CHICAGO May 81. - DR.. Cronin's
clothes have been found, andEanother
link forged in the chain of evidence
that surrounds the murder. The first
clue was obtained by the finding of the
drawers by Sol Hamburger and Eddie
Briesch, two little boys of Lakeview.
Louis Hamburger, the eighteen-year-old
brother of the first-named lad, then
notified the police, and conducting
Lieut.. Schuettler to the mouth of the
Fifty-ninth street sewer, instituted a
search. which resulted in the unearth-
ing of the murdered physician's
pants, coat, shirt and undershirt.
They were buried over foot
under ground, and were only dis
covered by probing i'll the sand with
sharp sticks. The shirt bore the name
of the unfortunate doctor, and the other
articles were readily recognized as a
portion of his apparel. The pants. in
places, were deeply stained with blood.
Strange to say, however, the physicians
vest was missing, and in its place was
vest of much coarser material, contain
ing in the pockets five pennies and
cigar. This garment presumably be-
longed to one of the murderers OF &C
completes. For this reason the police
are using every effort to suppress the
discovery, hoping that Cronin's vest
may be discovered in the possession OF
ONE OF THE MCRDERERS.
Considerable Importance is attached
to the fact that when the drawers were
first discovered by the little boys a
couple of strangers appeared Oh the
spot and ordered them to destroy the
garment and throw away the pieces.
was thought of the matter until the
elder brother was casually Informed Of
the circumstance. Both these men were
strangers in the locality. The residence
of the Carlsons was carefully searched
by the police to-day, but nothing OF
suspicious nature discovered. The
people of LaKeview are demanding that
the sewer in which Cronin's body was
found be searched from the catchbasin
to the lake. They think it possible his
tools and hat and overcoat might be
discovered in it, but as the aperture is
only three and half feet in diameter
the police are chary about facing the
dangers of sewer gas. 1t is probable,
however, mat the sewer Will De CO-lnOf-
row thoroughly flushed at least. 1t is
reported upon apparently reliable
authority thata blood-stained spade was
also discovered near the spot where the
clothing was found, but the police give
this as emphatic denial as they have
the many other important discoveries
which were subsequently substantiated.
LONG CONFERENCE
rnded this evening between w. j.
Hynes, Luther Latin Mills, States At
torney Longenecker and Supt. Hub
bard. At the close of the meeting
Mayor Cregier also was present, and
went away with Hubbard and Longe-
necker, the states attorney said that no
arrests were in immediate contempla-
ton. The private papers of DR.. Cronin
have been in the possession of Mr.. Mil
Ter. who is engaged in the task of look
Ing through them for clues. His task
is not completed. but report was made
by him Oh the work up to this date.
The Daily News says: 1t can not be
truthfully said that the police appear to
be on the eve of great discoveries at the
conclusion of the conference Coroner
Hertz visited the other gentlemen while
they were in consultation, but whatever
business he had did not require long to
transact.
