MORE ABOUT CRONIN.

!, CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Dr. CronIn's cloth
ing and case of surgical instruments were
found this afternoon and fully identified,
and the discovery has created the greatesr
7 excitement among the officers OF the state.
1t was stated IN the court room that the
clothes and case of instruments were
found in a catch basin IN Lake View, by
|. Leutenent Roche of the Lake View sta
ton, moi a hundred feet from where DR..
Cronin's body was thrown. 1t was after
wards learned that they were discovered
at some little distance from the spot
where the body of the murdered man was
found, but i'll close proximity to the place
where the bloody trunk was discovered
They were covered with slime, but the In
strumen,s were easily recognized as be-
longing to physicians outfit Lleuten-
ant Roche, as soon as he made the discov
cry, at once started for the police head
quarters. Chief Hubbard SAID that the
clothes and instruments were undoub'ed-
ly Dr.. Cronin's.
Complaints have been made recently
that the sewer at the intersection of Evan
ston and Buena avenues was running over. |
and to-day workman were sent to investi- |
gate the trouble. The cover was re-
moved from the manhole in the center of |
with poles and hooks. two valises were
brought up, one a leather one and the
other cheap paper one. In the leather
vaiise was found Dr. Cronin's prescription
book, with several prescriptions bearing
his signature. The paper one dropped TO
pieces as it was pulled out, and from il
rolled mass of tattered clothing, most
of which had been cut in strips. The
only garment remaining intact was the
vest, which was in the center and which
encircled the doctors case of surgical In
struments. The clothes had evidently
been cut, in the hope that they would
sooner drop apart and be borne away in
the sewer. The clothing, surgical case
and prescription book, the latter two be-
| ing marked with Cronin's name, were .
fully identified by the Conkllns and J
others as the property of the murdered
! physician. The most damaging of all the
circumstances for the prisoners is the fact
that the find was made only one block {
from the spot where the bloody trunk
was discovered after it had been thrown I
hLrriedly from the wagon. and only half
mile south Of where the oody was found I
in catch basin. The paper valise is
supposed to be the one purchased by 81. |
B. Simonds," and to morrow a clerk will G
endeavor to identify it.
A tragic event which occurred immedi t
ately in front of the courthouse, while a
everybody was examining these articles, S
caused wild excitement. A shot was '
heard Just at the entrance of Judge Nc
Connell's court. A dozen lawyers and re- o
porters rushed out and found stretched on {
the sidewalk, the body of large man,
with q revolver in his hand and the =
brains ooziug from bis skull. He was h
dead, and, as no one could identify him, l,
it was at once presumed that his tragic !,
death had some mysterious connection 7
with the sensational discoveries of to- day. a
After an hours investigation, however, it a
was learned that bis name Yves Edward
Rehm and that he had been for some
time known to be partially insane. He
doubtless committed suicide while labor r,
ing under mental alteration. Il
