Once More Looking Into Alexander Sulli-
vans Specializing Record.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The grand jury took a
new tack in the .Cronin ease this morning and
once more started in to look up Alexander
Sulivan's speculations. Messrs. Schwartz and
Dupee were subpened 10 bring their books
into the jury for inspection. It is believed
that in this way light will be thrown upon
features of Alexander Sullivan's specializing
record which have hitherto escaped scrutiny.
The actions of the police indicate that some
arrests are about to be made Some one is re-
ported to have "squealed"-the police refuse
to say who-and rumor las it that drag-net is
about to land some of the conspirators high and
dry.
Among the other witnesses before the grand
jury were man named O'Malley, J. 6. Ryan,
who said he was not Clan-na-Ga Pat Dolen,
the saloon-keeper; Frank Seaman, NJ. F.
Brady, the north-side milk-man William Kelly,
John Muldoon and several Clan-na Gael people.
The afternoon session adjourned at 1880 this
evening for the day. Nothing OF interest de-
veloped. An indictment was returned by the
grand jury, but 1t was against a gambler for
petty ofiense, having no connection with the
Cronin affair
CHICAGO, June 27.-Salesman Hatfield of
Revelle & Co, was allowed an opportunity
this afternoon to see Lawyer John F. Beggs,
senior Rudr0ldll OF lldll-nd-Tdtl NO ~
in his cell at the srmory. The object was to
see whether Hatfield could identify Beggs as
81. B. Simonds," who bought the Carlson cot
tage furniture. He was unable TO make the
Identification. 1t seems that a messenger boy
in Revelle's who was present when Simonds
bought the furniture, subsequently saw Beggs
on the street and thought he recognized him as
Simonds.
An afternoon paper says: John F. Beggs
was arrested because the police were appraised
that the schemers had concocted a cock-and-
bull story about the alleged trial in camp No.
90, which was given by all the members OF that
camp in great detail. The story was told 10
the grand jury, but there was too much
of exact sameness about 1t TO stamp
il with the seal OF truth. 1t was
learned that John F. Beggs had been visiting
the members of the alleged trial committee,
and he, it was thought, had put flea into the
ear of more than one of the committee.
Therefore said Detective Palmer to-day, we
thought il best to put Mr.. John +. Beggs where
he could not talk or hold communication with
the outside world. We thought, too, that Mr..
Beggs could be got at with greater ease If
under arrest than if he were allowed to roam
at will"
CHICAGO, June 29.-The clock in Judge
Shepard's courtroom registered the hour OF
$40 this afternoon when the special grand
Jury, which has been investigating the Cronin
mystery filed into the room with their report.
Every Juror answered to his name as the clerk
called the roll, and the call was completed
Judge Shepard. who had been in waiting since
4:S0 o'clock, addressed Foreman Clough:
"Have you report TO make?'
1--WE have" and a document upon which all
eyes fastened with eager interest was handed
to the judge.
''Have you further business, gentlemen" was
the next query.
81 think we have finished what we have to
do"
''Then you may be excused from any further
service"
With this stereotyped conversation ended
the work of the grand jury.
The report indicted seven men, of whom
three were already in Jail under previous in
