ARREST OF ALEXANDER SULLIVAN.
Just as soon as the verdict had been read, Foreman Critchell called the State's Attorney and Coroner inside the latter's private room for a consultation. A moment later they were joined by Police Captain Schuettler and Detectives Palmer, Amstein, Miller, Broderick, Schifter, McDonald, Williams and Hedrick. It was decided that the arrest of Alexander Sullivan should be effected without delay, notwithstanding the late hour, and the Coroner, having made out his mittimus, entrusted it to Detective Palmer. The latter selected as his assistants Detectives Williams and Broderick, and the trio entered a carriage. Well on toward midnight the elegant residence of the ex-President of the Land League, at 378 Oak street, on the North side of the city, was reached.
ALEXANDER SULLIVAN'S RESIDENCE.
Palmer was the first to alight.
He rapidly ascended the steps and rang the bell. Henry Brown, Mr. Sullivan's clerk, opened the door.
"Is Mr. Sullivan at home?" inquired Officer Palmer.
"He is," said Brown.
"I want to see him," said Officer Palmer, as he entered.
Brown closed the door. Fearing some scheme to give Sullivan a chance to escape, Palmer at once gave instructions to Williams to go to the rear of the house, and the officer ran back to the alley.
