How Cronin Was Murd cred.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, November "A special
from Winnipeg this morning says: As
sistant States Attorney Baker, of Chica-
go, had long interview with Bob Heffer
yesterday, the man who was in prison
with Bourk, and from him received a
confederation of many Of the details con-
nected with the butchery of Cronin which
Gillette recounted on Thursday. Bourk,
according to Gillette, took quite fancy
to Heffer at first, and was very communi-
cative with him, telling him many details
about the crime. He told Heffer that
Coughlin was the main actor in the crime
He told Hcffer that sandbags were used
by two of the assassins, while the third
welded a common base ball club. Bourk
was under the impression that CrOnin was
being decoyed to the cottage under the
pretext that ne was going to attend the
woman mentioned in yesterdays dis
patches. -Four men were waiting in the
cottage for him. They listened for the
sound of wheels. At last the carnage
drove up, and an instant later the doctor
hurried up to. the door. He knocked
loudly and hastily, as if he realized that
his presence was urgently required.
Two of the assassins stood behind the
door, ready to strike, while one OF the
others from the inner room called out in
loud voice: "Come In" The door was
quickly opened and the doctor strobe in.
The instant he was in one of the assasslns
slammed the door, while the other struck
the physician terrible blow with sand
bag. The doctor fell heavily to the floor.
Bourk always declined to say who
struck the first blow, and this fact, Mr..
Baker says, makes it quite clear that it
was Bourk himself, else he would have
mentioned the name. He always spoke
about the four taking part in the crime
and pounding the doctor at the same
time. The moment the doctor was down
the whole four rushed on him, and with
sandbags and clubs pounded the life out
of him. The poor man struggled and
moaned awfully. Blood poured from his
mouth and nose and even his eyes. He
struggled and gasped for breath, and
nearly twenty minutes elapsed before he
ceased to gasp. Then the fiends stripped
the blood-stained clothing off him, and
one of them pounded his face so as to
make it impossible to recognize the body.
Coughlin hauled the trunk over and the
body was crammed into it. One of the
quartette went out and brought an ex-
press wagon, which had been left in a
convenient place. When they went to
carry the trunk out blood was dripping
from it, and it ran on the floor and on
some of their boots. The trunk was set
down and the leaks in the trunk stopped
with cotton batting. which was found in
the doctcr's instrument-case. The trunk |
and its contents were then taken to the |
lake. Coughlin driving the horse. There
was no boat at that point, and they tried |
10 shove the trunk out into the water,
but it would not work. Anxious to get
lid of the body some way, Bourke sug-
gested that it be thrown into a catch
basin. The suggestion was adopted.

First Breath of Thanksgiving.

(bOSLOn bouriet.1
Let winds blow cold, let winds blow high,
Let days be dark and drear,
Who cares? Thanksgiving drawing

A time of mirth and cheer.
What though we burn wood by the cord
And weather phrophets croak?
S con on the groaning festive board
The turkey, stuffed, will smoke.
Then something to the poor we'll spare
Who're always with us here
And we'll forget all grief and care
To give thanksgiving cheer.

makers Case.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81, 1sS9.-What is
known as the Mentone Dressmaker's case
has been settled to the satisfaction OF the
United States Government and all the
other parties concerned. Mentone is a
village in France. Miss Van Hostran, of
Newburg, N Y, and two friends, while
travelling in France stopped at Mentone,
and while there ordered some dresses from
dressmaking establishment.
The dresses were not finished at the
specified time, but the ladies waited some
time longer, and finally left Mentone
without the dresses. They were arrested
in neighboring town and thrown into
prison on complaint of the dressmakers,
who claimed payment for the dresses.
The case was brought to the attention of
Minister Reid, who communicated the
facts to Secretary Blaine.
Mr.. Reid was instructed to make full
investigation of the circumstances in the
case, and the result he sent to the State
Department Mr.. Blaine demanded sat
isfaction, and the matter has been settled
by an apology to the Government and the
ladies by the French Government, which
also administered reprimand to the Off
Gals concerned in the arrest.
