 Patrick J. Sullivan, charged with burn ing the barn of John L. Morehouse, Jan uary 28, 1892, has been on trial, this week, in the Superior court at Bridge port. Sullivan seemed to be drunk, the night of the fire and said that he got his liquor at Scinto's and was at the Fair field post office when the fire broke out. The prosecution introduced evidence to show that Sullivan was shamming drunk enness, Scinto testifying that he did not get liquor at his place, that night, and Postmaster Bacon Wakeman that he did not get his mail on that evening. James Fuller, fellow prisoner at the jail, testi- fled that Sullivan told him that he (Sul- livan) burned the barn and wished that he had burned Warehouse with it. Full Ter is the villain sent to State prison for incest with hisyoung step-daughter, who afterward got him released by swearing that she had perjured herself. Fuller was now in jail for abusing his wife, who is trying to get divorce. The prosecu- tion is trying to show that Sullivan is not Fairfield's fire bug because the fires have continued since he has been in jail.
