TOO SMART DETECTIVES.

in the Office of the Trans Missouri Rail
way Association. He formerly Travelled
for the st. Paul and Kansas City rail
road. On the 18th day of last April he
was in Chicago on business for the Chi
cago, ST. Paul and Kansas City Com
pany. and he registered his name as w
G. Melville at McCoy's Hotel, in tina
city. Chicago detectives learned tha
John J. Maroney, the Irishmen who il
supposed to have been one OF the muir
derers of Cronip, had registered at the
hotel about April 10th, anC
they examined the register, anC
after comparing the alleged specimen

had written the wv. G. Melville" Tn,
detectives also discovered that Thoma
Desmond, the Irish Nationalist, of Sal

POLITICAL ANIMUs AT WORK.
New YORK, June IA -Maroney told a
Mail and Express reporter today that he
never had photograph ofhimself. He and
his friends allege that the arrests made
here, are simply for the purpose of de-
s'roying Alexander Sullivan and possibly
of rejecting upon Hon. Patrick Egan. The
Maroney Clan Ma Gael men say that Luke
Dlllon's object in Chicago is not to find
the murderers of Cronin, but to drag
Sullivan in the mire and make him 30
notorious that President Harrison will
not appoint him to public office. They
allege that Dillon's actions are directed
from New York City, and that John De.
