CHICAGO, Oct. III. L. Leavitt, manager
Of the Standard Theater, of Sioux City,
has been indicted by the coroner's jury Of
that city for conspiracy and completely in
the murder of Rev. George c. Haddock, in
August last D. W. Wood, an attorney of
Sioux City, has been here for some time
doing detective work, and In consequence
of certain developments Leavitt gave him
selfup. He is fully acquainted with the
assassination plot in all its details, and,
while not knowing who actually did per-
form the deed, has knowledge of the party
to whom it was assigned for execu-
tion. He declines to talk fully, pending his
appearance in Court, but Wood says that
while he is not the murderer, he will make
important and startling disclosures.
Sioux. Cry, IA, Oct. THE news Of the
arrest Of H. L. Leavitt, in connection with
the Haddock assassins tion, created sensa-
tion here to-day. Leavitt is expected here
to morrow noon. The impression is that
he will seek to shield himself by telling
what he knows of the conspiracy. Fred
Munchrath jr., and Henry Sherman were
also arrested here this afternoon as par
ties to the conspiracy, and placed under
5000 bonds each. John Arensdorff, an
other of the party, was arrested in Daven-
port, Iowa, where he had gone to attend
the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias.
Quito q number of other warrants were
issued this evening, but names of parties
have not been made public.
