AFTER sULLIVAN's SCALP.
LOngenecker Determined to
Squeeze the National League.


CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE greatest ex-
element prevailed about the grand jury
room this morning. Witnesses came
and went, and officers were dispatched
here and there at the will of States At
torney Longenecker, who took up his
station next to Clerk Hamilton and di-
rected proceedings. 1t was evident from
all that transpired that the cOnsidera-
tion of great move was I'D progress.
All the witnesses taken before the grand
Jury were those whose testimony could
afford knowledge of the movements of
but one person, and from other equally
significant facts it was generally known
that the investigation related to an in
dividual whose name has been fire.
quently spoken of in connection with
the Cronin case. The first witness
brought before the jury was man
named Kelly. He is the mysterious per-
son who accompanied Chief Hubbard to
the states attorneys Office last evening.
About half an hour later Henry N.
StolIenberg, Stenographer in Windes &
Suilivan's office, was taken up stairs in
charge of all officer. and for some time
he was detained before the grand jury.
AS he came out he was questioned by
reporter.
Ibid you tell the grand jury anything OF
Importance"
II don't know that did did not tell
them anything but what they asked me-"
You may be sure did not tell them
much" said Windes, as he came out of the
jury room. 1.-THE fact is. did not know
anything they wanted to know, and accord
ingly was of no use TO them"
What did the grand jury want to known
"Oh. they asked me what | knew about
Graham and Stoltenberg. About Graham l
don't know anything, and the other young
man has worked for me. but / only know
him to be good fellow. have come here
this morning to see the young man and |
would like to know where he is, but can't
find him."
Jerry O'DOnnell, one of the men now
under indictment in the jury bribing
affair, was also brought before the
grand jury, but what he said, or whether
he said anything. is not known.
Throughout the entire morning there
was the greatest excitement throughout
the criminal court building. The grand
jury worked on the ''jury fixing"
branch of the CrOnin case in some
what desultory fashion. Whenever
witness in the case was brought in, all
other business was dropped and his
testimony occupied the attention of the
body. At o'clock the grand jury came
into court and handed up twelve indict-
ments, eleven of which were for every
day crimes. The twelfth was a joint
bill against Mark l.. SalOmOn. John
Smith, jeremiah O'DOnnell. Alexander
l.. Hanks and Joseph KOnen. All of
these men were already under indict-
ment for conspiracy to bribe jurymen
in the CrOnin case. This completed the
jurv's work for the day. Among the
witnesses before the jury during the
forenoon was Lawyer E. J. McArdle,
who has an office in the same building
as that of Windes K Sullivan. He was
asked whether he had ever heard Alex
ander Sullivan talk about the
MURDER OF DIR. CRONIN
or the jury-bribing conspiracy, and
that his answer to both questions was
NO" At an early hour this morning
Thomas Windes, the law partner of
Alexander Sullivan, haunted the corri-
dOrs of the criminal court building. As
he left the room he asked Mr.. Longe-
necker for an order to see StOltenberg.
The states attorney wrote something
on a card and the attorney went straight
TO Mr.. LOngenecker'S Office, where PO-
liceman Hutchinson challenged him and
inquired his business.
Windes.
well, you cannot see him." replied the
officer.
"Here, keep away from there, ''yelled
the policeman as Mr.. Windes started
toward the private Office of Mr.. Long
enecker, wherein Stoltenberg was con-
fined, but Mr.. Windes kept right on,
and was about to open the door. when
Capt. Schuettler'S arm grabbed him by
the coat collar. In the twinkling of an
eye Alexander Sullivan's partner was.
landed outside the office in a very un-i
dignified manner. In short time Mr.
Windes returned with an application
for writ of habeas corpus, asking for
StOltenberg'S release from custody.
The matter was set for hearing at 4
o'clock. In the meantime, however,
without Mr.. Windes' knowledge, Stolt-
enberg had been released. and when
this became known, the application was
withdrawn.

berg was released Internationally by
the states attorney this afternoon, thus
rendering the habeas corpus proceed
ings unnecessary. Bailitf Alexander p.
Hanks was released late this afternoon
on 5000 bail, being 5000 each of the
three indictments. Hanks manner as
he was brought into court was cool and
unconcerned. Shortly after 4 o'clock

Jeremiah ODOnnell, John Graham,
Joseph Konen and Thomas Kavanaugh.
No capias was necessary for Smith, who

ney is inclined to treat him leDiently.

Graham was brought in half an hour
later. but had better luck, for his bonds

after him. giving special bond for his
