THE CRONIN CASE.
Another ssConfesstonr from Wood
ruff-SChaack Suspeuded.


chicago, June 4.-The many contra
horse.thief, Woodruff, alias Black, re-
gardipg the Cronin mystery, were capped
this afternoon by brand new narrative
from him regarding the affair. During
the inquest, Police Captain Setback,
who was on the witness stand, had
testified as to the investigation
which followed the arrest of Woodruff for
horse.stealing, and retold the whole of
Woodrutf's varied stories about the men
who. he claimed, were named King and
Fairburn, and the carrying off OF the
woman's body in the trunk. When the
Captain was asked if he had any recent
conversation with Woodruff, he said :
Woodruff sent for me the day the Grand
Jury was in session on the case, and we
went together into private room
at the jail. Woodruff went on to say
that there were good many things he
had not told about the case. He con.
tinued by saying that he was in saloon
one afternoon with King and Fairburn,
when strange man entered and took
King aside. Woodruff said the man had
big roll of money, and that he gave
some to King and more to Fairburn.
They went out together, and the
strange man left them at the door. After
he had gone, Woodruff said that he asked
King who it was, and King said: "That
is LAWYER Alex. Sullivan" Captain
Setback added, in reply to jurors ques.
ton, that the next day after Woodruff
had been indicted for horse. stealing, he
sent word that he would not talk any
more.
The Daily News says this evening,
that Woodruff this morning declared: 81
am not going to get the worst OF it, al
though there are people trying to give it
to me. l amt an Irish Catholic, and |
suppose the Irish will try to give me the
worst of it, but they had better look out,
if | find they are trying to do that, I'll
make some of them think hades is not
more than five minutes Distant"
Captain Setback was suspended from
duty tonight by Chief Hubbard for
alleged dereliction of duty in the Cronin
case. This action was taken after
Schaack's examination before the Cor
oner's jury and is announced to be
based upon SChaack' g neglect to summon
persons other than Mrs. Conklin to iden-
tify the famous white horse rig, and for
not inquiring into the whereabouts of
Detectives Coughlin and Whalen on the
night of May 4th.
Chief Hubbard tonight, in an inter-
view, after the suspension, charged that
Schsack's course in the Cronin matter
was due to the fact that, in the efforts
which had been made by Setback, he
had found powerful friend in Alexan-
der Sullivan, and, in one case at least,
Sullivan had saved Setback his rank and
star as Captain.
