Murphy Sane Now Faces Trial on 14 Criminal Counts
Dennis Murphy, a prominent Iowa financier and attorney from Waukon, was found sane by a district court jury and now faces 14 counts including embezzlement and irregular financial dealings. The case centers on alleged mishandling of mortgages and notes involving Julia Moe Ginnes and J W Brennan. Dozens of witnesses testified as the sanity hearing endured, with alienists from Iowa City and Chicago testifying for both sides. The trial arose after grand juries in Allamakee County indicted Murphy previously for numerous alleged financial irregularities.

Lightning Storm Triggers Circuit Flashes Across Town
An electrical storm and high winds caused circuits to blink and relays to trip as transformers took strikes, plunging parts of the city into brief darkness.

The event intertwined with a vivid display described as brighter than usual. Nearby, Christ Episcopal Women’s Guild plans a 1 pm luncheon at the parish house with Mrs. T.R. McCoy leading hog teas.
