ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
a Sailor on the Matilda Accused
of Foul Play.


Patrick Connolly, a sailor on
board the bark Matilda, was locked
up on Saturday on a charge Of
murder. Readers Of the ADvER-
r1sER will remember that on the
night of February 22d a sailor
named Alfred Stevens lost his life
by falling off the vessel named
while she was moored at wharf.
In falling he struck the f1uke of an
anchor, and his body did not come
to the surface of the water.
Previous to the fall he and an
other sailor named Fred Godfrey
had been fighting and Connolly
was mixed up in the quarrel in
some manner. Finally the three
men met in the forward part of the
vessel and during the quarrel
Stevens fell or was showed over
board. The next day the body
was recovered and an inquest was
held. The coroner's jury brought
in a verdict Of accidental drown
ing.
Since that time and during the
vessels present stay in port the
police have secured evidence
which points to foul play and the
arrest of Connolly followed.
