ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCu.l
CHICAGO, June 9.-The expressman who
carried the furniture from III Clark street
to the Carlson cottage has been found. His
name is Hakan Martinaon. He will prob
ably appear before the Coroner's Jury to-
morrow. Two men, one whom Martinaon
describes as intensely powerful and having
red face and dark brown mustaehe hired
him three months ago to move the goods
They paid him $3.50 for the job. The big
mans companion was short and muscular.
The bloody clothes which were found by a
rag picker in an ash barrel on Elstone avenue
three weeks ago, and which it was believed
were worn by one of the murderers of DR..
Cronin, belonged to Milwaukee avenue bar
Der who committed suicide several weeks ago.
The garments were cut off his dead body.
Evidence that DIR. Cronin was as he always
claimed to be, Cne of LeCaron's bitterest ene-
mics, is accommodating slowly but surely. He
g and 5ne 81 sy a. every
everythingin his power to prove that LIE Caron
was man unworthy of confidence.
PLAIN EVIDENCE.
About two years ago, when Caron undertook
to obtain admission to the Illinois Catholic
Order of Foresters, Cronin defeated his admis-
q
then Secretary of St Aloysius Court. In the
letter he charged that LIE Caron was unfit to he
Forester and intimated broadly that he was
hireling of the British Government LIE
Caron sought admission to the order through
Officer Houhilan. of the Fourteenth street
station, and Houhilan. before filing the spy's
application, spoke to DR.. Cronin about it.
The doctor promptly advised him to drop the
matter, but in order to make doubly sure that
LIE Caron would not slip in by trick, the doc
tor wrote the denunciatory letter to the Sec
retary. That settled LIE Caron's aspirations,
This letter is locked in vault in Sodality
hall. 1t will be read officially in every
court of the Foresters during the next
week for the purpose of dissipating
the idea that Cronin ever entered
the business of selling the secrets of the Irish
Americans to the English Government. There
is another thing that goes to show no love was
lost between LIE Caron and Cronin. The former
was not only member of the committee that
tried and expelled him on Policeman Browns
charge of treason, but he was also one of the
chief witnesses against the doctor.
A SENSATIONAL CLEW.
One of the most sensational clews the police
have run down came from Lake View last Fri
day. 1t is story to the effect that Mrs. Bohde,
who lives on Woodside avenue, had washed
lot Of bloody clothes and a carpet for P. o.
Sullivan. the ice man, less than week
after Cronin was murdered. The man
who gave this information declared he
heard Mrs. BOhde tell this story a half
dozen times. To-day, however, when Acting
Superintendent Behutler. visited the woman
she fatty denied the story that she had made
any such declaration. She admitted having
washed P. o. Sullivan's clothes on MAY l and
again on May 2, but declared that there was not
drop of blood on them. Mrs. Bohde will be
summoned to appear before the Coroner's Jury.
Chief Hubbard to-day received a telegram
from New York to the effect that one of the
two suspects whom Inspector Byrne's officers
are shadowing has suddenly disappeared. His
comrade, however, was seen to-day.
