killing upon Quinlivan. Duggan was bailed
az witness. 1t is evident that plans are
already foot to get Quinlivan off. man
named Deran, who was the only witness of
the affair and who testified at the inquest,
told an entirely different story from what
be did at the time of the shooting. He was
carousing with Duggan and Quinlivan and
now testifies that Eaves tried to shoot his
slayer first. The case has stirred up the
police authorities and general
wedding out of the force is
promised. To-day the sergeant on duty
in that section Of the city in which the muir
der was committed was dismissed, and other
dlsmissals are looked for.
