HIS CLOTHING FOUND,
A Most Important Discovery in the
 CrOnin Murder Case.
POLICE sAYnNoTHING.
Chief Hubbard Will Neither Affirm Nor Deny Reports to the Find

CHICAGO, May 31.--At last the police seem to have found something new in the Cronin case.
 It was reported yesterday afternoon that the police had found the clothes of Dr. Cronin. Little credence was first given to this report, which like so many other rumors appeared to be without definite origin, but Lieut.. Ross is author were really found and recognized as the property of the murdered man. The in- ference is drawn that they were found in or around Sullivan's house, as a squad of detectives are known to have devoted nearly all of the day in searching the premises of the ice dealer.
 The officer in charge of this search, in response to casual inquiries, stated at the time that no discoveries had been made. but Chief Hubbard, when con- fronted with the latter report, refused to either affirm or deny the statement that the murdered mans apparel had been found.
 As the authorities have usually lost no time in denouncing unfounded rumors witnessed the disclosure of one valvable clew in the mystery that surrounds the fate of the murdered doctor.
 One more arrest has been made. A man who gave his name as Mack was taken into custody in lodging house. It Is said that he Is suspected of being the man who drove the horse which took Cronin away from his office.
 Alexander NJ. Sullivan, the Irish leader, has at last determined that he must do something to show that he had no connection with the terrible assina- tion of Dr. Cronin. Yesterday the po- lice began to investigate the charges made by Dr. Cronin against him and other directors of misappropriating some $S5,0 of the society's funds. Sullivan has engaged A. T. Trude as his counsel, and they had long conference as to what course 1t would be best for Mr. Sullivan to pursue.
 Sullivan is constantly watched by the police and private detectives, and both he and his counsel were shadowed al- most to the door of his office, where they eluded the Hawkshaw by clever trick. MT. Trude was asked what Mir. Sullivan intended doing, and he an- swered:
 "Oh, have known Aleck since he was a reporter, and have been consulted by him. He did rot believe Cronin was dead, but thought the doctor had disap- peared for the purpose of effecting the result in the Philadelphia convention"
 MT. Trude said that before the body was found MT. Sullivan hpd asked him to write to Cameron, the Queens counsel at Toronto, inquiring whether Cronin was there.
 TORONTO, Ont, May 31.-W.J J. Starkey, the lawyer. who fled from Chicago to this city some time ago to escape prosecution for tampering with jury, and who has been accused of complicity with c. F. Long in the preparation of despatches about Longs alleged interviews with Dr. Cronin, visited the newspaper offices yes terday and said he arrived in this city only Wednesday after months visit in New York. He declared that he had ab- solutely no dealings with Long and had no knowledge of the Cronin case.
