Ills first repulsion and mastered his
feelings sufficiently made a very careful
examination it. "There can be no doubt

said. Il know it hey ond oil question" and
he wiped tear from his eye as he said So
mo, don't know how he was killed, or
why and am leaving oil the arrang a,mente

f'1ends shall stay here until he is buried

The most sensational episode of yes
terday was the voluntary surrender OF
+. o. Sullivan, tho ice-man. He walked
into the station shortly after 8 o'clock and
told Captain Wing that he was ready to
go into custody. He was taken down
stairs and Captain Wing followed Soon
Lieutenant Spengler went down and was
closeted with his superior and Mr. Sulli-
van. The three men talked together for
nearly half an hour, and then Sullivan
was released upon his own recognizance,
agreeing. however, to remain under the
surveillance OF the otficers He will
be permitted to attend to his bust
ness as usual but will be
watched all the time by the
Lake View policemen. The only thing that
cause the officers to believe that Mr. Sui
livan is in some way implicated is the fishy
story told by Justice Mahoney about the
contract for physicians attendance said to
have been made by Sullivan with Dr.
Cronin and the fact that Cronin was sum-
nloned on the night OF his disappearance to
| attend a supposed wounded man at Sulli-
| vans house.
The police did nothing Thursday to cast
light on the dark mystery So far rs captur-
ing any one who might know any thing of
the foul means adopted in consummating
the ''removal' OF Cronin the police have
accomplished nothing Indeed, Cronin' 8
friends are going 10 ignore the Chicago po-
lice in the investigations they propose to
| prosecute.
The case has been placed in the hands Of
Detective William Pinkerton, and the work
OF ferreting out the actual conspirators is
now being pushed. There are three sus-
poets. Two OF them are under surveillance

soclated with the foul murder as to be able

leading conspirators who, while they prob
ably took no hand in the actual assassina-
ton, gave it their Endorsement if not their

! Sullivan, the ice-man, is closely shad-
owed, and Justice Mahoney, who intro
duced Sullivan to DR.. Cronin, is Il so under
surveillance. The latter made a statement
to States Attorney ngenecker in which
he said that the introduction of the two
men was brought about by q chance meet
ing. and that so far rs he knew Sullivan
only took advantage of it to close a profit

services, Mahoney denies any knowledge

with the murder.

days after Cronin's disappearance, said:
''Show me DR.. Cronins body and will show

tertay that he could point out the doctors
assassins, but he did say: II think l can find
them, and propose to devote my life in

Money is rapidly pouring into the fund
now being accumulated for the purposes
OF Investigation, and the promoters of
the investigation say there will be
eSO,ooo easily raised for the cause
They appear determined to so to bedrock
for facts, and the result of their
investigation is awaited with keen impa-
thence, as the general impression is that
facts peculiarly startling and sensational
will be sprung.
Mr.. John F. Scanlan has written a card
explanatory of declarations he has made
regarding his opinions ON the Cronin
case Flo says lie did not say that
the murder was committed by an
reorganization" or by "enemies among
Irish Nationalists," nor did he say that
| he could put his hands Oh the
utility parties. Nh. Seaman further says
that neither DR.. Cronin nor his friends
ever intimated any thing about shortage
in the land league funds. He promises to
give the authorities all the information he
has to aid in bringing Dr. Cronin's murder
ers to Justice.
