mo, don't know how he was killed, or
why and am leaving all the arrangements
for the funeral and every thing to his
friends shall stay here until he is buried
and perhaps to settle up his estate, but
don't know any thing at all about what
they are doing toward discovering his muir

Tho most sensational episode OF yes
terday was the voluntary surrender OF
r.. g. Sullivan the ice-man He walked
into the station shortly after o'clock and
told Captain Wing that he was ready to
20 into custody. He was taken down
stairs and Captain Wing followed Soon
Lieutenant Spengler went down and was
closeted with his superior and Mr.. Sulli-
van. The three men talked together for
nearly half IN hour, and then Sullivan
was released upon his own recognizance,
agreeing. however. to remain under the
surveillance OF the officers. He will
be permitted to attend to hts bust
ness as usual, but will be
watched all the time by the
Lake View policemen The only thing that
cause the officers to believe that Mr.. Sui
livan is in some way implicated Is the fishy
story told by Justice Mahoney about the
contract for physicians attendance said to
have been made by Sullivan with DR..
Cronin and the fact that Cronin was sum-
moned on the night OF his disappearance to
attend q supposed wounded man at Sulli-
vans house.
The police did nothing Thursday to cast
light on the dark mystery. SO far as captur-
ing any one who might know any thing Of
the foul means adopted In consummating
the removal Of Cronin the police have
accomplished nothing. Indeed, Cronins
friends arc going to ignore the Chicago po-
lice in the Investigations they propose to
prosecute.
The case has been placed in the hands Of
Detective William Pinkerton, and the work
oil ferreting out the actual conspirators is
now being pushed. There are three sus-
poets. Two of them are under surveillance.
These men are believed to be SO closely as
sociated with the foul murder as to be able
to tell how it was cOnsuMmated. There Is
another class of suspects. These are the
leading conspirators who, while they prob
ably took no hand in the actual assassina-
tion, gave it their Endorsement ii not their
hearty support
Sullivan, the ice-man. is closely shad-
owed, and Justice Mahoncy, who intro
duced Sullivan to DR. Cronin, is also under
surveillance. The latter made q statement
to States Attorney l. ngenecker in which
he said that the introduction OF the two
men was brought about by q chance meet
Ing, and that SO far rs he knew Sullivan
only took advantage Of it to close profit
fha nj
services Mahoney denies any knowledge
Of plot to injure the doctor and he has
gone so far as to state that he does not be-
lieye that Sullivan had any thing to do
with the murder.
Coroner Hertz visited Lake View yester-
day afternoon and swore In Jury, which
was then conducted to the room where
Cronin's body is. After looking at it and
examining the wounds In thA head the in
quest was adjourned to next Tuesday morn
ing
Captain O'Connor. the man who a few
days after Cronin's disappearance. said:
..Show me DR.. Cronins body and will show
you his murderers." was not SO positive yes
terlay that he could point ont the doctors
assassins, but he did say: Il think can find
them. and propose to de7ote my life in
chasing them to earth"

now being accumulated for the purposes
Of investigation, and the promoters OF
the investigation say there will be
S5O,OOO easily raised for the cause
They appear determined to go to bedrock
for facts, and the result of their
investigation is awaited with keen impa-
tience, as the general impression is that
facts peculiarly startling and sensational
will be sprung
Mr.. John T. Scanlan has written card
explanatory of declarations he has made
regarding his opinions on the Cronin
case He says he did not say that
the murder was committed by an
.Organization' or by enemies among
Irish Nationalists," nor did he say that
he could put hts hands on tho
guilty parties. Mr.. Scanlan further says
that neither DR.. Cronin nor his friends
ever intimated any thing about q shortage
in the land league funds He promises to
give the authorities all the information he
has to aid in bringing DIR. Crcnin's murder
crs to justice.
NEW YORK. May A-John Dewey charge
that he has been misrepresented in the
papers throughout the country in regard to
what he has said about the Cronin case.
He claims to have been incorrectly report

funds Of the Irish Nationa! League He said:
