Telegraphs For His Brother and Pleads
Not Guilty Today.

yankee Dan" Sullivan, wanted for the
murder OF Anthony q. Haswell, was
brought from New York last night by
Detective Parker.
Sullivan was arrested In that city by
Detective Doano OF Boston, and Officer
Finnerty OF New York squad 10 days ago,
and has been held at the Tombs Police
Court 10 await the arrival OF the reausi-
tion papers from this State. Detective
Parker left the city on Sunday night and,
armed with the necessary papers, went
direct TO Albany, whore he had an audi
ence with Governor Flower, who after
considerable formality attached his sigma
ture and the State seal TO the important
documents.
Az III O'Clock the requisition papers
were served and duly honored, and sulli-
van was given over TO the charge OF De-
tective Parker. The officer and his pris-
oner arrived at e:l3 IN.
largo crowd Of morbidley curious in
dividuals wero gathered at the depot to
SEQ the prisoner, as he proceeded to the
City Hall, guarded by Chief Child, Detec-
tives Swan and Murray, Officer O'Neil and
q number OF newspaper representatives
the crowd hustled and pushed in their
efforts to get view OF the man.
Yankee Dan" carried himself erect
and looked over the crowd calmly. He
was extremely thin and appeared nervous.
He was taken directly TO the police head
quarters az the City Hall, and was given a
substantial supper, pending his confine-
ment for the night. Later he was taken
to the central station, where he was
locked up and strong guard placed over
him.
bullivan was interviewed while at the
City Hall, and spoke at some length. II is
probably his intention 30 deny being In
the city on the night OF the murder, but
the State has many strong witnesses who
can swear to his identity, and who saw
him with Dalton and Hasweil.
Sullivan's previous statement to the de-
| tcctivo was that he had met Dalton on
tho afternoon OF the murder and had ac-
| companied him TO the old mans house in
East Providence, where they found Has
well and had the conversation about the
purchase OF the building lots ut Kettle
Point They then came to this city and
went to tho northern part, where Sulli-
van claims TO have separated from the
others. Ho also claims that he knew
nothing about tho murder, and states that
since leaving the two he has seen neither
of them.
However, both Sullivan and Dalton, or
mon resembling them, were seen near the
spot whore the deed took place by people
who can probably identify them, and
from the evidence already In the hands of
the police speedy conviction is antici-
pated.
During his conversation the talk turned
on the question of the penalty OF murder,
and Sullivan expressed the opinion that
were he to be given his choice between
hanging and life imprisonment he would
choose the former.
Early In the evening Sullivan sent a
dispatch TO his brother, Dennis Sullivan,
at ono time city solicitor OF Fall River,
asking him 10 como to this city at once.
His brother responded, and arrived this
morning.
Today Sullivan pleaded guilty, waived
examination and was held for the Grand
Jury without bail.
