 Calmly discussing the shooting in the office of Chief of Police Ben Taffee, Father Dillon said that he had foreseen this, and for some time had been prepared for such an ending to the long continued differences which he said existed between himself and the slain priest.

 The killing of Father O'Neill cul- minated what Rev. Dillon told police was "13 months of i'll treatment" dur 1 ing which he said Father O'Neill treated me like little boy, and as- sumed toward me an attitude of a i Czar."
 | Details by Murderer.
