was dead. He was alive and was all

O’Sail!van'* Alibi.
The alibi of O’Sullivan engaged the
attention of the attorney to considerable
length. The testimony that created the
alibi was sifted until veiy little re¬
mained. The absurdity of the being story
told by the saloon Hylands about Sunday, their May in 5,

The motive of the great conspiracy
was the next theme for the orators elo¬

possibly be that the appointment of a
secret committee at the Meeting of Feb.

had not the members of that secret com¬

had bemoaned to the opening of old report,

be done to stop it. To this the district
officer replied that he could do nothing,

It was determined that the body must
not be found here. It would not do to

have been acknowledgment accusation against of the truth
