CHICAGO, May 31.-It is believed the
man "Mack," under arrest for supposed
complicity in the Cronin murder, is one
of the Williams brothers who hired the
Carlson cottage in which the deed was
done.
"MACK's" STORY TOLD.
An evening paper says that some valu.
able information in the Cronin case has
been gathered from "Mack," alias Will
lisms. who was arrested in a cheap
lodging house. Mack claims to be a
carpenter. He told the following story
On the End OF May he was working for a
Mrs. Wilson, on North Ashland avenue,
scarcely block from the Carlson cot
tage. Mack was putting in screen win
dows at the time. While he was at
work, lady, whose name he understood
to be Mrs. Dudley, came and began to
talk with Mrs. Wilson. Mack was in the
same room and he overheard every
word. Mrs. Dudley, who is a stout,
fieshy woman, was talking very
bitterly against physician who had at
tended her husband. Mack say he
heard the name of DR.. Cronin men,
toned, but he did rot know whether
the physician complained of was the
Cronin referred to or not. Mrs. Dudley
seemed very much excited, and fire..
quently made the remark, with great
spirit: 81 will get even with him."
Mrs. Dudley said she was working in the
| orphan asylum, on Burling street, but
that she was going to leave the asylum,
and that she daily expected to go to live
with her two brothers, in cottage near
by. Mrs. Dudley pointed in the direc-
ton OF the Carlson cottage in referring to
the place she was going to move into.
At the Chicago Nursery and Half Orphan
Asylum on Burling street, it was found
that Mrs. Dudley had been there, but
had since gone away.
1t is believed that Williams ia one of
the men who rented The Carlson cot
tage, that he is carpet-layer by trade,
and that he laid the carpet in the cot
tage.
"MAcK's" STORY DENIED.
Later tonight the police officials say
that they have learned "Mack's" real
name to be 9. E. Dudley. The sup
position is, be is the husband of woman
mentioned in his story. The police say
he was animated, in telling the story,
by desire to cause trouble for his wife,
who left him on account of his brutality
and drunkenness. They deny that they
have any evidence connecting "Mack"
with the case; but, in this connection, it
should be stated that little except
denials Of the stories made public by the
newspapers is obtainable from the police
for the past few days. They are very
secretive.
THE SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED.
This afternoon, ex-Detective Coughlin,
the :ce-ma Sullivan, and Frank Wood
ruff, alias Black, were arraigned before
Judge Williamson on charge of MUIR
Cering DR.. Cronin. Each of the men
entered formal plea of not guilty and
they were returned to Jail.
THE VICTIMS CLOTHING FOUND.
Late tonight it is learned that DIR.
Cronin's clothes have been found. The
first clue was obtained by the finding of
the underwear by children, as men
toned in these dispatches, several days
ago. The police began vigorously to
search for the remainder of the clothing,
and near the mouth of the Fifty-ninth
street sewer they unearthed the mur-
dered physicians pants, coat, shirt and
undershirt. They were buried over a
foot underground. The shirt bore the
name of the murdered doctor, and the
other articles were readily recognized as
portions of his apparel.
THE VEST MISSING.
Strange to say, however. the vest was
missing, and in its place was vest of
much coarser material. This garment
presumably belonged to one of the MUIR
derers or their accomplices. For this
reason the police are using every effort
to suppress their discovery, hoping that
Cronin's vest may be discovered in the
posse ssion of one of the murderers. The
pants were found deeply stained with
blood.
sTARKEY WANTED IN CHICAGO.
Late tonight it is said that the author
tiles have determined to apply for the
extradition of William j. Starkev (now
in Toronto), whose name has been fre-
quently mentioned in connection with
the case. The States Attorney, it is
said, has been reluctant to attempt the
extradition, owing to the clear relief into
which it throws his refusal to ask for
Starkey's return when the New York
police had him under arrest ten days ago.
Three new suspects were arrested to-
night. They are all Philadelphians, and
| came here recently. Thomas Murphy,
w. j. Murphy and E. j. Williams COM
posed the trio. After being held in GUS
tody for come time, they were released, 4,
young Carlson is familiar with the ap-
pearance of the men who rented the cot
tage where Cronin was killed, declaring
that the prisoners were not the persons
wanted.
