More Evidence Regarding the Carlson
Cottage Occupants.
CHICAGO, May 31st-An evening paper
says that some valuable information in the
Cronin case has been gathered from
Mack alias Williams, alias McWilliams.
who was arrested in cheap lodging house
Mack claims to be carpenter, and he told
the following story:
On the second of May he was working
for Mrs. Wilson, on North Ashland ave-
nue., scarcely a block from the Carlson
cottage. Mack was putting in some win
dows at the time. While at work lady,
whose name he understood to be Mrs.
Dudley, came and began to talk with Mrs.
Wilson. Mack was in the same room and
he overheard every word. Mrs Dudley,
who is stout, fieshy woman, was talking
very bitterly against the physician who
had attended her husband. Mack saws he
heard the name "Dr. Cronin" mentioned.
but he didn't know whether the physician
complained of was the Cronin referred to
or not.
Mrs. Dudley seemed very much excited,
and frequently made the remark in great
spirit, Il will get even with him." Mrs.
Dudley said she was working in an orphan
asylum on Burling street, but that she was
going to leave the asylum, and that she
daily expected to go to live with her two
brothers in cottage near by. Mrs. Dudley
pointed in the direction of the Carlson cot
tage IN referring to the place she was going
to move.
At the Chicago Nursery and Half Orphan
Asylum on Burling street it was found that
Mrs. Dudley had been there, but had
since gone away. 1t is believed that
Williams is one of the men who rented the
Carlson cottage, and that he is carpet
layer by trade, and that he laid the carpet
in the cottage.
MAC S REAL NAME IS DUDLEY.
LATER.-To-night the police officials saw
they have learned that Macs" real name
is G. E. Dudley. The supposition is that
he Is the husband of the woman men,
toned IN his story. The police say he was
animated in telling the story by the desire
to cause trouble for his wife who left him
on account of his brutality and drunken
ness. They deny having any evidence
connecting Mac" with the case, but in
this connection it should be stated that
little except denials of the stories made
public by newspapers has been obtainable
from the police, and for the past few DAYS
| they are very secretive.
ENTERED THEIR PLEA OF NOT GUILTY.
CHICAGO, May 3lst.-This afternoon ex-
uSACSl4Ne NOuSulll, L. ". SULLIVAN and
Frank Woodruff were arraigned in Judge
Williams Court, charged with the murder
| OF DR.. Cronin. Each man pleaded not
guilty and was taken back to jail.
DR.. CRoYIN's CLOTHING DISCOVERED.
CHICAGO, May 31st.-Late tonight it is
! learned that DR.. Cronin's clothes have been
found. The first clue was obtained by the
| finding of the underwear by the children
mentioned in these dispatches several davs
ago. The police began vigorously to search
for the remainder of the clothing, and
| near the mouth of the Fifty-ninth-street
sewer unearthed the murdered physician S
pants, coat, shirt and undershirt. They
were buried over foot under the ground
The shirt bore the name of the murdered
doctor, and the other articles were readily
recognized as portions of his apparel
Strange to say, however, the vest was miss
| ing. In its place was a vest of much
coarser material. This garment presum-
ably belonged to one of the murderers OF
accomplices. For this reason the police
are using every effort to suppress their dis
covery, hoping that Cronin's vest may be
| discovered in the possession of one of the
murderers. The pants found were deeply
stained with blood.
