Iceman O'Sullivan Wants to
Confess His Part in the
Cronin Murder.
Officer Collins Positively
Identifies the Winnipeg
Suspect as John Burke.
The Prisoner Unwittingly Rec
ogniZes the Sleuth From
the Windy. City.
Preliminary Steps Toward
the EXtradition of the
Prisoner.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-P. O'Sullivan, the
ice man indicted for completely in the
Cronin tragedy. was to-day removed to
the so-called boys department of the
jail, the recognized haven for 'squeal-
ers." O'Sullivan is the person whose
business card and whose curious con-
tract with the doctor for medical
services were used to lure CrOnin
to death. The story is given
out that the iceman has
offered to make clean breast of every
thing he knows. His motives for being
willing now to confess is alleged to be
fright over the arrest of Burke at Win
nipeg and the disclosure that COoney,
''The Fox" is being actively pursued.
Considerable credit is given the state
ment as to the iceman, but it is tenn
his removal is simply part of series of
shrewd tactics on the part of the au-
thorities to break down one or another
OF the suspects. O'Sullivan, it is
claimed. sent to-day to Sheriff Matson,
and requested personal interview.
The sheriff responded, and after a
brief, pointed talk. hurried to the grand
jury room in search of States Attorney
Longenecker. The states attorney, it
is represented, was making such en-
couraging progress with the grand jury
that he was reluctant to bother with
an informer. This information
was taken to the ice man, and
resulted in still more urgent
plea for hearing with MIR. LOngeneck-
er. The states attorney, it is said.

PECULIAR FOOTPRINTS.
They May lmp!icate a Prominent
Celt Now Under Surveillance.


CHICAGO. June 2O.-The police have
under surveillance another suspect
against whom they hope to secure evil
dence which will connect him with the
conspiracy. At present the evidence
against him is purely circumstantial.
When the Carlson cottage revealed its
terrible story, one of the most promis-
ing clews which it presented was the
footprints in the paint. The murderer
who painted the parlor floor to cover
the great splOtch of blood which marked
the place where Cronin fell, walked about
in the paint in his stocking feet. Soon
after the fact that the cottage was the
scene of the murder was published,
with full description of the foot tracks
and the blood marks, shoemaker
wrote to the paper offering valuable
suggestion. He said that well known
Irishman and Clan-na-Gael man he had
seen mentioned in the newspapers with
the murder was customer of his and
of the floor about thirty inches square
was cut out with three tracks on it and
. was taken to police headquarters.
Then the shoemaker was visited,
and he was asked to produce his
book in which he preserved the
traclngs. showing the shape of
sfis customers feet. The outlines of the
suspected lrishman's feet were COM
pared with the footprints taken from
the floor, and were found to correspond
exactly in size and shape. The pc
sculiarity about the foot which made the
paint tracks is the depth of the hollow
part of it. In the paint tracks there is
e great curve, running in from the
great toe to the heel, almost severing
the latter from the front part of the
foot. In the tracing in the shOemaker's
measure book, which was made
while the customer. with only stock
ing on his foot, was standing on it, the
same popularity is observed, while the
singuiarity as to size makes it remark
able coincidence at the least. Ever
since this discovery was made the man
has been watched by the police and is
still so closely guarded that he could
not leave the city. The board with the
paint tracks on il and the measure book
of the shoemaker have been in the
gran d jury room for several days and
have been inspected by the jurors. 1t
is likely that the suspect will be called
before the jury for examination.

outdone in lending a holiday as

Wind and Rain Do Great Damage

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, June 2O.-This city
was visited by destructive storm of
wind and rain about o'clock this
morning. The wind blew at the rate of
sixty miles an hour and rain fell in tor
rents. Sections of the viaduct of the
new cable line on Jackson street were
washed out and filled with mud, caus-
ing a suspension of business. The new
pOntOOn bridge was damaged. The
heavy northwest wind, combined with
the rushing waters, snapped the cables
holding two sections of the draw in the
channel of the river, and the draws and
toll house were carried out. Sixty boats
were carried out and soon broke apart.
A small steamer was sent down
the river after them, but only
succeeded in getting half of
them, the remaining thirty still
being on their course down stream.
Huge piles of drift wood are stacked
against the up stream side of the bridge,
ana the damage will amount to several
thousand dollars to the bridge company
alone. Reports received from sur
rounding points show that the storm
was general. At Riverside Park sew
