Immediately upon the verdict being rem
dsred Deputy Sherihs Palmer. Broderick
and Williams drove in a carriage 70 the
residence of Alexander Sullivan on Oak
street, in the north division. Even yester-
day the coolness which has characterized
the noted Nationalist from the opening Of
the investigation remained with him.
Although the jury had returned before he
had left his law Office, under the shadows
Of the county building, and he know full

morning. he was in bed and sound asleep
when the deputies arrived.
They had expected 10 find HIM awaiting
them and surrounded by bis friends. In
stead Of this his law clerk, Henry Brown,
and the domestics were the only occupants
Of the house. He responded with alacrity
70 the summons and in few minutes was
up and dressed He said nothing when the
warrant was read, but with a self-possessed
smile accompanied the officers 70 the car
riage. The party was rapidly driven TO the
county jail where, after the usual formalties
had been gone through, Sullivan was placed
in a cell on the ground floor near where the
Anarchists were incarcerated.
CHICAGO. June l3-Master wyndes, OF
counsel for Alexander Sullivan, made ap
plication yesterday afternoon for writ Of
habeas corpus Judge Tuley issued the
writ rcinrnable at four O'Clock, and within
ten minutes the paper was served on Sheriff
Matson. When Alexander Sullivan ap-
peared in the court room shortly after four
o'clock. and made dignified bow TO the
bench he was as cool as . cucumber At
the outset States Attorney Longenecker
filed demurrer 10 the proceedings on the
ground that the evidence against Sullivan
had not been Incorporated in the petition
for the writ OF habeas corpus, but It was
soon developed that the opinion he cited in
support OF his position had been rendered
years before the enactment Of the present
habeas corpus act.
Stirring arguments in behalf OF Sullivan's
admission TO bail were then made by A. S.
Trude and ex Senators Gilbert and Duncan.
They held that there was not a iot or little
in the evidence presented at the inquest
that justified the deprivation OF Sullivan Of
his liberty; that dog would not be judged
on the mass Of gossip and suspicion that
went to make up the case against him. and
that tine verdict Of the jury lacked coherency
or definite character.
In replying the States Attorney admitted
that the case against Sullivan was not so
strong as against some Of the other prison
ers, but objected to action being taken while
the grand jury was considering the case.
Judge Tnlcy reviewed the situation at
length, and said he would render decision
on Friday morning.
The special grand Jury selected by Sheriff
Matson in obedience 10 the mandate Of Judge
TO investigate the Cronin trag-
edy, were impaneled in the criminal court
at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. There
are only two Irishmen on the panel, W. J.
Quan and John O'NielL Mr. Guam Is the
well known wholesale grocer, and Mr..
O'Niell is the ex-county commissioner The
grand jury was in session for three hours
during the afternoon, and listened to a repe-
tition Of some OF the testimony given at the |
inquest
A dispatch from New York states that |
both Maroney and Mcdonald, who were
arrested on Tuesday, earnestly deny any
ha No
roney is especially emphatic in his denial, |
according to Inspector Byrnes, and wishes
TO be taxen TO Chicago at ence in order to |
prove his innocence OF the charge against |
him. He asserts that he will not contest his |
extradition to Illinois in any way He is |
very bitter against Luke Dillon, at whose |
door he lays the instigation leading TO his |
arrest 1t is said that Maroney is anxious |
10 make n statement for publication, but In
spector Byrnes will not permit him TO be in |
tarviewed. Mcdonald is said to be very /
nervous and not inclined to discuss the mat |
ter Of his arrest with any person, fearing |
that he may say something which might be
used against him, but he stoutly continues
TO deny any direct knowledge of the crime.
Hatfield, the furniture salesman, is al
most positive that the photograph Of Moro

the Carlson cottage, while the expressman
Is absolutely sure that it was Moroney that
hired his wagon and carried the articles into
the cottage. The Chicago detectives with
