Against the states Attorucy-Hc
Claims the Official Attempted to
Iutlmidate Him and Force
Him to PeJure Himself

CHICAGO, July 15,-A somewhat sen.
sational move was made in the Oronin
case to-day, John +, Beggs, tho i'm,
prisoned senior guardian Of Camp 20,
Clan'Na'Gael, filed a new petition for a
writ OF habeas corpus, giving as q rea-
son why he should be set at liberty that
he has been Jailed and indicted solely in
the hope that he would thus be forced to
turn States evidence. The testimony
expected OF him, hesays, has no founda-
ton in fact.
BegGs, in his petition, further says
that while he was illegally imprisoned
and seCreted from hisiriends Immediate
ly preceding his indictment, he wa
taken before the States Attorney who
tried to induce him to make certain
statements, the facts so desired not be-
ing within the knowledge Is Beggs, and
that In conversation the States Attor.
ney said In substance;
by the newspapers you are con-
demned already. The only way, or the
best way out OF it for you is 10 stand
with us" meaning thereby to stand with
the prosecution, and further stating in
the conversation: "If you will accept en-
ployment from us We will pay yon for
It" to which Beggs responded in sub
stance: "lf you mean by "stand with
you" that shall give you testimony by
which any person or persons might Ee
convicted OF the murder OF DR.. CroniD,
! cannot accept your employment for
the reason that have no facts which
would tend TO convict or even cast sus-
picion upon any person OF causing tho
death OF Cronin,
Soon after che conversation with tho
states attorney, the indictment against
Beggs was returned, says the petition,
which adds: "There has been a persist
ent and determined effort on the part
Of the police officers and states attorneys
office to compel this relator to divllge
certain alleged facts stated in an anon
yrnous letter TO the states attorney, tend
ing to show that some action was taken
In Camp 20, which resulted in the death
Of Cronin, which alleged facts this re-
lator has failed 10 give for the reason
that the same does not exist"
The states attorney having stated tllat
he did not desire at the present time to
make public his case, Beggs offers TO
have the hearing take place in private.
Judge Horton agreed 10 hear arguments
