In five minutes any impartial man can
understand that Mr.. Sullivan has been
as clear from misd0ing as sunbeam"
Mr.. Sullivan was seen this evening by
q reporter to whom he said that he had
not formally retained Mr.. Trude, but
had counseled with him as friend.
ANY NUMBER OF RUMORS
are afloat tonight regarding the course
that will be taken by States Attorney
Longenecker when the grand jury reas-
sembles tomorrow morning. One is to
the effect that he will at once take up
that branch of the investigation relat-
land league funds, and that the books
OF the Traders bank will be submitted to
the body for examination. In another
quarter it is said that the official is look
ing into the Canadian end of the mystery
and that the grand jury may be asked
to find indictments for conspiracy to
murder against COughlin, Sullivan,
Woodruff and also long, the Toronto
reporter. In this event an effort would
he made to secure the extraditiOn of the
latter, although it is admitted
that it is doubtful whether this could
be accomplished unless more evidence
is forthcoming than the authorities now
have in hand. The states attorney Is
thoroughly convinced that the dis
patches and interviews with Cronin
from that city were portion of the
plot rather than flake" with mercen-
airy motives, and he believes that il
Long could be gotten into the sweat
box the entire conspiracy might be
exposed. Still another report is that
he has obtained the names of the prin-
cipal officers Of the local Clan-na-Gael
camps, and more particularly of the
North side one, i'll which, according to
the now prevailing opinion, the death
of DR.. CrOnin was decreed and that
these men will be brought face to face
with the grand jury and subjected to an
inquisition. 1t is the general opinion at
police headquarters that
FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
will occur before the end Of the week.
Meanwhile there is a good deal Of
speculation as to. what has been ac-
compiished by the Pinkerton agency,
which has been employed by Cronins
friends to sift the matter to the bottom
regardless of expense. The officers Of
the agency are as dumb as oysters,
while W. P. Rend. the treasurer
of the committee to whom the
reports are made, is equally nom
communicative. People very close TO
the latter. however, significantly sug-
gest that the agency has the key to the
mystery, and that it will be but few
days before the world will be trea ted to
a startling sensation. 1t is admitted
that nearly a score of operatives.
some of them brought here
from Philadelphia and New YORK,
are on the case and these familiar with
the record of the agency are confident
that some of this number are bound to
strike the right lead. "For all you or I
may know" said u prominent Irtshman
tonight, ''they may already have peo-
pie at their headquarters whom they
have reason to suspect Of completely in
the crime. Such things have happened
before and are nothing foreign to their
methods"
FOUND HIS CLOTHES.
A rumor was circulated early in the
afternoon that the police had succeeded
in finding the clothes of DR.. CrOnin.
This appears to have been not without
authenticity. Little credence was at
first given to this report, which, like
so many other rumOrS, appeared
to be without definite origin, but Lieut..
Ross is authority for the statement that
Cronin's clothes were really found this
afternoon and recognized as the prop
erty of the murdered man. Inference
is drawn that they were found in or
around Sullivan's house, as a
squad Of detectives are known
to have devoted nearly all Of to-
day in seaching the premises of the ice
dealer. The officer in charge of the
squad, in response to casual inquiries.
stated at the time that no discover
les had been made, but Chief Hubbard,
when confronted with later reports to-
night, refused to either affirm or deny
the statement that the murdered mans
apparel had been found. AS the au-
thOrities have usually lost no time in
.denouncing unfounded rumors, the con-
clusiOn is that to-day has at least wit
messed the disclosure Of one valuable
clue to the whole mystery that sur
rounds the fate of the murdered doctor.
ANOTHER ARREST.
A new arrest has been made in the
Cronin case. and the police think the
prisoner may be the man who drove the
white horse rig which conveyed the
doctor to his death. The arrest was
made in lodging house, the
records of which show that on
the night of the murder the man
did not put in an appearance until
1910 a. m. He had expressed fear q
number of times since that he would
get into trouble in the Cronin matter,
and tried to persuade the clerk to change
record of the hour at which he returned.
He is known by the sobriquet OF
'Mack."
