The trial of John Sullivan, the man
accused of the butcher murder, was
resumed in the court room at Moncton.
Friday with the same large crowd in
attendance. The trial is proceeding
slowly. there being some rs or more
witnesses to be heard. and as the evil
dence is of decidedly conflicting kind,
the attorneys are having a hard time

got breakfast. for which he paid 25
cents. Not having enough change to

his sock. saying he had $500 in the
roll which ne kept there for fear some
one would rob him. Mccain said the
same man came back. Friday, saying
he had been robbed and wanted to
borrow money enough to take him to
the States. The following Sunday Sui
Ivan was captured near Calais and the
general impression seems to be that he
had been near Calais for over a week
previous to his arrest. On cross exam

Sullivan he saw. but when his wife was
put on the stand she said Il don't care
what my husband says about the pris-

Dan Sullivan, a brother of the accused
man, was put on the stand and gave
testimony directly opposite to that
which he gave at the preliminary hear
ing. On being taken back to Jail at
Dorchester Sullivan told the officer he
was prepared to put in defense that
