SEVEN INDICTMENTS,
That 10 What is Looked For From the
Cronin Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, June 29.-The Times this morning
says: 1T is believed that seven indictments
will be returned, and that the men pronounced
guilty of DIR. Cronin's murder or parties to the
conspiracy to murder him, will be: Alexander
Sullivan Martin Burke, Patrick Cooney, John
+. Beggs. Daniel Coughlin, Patrick OSullivan
and Frank Woodruff. There is some gossip
around the corridors of the courthouse to the
effect that Alexander Sullivan's conviction will
be assured by not indicting him; that no bill
will be found against him in order to show the
others what dupes they have been. 1t is rea-
soned that when the others see the gallows
preparing for them, while Alexander Sullivan
walks the streets free man, they will out of
their bitterness against the discrimination,
confess all they know.
FITzGERALD's SUDDEN DEPARTURE
John Fitzgerald, the Irish land-leaguer Of
Nebraska came to the city Thursday with the
avowed intention of staying at least a week.
He made appointments to that effect but sud-
denly yesterday afternoon he picked up his
baggage and left the city, saying nothing about
his intentions. 1t was suspected that Mr.. Fitz-
gerald came here to see Alexander Sullivan,
but he denied any such purpose when he was
seen for a moment yesterday in the Grand Pa
cifc. 1t is stated that Pinkerton detectives
shadowed the Nebraskan during his stay in the
city, and it may be are still on his trail
Ever since the investigation into the murder
of DIR. Cronn began there has been a persist
ent search for a policeman who appeared at
Dinans livery stable late ON the night of DR..
Cronln's death and inquired if all the horses
were in. 1t was at Dinan's stable, and on
the order Of Detective Coughlin, that the
horse and buggy were secured in which Cronin
was decoyed to his death. 1t was a natural
supposition that the policeman who in
quired whether the horses were all in had
this particular horse in mind and that he was.
therefore, implicated in the crime. The Times
this morning says that John Delaney, lookup
keeper at the East Chicago-avenue station.
which is about a block distant from Dinan's
stable. is the man. 1t bases this statement
on the allegations that Delaney is member Of
the notorious No. 20 Clan-na-Gael; that he is
an intimate friend of Dan Coughlin, and that he
has been identified by Dinan's hostler as the
man in question. The paper says that Delaney,
when questioned about the matter, made a ner-
vous denial of its truth. but showed signs of
breaking down.
Burke's Case I'm Winnipeg.
WINSREG, MAN, June 29-Assistant States
Attorney Baker arrived yesterday and was
closeted all the afternoon and part Of the
evening with II. NJ Howell, who has been going
over the evidence to see that il is in proper
form. The examination will be finished to-
day and all will be in readiness for the trial
Tuesday.
1t is quite possible that Burke may not
be brought back before October. He has If
teen days in which to appeal to the full courts
The July term of the queens bench ends the
second Thursday in July. The next term
begins the last Thursday in September. III the
present proceedings do not end at least fifteen
days before the second Thursday in July the
case will go over to September, unless appeal
is waived. Appeal will not be waived unless SO
strong case is made that it would be useless
to appeal. Consequently it is quite possible
that Burke will remain here till October.
