DR.. Herman Said to be Unable to
Control the Attendants Of
the Asylum.
Whisky Appears to be one of the
Staple Articles of the
Institution.
The Cronin Mystery Deepening and
no Clue as to How the Doctor
Was Killed.
Still Investigating.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Dr. Clevenger was
on the stand again to-day in the insane
asylum investigation. "Pay is the object
at the asylum" he said. land it attracts
toughs and roughs. 1t ought to be cut
down so as to get only medical students
and those anxious to learn to be attendants.
At one time DR.. Herman made rule that
all bruises and lnjuriestinflicted on patients
must be dressed at once. The attendants
went on strike Immediately. They could
not be bothered with 80 much work. DR..
Herman also refused at one time allow
the employees access to the liquor room,
and the engineer became very angry and
threatened to kick the door down. 1t was
no use to discharge attendants when in.
competent, they would come around next
day and brag that they could not be dis
charged, and that they had more influence
than the superintendent did attend
ants undertake1to administer medicine as
it suited them?" "Oh yes,they gave sleeping
potions whenever they wanted to. Dr.
Kiernan altered this and made himself
very unpopular" "How about the ex-

compared with state institutions ?" II
think that in state institutions the rate is
about SO per capita per month, while in
Cook county it was at least $12. l believe
Cook county has paid as high as $50 per
month per capita. Most of the expense
was for whisky. With 15OO patients in
Kankakee, the liquor bills amount to 5000
or $500 per year. Herewith community
of never over 900 people, the same bills
amounted to $1,000 or $4,000. The exces.
siye cost was largely due to stealings."
"What about rats out there?"
"There are rats, mice and all
kinds of vermin,y large and small, cock
reaches, lice, bed bugs, etc, out there.''
eWhere were they, in the walls?' asked
the court. swell, your honor, it's hard to
say where they were not. DR.. Kiernan
tried hard for month to get fine tooth
combs, but the county board could not
spare the money from the whisky bills. l
am pretty we'll satisfied that Herman is
utterly unable to prevent brutality. Kier-
nan is surrounded by lot of enemies, and
he is the subject of a conspiracy which he
is too simple minded to perceive. He is
unsuspici0us and is, il may use the
word. too easily bamboOzled. He is utterly
incapable of cruelty.''

twine has been increased by the trust till
it costs the farmer bushel of oats for a
pound Of twine, and they are clamoring
for relief. In Michigan the legislature ap-
pointed a committeelto Investigate and re-
port upon the expediency of introducing
the manufacture of twine into prisons as q
means of relief, but their inquiries devel-
oped the fact, Professor Willets says, that
the corner Of the trust extended to the raw
material itself. The department is consid-
ering in connection with the flax question,
the whole subject of the growth of fbrous

A Clue.

CHICAGO. May 24.-The Key to the
Cronin mystery was in the most literal
sense brought to light this evening. In
the blood-smeared cottage which the police
had already decided was the scene Of the
murder, there was found by a detective to-
night bran new key. The officers de-
cided at once to try it in the lock of the
mysterious trunk found by the roadside
the morning after Cronin disappeared.
The hey fitted exactly. 1t is thought that
all connection between the prisoner Wood
ruff and the doctors dead body and the
trunk and blood-stained cottage has been
put beyond question. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that detectives were sent out of the
city during the day to point where it is
thought at least one of the assassins would
De located. They were accompanied by a
man whose identity the police would not
dlvulge, but who is believed to be John
Carlson, a son Of the owner of the blood
despatched house. Thursday the officers
struck clue which led to the discovery Of
the cottage, and working on it, secured de-
scriptiOns of who. in all probability, were
perpetrators OF the awful crime.
New mystlfying circumstance came out
tonight. The man who last lived in Carlson
cottage some time in the fal! was we'll
dressed man, about six feet high, and wore
q heavy black mustache according to Mrs.
Lindgren.a daughter OF Carlson's, who said
also tonight that the man gave his name
as king" The description and name as
given by Mrs. Lindgren, who is German
and scarcely able to speak English, and
who saw no newspapers and knows little
or nothing even yet of the intricacies of
Cronin's case, tallies in every particular
with the description and name given by
the prisoner Woodruff as to thesperson who
with Falrburn got him to haul the trunk.
The police have been inclined to treat
King as myth, but will doubtless now
back water.

ST. LOUIS, May A.-The west bound
train on the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad which left st. Louis 8:l5 last night
was wrecked at point three
miles west Of Sullivan, Mo-, which
place is sixty-eight miles west of st.
Louis. Not passenger escaped unhurt,
and forty.five are known to have been seri-
ously injured, though no deaths are yet re-
ported. The train was running at high
rate of speed when suddenly, without
warning. the track gave way and the loco
motive, baggage car and five coaches went
over the embankment. The train men
and those only slightly injured at once set
to work to prevent additional horror of
fire, in which they succeeded and then
turned their attention to the more unfortu-
nate injured and in very short time forty
five passengers, all badly hurt, had been
released from the debris. A temporary
hospital was improvised at Sullivan and
the most seriously injured were taken
there, While others were brought to st.
Louis on the relief train which was hur-
ried to the scene of the disaster. The
wounded are under the care of DR.. Nc
lntyre, chief surgeon of the road. 1t was
1l:25 p. m. when the accident occurred.
The train was travelling at a
high rate of speed and most of
the passengers had already gone
to sleep, while the few remaining awake
were about to do so. There is curve in
the road, and when this point was reached
sudden jolt and jar was felt all over the
ON In; |,
rear cars could hear the forward coaches
rafting and rumbling over the ties and
crushing noises of cars being demolished.
A creek is crossed by the road at that
point and there is steep embankment
thirty feet high. Most of the passengers
bridge, and feeling of horror chilled their
blood: In an instant all the coaches ex-
cept the sleeping car had been thrown
from the rails. People were thrown about
in the cars in all directions and some of
them thrown from the coaches and down
idson, who travels for the Westinghouse
air brake. was thrown right out of win
dow on the opposite side of the coach from
which he was sitting and sent rolling down
the embankment to the edge Of the creek.
His feet were in the water. Another pas
from the rear end of the coach to the
forward end. In fact, men, women and
children were thrown about promis-
cuously. The train proper was made up of
mail cal, express car, baggage car smoker.
ladies' coach, reclining chair car and two
Pullman sleepers. Back of these sleepers
were hitched five empty coaches of San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass road which
had been picked up at some way station.
The front truck of the first sleeper jumped
the track. but the rest OF the car remained
on, and the rear sleeper and empty coaches
ately there were no fires in any of the cars.

mediately. Road officials claim it is clear
case of train wrecking. On the train was
