THE ORIGINAL TELEGRAM
Another handwriting identification mat
ter is being looked up Officer Broderick
succeeded In getting the original of the
| telegram sent TO BarTister Hough at Win
nipeg last August The handwriting is
Identical with that of Henry NJ Stolten-
berg and the Identification serves to bring
him further into the case. Stoltenberg,
however, keeps a stiff upper lip" as he
says, and intimates that he will have no
| difficulty in getting the best of the
chumps," as he pleasantly calls the States
| Attorney and his assistants
TWO WOMEN IN CUSTODY.
few minutes after o'clock Friday
| evening Detective Palmer in company
with two women, walked quietly into she
| Central station and disappeared in the off,
| GERS room One of the women was middle
aged, the other young, while both were
well dressed and intelligent looking
Palmer when seen later was not inclined
| 20 say much about the women except that
| be wished TO talk 70 them
From other sources 1t was learned that
the women were taken into custody be-
/ cause OF what they are supposed to know
about the Cronn case.
NOT GOOD JURY.
No further witnesses will be produced
| before the present grand Jury in the Cronin
case. There is good reason why there
should not be. grand juror is reported
| to have visited bailiff after the
adjournment Of the Cronin investiga-
| ton Tuesday. The latter was seen
half an hour later in communication
| with the chief tTiangler. a detective
from the Central station noted the facts and
( reported TO the States Attorney, who con-
cluded that the present grand jury is not
the best one that can be obtained The
presentation of the case of perjury against
young Stoltenbsrg Will await the summon
| ing OF a special grand jury.
