AT the afternoon session number OF
witnesses were examined without de,
veloping anything OF Importance, Then
Chief OF Police Hubbard was sworn and
told OF an interview which he had with
Woodruff, the horse thief Hubbard
asked him what he knew OF the Cronin
matter and II he really was the one who
drove the trunk from the Carlson cot
tage. Woodruff said he was, and he then
described the cottage.
HE said," continued the Chief, "he
took the trunk about midnight on May
4. He had been given $25 by two men
the day before to do the job. At 1880
on May 4, the two men, according to
agreement, raped on the door OF De.

with heavy trunk. The third man
was p. o. Sullivan. When the trunk
was put in the wagon Sullivan returned
to the house. Woodruff, with King and
Fairburn, drove on Lincoln avenue to
Fullerton avenue, thence 10 Lincoln
Park. The men intended to take the
trunk and contents In boat out in the
lake and sink them; but owing to the
bright night and the presence Of stran-
gers, they changed their minds and drove
back. When they reached the manhole
at Fiity-ninth street they tried to dump
the trunk into 1t, but failing, they kicked
the trunk open, they having lost the key,
took the body from 1t, and threw it into
the manhole. Woodruff was then told
to drive off,"
THE NEW YORK ARRESTS.
Chief OF Police Hubbard was asked in
regard to the grounds on which Nc.
Donald and Maroney were arrested in
New York to-day on suspicion OF being
concerned in the Cronin murder. With
regard to the man Mcdonald, who seems
to be the most important OF the two
prisoners, Hubbard said: eve attach no
great importance to tho arrest, as all the
fellow had to do with the case so far rs
we know, is this: He is well known
New York crook, and was absent at the
time OF the murder, and we think he was
here, but we don't know yet. He can
not or will not tell where he was on May
4, but that doesn't prove that he MUIR
dered DR.. Cronin or had anything 10 do
with the crime"
st is alleged that the Carlsons can
identify him as the man who rented the
cottage"
"Bah l-sheer nonsense p
"And that he was in all probability
the man who drove the dealer away"
