THE HASWELL MURDER
Capture OfSuIIivan Was
a Big Surprise.
WHAT THE DETECTIVES SAY
The Watch Which Was Pawned Con-
sidered q Good Clue.

u"Yankee" Dan Sullivan, the Fall River
professor Of dancing whom the police
have been securing the country for since
the I'D OF July, will be brought TO Provi-
| dence from New York as soon AZ the
necessary papers can be gotten out. De-
| tective Parker won't on to identify him
| last night.
He is considered the key to the solution
| of the Haswell murder mystery, which
| took place at the "Tin Tops" on the even
| ing of the 10Th of July.
Two days after the killing OF Haswell,
who was an old and feeble man, Daniel
Sullivan and Martin Dalton, also of Fall
River, were suspected. The fact that they
were wanted by the authorities here was
kept a profound secret for several days,
the police believing that the men, II not
publicly accused would soon show mp In
customary haunts.
But tho police, although somewhat dis
turbed by the newspaper exposures con-
cerning the two men, never changed their
opinion that the men would be secured.
The ncws OF the capture OF "Yankeo
surprise to the people here, and consider
able excitement followed.
It was gratifying news TO the police de-
partment, whose officers have been hard
at work In and out OF the State since the
atrocious crime was committed.
When telegraphic advices came from
Chief Inspector Steers Of the New York
.-Ax kA AANa Nlv.n
were all out OF town, one or two being In
and about Boston.
It is supposed by the police that Martin
Dalton is In hiding In the vicinity OF
Stonington, Conn.,, and the belief was OK
pressed tonight that ho would be taken
into custody within IS hours.
The friends OF Sullivan say that he will
tell all that he knows about the Haswell
murder II he is "caged" fow hours, that
is, II he is at ell mixed up In tho affair.
They look for Sullivan, on account OF his
age and broken down condition Of recent
date, to lay the whole thing open and tell
as we'll what he knows about Dalton.
From evidence that is In possession Of
the police II IL certain that both Sullivan
and Dalton will have hard time to clear
themselves of the charges which will be
made against them.
First of all both Sullivan and Dalton are
known by name ito Martin Sullivan, the
keeper OF a liquor saloon In East Provi-
dence, near the home OF Haswell, from
whence he was inveigled. The description
furnished by a neighbor Of Hsswell and
that given by the widow OF the murdered
man tally perfectly with that OF Sullivan
and Dalton.
Then there's one OF the car conductors
who saw two men In company with Has
we'll on the way TO the spot where ho was
murdered, also other persons who saw
two men, one Of whom is positively stated
to be Dalton, looking over tho locality
where the murder took place.
The police have "clincher" In the way
Of evidence through the pawning OF the
murdered mans watch at a loan Office
near tho City Hall In Providence.
A great deal I'm connection with the
pawning OF this timepiece has beon kept
secret by the police, but tho evidence is
most important. Tho police were POSI-
tive they could get their men and they
seemed TO rely somewhat upon the fact
that the amount Of money stolen from
Haswell was smaE enough TO keep them
from taking q long journey In any diroc-
tion.
II Is positively known that the men who
killed Haswell secured only tio.9s, while
ts.lo were left untouched In another
pocket.
The general belief is that Dalton must
come into the hands Of the police, probably
upon information that may come from
Sullivan.
