Gave Damaging Testimony.

Tip Beleher the bartender at the Ju-
blee saloon. and his wife, Mrs. Sadie
Belcher, yesterday gave strong testimony
for the prosecution. admitting that they
turned upon Sullivan ing the hope of saw
ing themselves. OF all the witnesses
drawn from the shady walks of life. and
whose sympathies might reasonably be
supposed TO be with the accused man,
only one gave testimony favorable to Sui
Ivan. This witness was James McGivern,
a bartender at the Continental saloon
who stated that when Sullivan met Garcia
in his place. he said that he was in
hurry to catch a train on which to leave
Salt Lake.
Mrs Belcher made a startling addition
to her original story. She said that
Sullivan, Garcia. owen and Doc" Glib
son were in her room in the old KimbaH
house I'm North Main street after mid
night on the morning of Def. IA. All
went away. y Nearly two hours later she
said, Garcia and Sullivan returned. She
said that she walked down town with
Garcia to get some beer. He waited on
the corner of First South and Main street
while she went into a saloon for the
liquor. At that tine every policeman in
Salt Lake was searching for the Ford
murderer and Garcia must have been
passed and repassed by hurrying blue
coats.
When the court opened yesterday morn

He stated that Sullivan had planned the

the law inflicted for his crimes He
is guilty, and he has confessed his
