THE LATEST EFFORTS.
The Police Feel Sure That Sullivan
and Dalton Are the Men.
WARRANT OUT SOME DAYS AGO.
People at Cedar Grove Were Sure They
Had sullivan spotted Last Night. but
Detective Parker Saw the Mistake
when the Man Was Found.

Detective Parker said this forenoon
Sullivan were the murderers OF Mr.. Has
we'll. He has known the two men for
some years. On Monday before the assault
be saw Sullivan on the street and ordered
him to take to his Office some shoes which
someone had stolen and Sullivan had In
his possession. Sullivan said he was
going down the river the next day and
couldn't, but he did.
When Mr. Parker heard that the two
men mad been In East Providence he was
sure they were the fellows, and he went
to Newport and Fall River to look for
them, as stated yesterday. Several days
ago he got out q warrant for Sullivan and
expected to have him In short time. No
clue 70 them is in his possession at pres
ent, SO far as known.
Dalton was arrested here some years
ago for breaking into Boyle Brothers es-
tablishment aud also for beguiling man
out to Brayton avenue and robbing him,
case.
A report came to the police from Cedar
Grove near Builock's Point, last night
that Sullivan was seen their and Detec-
tive Parker went down at once and spent
q great part of the night looking for him.

they saw. Finally he was found In bed
and the detective got light thrown on
him and at once saw that he was not the
man. His name Is Sullivan though. The
people at Crescent Park and Pleasant
Bluff knew that the police were at work
there last night and there was consider
able excitement but 1t doesn't look very
probable that either Of the men would NO
there now.
Deputy Chief of Police Eagan also says
that he feels confident that the fellows,
Dalton and Sullivan, committed the deed,
but whether, with their chances of dis
guising themselves, they can be easily
found is the question which arises.
III 1t had not been necessary to give
out the story SO early the police think
they could have gotten Sullivan very soon
and Dalton Ia short time.
About Changing the Clothes.
Jeremiah j. Sullivan, who keeps the
saloon in East Providence where Dalton
and Sullivan were reported to have been
seen, says that so much Of the story as
states that Dalton changed his clothes In
not do so and he does not know where he
changed them.
Mr.. Sullivan has certificate from the
Chief of Police OF East Providence to the
effect that he keeps an orderly place and
that 1t is not ono whore suspicious charac-

Where Sullivan Lived.
At I o'clock this morning Lieut.. Diary
and detail OF officers visited the house
in which Sullivan lived at 10 Washburn
street and searched IL from top to bottom.
No trace Of the man could be found,
however, and the inmates Of the house,
appeared greatly surprised at the visit OF
the officers.
One of the inmates told the officers that
Sullivan left the house at 3 o'clock on the
night Of the murder, and returned soon
afterwards 1t was also claimed that he
passed the following day at home
Sullivan was followed by Detective
Parker to Newport, and his doings in
that city were ascertained. His course
after leaving that city was discovered and
be was followed eastward until all traces
wore lost.
The officer has another clue which he ID
following closely and which when fully
developed will yield good results.
