BRUCE's STORY.
In regard to the story told by private
detective named Bruce, printed last even
ing in the Daily NetGs and telegraphed
abroad to the effect that he (Bruce) had
been offered a sum of money to kill DR..
Cronin, Alderman Mccormick says there is
no truth in tho story whatever. He says it
is piece of spite-work on the part of
Bruce, and that he intends to take leg
steps to have Bruce punished for his state
ment.
SEARCHING FOR HIS CLOTHES.
Lieut. Seheuttler, of the Larrabee street
station, and ten officers were busy all
day to-day searching for Dr. Cronlns
clothes. They worked for nothing. The
cottage N Ashland avenue where the phv-
sician is supp sei to have been assassinated,
was first searched. Officers in the base
ment dug up the ground underneath the
flooring to a depth Of foot or two, and
searched every crack and crevice about the
windows, beams, sinks, and cod bin,
without discovering a trace of anything
that might have belonged to DR.. Cronn.
Lieut.. Scheuttler fastened a candle on the
end of n string, and lowered it through the
wall spaces from the attic to the floor beams
below. The chimneYs and hues we're
searched as wei as every shelf and closet
Oh the ground floor. Several of the officers
searched under the sidewalks and crossings
In the neighborhood of the cottage, and
looked through all the catch basins and
outaouses Lieut.. Schsuttler and the Off
GERS we're then driven to Belmont avenue
bridge. They dragged the river for several
hundred feet without success. The search
will be continued tomorrow.
THE GRAND JURY UNSATISFACTORY.
1t is stated tonight, upon apparently
good authority, that the present grand jury
will not be asked to give the Cronin case
any further consideration. The serious
charact er Of this announcement is best ap-
preciated and the tendency of the investiga-
tions best understood, when it is
remembered that a considerable num-
Der Of the members of the jury are
Irishmen, or of Irish descent. While States
Attorney Longnecker is as voiceless as
sphinx as to the reason for declining to con-
tinue o investigation under the prese /
jury, those high in authority do not deny
that the question Of nationality has much
TO do with bis decision.
