President FitzgersId's Reply to a Man who

CHICAGO, June 15.-The special grand
jury in the CrOnin case began its fourth
days session this morning. The indicA-
tions are that several days will be con-
sumed ere the jury is prepared to make
final report. Miss Annie Murphy reiter-
ated TO the jury her Oft-told tale about hav-
ing seen DIR. Cronin on a street car, appar-
entity bound for the depot at the time when,
as subsequent events indicate, he was cold
in death. Miss Murphy still insists that
the man she saw was Cronin, or his ghost
and adheres emphaticaliy to all the details
of her original story. Thomas G. Windes.

A Letter from Fitzgerald.
CHICAGO, June 15.-P. W. Dunno, of
Pekin, ILL.,, formerly Of Chicago, received a
letter, to-day, in response 10, as he says,
"a request for the president of the Irish
National League of America TO speak out
publicly" Dunno claims to be the person
who originated the charges against Alex.
Sullivan. He expresses dissatisfaction
with the tone of the letter from President
Fitzgerald, intimating IL is not so radical
as was desired. FiiZgerald's letter is as
follows: members of the Irish National
Land League of America are law abiding
citizens of the United States and hold muir
der as much in adherence as any other
element of the community can possibly do.
Honest men are not necesstated TO protest
their honesty, and the league has no need
to protest its horrors Of murder. None but
those whose wish is father to the thought
would for an instant couple the name Of
the Irish National League of America with
a crime of any kind. much less with the
deplorable tragedy of which your city has
been the theater- There is, therefore, no
necessity for protests or apologies of anv
kind from the Irish National League of
America in connection with the murder of
DIR. Cronin. A foul crime has been COM
mitted, the laws of the country have be- n
outraged, and IL is the duty Of the officers
of the law TO find and punish the Grim
inals.N
