It was also stated that another arrest
viii be made to-day.
The inquest on the body has been
postponed until this afternoon, when a
post norton will be made.
Further examination this morning
goes to establish the theory that it was
the body Of Cronin, and not that Of q
woman which was carried in the trunk.
In addition to establishing the fact
that the hair found in the trunk cor
responded with that of CrOnin, that the
cotton batting found in the trunk and
that found with the body corresponded
it has been shown that the towel found
wrapped around the head CORES
pended closely with a shred of stuff
found in the trunk. 1t still remains
to connect the fragment of cloth
clutched in the dead mans hand with
thepiece from which it was torn.

and awful murder. l can lay my hand

questioned about the statement. but
would only say that all he knew he

Judge Longenecker first examined the
bloody trunk and the corpse of Dr..
Cronin and was then closeted for an
hour with Mr.. Rend. After the con-

Highway Robbery.

SHAwANoE, Wis, May 25.-One of
the first highway robberies taking
place in this neighborhOod for many
years occurred last evening, as the
Langlade stage, carrying the mail be-
tween several minor points in Onta-
gamie county, was approaching this
place on its regular trip over the old
military road. Six passengers were in
the coach. All had considerable money
but no firearms. A man jumped from
the brush by the roadside, covered the
driver and passengers with revolver
III each hand and demanded the mail
sacks. When they were thrown to him
he ordered the driver to proceed. and
kept him covered until out of range.
The robber then took the woods with
his blunder, the value of which is un-
/ known

is safe to say that it was either a po-

Now. if he was a member of So
ciety that was split up into factions
and the leaders of one faction wanted
him removed, does il seem probable
that they would dare attempt such a
thing, while he had so many close
friends, who would be supposed to
know all that he knew? Killing him
would not bury the truth. His COM
panions would have to be in possession
Of the information which he is sup
posed to possess. Then again. sup
pose the entire society had became
convinced that it was for the good of
way, would they have entrusted the
deed to such a tough as that man
Black or Woodruff?
Now, is it reasonable?' He asked,
THAT a number of prominent men
would place them selves in position
to be han yed by procuring the assis-
lance of a cheap jail bird to do the
work? No, sir. it would be well to
90 to work and discover where each
one of the suspected persons were on
the night night of May 4th."
"Then there is still another idea
Suppose the persons who wanted him
removed should 90 TO work to
convince the other members of the so
ciety that after all Cronin was
an English spy; that all of his buster
about the misrepresentation of Irish
relief funds was nothing more or less
than part of his scheme to create dis
turbance, cause an investigation and
thus learn the true disposal of the
Irish funds here. What would not the
English government give to know just
what funds have been raised here and
for what purpose.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 24.-The
supreme court yesterday in the case
appealed by the Fidelity & Casualty
company, of New York, rendered an
important decision effecting the rights
Of out side insurance companies in
Iowa. The principle established by
the decision is that the limitations and
provisions of law of any other state
are applicable under Iowa statutes
to corporations of that state seeking
to do Insurance business in this. BY
the laws Of New York, a corporation
organized under the laws of another
state is precluded from taking in that
state more than one class of risks.
The New York company is therefore
prohibited from insuring against per-
sonal accidents. the breaking of plate
glass, assuring the fidelity of persons
of trust writing fire policies. The de-
cision of the lower court is affirmed.
