'What are your latest developments
in the Cronin case?n Chief Hubbard was
asked at 10 o'clock tonight. I'VE have
discovered nothing new of Importance
this afternoon" he answered. Most Of
the day has really been spent in
putting all the evidence together
in consecutive order, In endeavOr-
ing to pick out the missing links. 1t is
a deep case, a very deep case," and the
"TheSe Irish societies are so cemented
in their interior relations and so secre-
tive in their actions that it is almost im-
possible to ferret ut any information in
regard to them. There have been
various rumors as to the murder
OF men who have been placed
under arrest" allow many indi-
viduals are there really at this time
under arreSt?" ''Only three, and those
three are the men who are under in
dictment. 1t is true there are several
others practically under arrest, under
surveillance, but there are only three
actually under arrest. / don't know
when any other arrests will take place."
Lieut.. Schuettler, OF the Larrabee

They worked for nothing. The cot

Brink, Lorch, Hiott, Jameson, Hedrick
and Hirsch, in the basement, dug up
the ground underneath the flooring to
the depth of a foot or two and
searched every crack and crevice
about the windows. beams, sink
and coal bin without discovering a
trace of anything that might have be-
longed to Cronin. Lieut.. Schuettler
fastened candle on the end of a string
and lowered it through the wall spaces
from the attic to the floor beams below.
The chimney and fiues were searched
as we'll as every shelf and
closet on the ground floor. Sew

Peter McGeehan. the Philadelphia
suspect, talking this evening to re-
porter, said that several days ago he
was taken by detective to see Mrs.
Conklin. She first said Mcclellan was
not the man vino called for the doctor.
Then her husband came in and the de-
tective introduced Mcclellan IN form.
Immediately upon hearing the name,
Mrs. Conklin again surveyed Nc
Geehan again. and declared positively
that he was the man who lured the
doctor away. McGeehan said: II

ing mans life away. COnklin has
stories about Inc that [ shall call him to
legal account for. Dinan, the livery
man, says do not answer the descrip-
ton of the man wanted. The police
now know that l had nothing to do
with the case I believe that the plot,
conspiracy, or whatever you please to
call it, was purely personal matter and
that the right clue has not yet been
struck, or if found, has not been pub

Notwithstanding Chief Hubbard's
statement, it was reported tonight with
great positiveness that two other
Cronin suspects are in Jail. The pair

adjournment was taken at the sugges-

who was of the opinion that the taking
of evidence in public might hamper the
police in their work of investigating
