Sturgs Deputy Doughty resulted in
no further developments following the
arrest early yesterday morning Of John
w. Sullivan, well-known Portland
man.
1t is known, however, that the mat
ter will not be allowed to rest there.
At least one of those whose names
have been connected with the case
has left town, and there are others
who are pretty certain to be gathered
in as socn as the officers are little
surcr Of their ground.
The arrest Of Mr.. Sullivan was the
result of Investigations made by the
county authorities and Chief of Police
! Dresser. ami it is supposed the States
case depends upon statements made
by Deputy Doughty.
1t is understood that when Mr..
Doughty was first confronted with the
respondent nc would not say positively
that he recognized him as one of those
in the crowd who attacked but that
| subsequently he expressed himself as
being little more positive.
Following his arrest Mr.. Sullivan
was brOught before Judge Hill to an
swer TO the complaint which charged
assault.
Sullivan was not arraigned but was
released under bonds of $1,000 for his

and county officials relative to the as
