suspicious with relation to his conduct

THE MISTRESS STORY.
on Sunday morning, August % phe day OF the
der) about six O'Clock Dolan, having been out all
night called the residence Of the witness No. AZ
Bowery, where he remained few minutes. He was
dressed at the time ia dark gray coat and vest and
light gray panaloons He returned to the house about
three four hours hter-between nine and ten
O'Clock After being inside a short time he took
from his pocket black pocketbook and gave her 81
from IT, His coat buttoned closely across his shirt
bosom, evidently for the purpose or conceang his
shirt There a scratch on his face which looked
If 1t had been very recently inflicted II was not there
when he left the house at six O'Clock She asked him
how he came by the scratch. He replied that he had
done II accidentally with his nails.
She also asked him where he had obtained his money
He answered that he had made raise and cautioned
her to say nothing about it. After some further
yersaton Doan said that he going the house of
his mother to change his shirt and took his departure
Al twelve O'Clock noon he came back His clothing
had been changed Instead of the dark gray coat and
vest and light gray pantaloons, which he had on when
he left, he blue flannel coat and pantaoons and
white vest He had been in the house only little
while when he took out the black pockcbook before
mentioned and commenced to count over some bills,
among which his companion SIS and $40
notes How many she could not say.
He afterward remarked that he had $45 The peck
etbook he hid away in a closet Again he cautioned
her TO tell nobody that he had any money. Doian re-
NAMED with Mary Reed until nine O'Clock on Monday
morning, when he left the house
In the Of investigation the detectives found
another young woman. b. the name OF Maggie Casey,
also friend of the prisoners, who stated that Doan
had said 10 her a few weeks that Mary Reed knew
something about him which, if dvulged, would make
him NY from the city.
The story told by Mary Reed fully corroborates the
theory OF Doans guilt The clothing worn by Dolan
previous his leaving No 40 Bowery just before the
murder exactly tales with the description or the
clothing worn by the murderer given by Mr.. Noe.
The concealng Of his shirt, which was undoubtedly
torn and bloody, and his changing his clothing, are
other highly suspicious circumstances, and the sudden
display OF money forms another link in the chain OF
evidence that tightly encircles the prisoner.
Mary Reed was, after her confession, taken before
the District Attorney who committed her to the House
of Detention, to be used as witness in the trial
The police authorities express themselves as satisfied
beyond doubt that Dolan is the murderer
