MORE TESTIMONY TAKEN,
Witnesses Who To-day Testified Before
the Chicago Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The special grand Jury
resumed its investigations In the Cronin case
this morning. but it, proceedings were a.
devoid OF interesting developments
as those Of yesterday. In fact it hourly be-
comes apparent that the inquiries Of the grand
Jury are to be little moro than . repetition Of
the Investigations Of the coroner's inquest.
The same Witnesses are being summoned, and
they are telling their same old stories over
again with not even variation enough to excite
interest.
IDENTIFYING MARoNEY.
W. P. Hatfield, salesman for A. II. Revell d
Co., the furniture dealers, was before the Jury
this morning and testified as to the particulars
Of the purchase by ~. B. Simons," Of the fur
niture Of the Carlson cottage. He was shown
a photograph of John ]. Maroney, the New York
suspect and testified that it resembled greatly
the individual who paraded under the alias Of
by those who know Maroney, to be a somewhat
defective one, and Mr.. Hatfield, who had no
cause to scrutiniZe Simons, can hardly be ex-
pected to testify positively as to detailed re-
semblances. His evidence, however, is deemed
conclusive enough to leave no doubt that
ArRuE BILL WILL RE RENDERED
against Maroney, and indictments may be re-
ported at any time against the man and his
suspected accomplice in crime, Charles Nc
Donald.
sULLIvAN's BANK ACCOUNT.
Interest in the proceedings revived when,
just before noon, Byron L. Smith, receiver of
the defunct Traders bank, mounted the steps
followed by messenger bearing the bank
speculations on the board Of trade.
Luke Dillon assembled with eager foot
steps moment later, and was shortly followed
by John W. Moore, OF the firm of J. T. Lester
q Co., Sullivan's brokers. The advent Of these
witnesses ss meant that ,t the ion
time being, directed from Maroney
and Mcdonald to an inquiry into, Alexander
Suliivan's alleged speculation with Clan-na-
Gael funds, the impression prevailed that an
indictment might possibly be returned against
Judge Tuley's decision in the habeas corpus
case. This impression took the form Of convic-
ton in the minds Of many when, at IL o'clock,
the jury declined to adjourn for dinner,
but pursued its examination of Byron
L. Smith and scrutiny of the bank books with
undiminished interest Mr.. Moore was called
in to give an account Of the expenditures in
dicated by Sullivan's checks on the bank in
favor Of J. T. Lester 4 Co.
Nightly Meetings Of the Chan-na-G Gael.
KANSAS CRY, No., June 14.-The Journal
says: 1t was discovered last night that there
have been nightly meetings of the Gamma
Gael in Kansas City for the past three weeks.
There is quite large number of the order
living here. The meetings have, of course,
been conducted with the strictest secrecy, and
nothing as to their purpose has been learned.
Is Feely British Spy?
TORONTO, ONT, June 14.-Yesterday's Empire
says: It would not be surprise to some people
II Dennis O. Feely, one Of the men now brought
forward most prominently in connection with
the Cronin murder at Chicago, would turn out
to be British spy. He was at one time a most
rabid British subject. He joined the Cobourg
garrison battery many years ago. BY his zeal
and attention to duty he soon worked his way
up to the position OF sergeant-major, and served
in that capacity in 1866 during the Fenian raid,
when his battery was stationed in the old fort
at Toronto. As soon as he was released from
service he went to Rochester, where he became
the head-center of Fenian organization. From
Rochester he went to Chicago His name
appears on the old service roll of the two bat
teries Of artillery that were quartered in the
old fort, and it may be found on the pay sheets
Of the militia department of Ontario.
A Cian-na-Gael's Suicide.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. June 1.-THE suicide Of
Patrick A. Ward, leader Of the Clan-na-G Gael in
this city, last night created great sensation.
The intimate friends of the dead man say that
he has been lOw-spirited ever since the murder
Of DIR. Cronin in Chicago. Ward had been
promised an appointment by influential repub-
icans for his services in the late campaign He
seemed to think that his prominence in the
Clan-na-Gael would prevent the fulfllment of
the promises that had been given him.
