NAN SOUGHT NOT THE VICTIM

PUxIcO. Mo. April John Sui
ilvan. "A well-to-do farmer Of stod-
dard county. was killed wednesday
night by white caps. and today DIV
er Logan. William Burg. Neb. Stew
art. and Taylor Hicks was arrested.
Each OF the four has confessed that
he was with the party of white caps
that shot Sullivan 10 death.
Sullivan was killed at his home at
Hatcher's Switch, two miles east.
His body, when found. was riddled
with bullets OF all kinds and caliber.
Indicating that many besides the
men under arrest had assisted In his
murder.
Suspicion early rested on the four
men who were later taken into Gus
tody, all Of whom are well known
throughout the county. No cause
for the white Gaping has, 80 far, APP
peared TO the public, and each OF
the confessed sIayers decline TO make
a statement Of any kind. Nothing
tangible regarding tine shocking
tragedy appears. There is a vague
story afioat that the white caps mis-
took Sullivan for another man whom
they sought, but the identity Of this
man and the cause for the effort 10
kill him are as indefinite and mys-
FERROUS as In the case OF the real
victim.
