The Trial of John L. sullivan for Man
slaughter Commenced

The trial Of John r. Sullivan white, charged
with manslaughter in having caused the death
of Henry r. Lipscomb, also white, on the
night of Nov 3 last was begun in the crimi-
nal court yesterday morning before Justice
Montgomery, and occupied the entire day. AS
sistant District Attorneys Lipscomb and Mul.
lowney appeared for the prosecution and Mr..
A. d. Williams for the prisoner.
The testimony for the government In sub.
stance was that on the night in question Lips.
comb while under the influence Of liquor,
went to Sulllvan's house. lie got into fight
just within the door. There were seventeen
wounds on. his face and head, apparently
made by a blunt instrument. Ills Jaw was
broken skull fractured, and his face had the
appearance of being badly kicked or stamped.
He died the next morning. Sullivan surrcn.
dered himself at once, saying that he thought
he had killed Lipscomb,
The testimony of the accused was to the Of.
feet that LipsComb had repeatedly made
threats against sullivan, and on May 30, 1886,
attacked him In saloon, AT another time he
held sullivan a prisoner in his own shop for
several hours. II appeared from the testimony
of the sister Of the defendant that Lipscomb,
although married man, had been meeting
her at nights, and on one occasion had made
an improper proposal to her, which she
spurned, but she also acknowledged that she
never told her mother or brother of the affair,
The theory of self.defense was supported
by a number of witnesses, but no motive was
given for the attacks made. by Lipscomb on
the defendant, nor why on the night In ques.
ton, If LipsComb did make an attack upon
the sister and her brother, his face should be
so numerically stamped upon and almost
obliterated by the defendant while he was
lying on the floor.
The trial will he resumed TODAY

SU IT'S
Particular People

A London tailor's die
tum was that he could
take a meal sack and
make a suit of clothes
worthy of a gentleman's
wearing if the fit was
right. Gentlemen have
fancies in dressing. One
goes forsomething snowy,
another expressly calls for
a special weave, and so on.
But the particular points
of a suit are fit and style.
Material and make may
be ever so good, but con-
demnation will be swift if
there be failure in fit and
style. In these two points
our stock of suits for busi-
ness and everyday wear
fulfil1s the highest ideals
Of dress, with due atten-
ton given to propriety of
fabrics and perfectness of
making, and, above all,
with the wit of the cloth

them. They are ready
made, and at prices of

likely to think them above
the average of custom

connected with his effort, as o special
egent Of Gov. Morton, to have Indiana
prisoners exchanged during the war. He
said he was referred by the president to
the secretary Of war, and by the latter in
turn 70 others. Finally he was given to
understand distinctly that 1t was not the
policy Of the government to exchange
prisoners; that it would not be
an equitable exchange to return
healthy, sound confederate for
. starved, diseased and broken down
union man. He said he insisted at the
time that Governor Morton should make
these facts public, but Morton, in defer
ence to Stanton's wishes refused to have
1t done. The association condemned Col
