He said he was with them until late the last night O'Sullivan was in Tucson; that sev- eral times during their conversation O'Sullivan took a phial of strychnine out of his pocket and nervously held it up. He said that he believed that O'Sullivan had fully determined com hitting suicide, as his actions and conversation during the day indicated it. That same day O'Sullivan went down to Benson, returning that after noon It is believed that he intended to commit suicide at Benson, but for some reason his nerve failed him and he returned to Tucson.
 LOST CASH AND BLOOD-Ignacio Alveraz last night fell in with compan- ions who got all of his money and came near getting his life Just when he had his trouble. he was too drunk last evening to tell the police but several persons had seen him early in the eve ming making the rounds of the saloons in the southeastern part of the city. It was about II o'clock when he wan dered into the Manila saloon without money and with blood running from a gash in his cheek. Constable Troops was notified and he at once began an investigation. Alveraz was taken to the court house, where the county phy- sician took several stitches in his wound. Later in the night an arrest was made of a man who is supposed to have been one of his companions of the early evening" The theory that Alveraz was robbed is backed up by the fact that he was in the tenderloin district about half an hour before he fell into the Manila saloon and at that time he had a good sized roll of bills. He had for several weeks been work ing with one of the railroad grading gangs. An effort will be made today to locate his people for his wound is such that it will need some care fo1 several weeks or blood poisoning may result.
