A SCHOOL OF SUSPECTS.
Tho Cronin Drag Net Makes n Big


CHICAGO, Oct, 1l.-Three new suspects
were arrested by the police this afternoon
for alleged completely in the murder of DIR.
Cronin. The greatest mystery prevails
around the criminal court building where
the men are confined. The first in Information Of
the important proceedings were given BY the
states attorney i'll Judge McConnell's court
room at o'clock this afternoon, when Judge
Longenecker asked that the court adjourn
until tomorrow, He SAID he had important
business regarding some new developments
of the case and he would be busy Judge
Mcconnell granted the request. Chief of
Police Hubbard, Captain Schuttler Juuge
Longenecker and attorneys Miller an
lngrahm at once went to the states attor-
ney's Office where they held long consulta-
tion behind closed doors. The three pris-
oners were shortly after taken to the states
attorneys office, and others We're brought in
during the afternoon aud evening. The ut
most secrecy was preserved by everyone in
authority.
AT 80 tonight seven men were In the
states attorneys office, probably undergoing
examination. AT that hour Attorney Mills
came out, and TO a score of waiting reporters
reiterated the statement made by the states
attorney earlier in the evening, that abso-
lutely no information would be given out
until tomorrow. .
AT midnight Chief Hubbard emerged from
his private office and went out, but soon re-
turned with n man bearing goud As,4i
eatables. This would Indicate that tue re.
: cent session is to be an all night one. Soon
after an assistant to the states attorney
came in with young woman who
was hurried into the private Office
Some thought she was Mrs. Tom
Whalen, sister of eX-Detective Coughlln.
A little later two detectives appeared with
short, thick set man, apparently Irish, in
tow. This makes nine arrests to-day and
o-pight.
Many stories are afloat late tonight in re-
gard to the matter. One is that so me new
and exceedingly important information
in regard to the murder has
been discovered, the other is that
nothing less than jury-iXing has come to
light. The state, it is known, has had great
apprehensions of a hung jury, but whether
or not any of the eight men sworn in so far
have actually been approached could not be
definitely learned.
In the Cronin case to-day the
states attorney argued at length tho
motion of the defense for information as to
the residence Of the proposed witnesses for
the prosecution. He asserted the law was
fulfilled when the names alone were given,
and intimated that otherwise tho witnesses
would be ntericred with. The defense
stated that the mere names were useless for
purposes of investigation. Judge Mcconnell
ruled that the regular residence addresses
must be supplied, hut that the witness'
present whereabouts need not be disclosed

terrible sight as he died on net work of

pour out on the sidewalk and over the
clothes OF the Mortified spectators below
The mans face was turned toward the
walk. In fifteen minutes the wire had
burned of half of the face of the victim.
His left arm was also burning, and every
few seconds blue flames spurted out from
various parts of his body. Hundreds of
people stood shivering as they looked al the
awful sight overhead. No one dared to go
near him.
Immediately after the accident Mayor
Grant was notified. The mayor gave orders
that the carried current should be turned
off at once.
The body of the lineman was left on the
wires for more than half an hour, when IL
was taken down after the current had been
turned off. Coroner jenkins said If the
man had remained suspended in the air
much longer the head would have been
severed from the body.
