Chicago. a letter announcing his arrival
was received here by prominent geutle-
man, in which the. latter was asked as to
the standing of the man. A reply was
sent 10 Chicago to the effect that the fellow
was considered harmless and that no atten-
ton should be paid to him. That man,
whose name the leaders refuse to divulge,
has not returned here, and they have not
found trace of him. His description,
with his name, has been sent to Chicsgo.
DR.. Cronip's remains will be taken to-
morrow to one of the large public halls on
the lake front, where all who desires may
gaze on the ghastly corpse.
On Sunday there will be a street process
sion from the hall to the Cathedral. After
the services the remains will be taken by
train to the Calvary Cemetery. Fifty cents
will be charged each person going to the
cemetery, an amount, il is estimated, will net
the Committee of Arrangements thirty-fve
cents for each fare. The sum thus raised,
it is announced, will be devoted to the dis
covery and prosecution of the Doctors
murderers.
TELL-TALE KEY.
In the vacant cottage where the blood
stains were discovered. and the place which
the police had already decided was the
scene of the murder of DR.. Cronin, there
was found by detective tonight brand
new key. The officers decided at once to try
it on the lock of the mysterious trunk found
by the roadside the morning after Cronin
disappeared. The key fitted exactly, and
all doubt now about the genuine connec-
ton between prisoner Woodruff and the
doctors dead body, the trunk and the
blood-stained cottage, has been put beyond
question.
THE FINDING OF A BRUSH.
Tho Carlson onttoua baS Iaa,,
ransacked. A new brush, such as paint
ers ordinarily use in coarse work, was
found in the attic. Its hairs were smeared
with paint similar to that With which the
blood stains had been partly obli,erated.
In the attic was also found pot contain
ing a quantity of the same sort of paint
Indications were that the painting had
been done some time after the killing, pos
sibly involving the return to the house by
the murderers or their accomplices.
The son-in. law of old man Carlson to-
night said the cottage was rented in March,
and the rent paid in advance. The man
who brought the bed bureau and some rugs
to the house told Mrs. Carlson that his
SISTER WAS II. THE HOSPITAL
Sick. and that before moving in he would
wait until she was able to leave that insti-
tuition. Afterwards he came back with an
OlutI lldl anu lley informed tDe ORrlSODS
they were brothers, and that their names
was Williams. When the month was up
on the Goth of April, they came around
and paid another months rent, saying
their sister was still sick.
The old folks became suspicious after
this, and determined there was something
wrong and decided not to let the men have
the house after this month. A singular
thing is, that last Thursday another man,
who had not been seen before came to the
house 10 pay the third months rent. Mrs.
Carlson refused to re-rent the house, say
ing they proposed TO sell it. The man said
he would return the next day to take the
furniture away. He did not come, and it is
in the house yet.
OTHER REASONS FOR THE MURDER.
The evidence of embezzlement by prom
! inent officers of the Clan Ma Gael, said to
have been in the possession of DR.. Cronin,
may not have been nearly as potent factor
in bringing about his death as the evidence
of other offenses. which it is now claimed,
DR.. Cronin had also in his possession.
1t Is stated that within the past few years
at least twelve persons have been sent from
this country to England charged with the
performance of duties in connection with
the Union Brotherhood which would
jeopardtze their lives. Michael Lomasnev,
VINO lost ms life while about to blow up
the London bridge, was one of these
twelve. 1t is claimed that Cronin had evil
dence tending to show that three of the
Directors of this Brotherhood, namely
Alexander Sullivan, Michael Boland and
Denis O'Feehy, had impaired certain in
formation to the Scotland Yard detectives,
which led TO the arrest of many of these
twelve as soon as they touched British soil,
and they are
NOW LYING IN BRITISH DUNGEONS.
DIR. Cronin was engaged in endeavoring
to substantiate this charge against the
United Brotherhood officers, and, it is al
legged, had made substantial progress.
DR.. Cronin's private papers are not ac-
cessible, but it has been learned that he
has possession of an affidavit made by
prominent Irish American interested in
! certain disclosures, which says that Dr.
| Cronin must be removed The maker of
this affidavit will probably be arrested to-
morrow.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR cRoNINs FUNERAL
Are being made on an extensive scale. All
| the Catholic and Irish organizations will
be represented by thousands in line 1t is
estimated that fully % ,0o0 people will at
| tend the funeral. Extra trains will be run
| and fee of fifty cents will be charged for
each passenger. The latest theory in con-
| nection with the murder is that the crime
was committed by foreigners who came
