Sweeney strongly protests that he knows nothing
whatever about the murder OF Panormo, and had
nothing Whatever to do with It, and the authorities
have no positive evidence that he did. He was
drunk at the time, and does not remember the date.
He had no intention he says, Of killing the he
struck. Sweeney continues;- -.r7r .t
