am not at liberty TO give you All the IN
formation that we have obtained 1 think
the suspicion IL right strong against MN.
We have traced some OF the dead mans

surLY AND HIS ALIBr.
where viii the trouble come in against
Sully IL he says he can prove an dho', ana
has witnesses TO do go ?" asked the reporter.
lyon sec," said Mr.. Southwark. he
wanted to prove an abb before he was oven
accused. When he was summoned on SUM-
day by the constable TO testify at the coro-
ner's inquest he immediately went 10
Daniel and asked him to testify go as 70
show that he was with him on the night OF
the murder. II is true that in all proDa-
biiity he didn't know what a coroner's IN
quest was, and might have been under the
impression that il wes some court proceed
ing. but tho circumstance looks rather
suspiciouc.
DANIEL WAS WITH sUIIY.
At first Daniel denied that he was with
him on the night in question, saying that
the only time they had been together was
Monday night. but subsequently, he made
q confession 20 myself and Common,
wealth'sAttorney Thomas that be had
led about the night. and only made tho
first statement because he was frightened
and thought some harm might come 10
him. Since being informed that no marin
can come TO hun he admits that he was
with Sully on the night Of the murder.
Sully hopes TO prove the diibt by having
Daniel testify that he was with him until
II o'clock that night. and his mother and
father 20 testify that after that hour ne
came to their house and spent tho nieht
with them, returning TO Mr; feitig,S AT .
o'clock IN the morning. Whether ne can
do this or not do not know, as Daniel hos
told several lies"
STILL A MYSTERY.
THE case is still great mystery to M" "
the Sheriff continued, and ! think ono OF
the strangest things in connection with II ls
that we should have found q bloody shirt
and handkerchief in Sully's room and also
the same articles in Adams's room. What
IL still more peculiar is that the handker-
chiefs Of both are of the same material,
and the blood-stains on the two shirts are
in exactly the same places-on one OF the
sleeves. These stains are very small, but
almost exactly alike, and on precisely the
same part of the sleeve"
Mox's BLOODY COAT.
The coat Of "Mox." which was sent to
the courthouse with the other effects OF
the dead peddler by some unknown party
was shown TO the reporter. This article
seems to have more blood-stalns than
everything else in the whole case COM
bined, and the location of these stains is
hot -
bic for the coat to be worn at the time OF
the assault. They arc on the inside OF the
coat Just at the armhole, and how they got
there 10 q question that might well puzzie
the shrewdest detective. Mr.. Southwark
- OF tho opinion that "Mox" was not
wounded in the hay-stall. and that he was
carried IN the coat from the place where he
was assaulted. The rubber OF which the
coat is made is certainly very thick and
strong, and man could easily have been
carried in il, "a il would hold much
heavier weight than "Mox's." Mr.. South
ward thinks that possibly, in explanation
of the bloOd-stains by the arn-hole. the
coat was thrown over HE head whom he
was assaulted and used as sort OF hood,
While making an examination of the
coat the reporter dicovered another large
clot Of blood on the outside of the coat
almost Immediately in the same location OF
the stains near the armhole, but 1T was
clear that the blood had not soaked
through.
By this cont Mr.. Southwark thinks he
will be able to provo many things in con-
nection with the manner IN which thn ped
der was murdered.
ME-. FEIIIG's COURTESY.
Speaking Of the apparent innocence Of
Mr.. Feitig, Mr.. Southwark remarked upon
- a he 1o1 a. xuQ q bnuyn
TO visitors upon his place whether they
were clothed with the majesty or the law
or not. He also added that Mr.. Feitlg had
always done everything IN his power to
help him ferret out the case, and he seemed
TO have held back nothing.
The reporter asked Mr.. Southwark If he
had as vet made arrangements to combine
with Captain Tyler in ferreting out the
case, and he said that he had not done so,
but would continue in his capacity as
Sheriff to do everything in his power to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
COULD ARREST AGAIN.
He said even if Mr.. Feitlg was discharged
by Squire Atlee. the magistrate who will
conduct the preliminary examination-and
he hoped he would be-he could be rear-
rested at any time upon Suspicion as the
power of the magistrate ia not 30 great as
that of IA jury, who, having once acquitted
a man. he could not rearrest him.
Mr. Southwark still claims to have con;
siderable evidence against Sully and
Adams which he could not conscientiously
give to the newspapers. but says he does not
see where the witnesses against Mr.. and
Mrs. Feitig will come from. as he, in his
capacity as sheriff has to summon them,
end az vet has not been called upon to de-
mand the presence Of any one in the ex-
animation Monday.
