CnIcAoo, June l3-'rhe principal In
terest in the Croniu ease was centered
tbls morning in the grand jury that met
at 10 a. II. in Judge Shepard's court.
The strict order OF secrecy which was
instituted Yesterday was in no wise de-
parted from. A bailitI stood guard at
the foot oi the stairs below the jury
room. and no ono but witnesses and
orlcers Of the cour! were allowed to
ascend 10 the floor above. In accordance
with the general summons issued various
witnesses arrived early on the scene,
Mrs ConklIn aud John ], Cronin were
the first to make an appearance, the for
mer leaning upon the arm Of the mur.
dered mans brother The Carlsous,
father and son, came next, and were fol.
lowed by Captain Schuettler and Pat
Dinan, the liyCryman. Luke Dillon and
P.W. Dunn spent few minutes In the
Jury room, but only to give suggestions
as 10 the propriety oisummoning certain
gentlemen who might supply missing
links in the chain OF Circumstantial
evidence.
Matiinson, the expressman who haul
ed the furniture TO the Carlson cottage,
and the bartender who found the bloody
trunk after it had been abandoned by
WOodTutIand llisaCCOmpliCes, were both
escorted to the jury room by an accom-
moiating bailitl.
Mrs. Conklin was tho first witness
who testified, and she occupied the chair
about twenty minutes. Her testimony
was only a repetition Of that which has
been many times published, except that
she attempted minuts description Of
the man who, by means OF the ice mans
card, dccoycd Cronin TO his death on
May Tile description, so far US Mrs,
Conklin's memory extended, Tailed per.
iecty with the published description oil
Mcdonald, the blacksmith, now under
arrest in New York.
The remainder Of the jury's investiga.
ton during the forenoon was singularly
devoid Of interest. Pat Dinan, the
liveryman, took the stand, repeated his
oft told story and was excused, His evil
dence varied in no wise from his testi.
mony before the Coroner's Jury. Old
man Carlson, the owner OF the death
cottage, detailed the particulars OF the
renting OF the property, and was re-
quired to tax his memory to Its utmost
for o faithful description Of the parties
who took possession OF the house and
whose identity is now SO eagerly desired
by The Chicago police. He became
slightly confused in his story, however,
and shed but little light upon tho scene.
Ills son was next called 10 the stand
and his evidence was some better. His
description Of Williams, Tailed in many
respects with that OF John ]. Maroney,
the dapper cOCknCy lriShman whom the
New York police now have In custody,
and Chief Hubbard feels hopeful that
these two will turn out to bG one and
theame, CaptainSChuettler was on hand
all the forenoon and was called In once
or twice to enlighten the jury as TO the
scope and result Of bis investigation In
certain particulars.
All witnesses examined during the
afternoon had previously testified at the
Coroners inquest. II was understood
that they simply repeated the statements
they made ut the inquest. The Jury nd
iOurncd at p. m. until tomorrow.
Chief Hubbard made his appearance
in citizens dress and was alive 10 all new
developments Of interest.
