City police revealed today that 37 year old Frank Suskic, Harwood miner held for the fatal slabbing of his brother-in-law, John Graham, aged 32, of 9 Hemlock street, West HazlcUn, was betrayed by his dog when he hid in the wood as the state and city police combed the brush in the dark after the fatal affray last Monday night.

Suckie vanished after the stabbing and inquiry among the Harwood people showed that he had a favorite pot in the woods where he liked to linger. The city police car's spotlight was used at. this point and in the white beam stood Suskic dog, "on guard." The light wa switched off, the ear driven to where other men were picked up and then the swoop was made that netted the custody of the wanted man. He hugged the earth so closely he was almost mksed. The police noticed seme dark object on the ground under ome brush and closer examination showed Suskie face downward, with his dark clothes presenting such an appearance that a passerby would never have noticed him.

The police, said that the stories from witnesses are to the effect that Graham and h'm brother-in-law clashed and Graham got the best of the tussle and got Suskie down. He was on top of Suskie, the police said, when Suskie ripped upwardly with his pocket knife, the blade entering the left side of the chest. One witness is William Graham, aged 22, brother of the slain man. He was with the party when the stabbing took place. The grand jury meets next Monday and the Suskie ewe is listed among the first to be aired.
