 CHICAGO, June 4.-At ten o'clock this morning the grand jury will resume the investigation of the Clan na- Gael con- spiracy which resulted in the death of Dr. Cronin. The expression "Clan-na- Gael conspiracy" conveys precisely the idea that the grand jury has conceived of the cause of the assassination from the evidence which has so far been presented to them. They feel certain that the re- moval of Dr. Cronin was accomplished as the almost direct result of the teaching of the more radical wing of the organiza- tion. and on the resumption of their la- bors to-day they will go deeper into the secrets, teachings and doctrines of the order than they have yet done.
 Chief of Detectives Elliott made tho startling statement Saturday that Burke was wanted for another murder besides that of Gronin. Further than this gener- al statement Lieutenant Elliott would not go, but he promised to go into particulars in few days. The authorities have also obtained additional elews in regard to Patrick Cooney, Burke's pal, who is now confidently believed by the police to be ''J. B. Simonds,o or one of the civilians l brothers," Burke being the other. Detec- tive Palmer has discovered that on the day of Burke's arrest at Winnipeg Cooney left the city, being we'll supplied with funds by a man who is known to the police, and is being shadowed. The po- lice claim to be on the right scent, and say they will have Cooney behind the bars in less than week Chief Hubbard has reduced Sergeant Stifft, one of ex- Captain Schaaek's snbordinates, to the rank of patrolman, presumably because he has received information which has led him to suspect that the officer has been giving away the secret move- ments of the police in the Cronin case, which have been used to advantage by friends of the murdeFers.
 Chief Hubbard, Captain Sehuettler and Detective Palmer are in jolly frame of mind. The cause of the sudden change of feeling was the complete identification of Martin Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner, as one of the principals in the horrible butchery. The authorities are now sure that they are working in the right direc- ] tion. Superintendent Hubbard remarked somewhat anxiously Saturday:
 "It would be all right if we only had l Cooney. If We could only get our hands i on that seoundrel then we would listen to confession and commence to bring in the eulprits.'
 The London Times has become sudden | ly interested in the Grenin case, and it is expected that the paper has some strik l ing revelations i'll connection with the murder that will be given to the public in a short time. This morning a clerk from l Lawyer Frank Golfers office appeared at ! the corouer'5 office with a copy of cable- gram just received from Solicitor Soames { of the London Times, in which Mir. Collier l is authorized to obtain. as speedily as l possible, a legal certified copy of the complete proceedings of the coroner's in- quest. This will neeessitate a copy being made of the eleven hundred type written pages turned cut by the shorthand men at the inquest. The public is left to guess what object the London Times may have with copy of all the evidence taken before the coroner's jury. It is said that the matter was to have been kept a secret. In connection with the cable gram it may be mentioned that Frank Collier is on his way to London, having left Chicago several days ago. A copy of the evidence will be prepared next week by the clerks of the coroner's office at a cost of S2J0 or more.
