TO CLEAR THE CLAN.
CIan.na-Gael Men Want the Oath
of Secrecy Suspended.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The many asser-
tons that evidence relating to the Gro
min murder and to an alleged huge defal-
cation in Irish Nation al League funds
had been discovered by Mortimer
Seaman in books of the defunct
Traders bank, of this city,
while he was in charge as court officer,
were denied tonight by Seaman him
self, who in written statement over his
own signature says all such statements
are absolutely false, and attaches
letter from Sheriff MatsOn stating
that he (Scaalan was never a
deputy sheriff, was never custodian
of, nor in any way connected with
the effects of the Traders bank. Upon
the truth of the Traders bank story
have rested many of the sensational re-
ports that have recently appeared as to
the supposed motive for the murder Of
Cronin. Aside from this statement Of
Mr.. Seaman there have been no inn
portant development in the case
to-day. Chief Hubbard said tonight
that the police are pursuing
the Investigations with all the vigor
possible, but that the progress is slow.
j. f. Beggs, young attorney is re-
puted to be ''senior guardian" of the
Columbia club or Camp So of Clan-na-
Gael. 1t was by this camp, rumor has
it, that DR.. Cronin was tried for trea-
son in star chamber proceedings. The
police, it is said, have been for some
time laboring to collect evidence to con-
meet Camp with the removal of Cronin.
Mr.. Beggs was seen by a reporter this
afternoon and questioned as to his con-
nection with the Clan-na-Gael, etc. He
said the oath of the order prohibited
him from giving any information about
members or as to the position oc-
cupied by himself. Referring to
statement made by Luke Dillon, of
Philadelphia, that the chief executive
of the order would be asked to remove
the pledge of secrecy from members,
that the organization might clear itself
of the charges which nave been made
against it in connection with the case,
MIR. Beggs said he hoped the oath
would be suspended, and added if
the Clan-na-Gael does not acquit itself
in connection with this crime it would
be wrecked and the Irish cause in
America will perish with it. If the
oath of secrecy should be suspended he
is confident the order will instantly be
acquitted of completely in the crime, as
its members and books would make it so
plain that the Clan-na- Gael, as an order,
had nothing to do with murder that such
a thing would never be thought of again.

''They seem to be all right. BY the
way, are these the same make OF shoes
that Mrs. Lightfoot wears?" -
''Well, to tell the truth, not. She al
ways wears make that costs 81 pair
more"
But you said these we're the very
best"
For wear and Quality-so they are"
ssThen why should Mrs. Lightfoot pay
a 81 extra for hers" G.
s'Why, she won't have any other shoe
but Fitem & Co.'s because she can wear
size smaller of theirs than she can Of
any Others"
Oh! but you really don't mean to say
that [ could wear No. OF What's-his

''Certainly, you could. You see they
have got designer of patterns who is
perfect genius, and who understands
the human foot the same as a school,
master does his A = Is. He explained
his system to me one day. and find he
is thoroughly posted. His idea is, in
the first place, to abbreviate the longi-
tudinal pressure forward, and then, by
prOpelling the lateral distentiOn side
ways, he, of course, makes the shoe a
size shorter than it would have been if
he had made it the full length"
'sDear me! How simple that seems.
And you are sure could wear No. 2
of this make?
'sPositive. Here is pair. Try them

'sWhy, these are just too nice for any

"You can see for yourself. Size mark

"Well, I'll take this pair. and alter
this you won't catch me wearing any

This sounds like fiction, but it is
literal fact The conversation took
place just as it is written, with the eX-
ception of the names. Although the
measurements of the woman's foot
called for No. 3, she was fitted per-
fected with No. 2. The explanation
is this: There are manufacturers who,
when ordering sets of lasts, instruct the

