CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Three new sus-
poets were arrested by the police this
afternOon for alleged completely in the
murder of DR.. Cronin. The greatest
mystery prevails around the criminal
court building, where the men are con-
fined, and neither S ate's Attorney
LOngeneckeT, his assistants, nor the po-
hee will say anything about the men in
uStody. The first intimation of
he important proceedings were
given by the states attorney
n Judge McCOnneHS court
room at O'clock this afternoon, when
Judge Longenecker asked that court to
djourn until tomorrow. lie said that
he had important business regarding
some new developments Of the case and
would be busy. Judge Mcconnell
granted the request. Chief of Police
Hubbard, Capt. Scheuttler, Judge
Longenecker and Attorneys Mills and
ingh3m at once went to the states at
torney's Office, where they held long
consultation behind closed doors. Chief
hubbard and Capt. Schuettler finally
came out. The former went into
the jail and had a long talk
with prisoner named Gilligan.
Capt Scheuttler went away with
some detectives, but soon returned with
two prisoners, and bailIff came shortly
afterwards with a third. All were at
once placed under arrest and locked up
in the state attorneys and bdIlitf' s
Offices, and were watched by detectives
as double pTecaution. The men we're
taken separately in Judge Longeneck-
tr's private Office, where, it is learned, a
stenographer took down their state
ments. The states attorney absolutely
refuses to talk, saying that he does not
wish to spoil his case, and that no in
formation will be. allowed to get out I'M
till Tomorrow.
Chief Hubbard left the private Office
at midnight. but refused to say a word
to reporters. He soon returned, accom-
panied by man bearing good supply
of sandwiches, etc. This would indi-
cate that the secret session is to
be continued through the night.
About l o'clock Assistant States
Attorney Scaplan came in, bringing a
Young woman who was hurried into the
Office. By some it was thought the
woman was Mrs. Tom Whalen, eX-De-
tective Coug as sister. A little later
two detectives arrived with a
short, thicl-set man, apparently
an Irishman. This makes nine
arrests since this morning.
Two stories are current late tonight,
one that some new and most important
Information bearing On the case has
been obtained, and the other that the
matter under investigation was no less
than case of jury fixing. The
party giving the information claimed
to have heard one of the officers
make remark that would
support such theory. That there has
been great apprehension of chung
Jury" by the state is not to be denied.
Whether any of the eight men now
sworn IN as jurors in the Cronin case is
under suspicion could not be learned,
but such was intimated.
At 1889 p. M. seven men were in the
states attorneys office, presumably I'M
dergOing examination. AT this hour
Attorney Mills came cut, and to the
score of waiting reporters reiterated the
statement made by the states attorney
that no information whatever would
Oe given out.
