CHICAGO, NJ Msy 29.--There have been no
new deyelopm ents in the Cropip case to
day of a startling nature. The au,hori-
ties say that the report of the proceedings
before the grand jury as printed In the
morning papers and chat portion which
was used in these dispatches was greatly

such testimony as that accredited TO Carl

talk further about his confession, saying
that he had said too much ulready. Cough
