Mickey Sllney told Sun reporter In detail
yesterday how he came to kill Bob Lyons. the
Cherry street butcher. and how no come TO
confess the crimo to Inspector Byrnes after
his counsel. Levy. Friend 4 House. had Sc

when his case was called for trial. His con-

caro- whom the reporter asked to see him.

had asked him for tho money he had
assaulted me. Next morning went
into tho store and asked him for the
money. He was drunk. He said he
would not give II to me. told him needed

m. and struck me in the mouth and knocked
