THAT IS THE MAN."
Mrs. HaSWeII Identifies
Daniel Sullivan.
MRS. WARD ALSO POSITIVE.
Sullivan Admitted That the Test Pro-
posed Was Fair One.

Daniel Sullivan was given every oppor-
tunity yesterday by the New York police,
whose prisoner he Is, to cvade identified
tion as one of the men alleged to be con-
cerned in the murder OF Anthony Has
well, who was decoyed from his home on
the night of July 10th and SO severely
beaten that he died on the day following.
Mrs. Haswell, the aged widow of the
murdered man, went TO New York ycster-
day to sec IL she could identify Sullivan.
Mrs. Haswell was accompanied by Mrs.
Ward, a friend, who with her had seen
Mr.. Haswell leave his house on the night
he was injured with two strangers.
Tho identification took place in the
Tombs police court.
The two women were given seats In the
brought up from his cell in the City
Prison and given seat among the spec
tators in the court room.
"You are satisfied that this Is perfectly
fair, amt your" he was asked.
Certainly" he replied. "Im sure they
won't be able TO identify mo anyway, be-
cause am innocent"
Mrs. uaswell was then requested to
step outside and look at the men Oh the
benches, but she asked Mrs. Ward to go
first, and the latter consented.
There were Mt least 20 men OH the bench
with Sullivan. She looked intently at
each OF them, and then pointed TO Sulli-
van and said:
"That's one of the men,"
"Aro you you positivo?" asked Rounds
man Campbell.
al am sure he Is one OF the men," was the
reply. 81 opened the door for him and
his companion when they came to the
house. i also saw them go away with Mr..
Haswell."
Mrs. Ward was then taken to another
room 30 as not to be able to communicate
with Mrs. Haswell until the Identification
was completed.
Sullivan changed his seat, and then tho
widow Of the murdered man was led into
the court room.
Mrs. Haswell walked in front Of the
row Of benches, looking carefully at each
man until her eyes rested on Sullivan.
She paused and gazed at him with
frightened countenance.
"That Is the murderer" she gaspcd.
(Which one?" asked the sergeant
"Place your finger on his shoulder"
The sergeant did this to prevent future
doubt.
"Must II" asked the widow drawing
back.
"It is best to do So" she was assured,
and she placed her hand on Sullivan's
shoulder.
Sullivan trembled and hung his head.
Mrs. Haswell gave a more complete
statement OF the murder than any pre-
viously published.
On tho day OF the murder, she said, her
husband left the house carly in the day.
He was In the real estate business, and
kept his affairs pretty much to himself.
His wife did not know where he went.
Subsequently, on his way home, he met n
friend in a car.
He appeared to be in jocular mood,
and pulling a roll Of bills from his pocket,
he turned to his friend and said
"Can lend you any money? have got
$3.50 and you can have It,"
"Thank you," said the other, "but l
don't need It. You arc very foolish, how
ever, to display your money In u public
place."
There were several strangers In tho car.
Mrs. Haswoll believes that Sullivan and
Dalton were among them.
According to the theory Of the police,
the two men followed Mr.. Haswell and
ascertained where he lived.
Several hours later they called on him
and represented that they wanted to buy
q farm I'm East Providence.
They were easily suited and Mr.. Has
well, at their request, went with them to
East Providence to clinch the bargain.
Once on the lonely road, it is believed,
they jumped at him and dealt him his death
blow. When found, the murdered mans
pockets were turned inside out and the
$3.50 was gone, but 81 in change was found.
Just Ice Mcmahon recommitted Sullivan
to the city prison without bail, to await
the arrival OF oxtradition papers from
IL
