Within Two Weeks.
CHICAGO, June 10.-Directly after the
receipt of important information by wire,
at o'clock last night, Mr. Luke Dillon,
Secretary of the Clan -Na-Gael Executive,
said: "We will have the murderers of DR..
Cronin before two more weeks have gone
by, just as sure as sit here" "
Mr.. Dillon indicated that his detectives
or agents in an Eastern city are almost
within reach of one of the principals of the
foul murder, and that his arrest will prob
ably be the event OF the next As hours,
though it may be the matter of two weeks
THE murderers cannot escape" went
on Mr.. Dillon. "TheTe are Is, 600 loyal
members OF the United Brotherhood in
this country-I5, 900 men who will act un-
der my Instructions and who are alert and
rel llved to apDrehend the murdefers
They cannot escape. We are employing
the most skillful detectives in the country
aud our agel are az work in every city in
the United States"
what do you think of Patrick Egan 3
connection with the cs7s?"
81 am satisfied he has DO guilty connec-
tiOn with it, The only way see he is
brought into it is by the explanation of
Lawyer Trude for Alexander Sullivan, in
which be says that the 500 600 deposited
at the Traders Bank was given him in
trust by E4gan."
Continuing, Mr. Dillon expressed the
belief that Mr.. Eigan did not give the
money to Sullivan, but that the 500, 600
was stolen from the funds of the United
Brotherhood. Mr. Dillon said that moth
ing needed TO he more clearly proven to
the world than that the United Brother
hood, as a society, was IN no wise respon-
sible for the great crime. The crime
was planned by an able villain, and if any

has been no regular meeting of the Camp.
Beggs, as Senior Guardian, has pretended
to call the Camp together, though he never
summoned any one except his friends. A

lection of the murderers.
The police are very close to the man who
murdered Dr.. CrOnin. Capt. Schuettler
admitted this much last night, and CIief
Hubbard to-day confri ed the statement
From the clews that have been furnished
them they have worked out a web of cir
cumstantial evidence that will, sooner or
later, ensnare every principal in the trag-
edy They believe they are close on the
heels of the man who hired the Carlson
cottage and the fat at III South CLARK
street They are also in possession OF
names of the Clan-Na-Gael men who have
been pointed out on every side as the ones
who found Dr.. Or min guilty of the false
charge of being a British spy and then SEN
tenced him to be removed" for his alleged
iufamy. A good many Of the names have
already heen published Some Of the sus-
poets have already appeared before the Cor
nner's Jury a. witnesses. Capt S:heu,tler
said that ii his officers could locate a certain
man he would at once order half dozen
