CHICAGO, June 1.-The same air oI mystery surrounds the latest arrest in the Crontn murder case that has been thrown about every movement of the police since they began to unravel the mystery of the bloody trunk found at Lake View.
 Thomas Mack. alias MoWilliams, has oeen taken in custody and Is now closely guarded at the central station.
 He told the detectives that he knew wno the men were who occupied the Carlston cottage. in which the murder was committed oh May 4.
 This he had learned from conversa- t1on overheard in which a woman whose name he gave said che was going to live at the cottage with her two brothers. These are supposed to be the murderers.
 The woman is already being shadowed ana the brothers are known to be in the vicinity.
 He was arrested in cheap lodging house on the west eide and made desperate attempt to escape when he found the de- tectives were looking for him.
 Detective Dan Coughlin, Ice Dealer P. O. Sullivan and Frank Black were ar- raigned before Judge Williamson in the circuit court yesterday. They were met by the indictments charging them with OI.
 They. pleaded not guilty and were re- manded.
 Two more arrests in the Cronin case were made late last night.
 ,u, Ihomes Murphy and man named Wilson were looked up on suspicion of having been connected with the murder. The police, beyond stating this. refuse to say anything about the arrests
 At conference last night between At 1y,fh of M Chief Hubbard and Mayor Cregier, At torney Mills, who has been retained by Cronin's friends, gave the result of his examination of Cronin's private papers, Among them were @ number of threat en1ng letters. One was signed, ''The Committe of Seven of the M. B." A letter written in red ink warns the doe manding immediate retraction against certain members of the Clan Gael and threatening him with the same fate that has overtaken every enemy of the cause.
 Murphy, who was arrested last night, Is known to have been an enemy of pr. Cronin. He is the father of Annie Mur- pny, who claimed to have seen Dr. Cro- min in North Side car on the night he was murdered
 NEW YORK, June 1.-The feeling among New York Irishmen that the murder of Dr. Cronin was only one of series planned to take place at or about the same time deepens from day to day.
 Prominent Nationalists here say un- hesitatingly that certainly more than one New Yorker was marked out for slaughter, and that the end Is not vet. The murderers of Cronin have some frtnds here who. 1t Is said, are mutterins threats of vengeance against certain men for exposure" of "secrets," which in reality have been i'll full possession of the British government for years, and 1t Is understood that the police haye been placed on the alert. More definite in- formation than that it Is impossible to get, but the character of the men who give 1t Is guarantee for It's authenticity
 The most startling piece of news now furnished relates directly to the Clan-na- Gael camp known in the order as No. 96 and to the world as the Columbia club. It Is the camp of which Daniel Coughlin, the detective, and P. G. Sullivan, the iceman, were members. Since Dr. Cronln disappeared 96 has been disbanded and two new camps have been organized by it's old members. Energy Is bent upon finding out what the Colum- bia club did one certain February night when trial committee was elected and Dan Coughlan counted the ballots. This meeting, it is alleged, decided the fate of Dr. Cronin. Whether the ballots were correctly counted Is not known, for Cough Ian canvassed them alone in an ante room.
