Immediately upon the verdict being rem
dcred Deputy Sheriffs Palmer, Broderick
and Williams drove in a carriage - the
residence OF Alexander Sullivan on Oak
street, in the north division. Even yester-
day the GOODNESS which has characterized
The noted Nationalist from the opening of
the investigation remained with him.
Although the jury had returned before he

well that his arrest was inevitable before
morning, he was in bed and sound asleep
when the deputies arrived.
They had expected to find hlm awaiting
them and surrounded by his friends. In
stead of this his law clerk, Henry Brown,
and the domestics were the only occupants
of the house. He responded with alacrity
to the summons and in few minutes was
up and dressed. He said nothing when the
warrant was read, but with self-p possessed
smile accompanied the officers to the car
riage. The party was rapidly driven to the
county Jail wher,, after the usual formalties
had been gone through, Sullivan was placed
in cell on the ground floor near where the
Anarchists were incarcerated.
CHICAGO, June 13.-Master Wyndes, Of
counsel for Alexander Sullivan, made ap
plication yesterday afternoon for writ Of
habeas corpus. Judge Tuley issued the
writ returnable at four o'clock, and within
son minutes the paper was served on Sheriff
Matson. When Alexander Sullivan ap-
peared in the court room shortly after four
o'clock and made dignified bow to the
bench he was as cool as cucumber. At
the outset States Attorney Longenecker
filed demurrer to the proceedings on the
ground that the evidence against Sullivan
had not been incorporated in the petition
for the writ of habeao corpus, but it was
soon developed that the opinion he cited in
support of his position had been rendered
years before the enactment of the present
habeas corpus act.
Stirring arguments in behalf of Sullivan's
admission to bail were then made by A. 8.
Trude and ex-Senators Gilbert and Duncan.
They held that there was not jot or title
in the evidence presented at the inquest
that justified the deprivation of Sullivan of
his liberty; that a dog would not be judged
on the mass of gossip and suspicion that
went to make up the case against him, and
that the verdict of the jury lacked coherency
or definite character.
In replying the States Attorney admitted
that the case against Sullivan was not so
strong as against some of the other prison
ers but objected to action being taken while
the grand jury was considering the case.
Judge Tuley reviewed the situation at
length, and said he would render decision
on Friday morning.
The special grand jury selected by Sheriff
Matson in obedience to the mandate of Judge
Shepard to investigate the Cronin trag-
edy, were impaneled in the criminal court
at eleven o'clock yesterday morning There
are only two Irishmen on the panel, w. j.
Quan and John O'Niell. Mr.. Quan is the
well-lSnown wholesale grocer, and Mr..
O'Niell is the ex-county commissioner. The
grand jury was in session for three hours
during the afternoon, and listened to repe-
tition of some of the testimony given at the
coroner's inquest.
A dispatch from New York states that
both Maroney and Mcdonald, who were
arrested on Tuesday, earnestly deny any
connection with TIA Cronin murder. Ma
roney is especially emphatic in his denial,
according TO Inspector Byrnes, and wishes
to be taken TO Chicago at once in order to
prove his innocence of the charge against
him. He asserts that he will not contest his
extradition to Illinois in any way. He is
very bitter against Luke Dillon, at whose
door he lays the instigation leading to his
arrest. It is said that Maroney is anxious
to make a statement for publication, but In
terviewed Mcdonald is said to be very
nervous and not inclined to discuss the mat
ter of his arrest with any person, fearing
that he may say something which might be
used against him, but he stoutly continues
to deny any direct knowledge of the crime.
Hatfield the furniture salesman, is al
most positive that the photograph of Moro
ney, under arrest in New York, is that of
the man to whom he sold the goods found in
the Carlson cottage, while the expressman
is absolutely sure that it was Moroney that
hired his wagon and carried the articles into
the cottage. The Chicago detectives with
requisition papers will reach New York to
night.
CHICAGO, June 14.-The grand jury in the
Cronin case heard the testimony of large
number of witnesses yesterday, all of whom
had given evidence before the coroner's
jury. 1t is not thought probable that the
body will be ready to consider the indict-
ments until the middle of next week.
Alexander Sullivan remained quietly in
his cell all day yesterday, refusing to see
visitors. He will be taken to the court at
ten o'clock this morning, when Judge Tuley
will render his decision on the question of
him to bail.
The refusal of Governor Hill, of New
York, yesterday to grant the application for
the surrender OF John j. Maroney and
Charles Mcdonald to Illinois officers for
in the Cronin murder, has
created quite sensation in official cir
cles here. Governor Hills chief reason
for refusal being that the application was
not accompanied by an indictment, the
States Attorney will tomorrow urge
the grand jury to at once render partial
