To few intimate friends they dis
closed the fact that they were camping
on the trail OF the Pomham club, whose
headquarters are down the riverS and
are reputed to set up the best clam dinner
in the state.
The six advance guards awoke early
this morning after sweet dreams Of
clans innumerable and clans multi
form, and after a slight repast, to blunt
but hot subdue their hunger,
they marched to the depot
where the de egation soon arrived. After
started down the river to the camp Of the
Pomham club which surrendered with
out blow and set out the best in the
larder.
The banquet began early and at last
accounts the famished solons were still
engaged in the pleasant task OF reducing
the supply Of Rhode Island clans.

This is the most valuable infor natl on
that DR. Dolan has yet given the police
IL proved almost conclusvely that the
assailant must have been marked by
blood spots either directly from the
wounds or from the weapon.
IL so they would have been readily
visible and noticeable on a light blue
dress. IL Lizzie wore the light blue
dress as described bv Mrs. Churchill no
one saw any spots on it.
III she wore the dark blue dress, Pro-
fessor Wood has failed to discover any
spots on that. Tie result is obvious.
Lizzie could not have committed the
murders. Another nail was driven in
the collin OF the prosecution. The point
came home to the prosecution.
Mr.. knowlton rose and walked nerv-
ously around the bar enclosure.

Even the Court Had to Laugh.

The most amusing case that has come
before the sixth district court for several
months was tried this morning. 1t was
the case against Peter O'Sullivan,

O'Sullivan, and two officers testified
to purchasing liquor OF him at the place,
AZ Eiswell street.
O'Sullivan's counsel, Lawyer Cos

the testimony for the government had
been completed. when he placed his
client on the stand, and then the fun
com menced.

ludicrous aspect OF the occasion dawned
upon them.

counterpart of the defendant and even
the honorable court had to join in the
general outburst of laughter that greeted

was he whom the officers should have
arrested aud chat his brother was inno-
