Chicago, June l3-When j. J. MoronayI new
under arrest in New-York, is brought to Chicago
he will have more thnn one thing TO explainG
lie admits that he was in Chicago on April
J 6 and that he registered st McCoy's Hotel
w. G. Melville, but claims that he lsfO this olty
on April 81 and has not been here since. This
Is open 10 question, the signature w. A
Melville and WIFE appears on the register Of
May q, and the handwriting is cXuctly the same
as that Of the man who registered as W. q.
Melville" The middle initial is changed, but
still the "W." and Melville are written by the
same person There can be no mistake about the
matter The fact that w. A. Melville registered
with his wife causes the conjecture that the
woman who wns with him was to be taken to the
Carlson cottage to pose as the sister Of Frank
williams, and was probably at the house when
the doctor was butchered The couple registered
at the hotel on May S but left tho next day, the
| date when the doctor was lured from his home.
On May 8, however, a man and woman returned
10 the hotel and registered as Melville and wife,
but the signatures, being in different handwrit-
ing, go 10 show that two uf the assasSins were
travelling under the same name. The clerk re-
calls the incident and says he thinks that the
woman who was registered on May as the wife
was the same who came 10 the hotel with another
| man two days later.
Alexander sullivan was stiu passing the time
away the best he could to-day in cell 25 Of the
