James Murphy was born in Rochester, NY, and his residence was in Lafayette, Indiana, at the time of his crime. He was convicted at St. Albans, VT, for grand larceny. The record does not give his date of birth, but says that he was 30 years old. We can copy the record for you (and for anyone else who has written asking for information) for a fee of $5.00, which includes postage. Please make the check out to the University of Vermont and send to me at the address below.
