lie was seen yesterday in Toronto, Ont,
by man who knew him well. pr.
Cronln asked his acquaintance 10 say
nothing about having seen him, saying
he had acquired notoriety enough
now. There seems TO be no
doubt now that DR.. Cronin's dis
appearance was connected with
the trunk found out near the SuIzer
Road. Frank ]. Black, or Woodruff,
arrested for stealing the white horse
connected with trunk case, says he was
hired by William II. King to steal the
horse and wagon from the livery stable.
Then, accompanied by one Dick Fair
bum and man he supposes was Dr..
Cronin, they took the trunk from q barn
OF North State Street, and proceeded to
Lincoln Park, where the body of a
woman was taken from the trunk.
He then drove out in the country
with the trunk, and left it where it was
found. He supposes that the body of
the woman was thrown in the pond.
near where it was left. The police be-
heve Woodrutf's story, as he took the
officers over the ground and pointed
out every spot mentioned in the confess
sion, including the place where the
trunk was left and found. 1t is sup
posed that the woman died while Dr.
Cronln was performing an operation
upon her.
Capt. Setback is consulting with the
state attorney, this morning, regarding
measures to compel the Conklngs to
tell what they know about cOnspiracies
against Cronin's life.
The police are to-day engaged in

CronlE said: Look here Long, for Gods
sake let up on me. | have already had
enough notoriety, and don't want to be
bothered. Why can't you let me go

friend, and l shall expect that you will
say nothing about having seen me-"
Come IN and let Us talk the matter
over" said Long, leading the pair into
q saloon.
Cronin appeared TO be a very sick
man. In fact the first impression con-
veyed was that he was out of his mind.
He rambled away about the Royal
League and Mr.. Warren, the secretary
and then, apparently getting frenzied,
denounced IN strong terms number OF
St. Louis and Chicago men, among them

CAST, and Lawyer Wade.

the past few months, but he would give
no details, and said that the for
feiture of his life had been settled upon
as the penalty.
