CHICAGO, May 2S.-Detectives Daniel
%Coughlan, Patrick o. Sullivan, the ice
man, and Frank ]. Black, alias Woodruff,
we're indicted by the grand jury, this
evening, for the murder Of DR.. Cronin.
This result was reached after the investi-
cation, which began at noon, and lasted
seven hours, during which two dozen wit
nesses were examined and a mass of evi.
dence considered. The three prisoners
we're included in one Indictment, to which
there we're three counts, one charging them
with killing DR.. Cronin with a blunt instru.
ment, the second alleging the use OF a sharp
instrument; and the third, instruments
and means unknown" Nc evidence vas
introduced
TO sHow CONSPIRACY,
and DR.. Cronin's private papers were not
placed before the grand jury. The witnesses
who were called were those whose stories
have been told by the press.
State attorney Longenecker thought it
advisable to tighten the coils, which the
three prisoners already been drawn,
and fasten them with indictments, prOba.
bly, to prevent an attempt to secure the re-
lease OF one or more OF them on bail.
The grand jury took only one vote after
bearing the witness, and that q unanim-
Gus for the indictment Of all three OF the
prisoners.
States Attorney L~ongenicker said, to-
right, that no mention OF the Clan-Na g ,el
affairs had been made in the jury room on
the charge Of conspiracy. DR.. Cronin's
papers will be taken up later, probably be-
lore another grand jury.
DENIED.
Iceman Sullivan and police officials de-
clare that the statement published this
morning to the effect that he had made a
Confession laying bare the entire details of
the plot for the murder of DR.. Cronin. is
false. An afternoon paper processes to
have information to the effect that nothing
like q sweeping confession was secured from
him.
An admission, it is said, was obtained
that one OF the men who hired Carlson cot
tage had sought work from him and had
been frequently about his place; that he
told this young man OF the terms OF the
contract with Cronin, and that the young
man could have secured ono of his cards il

one Of S%ullivan's cards a used to lure DIR.
