ANOTHER ATTEST MADE,

Another arrest has been made in CON
nection with the Cronin murder. The
man King described by the Prisoner
Woodruff as the person who hired him
to steal horse out Of Deans barn, was
captured at 2 o'clock this morning in o
house Of ill,fame, The arrest was made
by detectives acting under orders from
Chief Hubbard, The capture was
made with all possible secrecy and King
was taken 10 the Central Station by
q circultous route. In anumber OF par
iCulars King answers the description
given OF him by Woodruff, When
Woodruff first told his story he gave all
the since oit.repeated particulars as 10
how he met King, and was engaged by
him to take part in the tragedy OF the
trunk. It is mystery why King
has not been arrested, though at
NO time did he manifest a
desire 10 leave the city so 1t is under
stood from the police. The arrest has
been kept secret as 1t is desired to con-
front Woodruff with King. When
brought together the men may indulge
In mutual accusations that will be'of In
terest.
King is q husband Of courtesan who
died not long ago, and has associated
with criminals for years. 1t has been
believed for some time that while Wood
ruff may have told the truth in some re.
spects he also made misleading state
ments. In this connection 1t Is signih-
cant that In important details the de-
scriptlon OF King Is defective.
SUSPICIOUS cIRcUMsTANCEs.
An extraordinary chain OF cirCum-
stances was brought to light this even
ing. Young Miss Murphy, who declared
she saw DR.. Cronin coming down town
several hours after he left home never to
return, Is the daughter of saloonkeeper
In whose place an attempt was once
made, 1t is said, to arrest Cronin for con-
neCtion with an alleged woman sCrape.
Miss Murphy Is also said to
be a relative Of Detective Whalen, the
partner Of the suspected officer, Cough.
lin. This Miss Murphy denies. The
street car conductor, Dwyer, who cor.
roborated the story that Cronin was
seen coming down town and presumably
took train out OF the city, Is said to
have resigned and disappeared. An
ex-street car man named Herman,
whose whereabouts could not be learned
tonight, has recently been In the EN-.
ploy OF the ice man. II was one OF the
business cards Of Sullivan that played
such q part in turning Cronin to death.
HUNTING THE ExPREssMAN.
Capt. schaack, Capt. Wing and Lieut..
scheuttler kept their officers very busy
to-day. They were trying to find the
expresBman who hauled the trunk from
III South Clark street to the Lake View
cottage where Cronin was murdered.
The Offices Of the various Lake View
Express companies and the homes OF
certain expressmen were visited, but the
right man was not found. nj. s.flaI |
1t is the prevalent belief with the
officers that when the man is found the
murderers OF Cronin will be traced up
70 one week ago. The reason for this
lies in the fact that the express man will
be able to tell where the men went to
board or room after the furniture was
taken TO the cottage, The Cottage was
not occupied by them at all, yet they
were in the city all the time and called
three times at the Carlson house be.
fore Cronin's disappearance. Again,
on May 10, over week after
the murder, a man called on Mrs. Carlson
and tried TO persuade her TO accept Sl2
for another months rent. 1t seems rea.
sonable to conclude that the murderer
remained some days in the city after the
deed was done and returned to, their
boarding place on the night Of May 4 as
i nothing had happened and remained
there until after May 10. To locate
them between these dates seems to be
as difficult a task as To locate them now.
