Cedar Falls man Murphys defense in burglary case
In the Iowa v Murphy case at Cedar Falls, defense attorney C W Mullan argues Murphy entered the Lawrence implement office with a key to obtain catalogs to start his own business, not to burglarize. State witnesses describe Murphy fleeing, after alarms and shots, with claims of cash taken. Murphy was intoxicated but the defense maintains no criminal intent and notes Murphy’s 25 year reputation for honesty.
