he had a restless manner. He said there
was an accident to one of P. O'Sullivan's men; that he had been run
over by an ice wagon, and the Doctor said: 'Why didn't you get a
doctor near?' 'Doctor,' he said, 'here is O'Sullivan's card,' and
Dr. Cronin took it and laid it on the mantel in his own room, and
then wrote out a prescription for Sarah McNearney. Mrs. Conklin
described the man, the same as the McNearney girls, saying that he
had a low-crowned, narrow-brimmed hat, and that his face was dirty
as if it had not been shaven."

"They all agree upon this low-crowned hat with the narrow brim and
the condition of the man's face. The Doctor gathered up the cotton

or four at the Doctor's office, and two at the livery stable.
"Now suppose the horse was not identified at all; suppose it was a
bay horse or a brown horse or any other kind of a horse than a
white horse or a gray horse, and suppose these two men had come
that gave the same description of the man that appeared at Dinan's
livery stable, and other witnesses identified him as the man that
started away with the Doctor to treat one of O'Sullivan's men--keep
that circumstance in mind--that Patrick O'Sullivan and Dan Coughlin
were seen together on the night of the 24th of March, when Patrick
