PROSECUTOR LIKELY
TO FREE O'DONNELL
District Attorney Convinced
He Did Not Kill Miss RiddeH.

Unless evidence more substantial than
his own confession to indicate the guilt
OF Patrick O'Donnell for the murder OF
Mary Rlddell in Richmond Hill last
Wednesday is found. District Attorney
OLeary Of Queens will consent TO his
discharge when he Is nrraisned before
a magistrate tomorrow.
Six witnesses, all fellow employees at
the Waterman pen factory, but none OF
them specially interested In him, have
80 far substantiated the story OF O'Don-
nell's wife that he was at work In the
factory at the time Miss Riddeil was
killed. They have made detailed state
ments TO the police and Mr.. OLeary
went all over the statements yesterday.
Ho said last night:
1T have consulted to-day with the de-
tectives who have been looking up
O'Donnells record. as well as his where
abouts on the night OF the murder. and
from what they tell me they have found
and positively verified. 1t would have
been impossible for this man TO have
been in Richmond Hill on the night OF
the murder. I am OF the belief now that
he was at work In the factory at the
hour Of the murder"
Mr.. O'Leary has not yet talked with
a new witness. interviewed by detectives
yesterday. who says O'Donnell was
neither Mt his factory work nor In Rich
mond Hill when Miss Riddell was killed.
but at a saloon in Lexington avenue near
Twenty-sixth street
Patrick Flood. son of the owner of the
saloon. told the detectives yesterday that
he was behind the bar at 1:15 last
Wednesday evening. which is supposed
TO be about the time Miss Riddell was
killed. and that O'Donnell came into the
l. -NaNw 10
time because he was setting the clock
on the cash register when O'Donnell In
terrupted him. Mr.. OLeary will have
a talk with Flood to-day.
DR.. Edward j. McGoldrick, In charge
OF O'Donnell at the Queens county jail,
reported O'Donnell greatly improved yes

the village Immediately started out
and found the wrecked buggy first

out of the carriage. 1t is also pos
sible that he might have had a

that this frightened the horse.

well known business men of the town
being in the retail business with his
brother in a general store under the
firm name of Cuthbertson Brothers.
