Story of the Man Who Laid the Carpet in
Carlson Cottage.

Story OF the Man VINO Laid the carpet IN
Carlson Cottage.
CHICAGO, May 31.-An evening paper
Gays some valuable information in the
Cronin case has been gathered from the
man "Mack," alias Williams, alias Nc
Williams, who was arrested in cheap
lodging house. Mack claims to be car
penter. He told the following story:
On the I'd of May hs was working for
Mrs. Wilson, on North Ashland avenue,
| scarcely block from the Carlson cottage,
Mack was putting in screen windows at
the time. While at work a lady, whose
name he understood to be was Mrs. Dud-
ley, came in and began to talk with Mrs.
Wilson. M 4ck was In the same room,
and he overheard every word. Mrs. Dud-
ley, who is stout, feshy woman, was
talking very bitterly against 1.-The physi
clan who had attended her husband.
Mack says he heard the name
doctor Cronin" mentioned, but he
did not know who, whether
the physician complained of was Cronin
or not. Mrs. Dudley seemed very much ex-
cited and frequently made the remark in
great spirit II will get even with him."
Mrs. Dudley said she was working in an
orphan asylum on Burlington street, but
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 direction of Carlson
cottage, referring to the place she was 60
ing to move into as the Chicago Nursing
and Half Orphan asylum on Bunting
street. TWAS found that Mrs. Dudley had
been there but had since gone away. It
is believed that Williams is one of the
men who rented the Carlson cottage; that
he is a carpst layer by trade, and that he
laid the carpet in the cottage.
MONTREAL, May Sit is believed that
the man Mack, who is under arrest for
supposed completely in the Cronin MUIR
der, is one of the Williams brothers, who
hired the Carlson cottage, in which the
deed was done. He answers very closely
the descri ption of the man who drove the
buggy with a white horse. He is known
to the public by the name of Williams,
but his identity as one of the Williams
brothers remains to be established
