osullivan Says He Did Not Corfess.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-Deputy Warden
Merrill of the Penitentiary, and Charles
Gross, who supervises ali interviews with
convicts, when shown the alleged
confession of Iceman O'Sullivan in
a Chicago newspaper, detailing how DIR.
Cronin was murdered, pronounced it
a "fake." O'Sullivan was sent for and
his alleged confession read to him. lie
looked amazed, and exclaimed: at is false
from top to bottom. haven't anything to
confess and never confessed anything. If
bad would confess it and not suffer life
imprisonment. I have always said l ought
to have gone on the stand, and say now that
will go on the stand if | get a new trial !;
but have no confession to make, because
know nothing about the crime to con-
fess "
The belief that O'Sullivsn. the Cronan
prisoner, has squealed is general here.
The reason assigned for the derisl is that
in case O'Sullivan got out he would meet
the same fate that Cropin did inside of
three days. The discipline of the prison is
also involved. The more earnest the
denial frmer grows the belief that the
statement is true.
