Such conduct strikes the Populist
as immoral" Eh, PETER?

tie murder and told IN detail how the
crime was committed. He said that he
made the trip to the Ross home, made
a noise at the door and when Ross
cone to the door shot him twice. Fol-
loving his victim indoors, he fired four
seots and death was the result. He

FITz VISITS SULLIVAN.
Australian Visits John T. in His Sick
Room at Boston.

Boston, April 1.-Two former cham
pions OF the prize ring met here. The
once mighty gladiator, John L. Suul
van, fighting off the raVages of disease
with the courage that won his renown
in the ring. was visited by Bob Fitz-
simmons. the man who whipped the
man who whipped Sullivan, James J.
Corbett.
The scared but strong face of the
great John l., adorned with a flowing
white mustache and his head covered
with gray hair that is just becoming
white. turned as he heard Fitzsin-
mons voice, and it was with effort
that the former tightly warrior lifted
himself to his elbow and grasped- the
hand of the equally, great Fitzsinl-
mons.
Neither spoke for what seemed to be
a full minute. Then John L. raised his
eyes, protected from the daylight by
blue goggles, and said: '-Hello, Bob
Hello, John; how are you feeling ?"
replied Fitzsimmons, and they shook
hands cordially.
For more than an hour they talked
over old days Of the prize ring. Fitz-
simmons volunteered his services at
the benefit which is being planned for
John L.
