"a Chicago Reporter Makes
Startling Discoveries in q
Catch-Basin.
The Finding Of a Human Fin
ger Indicates That Two
Persons We're Killed.
The Mystery Of DR.. Cronin's
Taking OF Is Growing
Deeper.
Physicians Unable to Discover
the Manner in Which He
Was Murdered.

CHICAGO, May 23.-William 3. Hotch-
kiss, reporter for the Inter Ocean, did
little police work tonight on his own
account. The result may be the dis
closure that another person beside Gro
min was murdered. Hotchkiss found
that the suburban police had neglected d
to search the catch-basin where CrOnin's
body was found, after removing the
corpse. The newspaper man decided to
undertake the work himself, and little
patience and toll soon showed that he
was not to go unrewarded. In the
bottom of the sewer basin, con-
cealed in the water, was found a
bloody towel exactly similar to the one
which was wrapped about Cronin's
head. Further cropping brought up a
single human finger. The member
was decomposed, and it was impossible
to determine whether it was a mans or
woman's. Probabilities favor the
idea that it wgs the finger of male,
but there was nothing like certainty.
The ideas suggested by the new find
! we're. various. Reeollections Of Wood
ruff's confession as to wOman's body
were revived, as were also his state
ments indicating there had been a
struggle in which DR.. Cronin was a
participant. The woman's body, Wood
ruff said, had been cut up into small
pieces, and the finding of the finger
was pretty generally taken as corrob-
Grafton of the prisoners strange story.
It is certain that the finger is not from
the hands of DIR. Cronin. Close exam
ination, the doctors say. show that none
ofCronin's fingers are missing.

Justice Lamar and His Salary.

Washington Correspondence New York Star.
Associate Justice Lucius Quintus Curtius
Lamar of the Supreme Court has just bought
and paid 523 900 for lot of rs feet ffDnt on the
south side Of Massachusetts, avenue, between
14th and 18th streets. He intends building on
it. The locality is beautiful and fashionable
one. The eloquent and philosophical orator.
lawyer, statesman and jurist can pass his de-
Ginning days here in honor and happiness.
The purchase recalls an incident of several
years ago. Judge Lamar had been trans
planted from the Senate to the cabinet by
President Cleveland. He wanted to rent a
residence. Mrs. Dahlgren. widow of the late
Admiral Dahlgren, had just completed an
elegant house-in the same neighborhood, by
the way, where the justice has now bought a
lot-which she wanted to let. Secretary Lamar
called upon her, ushered into the parlor
and made known his business The lady re-
piled that the house for rent, the rental
being $1,000 per annum. The Secretary sat
perfectly quiet, his eyes bent upon the carpet,
apparently absorbed in profound thought
This was kept up so long that Mrs. Dahlgren
finally inquired If he were ill.
No, madam" replied the Secretary; Il was
only wondering what could do with the rest
of my salary"
