Of the murder. Several witnesses testified
as to seeing Sullivan in company with a
short man wearing a light ove1coat within
distance of twenty yards from where the
fatal shot was fired. This description
tallies with that of Crolly. Otto Hoppe. a
piano. player, gave some testimony which
was extremely eliminating with reference
to the prisoner, notwithstanding it lacked
directness. One witness testified that he
heard Crolly remark after the shooting
that his pistol went Off accidentally.
