session of the Cronin inquest, to-day, a
number of witnesses were examined
without developing anything of import

which he had had with Woodruff, the
horse thief. Hubbard was asked if he
was the one who drove the trunk from
the Carlson cottage. Woodruff said he
WAS, and then described the cottage.
wooDRUFF's ADMISSIONS.
HE said," continued the Chief,
that he took the trunk about May
4th. He had been given $25 by two men
the day before to do the job. At IL 80,
on May 4th, two men, according to agree
ment, raped on the door of Dinan's
stable. He opened the door and let
out horse. with rags on it's feet, and
htched it to a wagon. They then drove
cottage. He was then told to wait, and
the two men left him and wentinto the
cottage. They remained there five min
utes, and then beckoned him to
drive up. He did so and
the two, King and Fairburn, and
third man came out with heavy
trunk. The third man was P. o. Sulli-
van. When the trunk was put in the
wagon Sullivan returned to the house.
Woodruff with King and Fairburn drove
on Lincoln avenue to Fullerton avenue,
and thence to Lincoln Park. The men
intended to take the trunk and its con-
tents into boat out on the lake and
sink them, but owing to the bright night
! and the presence of strangers they
changed their minds and drove back.
When they reached the man-catch- hole
at Sixty-ninth street, they tried to dump
the trunk into it, but failing, they kicked
the trunk open, having lost the key, took
the body from it and threw it into the
hole. Woodruff was then told to drive
off,"
| CRoNIN's PRIVATE PAPERS.
The Chief then produced private pa
pers of DIR. Cronin's which were turned
over to him by saloon.keeper Conklin,
with whom Cronin lived. Conklin identi.
fed them as being in the handwriting of
DR.. Cronin, and the Coroner read the
documents to the Jury. 1t was decided
by the jury that the names of the parties
mentioned in the documents shonld not
be made public, except those already
brought into the case.
The first paper was a telegram from j.
D. Mcmahon, calling on the doctor to
meet him at the Windsor Hotel, New
York, by order of the Committee, on
January Is, 1883. There was another
telegram from ]. II. Ronayne, calling
for the DOCTORS report on the Sullivan
trial. To this the doctor replied, as a
copy of his letter showed, that he would
vote again as he had voted at the trial.
Then the Coroner read the minority
report of the Trial Committee, dated
Philadelphia, January Is, 1889, and
signed by J. H. McCahey and P. H.
Cronin. The report blames Alexander
Sullivan for neglecting the family of
Mackey Lamasey, scores Sullivan,
Boand and Feely for excluding G. Fl.
Mccarthy from tie Boston Con ention,
and also for excluding delegate of the
home organization from the same place.
1t was alleged that the report of the
Boston Convention showed a deficit of
$l3, 900 at the instance of Sullivan, when
there really was balance; that Sill 900
was Improperly spent and not accounted
for by "The Triangle" that the men sent
to England on Missions" were not suffi-
GENTLY supplied with money, and that
the agent of 1.-THE Triangle" was re.
sponsible for this; that $S7, 191 was drawn
from the Treasury for "active work"
but was not used for that purpose bv
"The Triangle" but, with the surplus
money, was in the hands of "The Tri-
angle's' agent. This report was signed
by McCshey and Cronin, with a recon-
mendation that it be printed and sent to
each camp. The Coroner then read DR..
Cronin's notes taken at the trial. The
obi ections Alexander Sullivan made to
DR.. Cronin's sitting on the committee
are stated at large and also that they
we're overruled by the votes of Burns,
Rogers, McCahey and Cronin.
THE MISSIONS TO ENGLAND.
One witness testified that he was sent
to England to do active work, and was
given ga and steersge ticket. He came
