THE'. CRONIN MURDER.  0.--- AN IMPORTANT ARREST.  A telegram from New York says :—The recent confession of Frank Woodruff in regard to the Cronin mystery seems to have been only partial. He now makes what purports to be it " full confession," in which, however, ha himself admits but a small share in the horrible deed. The statement implicates in the crime Alexander Sullivan, the detective Coughlin, Moroney, P. O'Sullivan, McDougall, and others. It is claimed that the police have made their first brilliant stroke in the Crouin case. The photograph which had been ideutified by so many witnesses turns out not to have been that of Moroney, the New York suspect. His name was given and extradition demanded. and witniades sent to identiiy him, merely US a blind to conceal from the Sullivanites the real man, who was wanted, but could not then be found. Now, at last, this man has been arrested. The police are exultant at their successinl rase, which put him off his guard and prevented his being warned by the Clan-mt-tittel conspirators.  The New York Herald representative interviewed Mr O'Brien in London last Saturday. As soon as the subject el the Cronin murder was appro&ilumi, Mr O'Brien hastily interrupted with the remark, " I am no more able to interpret the recent 14110Ckillg 6,1811k8 ILI America than ILDI able to decipher the Chinese alphabet."  " Wertn't you at the Chicago Convention in 1886, Mr O'Brien ?" I went with Mr W. Redmond, M.P., ei a delegate from the National League to attend the Convention."  "And you met Mr Sullivan there, I suppose ?" " Yes; I saw him, and was introduced to him, just as I was introduced to the Mayor of New York, the Mayors of many other elective, and hundreds of other persons. I can't tell you anything about Lim, any more than I can tell yea anything about the man in the moon, for the simple reason that I know nothing about him." " Did you meet Dr. Cronin ?" "Not to my knowledge. I may have seen him, just as I saw hundreds and tnousands of other persons during my visit, but I did not meet him to know him. .  " I think it would be very injulicious for either me or any othor member of the Irish party to speak upon the subject at all, for three very good reasons. In the tint place, the case is pending; in the eecoud place, we should be speaking about a man of whom I, at least, know nothing; and in the third place, about an organisation of which I know notkit g. " No; you may just as well ask ine to speak about the Maybrick poisoning case. Nothing but harm could come of any renuirke I might make, aud swain I must emphatically refuse to say anything on the subject, for the reason, es I have explained, that I know nothing of Mr Sullivan. or the organisation said to be associated with the murder of Dr. Cronin."
