THE STORY OF THE TIN BOX.
JOHN F. BEGGS'S PART IN THE CRONIN
MYSTERY.
NEW CLEws UPON WHICH THE PROSECUTION
is woRKING-BEGGS's VISIT TO


NEW-YORK.
Chicago, Aug. % @peciaD.-The story OF the tin
box In which it is supposed the clothes of Dr. Cronn
were to have been transported to England has brought
10 the surface and startling evidence. The
disclosure is startling because of the exactness with
which it fits TO fhe leading facts in the great Cronn
murder mystery. and because of the fact that It is
the first time that inlling of the main points In
the which the State has made against John f.
Beggs has leaked out 1t was known that John F.
Beggs Senior Guardian of Camp 90 that he was
the friend and protege of Alexander Sullivan that he
disliLed Dr. Cronln, and it rrmored that he ap-
pointed committee Of Camp 90 to try Cronin for
treason to the cause Of Ireland. But all Of this
was not alone sufficient to procure the conviction Of
Beggs as an accessory in the murder OF Cronin The
main features in the case against Beggs are these
Just one week before DR.. Cronins body found
John f. Beggs and Dennis Ward, prominent member
of the Irish Republican Club, started on tour East
and reached New-York. In New-York one of the
first men who had consultation with Beggs was
Bill" Starkey, the absconding Chicago lawyer Beggs
didn't know that his movements were watched, but
they " Dick7 Powers, of Chicago, accidentally
learned that Beggs and Starkey consulting with
each other, and had the men shadowed Inspector
Byrnes tecGraphed 10 State-Attorney Longeneckcr
asking whether he wanted starkey arrested
in connection with tho Cronin case
and there being no connection between
Starkey and the known to any one outside the
oonspirators at the time Mr.. LOngenecker replied in
the negative. The shadowinT was stopped after this
but there happened 10 be another in New-York
just about this time who knew both Beggs and
Starkey. and he is in position TO declare OATH
lie is not niimdated or prevented by considerations
of personal safety that Bcggs and starkey had made
every necessary preparation 10 take an ocean liner
for Paris the very day that Dr. Cronns dead body was
discovered I'm the Lake View sewer.
The theory of the prosecution is that the tin box
soldered up by order Of Martin Burke on North
Oark-st contained the clothes of the murdered man
and these clothes, box and all, among the
luggage Of the two men who about sail for
Europe. All attempts TO trace that luggage from
New-YOrk have proved futile thus far, but the search
has not YET been given up. The theory of the
prosecution is that Cronn was to have been SEEM
