JOHN GALvrS,s assAILANrs.
The Guilt Fastened Upon an Inebriate
 Asylum Inmate.


 Contrary to all expectations Albert Roberts. the companion of John Galvin's assailant, is a man of refinement and considerable education. He is about 40 years of age and says that his home is in Philadelphia, Pa., where it is said his par ents are in good circumstances. According to his story he went to Hartford from Susquehanna, N. Y., about two weeks ago and Immediately placed himself under the care of Dr Crethers ill an inebriate asylum where he met another inmate named Sander. His story of the assault is rather disconnected, and many points he cannot or will not explain. He says that about 10 o'clock Wednesday night he left the lodge, in company with Sander, whose home Is in Columb bus, Ohio. They hired carriage, but gave the driver no definite instruction simply to take them down town. On the way they stopped at several saloons and drank considerably. After the hackman had been discharged at Exchange corner they had several more drinks. It was about 12 o'clock when they entered Miners saloon, on State street, and had more drinks. By that time they were both pretty well under the influence of liquor Leaving Miners, they proceeded down Asylum street, and when in front of Foresters' block met the sausage vendor, Calvin. It is at this point of the story that Roberts does not speak clearly. He says that he saw there was was going to be trouble and started to walk down the street. He had not gone more than @ dozen yards when Sander came running up and grabbing him by the shoulder said in an excited voice, "Run. 1" He at once complied, and the two rushed along side street, finally reaching Miners place for the second time.
 As will be seen from the above, Roberts account of the assault is rather queer He says he walked away because he kne W there was going to be trouble, and soon after Sander ran past him. Now, as an actual fact, the other sausage vendsr, who was on the opposite side of the street, says that they were both together, and both partook of some frankfurters. This all looks as if Roberts is trying to hold some thing back, and there is little doubt but that he is.
 | On Thursday Dr Brothers learned that Sander had come in the previous night in an intoxicated condition and refused to have anything more to do with him, as he had for the past few days caused consider able trouble in the home. That he might leave the city, Brothers provided him with through ticket to Columbus, Ohio. Galvin's sister Mary visited the hospital yesterday noon. Her brother lay upon 1 G1e coe LuoalllHS leeDly Wueu Suo seeppeu | forward and said in a fearful voice:
 "Jack, Jack, look at me-"
 Then for the first time since his entering the institution the unfortunate young fellow opened his eyes and in semi-con- cious way murmured:
 "Give me"-meaning his sisters hand.
 When to reach her handkerchief Mary stepped behind one of the doctors, her brother followed her with his eyes, show ing that he recognized her.
 The police are endeavoring to catch Sander. The authorities of Columbus, o, 1 have been notified and the best detectives of that city's police department are search 1 ing for the man and it will be only mat ter of few days before he will be in the clutches of the law As soon as his cap ture is effected extradition papers will be made out and the murderous assailant brought to this city for trial.
