The investigation thus far indicates that
Mr. Trude was ignorant of all the proceed
ngs OF the conspirators, and that his Office
was abused and his cOndde nee betrayed,
and II Is believed hs will range himself on
h SIDE OF the State and insist on Graham
telling the whole truth.
Henry y Stoltenberg did not prove ms
valuable a witness for ths State as Mr..
Longenecker and his colleagues were led
10 expect Wednesday evening Stolten-
berg, IN fact. went back on his promises
when hs was produced before the grand
jury yesterday he refused point blank 10
say one word about the scene ia the office
Ia the Opera House block between
Tom KayanaUgh and a prominent
lawyer. He also refused to say q word
about his telegram TO Senator Kennedy, OF
Wisconsin, while the latter was at winni-
peg or his letters from Toronto last May,
June and July he conveyed the idea o
the States Attorney that ne was going 10
make clean breast OF IT, When he was
produced before the grand fury he was as
dumb as an oyster.
William o. Dahl, young Scandinavian
who is on friendly terms with StoItenberg,
was taken befre the grand jury. however,
and he prepared the minds OF some of the
members for further revelatisnR His story
was in substance as follows:
Some time last May or June Dahl re-
ceived a visit from his friend Stoltenberg
The latter told him that he would like
him 20 receive certain letters that would
be sent from Toronto Dahl consented 10
receive the letters He got two OF them.
De turned them over TO Stoltenberg
On the outside they were addressed
TO Dahl Under cover they were ad-
dressed to Stoltenberg Under the
cover addressed TO Stoltenberg they were
addressed 20 Stoltenberg's employer
Dahl ascertained this fact by forcing Stolt-
enherg to opsn the envelope In his pres
ence Two weeks ago he communicated
the fact to fellow employe. Otto c. Eric
son. Ericsson told his employer, Mr.
Jevne. Mr.. Jevne sent for Dahl
and told him to communicate
mediately with the authorities Dahl
did so, but be also communicated with
Stoltenberg. The latter then made a virtue
OF necessity He sent word 10 the States
Attorney that he wanted to be taken be-
fore the grand jury, but before the grand
Jury he told Foreman Chase that he had
been advised not to saw any thing
In connection with StoItenberg's appear
ance it should be stated that the young
lady telegraph operator at the Grand Pa
ciic fully identified him yesterday as to
the person who sent a telegram TO Senator
Kennedys partner. Hough, at Winnipeg in
July advising that Martin Burke should be
warned against talking 10 the otficers eat
ing with them or accepting favors at their
hands
Mr. Longenecker is much annoyed at the
failure OF Stoltenberg TO fulfill the prom
lses be held out to the prosecuting attor-
neys, but he has hopes that he will yet tell
the truth There Is reason TO believe
that II be will the true story Of the after
plot in the Cronin murder will be re-
vealed.
1t is probable a special grand jury will be
aske TO further investigate the case next
week Two members OF the present grand
fury have communicated with the friends
OF the defense. The States Attorney will
not, therefore, present any new evidence
II be can avoid IL
Bailif Hanks statement to the States At
torney has borne fruit As a result or 1t the
papers OF a certain other bailiff, who has
not yet been indicted. were seized and OK
smined yesterday. and among them was
found q list of veniremen intended TO be
summoned. On that list were found two
names also among those given by Hanks 20
Soloman as list of those who were oor-
rupt The idea Is that this last list was
made up largely from the one Hanks made
out
As a result OF the discovery Captain
Schue stler was sent out after the two venire-
men, and they were brought into the
States Attorneys Office. Upon promise
that their names should be kept from the
public they told al that they knew. They
were examined separately, and each
told the sans story Each had
been approached twice, once by
smith and once by Hanks. and each had
