van and Thief Black.

Body of DIR. Cronin In the Sewer

CHICAGO, May 29-D elective Daniel
Coughlin, Patrick o. Sullivan, the ice
man, and Frank J. Black, alias Woodruff,
were indicted by the grand jury last
evening for the murder of DIR. Cronin.
This result was reached after an investi-
CATION which began at noon and lasted
seven hours, during which two dozen
witnesses were examined and mass Of
evidence considered. The three prisoners
were included in one Indictment, to
which there were three counts ono charge
ing them with killing DR.. Cronin with Q
blunt instrument the second alleging
the use Of sharp instrument, and
the third instruments and means un-
known. Frank Woodruff, alias Frank
Black, has been taken into camp by Cap
tain Setback, and he has told the whole
story of his connection with DR.. Cronin's
murder. According to the statements he
has made to the captain he was not direct
ly connected with the murder itself, but
simply acted as the driver of the wagon
whi ch disposed of the dead mans body in
the CATCH basin where it was found.
Woodruff has been taken to the
scene of Cronin's murder and also
to the sewer where the body was
found and the place where the trunk
was first seen. Woodruff himself gave
the driving directions to the detectives,
who managed the reins and in every inf
stance located the exact places where the
chief acts in the tragedy occurred. Ac-
cording to his confession, he was directed
by those who had charge Of that part
of the conspiracy, and whose names Cap-
tain Setback serves for reasons that are
palpable, to go to Dinan's livery stables
where he would obtain q horse and
wagon He had already been instruct-
ed to drive the outfit to the neighbor,
hood of the Carlson cottage, and he
also knew for what purpose he was to go
there. Woodruff arrived at the cottage
about twenty minutes before DR.. Cronin
was driven up, and placed his horse and
wagon at point near the cottage where
he could keep his eye on the front steps,
He saw the white horse rig containing DIT
Cronin and his conduo tor arrive and threes
quarters of an hour thereafter the man WHO
was known as Williams opened the front
door of the cottage and gave the signal by
stamping his foot on the wooden porchs
Woodruff at once drove up, and, assisted
by the third man, the trunk was loaded
into the wagon. The two men followed
the trunk and directed Woodruff, who cont
tinued as the driver, to drive eastward to
the lake, and in its depths the trunk and
its contents would have been deposited
had not the interruption come from ths
Lake View policemen.
