 CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Less than one mile south of the catch basin into which Cronin's butchered remains were jammed, the murdered physicians clothes and medical instruments were found late yesterday afternoon. The disposition of these things had been an impenetrahle mystery to the police, and is likely to produce clews that may re- suit in such evidence of the guilt of some of the suspects as to preclude all possibility of their escape from justice. Upon complaint that the sewer was l clogged, Michael Gilbert, of the Lake View Water Department, started out to l locate the difficulty, accompanied by | Michael Rees, an assistant. Everything was found clear until basin near the | corner Of Euena and Evenston avenues 1 was reached. The water having been 1 dipped out, Gilbert noticed something 1 at the bottom, and ordered Rees to in- | vestigate. Lowering himself into the manhole Rees pulled up big valise, covered w:.h slime and rotting away at the edges. Within was spring over l dcrshirt- The clothes were very bloody and badly torn. A Aleather-covered case | of instrum ents was also in the valiSe, the scanls routed and the sharp points protruaing therefrom at both ends. l IT. Cronln's Property.
 In the inside coat pocket was a small medical book, sort of encyclopedia, and prescription book. Between it's pages were half-dozen cards inscribed l lI iy nd office addresses and hours for business. 1 A large box of splints, fourteen inches long, that he carried with him on the fatal night was also found, as was hy- podermic syringe.
 The clothes were cut in such man. ner as to show they had been hastily slashed from the corpse. Even the collar was ut to pieces.
 The clo.' es and other things were taken to he Central Station, where N,>. t> n in pronounced everything : "4l a, being property of Dr. Crontn. .e clothes were then taken to the .hicago avenue station, where they are :. i prescription book were taken poses s'rn of V Judge Longenecker.

 Before being taken to the Chicago a enc >t;t:on the clothes were taken to the Criminal Court Building. pa trol wagon and twenty officers rushing through tho streets at furious speed caused agreat crowd to gather about the place. The news of the find spread rapidly, and while all eyes were upon the wagon and it's covered contents a young German named Edward Rohm broke through, and, clim ping upon the wheels of the wagon, attempted to lift the covering. He was showed away by an officer. and, stepping back into the thronv. pulled out a revolver and sent a bullet into his head. The poor fellow, 1t was learn'd, was harmless i'm mbecile, baker by occupation, but the excite ment had made him madman. , Testimony Before the Court. Captain Schuetter took the witness chair and told the conversation between Captain Schaak and O'Sullivan, in . which the latter admitted the contract between him and Dr. Cronin, and also that he lO'Sullivan) had telephoned Coughlin to inform him about man named Kunze and a horse.
 
 y lice officer, and Mills, tho discharged , jail prisoner, whom the attorneys for , the Sta.e believed would come to Chi ca:o. are still in Winnipeg. and neither 1. has signified his intention to come here. Telesrams urging them to come have
 been sent by Judge Longenecker every day this week, but tor some reason
 they have been treated with silence.
 Woodruff, the horse thief. is to be :. disappointed again. The States At v torneys have concluded after great deal of argument that he is not the sort t of witness calculated to keep in Sc 8 important case as the Cronin trial, sc he will not be placed on the stand to re.
 hearse the many fairy tales with which
 he regaled the public. The chances
 are he will never be tried for any
 thing more desperate than stealing !, Dinan's horse and wagon.
 t A motion to release Alexander Sul !. livan from the bail bond of $25, ,OO0 t was resisted by the State and the hear s ing was set for this afternoon. 7. Princely Gift t.. Johns Hopkins University
