A NOVEL CASE OF HYPNOTIsM.
THREE MORE INDICTMENTS.
What Is Expected From the Croniu
Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-The special grand jury
will finish its labors on the Cronin case to-mor-
row, when it will probably return at least three
more indictments. The parties in question
are said to be Alexander Sullivan, John F.
Beggs and Patrick Cooney. There has been
much talk abont an omnibus indictment against
Camp No. 20, but no such action will be taken.
The course of the grand jury will be conserva-
tive as far as indictments 60. The report will
be strong and viii strike at the Clan ma Gael in
vigorous fashion. 1t was feared some days ago
that the jury would not be able to finish its
labors at this term, on account of the failure to
produce stronger evidence connecting Alex
ander Sullivan with the case. The grand
jurors are morally certain that he is implicated,
but the legal evidence was lacking. 1t appears
that such evidence has been forthcoming dur
ing the last two days, and that it came from a
''squealer."
PART OF THE SAME CONSPIRACY.
Referring to the anonymous articles, dis
patches, DC, that have appeared in the press
for the past few weeks, saying that this and
that person does not believe DIR. Cronin dead
prominent member of the Cronin committee
said yesterday: "They are inspired by the same
source as was the conspiracy to kill DR.. Cronin
and they are circulated throughout the country
Tor the purpose Of preparing the public for
one Of the main points that the defense will
attempt to make at the trial.
The defense will raise the point that the
death of DIR. Cronin has not been proved; that
the body was not positively Unidentified; and
that the fact that the doctors clothes would
have been discovered in England Just before
the trial began would, had not that part of the
scheme already been nipped in the bud by the
press, tend to give color TO the theory"
Several members of the Cronin committee
and friends of the doctor were spoken to on
this subject, and each gave it as his opinion

circulate rumor that DIR. Cronin is not dead
was the correct one.
