The Sullivan Case.

The trial of John Sullivan came up in
the Superior Court, Wednesday morn
ing, the entire day being taken up in
securing a jury. Thursday morning the
case was taken up OH the special plea
of Atty. Vaughan that Sullivan was in
sane at the time he shot his father-in-
law, VIM. Moore. The entire day was
taken up with the examination of the
prisoner, Attorney Vaughan drawing
ont the whole story of Suilivan's mar
ried life. 1t is expected that if the de-
ferse loses on the special plea, hard
fight will be made on the merits of the
case. The attorney fer the defense, i'll
his opening statement to the jury went
over the whole ground that their testi-
mony WAS TO cover, and stated that the
evidence would show that Sullivan had
for years taken care of the Moore
family, and that the troubles he had
through them had driven him insane.
The case was continued to-day.

sions perhaps ever produced by the

rarely ever heard in grand opera, which
it really is, will be sung by what a we'll

Work of a Brute.

The East End was thrown into fever
of excitement Tuesday afternoon about
O'Clock, when it was announced on
the street that the house of r.John A.
Johnson, on Stinson avenue, near 2lst,
had been entered by bold negro rob-
Der who had severely beaten and
assaulted Miss Augusta Johnson, who
was al home alone that afternoon. She
was out at the barn, having gone there
to get hoe, when the negro accosted
her. He grabbed the hoe from her,
struck her on the head, knocking her
unconscious. He tied her up in the
barn and gagged ner with pieces of
cloth torn from her dress.
The fend then went to the house to
look for plumber, but found little. Be-
fore the girl could free herself and get
to the nearest house, couple of blocks
away, he had escaped.
The police were notified and search
at once started, but nothing definite
could be ascertained as to his where
abouts Several boys reported that they
had seen such a man, some seeing him
on Bardon avenue and others near
South Superior. 1t was SAID that he
had been seen in Itasca between Sand
9 Tuesday evening, but it seems that
that was a mistake.
Sheriff Snyder had wired a descrip-
ton to all places IN this vicinity as far
as ST. Paul, in which direction it was
supposed that he had gone. Some train
men coming in Wednesday morning
! said that they had seen such man
| at Superior Junction, and that they had
chased him away from the train and off
into the woods.
A fairly good description of the negro
is given. He was about five feet seven
inches tall, rather slender, wore shah
by suit of dark clothes. had on brown
| derby bat and red pointed shoes. His
complexion is rather light for a negro.
| He was about % years old.
The citizens. particularly at the East
| End, are very much wrought up over
| the affair, and there was even talk of a
| lynching if the brute was caught.
