CHICAGO, June 10.-The police are very close
to the man who murdered DR.. Cronin. Capt
Schleutter admitted this much last night and
Chief Hubbard confirmed the statement. From
the clues that have been furnished them they
have marked out a web of circumstantial evil
dence which will sooner or later ensnare every
principal in the tragedy. They believe they
are close on the heels OF the man who hired
the Carlson cottage and the fiat at liz south
Clark street. They are also IN possession of
names OF
THE CLAN-NA-GAEL MEN
who have been pointed out on every side as
the ones who found Dr. Cronin guilty of the
false charge of being a British spy and then
sentenced him to be removed for his al
legged infamy. A good many of the names
have already been published. Some of the
suspects have already appeared before the cor
oner's jury as witnesses Captain Schleuter
said last night that if his officers could locate
certain man he would make several arrests
before daylight
WHAT LUXE DILLON SAYS.
Directly after the receipt of important infor-
nation by wire, at 9 o'clock last evening Mrs
Luke Dillon, secretary of the Clan ma Gael ex-
ecutive, said:
We will have the murderers of Dr. Cronin
before two weeks have gone by, just sure as
/ sit here"
Mr.. Dillon indicated that his detectives in an
eastern city are all within reach of the foul
murderer, and that his arrest will probably be
the event Of the next forty-eight hours, though
II may be the matter of two weeks.
THE MURDERERs CANNOT ESCAPE"
went on Mr.. Dillon There are $1,000 loyal
members of the United Brotherhood in this
countryside 900 men who will act under my in
structions and who are alert and resolved to
he
cape. We are employing the most acute de-
tectlves III the country, and our agents are at
work in every city in the United States
What do You think of Patrick Egan's con-
nection with this casel"
EGAN HAD NO GUILTY CONNECTION.
Il am satisfied that he has no guilty connec-
tion with it. The only way see he is brought
into it is by the explanation of Lawyer Trude
for Alexander Sullivan. in which he saws that
the 100000 deposited at the Traders bank
was given him N trust by Egan."
Continuing, Mr.. Dillon expressed the belief
that Mr. Egan did not give the money TO Sulli-
van. but that the 100000 was stolen from the
funds of the United Brotherhood.
Mr.. Dillon said that nothing needed to be
more clearly proven to the world than that the
United Brotherhood, as society, was in no
wise responsible for the great crime.
The crime was planned by an able villain
and If any of the instruments in its doing
thouSnt tney were serving the society they
were deceived"
BEGGs EXPELLED FROM CAMP No. 20.
John f. Beggs, the senior guardian of Camp
Sc, now called Camp 20, of tie U. B., the friend
of Alexander Sullivan and the comrade of
Lawrence Buckley in the journey east about
the time OF DIR. Cronins murder, was expelled
nom his camp Friday night. Since Dr.
Cronins murder there has been no regular
meeting OF the camp. Beggs. as sen ior
guardian, has pretended to call the camp to-
gether, though he never summoned any one
except his friends; A majority of the mem
bers Of the camp held a meeting Friday night
In one OF the rooms Of the north side Turner
hall and In the most formal manner, after COM
plying with all the rules of the order govern
ing expulsion, expelled Beggs from the camp.
AT a meeting of the Irish-American Repubii-
can club Saturday night Beggs was removed
from the presidency of the club and expelled
from membership.

that my late visit to that city was for the pur-
pose OF having the President recall Patrick