The Remarkable Sentences of an

The Remarkable Sentences of an
Honest Judge Who Never Knew
Law.
From the New York Tribune.
Captain Bourke, of the army, is an
interesting story-teller and possesses a
rich fund of "reminiscences and annec-
dote. He was sitting in a group of
newspaper men few nights ago dis
cussing the situation in Oklahoma and
the prospects Of lawlessness and vio-
lence there.
'.Twent Y years ago." said the captain,

worse governed. Outlaws abounded
and they did about as they pleased.
the merchants and men of property
determined to bring about reform, and
the way they decided to do it was to elect
judge who would deal honestly with the
scalawags who were running the town
and corrupting the courts. So they
chose a man named Charlie Meyers
to be judge. Charlie was a drug
gist, who knew'nothiDg about law, but
he was perfectly honest, and that was
the only qualification the citizens de-
sired. Accordingly. Charlie set up a
law dispensary in the same building
with his drug shop. and dealt out JUS
tice and patent medicines with equal
grace. In his court he established Ii
brary of calf-bound books, consisting
chiefly of the materia medica and some
body on Fractured Bones. He engaged
as an officer of the court man who was

But Nobody Suspected a Murder

his body was brought to st. Paul for in

who says he was sent down for rape
over nine years ago, and had been in
the asylum about two years. He re-
members the body of his son arriving
here, but did not suspect anything wrong
and did not notice any marks of
ill-usage or bruises Oh the body. DR..
Bowers had the occurrence registered
at the health office. assigning accident
and internal hemOrrhage" as the cause
of death. II. ii. Schroeder was the
undertaken who laid the body out. and
he says he remembers nothing that
would indicate anything crooked, but
body himself. Taylor Combs record is
not a bright one. July 10, 1869. he was
arrested for ravishing a woman, and
was given twenty years in Saltwater
on Oct. of that year. Gov. Austin par
doned him in 1871. Only few months
after his release he forced an entrance
to dwelling in the night and
was sentenced Sept. "a to four
years at Saltwater. Nine years
ago he was sent down for
thirty years for ravishing little girl.
At the probate court there is no record
of his removal to Rochester, and it is
thought he was sent there on warrant
from the Washington county judge of
probate. Those who know DR.. Bowers
speak very highly of him asagentleman
of high attaInments and an able officer,
conscientious in the discharge of his du-
ties. Gov. Merriam was astounded at
receiving the news of the murder and
at once held a conference with
Secretary Hart, of the state board of
charities and corrections, who was as
thunderstruck as the governor. The
result of the conference was
the sending of a telegram to
Rochester, asking for information.
Neither the governor nor Mr.. Hart could
believe the story. thinking the asylum
authorities were above suspicion, and a
murder of such nature. occurring
many weeks ago. could not
have been kept SO long hushed
up. A reply to the telegram
was received yesterday afternoon, in
timating that there was considerable
foundation for the story, and that a
thorough investigation was being held.
Gov. Merriam instructed Mr.. Hart to
push the investigation so as to have
tine matter thoroughly sifted. 1t is
likely that Mr.. Hart will 90 down to

bency protested against this as viola,
ton of the constitution of the United
States, but they protested in ST.
lence. In fact, to protest was useless.
The process of the Judge was
rather summary, but the result
was very gratifying to the good citizens
of Tucson. The wild, rough characters
who had ruled the town were now en-
gagged in cleaning the streets, and Iuc.-
son was seeing an era of prosperity that
it had not known since its foundation.
But if the business men were pleased,
the lawyers were propOrtiOnately DIS
gusted. The court refused to recog-
nize them. and their business
was gone. One day, however,
one of them plucked up spirit enough
to go before the court in behalf OF m ms

1.-THE Quartz Rock saloon was the
most unsavory place in Tucson: IL
was a gambling hell and resort OF all the
worst toughs and criminals in the place.
One night Charlie heard knocking
at the door of his house. He
had been warned that he would
be assassinated if he remained in town
and continued to preside over the court.
so he was little cautious whom he adj
mitted to his presence. He went down
stairs and opened only the little look
out with which all the doors OF Tucson
houses were provided.
"'WhO's dere?' he said.
"a FRIEND was the reply.

stranger. Il just killed man down

went up stairs to bed. In the morning
the body of the dead man was found in
the streets and the murderer had
