admired by bis brother officers and respected and liked ky all who met him. The city has Buffered a great loss, but tha -loss of his friendship Is far greater.

‘MUST ENFORCE LAW’—FURNISS Dr. Sumner Fnrnlss, colored, member of the city council, today expressed bis regret over the occurrence which cost the llfo of Sergt. Murphy. “I am sure that all good citizens, regardless of color, regret such nets of lawlessness as led up tp the killing of Sergt. Murphy and the placing In Jeopardy of the lives of other brave officers and citizens.” Err. Fnrnisss said. ‘‘Thomas was a criminal of the worst type. Criminals of any color must learn that Indianapolis will not tolerate them and that our laws will be enforced impartially against them."

NEGRO BOASTED HEWASGUNMAN Henry “Hell Cat” Thomas, slayer of Sergt. Maurice Murpby, was either a super-criminal or a maddened dime novel fiend. This Is the conviction of police officers. His mannerisms indicated he may have been demented, hut the cunning of Ids crimes tend to discourage this belief. His traits spread terror. He openly boasted he was a gunman. Negroes who came in contact with him shied at bis association. “I live 300 miles south of hell," he wrote in a m te to the police, threatening to kill - Detectives George Sn a ed and Ed Traube. “I’m the original ‘Heji Cat' and I shoot to kill,’ he told many. His defiance of til® police and law perhaps never has been equalled In Indianapolis. He had his picture taken in wild west attire, holding two huge revolvers, with hoisters and a cartridge belt buckled aronnd his waist. He was proud of this picture, often showing it among negroes. That he was dangerous was understood by the police. They knew if they trapped him he would fight. He was never known to be without a plsto', often two. When the police searched his home after his wife had been arrested for grand larceny, a large number of dime novels "ere found. There iivluded "Jesse James,” "Nick Carter.” and others. "Hell Cat's" letter to the police said that Detectives Sneed and Traube would be killed March 2. This was sent after Mrs. Thomas was arrested. At that time he merely signed the note "HHI Cat." but the detectives were aware It was from Thomas. George Holloway, a colored boy. delivered the ncte, the text of which follows. "I thought I drop you a few lines to give you fair warning about that goods you taken from house at 133(5 North West street, you and your partner laying it to that woman but that a damn Me, you all no it, that woman don’t no nothing about It. I am the man; did IfTSyself. I will not tell you my name, you can ask the woman my name and she will te'l you anything. I am going to give to second of March to have that woman taken out of Jail; If she ain't out at that I am going to kill you and that damn Trabue, too. 1 live 300 miles south of hell and I’m known as ‘Hell Cat.’” Close to SI,OOO worth of goods apparently taken from stores and homes was found in the Thomas home on North West street. A number of revolvers and ammunition aiso were taken. Mrs. Thomas Is held under J 3.009.

From the results obtained by him in the numerous calls he Riiswered I am convinced that uiv Judgment was not amiss. “He was energetic and, at all times, fewicss To him every case was Important and he r.evor failed to obtain all details when making an nvestlgu tlon." For many years Sergt. Murpby wns a running mate of Sergt. Wade Hull, who was killed cn Sept, Id, while raiding a negro gambling house. "As was the case In the death of Sergt. Wade Hull," added the chief. "I feel that It is difficult to replace such a man r Sergr. Murphy. Ho was congenial at a times and was very intelligent in hi*' work. He used excellent Judgment and was the type of man In whom any one could place the utmost confidence and rest assured that that confidence would not be abused. I cji C not find words or phrases which would convey how greatly I feel the loss of Sergt. Murphy, both because of a close personal friendship and because of Ids ability as a policeman."

The salaried woman usually goes to picture shows —regularly. She is a toiler. And hex toil has to be balanced by a certain amount of amusement and recreation. These she finds in the motion picture—and at a price which she can afford to pay. Science, Travel, News, .Story, classic Drama and diverting Comedy— these she finds in the motion picture, together with the romance which is dear to her woman’s heart and the inspiration demanded by her woman’s soul. So the salaried woman is what she laughingly calls herself— a movie fan! But never until now has the salaried woman bad any solid sort of chance to get in, on the profit side of the motion picture business. The FROHMAN AMUSEMENT CORPORATION now gives her this opportunity, at the same time making it safe and easy.
