THE REQUISITION REFUSED.
Gov. Hill Declines to Surrender Maroney
and Mcdonald, the CrOnin Suspects.
It was something of surprise to the Chicago
| authorities that Gov. Hill, of New York, re-
| fused to surrender Maroney and Mcdonald, the
two men arrested in New York city on the
| requisition of Gov. Fifer. The New York gov
ernor denied the application without prejudice
to a renewal of the case, simply upon the
grounds
l. That the application was not accompanied
by an Indictment.
2. That no proof whatever was presented
showing that the accused are guilty Of the
crime charged against them, as required by the
laws of this and all other states.
The application was based solely upon an
affidavit made upon information and belief"
MARoNEY TALKS.
Maroney, in an interview yesterday said: &c
don't believe Sullivan had anything whatever
to do with the crime. In regard to the accu-
sation against myself will say that have not
been IN Chicago but one night since October,
1887. was then on my way to Omaha, in the
tions with the c.. B. and O., and was obliged
to stop over in Chicago until the next day. I
can prove by dozens Of people that was in this
city on May 4, when Cronin disappeared
was engaged in obtaining signatures to Pc
tition asking for the appointment of friend to
political position, and on one of the days
called on a friend in Brooklyn who was stop
ping home with his sick children. Know
ing the animus of Dillon and his ring
/ am certain that they would stop at
nnfhlnO In 6nUn SnI1i ST. l.,
There is not a man in the organization who
would not like to see the real murderers ar
rested and convicted, as / think this has put
back our cause at least twenty years, and may
eventually lead to disruption. II thought Sui
Ivan was guilty would be the first to de-
nounce him, but think he is as innocent as
the unborn babe. The records of the Clan-na-
Gael will show that / have always opposed
murders or assassinations for revenge or any
cause whatever. 1 believe that in this free
country every man should assist in making the
laws, and that the laws should be sufficient
punishment for any crime. / hope you will
allow me to say that trust that the American
people will withhold their opinion in this grave
matter, knowing as do that l am perfectly
innocent. don't fear the result. I protested
against having a lawyer, and am only anxious
to be allowed to go and face Dillon in a court
OF law and show him up. / know Mcdonald,
and believe him to be innocent of any partici-
patton in the crime. He is Woodworking and
nection with the murder of DR.. Cronin.''
RUMoRs IN NEW YORK.
1t was said in New York yesterday, and not
denied by Clan-na-Gael men, that the executive
committee Of the Clan-na-Gael met in Phila-
delphia Wednesday to take measures to pre-
vent Maroney and Mcdonald from being taken
to Chicago. 1t is everywhere admitted that
Maroneys presence in England to answer for
several missions he has undertaken or assisted
would be desirable, and it is asserted that the
society wants to get him out of the way before
certain extradltion law now pending has
chance to turn him over to Scotland Yard
The officials of the Clan na-Gael are said to be
all supporters of Alexander Sullivan, men who
were put in Office by Sullivan's influence.
The air was full OF rumors of new arrests. 1t
was whispered that considerable number Of
others were under surveillance and would soon
be gathered in. 1t is true that certain persons
are being watched to the extent, that, il they
left New York city, they would be followed and
located. These PERSONS are not suspected Of
being directly accessory to the murder. and il
arrested would not be charged with murder
The men who believe that Alexander Sullivan
inspired DIR. Cronins death, believe that the
murder was the result of a huge conspiracy
the qualifications of which involve good many
men In number OF places. If the investiga-
not unlikely that q number of men will be ar
rested charged with conspiracy.
WATCHING BoLASD.
Chief Hubbard, of Chicago, admitted yester-
day yesterday that he had two men in Kansas
City watching Michael Boland, the present re-
corder Of police of that city and former men,
Der Of the notorious triangle.
"Are you going to arrest Boland?" the chief
was asked.
That will depend upon the action of the
grand jury" replied the chief, evasively. but
my men are not in Kansas City for the purpose
of arresting Mr.. Boland Just now"
The facts in the case are said to be that the
states attorney expects an indictment against
Boland, and the chiefs officers are in Kansas
City ready to take Mr.. Boland when the indict-
ment is returned
TO PROCURE AN INDICTMENT
The refusal of Governor Hill, of New York
to grant the application for the surrender Of
John ]. Maroney and Charles Mcdonald to
Illinois officers will probably result in the
states attorney to-day urging the grand jury to
at once render a partial report finding an in
dictment against Maroney and Mcdonald
