McMillan aud Charles M. Phelps are charged with killing John Egan on July II, 1897, by administering to him a dose of morphine in a glass of beer on Main street this city. The three men were drinking in the place late at night, Egan became partly intoxicated and when in that condition, it is claimed that the defendants put the drug into the beer which Egan drank and soon thereafter became unconscious and while in that condition he was dragged into an alley way in the rear of the saloon, where early in the morning his lifeless body was found by the police. His pockets were rifled and the con- tents- - including his watch and chain Attorney Hall on Wednesday. The chief points in the answer are that Pratt was legally suspended by the Board of Police aud Fire Commissioners during four months of the five which he claims a salary and that for the other month, there was no such office as Chief of Police, it having been abolished by an ordinance of the City Council and that with its abolition all claims of Pratt to be the incumbent of that office vanished.
