SHRoUDED In MYSTERY


A mysterious stabbiug ARRAY which may
develop into a murder occurred at the
Washington Brewery this afternoon The
victim was Timothy Sullivan. employed
as q driver at the brewery. He was found
by two employees of the establishment
Charles Green and Ben weftman--on the
noor Of the wash room in an unconscious
condition and suffering from shock and
loss Of blood. There were three stab
wounds in his right side and one in the
left chest near the heart.
No time was lost in conveying him to
the Casualty Hospital. where his wounds
were dressed, but he did not regain con-
seriousness. and there was only a small
clue to his assailant Sullivan has q wife
and one child. His wife was notified at
their home. 243 X street northeast, and
was with him soon after he was taken to
the hospital
The nearest that It has been possible 10
come to the truth of the affair was that
Arthur Tabhs, colored helper employed
about the brewery. was seen shortly before
the discovery running from the part of the
building where Sullivan was found He
wore dark SLOUGH hat, which he dropped
In his flight and did not stop to recover.
Tabbs is one of the newer employees of the
concern, and 1t Is said has been of quar-
relsome disposition. He has been In trout
bic with several of the men around the yard
and has made threats against them. His
flight and the fact that he was coming
from the direction in which Sullivan was
found gives color to the belief that he was
Sulivans assailant
Nothing is known OF any cause of trouble,
and Sullivan had not recovered conscious
ness at late hour so 1t was impossible
to learn anything from him about the row.
Warning was sent out to the precincts to
be on the lookout for Tabs, and his hat
was turned over to the police as the only
piece of tangible evidence in the case.
Detectives Hartlgan and Baur were de-
tailed on the case. and they were joined
man Berrens.E' Up to this afternoon Tabs
had not been arrested.
