ALBANY, n. Y, June ia requisition
was presented to Governor Hill to-day from
Governor Fifer, of Illinois, for the surren-
der of John j. Maroney and Charles Nc
Donald, charged with the murder of DR..
Cronin. The Governor denied the applica-
ton, without prejudice to a renewal of tho
same. simply upon the grounds, first, that
the application was not accompanied by an
indictment second. that no proof whatever
was presented showing that the accused
are guilty of the crime charged against
them, as required by the laws of this and
all other States. The application was
based solely upon an affidavit made upon
affirmation and belief
CHICAGO, June 13.-The refusal of Gov
ernor Hill, of New York, to-day, TO grant
The application for the surrender of John
j. Maroney and Charles Mcdonald to the
Illinois officers, for completely in the Cronin
murder, has created quite a sensation In
official circles here. Governor HllPs chief
reason for refusal being that the applica-
ton was not accompanied by an indict-
ment, the States attorney will, tomorrow,
urge the grand jury to at once render par
tial report, finding an indictment against
Maroney and Mcdonald. As Luke Dillon,
Mrs Conklin and expressman Martinson all
testified to-day, the grand jury is already
in possession of all information at hand
which tends to show Maroney and McDon-
AIDS completely in the murder, and there is
nothing which prevents a report as TO the
two persons being returned at once.
