The chief said: At 1:30 o'clock, May f, two men, according to agreement, rapped on the door of Dinan's stable. Woodruff open ed the door and let out horse with rags on its feet and hitched it to a wagon. They then drove to within 100 feet of Carlson's cottage. Woodruff was told to wait and the two men left him and went into the cottage. They remained in five minutes, when they came out and beck oned him to drive up and they went in- to the cottage again. Presently the two men, King and Fairburn. and a third man came out, between them carrying a heavy trunk. The third man was Sul- livan. When the trunk was put into the wagon Sullivan returned to the house. Woodruff, with King and Fairburn, drove to Lincoln Park. The men intended to take the trunk and its contents in boat out on the lake and sink it, but owing to the bright night and the presence of strangers they drove back and when they reached the man-hole on 69th street, they tried to dump the trunk into it. Failing in this they kicked the trunk open, having lost the key, and took the body from it and threw it into the man. hole."

 CHICAGO, June 1.-The coronor's jury in their verdict hold that pr. Cronin was decoyed from his home on North Clark street, on the evening of May 4th and at Carlson's cottage was murdered by being beaten on the head with some blunt instrument; that the evidence shows concluslvely that a plot or con- spiracy was formed by a number of per sons for murdering said Cronin and con- cealing his body, and that in the judg ment of the jury no persons, except some of those connected with the United Brotherhood, or Clan NaGael, had cause to be the instigators of any such plot or conspiracy. "We find from the evidence" says the jury, ''that number of persons were parties to the plot to murder the said Cronin and that Daniel Coughlin, Patrick Sullivan, Alexander Sullivan and one Woodruff alias Black were either principals, accessories or had guilty knowledgs of said plot and should be held to answer before the grand jury. We also believe that other persons were engaged in this plot or had a guilty knowledge of it and should be appre- hended and held to answer before the grand jury. We further state that this plot or conspiracy in its conception and execution IS one of the most foul and brutal that ever came to our knowlede and we recommend that the proper au thorities offer a large reward for the discovery and apprehension of those en- gagged in 1t in any way. We further state that in our judgment all secret so- cleties whose objects are such, as evi- dence shows that of Clan NaGael or United Brotherhood to be, are not in harmony and injurious to American in stitutions."
 SAN FRANCISCO, June IA special from Los Angeles says: Major Kimball, Chief Quartermaster of the Department of Arizona, IS in a quandary as to how to proceed regarding an important contract. A fews days ago bids opened for supplying three million pounds of grain and other supplies to military posts in Arizona, and one Gilbert Webb was found to be the lowest bidder. Ac- cording to law the contract should be awarded to him. Webb has large ranch situated between Fort Thomas and Fort Lowell, adjacent to the scene of the re- cent robbery of Paymaster Wham, and when the contract was just about to be awarded him, word was received at head quarters iu this city of his arrest on a. charge of participation in that robbery.
