In London.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 1.-THE Grand
Jury examined numerous witnesses in the
Cronin case this morning, but so far as
known no new evidence OF q startling ma
ture was adduced.
Edgar S. Patten. superintendent OF the
'-9ostal Telegraph Company, was again
called upon to enlighten the jury as to
the nature OF certain kilograms alleged to
have passed between prominent Clan-na-
Gael men in this city and New York par
ties about.the time Of the arrest OF Maroney
and Mcdonald. lie was on the stand for
nearly an hour and spread considerable
documentary matter before the jury, but
such few kilograms as appeared to have
any possible bearing upon the Cronin case
were either 80 indefinite or so enigmatical
as TO offer little clew TO their real signid-
canoe.
Mrs. Tom Whalen was subjected to a
severe. examination as to her knowledge Of
o'Sullivan's completely in the murder, but
she stubbornly maintained entire igno-
rance Of the affair. In emphatic terms she
denied having taken any part in cleaning
the Carlson cottage or removing blood
stains after the murder, and roundly de-
nounced the eliminating statements Of
Woodruff 5 latest confession.
James c. Quinn, the Clark street halter,
testified to the intimacy that existed be-
tween 0'Suiliyan, Coughlin and Whalen,
and as an evidence Of that intimacy cited
a quarrel that took place in Clark street
saloon between Coughlin, O'Sulivan
and Whalen on one side and man named
Roach on the other. Roach was badly
wors,ed and suffered severely from the re-
suit Of pugilistic contact with CUughin.
Capt Schuettler, OF the Chicago Avenue
Station, WIS up and down at frequent in
tervals, and furnished the jury with a
post-mortem photograph OF the murdered
man and Photographic views Of the Carl
son cottage, the catch basin and other points
and localities prominently connected with
the tragedy.
Harry Brown. the clerk and junior part.
ncr OF Alexander Sullivan, was on the
d. .iand for three-quarters OF an hour. To
Mr. Brown were repeated about the same
questions propounded on Saturday TO Mr..
Windcs, Mr.. sulliyan's partner. In It's
uuliupoIAulCc III. bIONu testimony
compared fully with that OF Mr.. Windes.
He testified that no shared Mr.. Sullivan's
confidence only in legal matters affecting
the regular business Of the firm. and that
be knew nothing Of the personal business
transactions Of tho Irish leader. lie was
unable 10 give the jury any information
In regard TO Sulliyan's Board OF Trade
speculations, and knew nothing OF the
atter's management OF Clan-na Gael or
other revolutionary funds The witness
was not acquainted with Coughlin, 0'Sul-
Ivan or Woodruff, and II there was any
intimacy between Coughlin, or any Of the
three, aud Mr.. Sullivan lac was not aware
of II. Mr.. Browns testimony was OF q
very negative character. but Il clearly cs-
,ablished one iact-that Mr.. Sulivan's
business relations rs lawyer and his re-
laiions as an Irish leader were ever dis.
tinct and separate, and that his duties in
the latter capacity were never allowed TO
interfere with or become merged ia the
business transactions OF the firm.
