Mrs. Foy supplements Her Story With
Further Alleged Confession.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Mrs. Andrew Foy,
who told the story of the killing Of DR..
Cronin, as it was told her by her hus-
band, who was alleged to be party to it,
has supplemented it with the further al
legged confession by her husband to the
effect that the conspirators had arranged
to supplement their crimes by putting
Judge Richard Pendegast, ex-Congress-
man John +. Finerty and real estate
man named Conway out of the way. She
told this story to the attorneys last sum
mer. but they persuaded her not TO give
it to the public. She declares she told
the conspirators that if they proceeded
any further she would tell all she knew,
so the matter was dropped. There is a
wide difference OF opinion as to the value
Of Mrs. Foys story.

SENSATIONAL TELEGRAPH NEWS
Leading Citizens Of Spokane VIII Deal
with the Abuse.

with the Abuse.
SPOKANE (Wash.), Dec. Ga meeting
of leading citizens was held to-day to deal
with an abuse unique in journalism. For
three years special correspondents here
have been manufacturing all sorts of
sensations and telegraphing them to
Eastern papers. 1t is now proposed to
stop this work by an appeal to the courts.
An effort will be made to get at the
records of the telegraph Office by a judi
cial order, the intention being then to
bring criminal proceedings for libel
against two correspondents known to be
responsible for a special service.
At first the indignation was directed
against the Associated Press, the belief
being general that it was responsible for
all the dispatches sent from here. The
local correspondent promptly met this by
voluntarily giving the committee an or
der upon the telegraph office to give them
free access to anything ever filed for that
association.
The case promises to be one of the most
interesting ever brought in the courts of
this county, and may lead to libel suits
against the papers printing such bogus
news,
