CHICAGO, June 20.-The books of the
Chicago National Bank were called for
by the Cronin Grand Jury today. An
hour was spent examining the accounts
OF Alexander Sullivan, comparing the
dates of certain checks with the dates Of
Sullivan's operations on the Board of
Trade. Evidence was given to show

poets and to mis- frequently expressed
animosity to Cronin.
TRACED BY HIS FEET IN CHICAGO.
The police have under surveillance in
the Cronin case another suspect against
whom they hope to secure evidence
which will connect him with the con-
spiracy. When the Carlson cottage was
examined and the footprints in the fresh
paint on the floor were discovered, a shoe
maker wrote to the police offering valu-
able suggestions. He said that we'll
known Irishman and Clan Ma Gael man
whose name he had seen mentioned in
the papers in connection with ihe MUIR
der was customer of his, and that
he had very peculiar feet. A piece
of the floor of the cottage with stocking
foot prints on it was cut out and taken to
police headquarters and compared with
q tracing of the foot in the possession of
the shoemaker. They were found to
correspond almost exactly in size and
shape. Ever since the discovery was
made the mau has been closely watched
by the police, and is 30 guarded that he
cannot leave the city. The shoemaker y
tracing and the fragment of the flooring
are in the hands of the Grand Jury.

identified Martin Burke as the man

lately upon his arrival, he proceeded to
the Police Station, and, together with

and Collins remarked: "Well, Burke,
this is bad place to be in." Burke
replied instantly: "Yes, John, it is."

edge of the Chicago detective. Collins

wooDRUFF's PARENTS.
CHICAGO, June 20.-Mr. and Mrs. H.
@. Black, of San Francisco, arrived in
the city today and had long interview
at the jail with Frank Woodruff, Mrs
Blacks son. The meeting was an affect.
ing one, and the old couple were almost
prostrated. They were seen by reporter
in an interview, and stated that, al
though Lawyer Pierce had been EN-.
ployed to defend their wayward son, he
would be unable to afford him an
adequate defense, as they possessed NO
property, and Mr.. Black was dependent
for their support upon his regular salary
from San Francisco firm. Hence they
declined to state anything that had
passed between them.
"The prisoner, your son, Claims" said
the reporter to Mrs. Black, "that he is
neither Catholic nor an Irishman, and
that he will get the worst of it, and be
made to suffer for the sins of Others"
Yes, that is what we are afraid Of
replied the lady. "We have no money
to defend Frank, and we fear that there
is an attempt to MAKE him scapegoat."
The couple will return to San Francisco
in day or two.
| THE ICEMAN CooLs OFF.
P. O'Sullivan, the iceman, was today
removed to the so called boys depart
ment of the Jail, the recognized haven
for "squealers. 1t is asserted that the
iceman has offered to make a clean
breast of everything he knows. His
motive for being willing now TO confess
is alleged to be his fright over the arrest
Of Burke, and the search for Cooney, the
latter's partner.
