It is Mad* Us* of in Trying to Se cure the Release of Sullivan.

THE JUDGE TAKES THE MATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION.

More About the Suspects Arretted in New York—The New' •Grand Jury., *"'.

CHICAGO, Junel2.—Alexander Sullivan declined tfrsee any callers at the jail this morning except his law partners. None of the horde of curiosity seekers who, on one .pr®t»xfc or another gained wtcolttance to the cage, were able eren to get a glimpse at him, he quietly foiling all such efforts by remaining at the :. far end of the cell, just out of reach of the, many pair of eyes strained in his direction. To a friend who sent Mr. Sullivan a note from the jail office expressing unshaken confidence in him and firm belief in his innocence, the famous ex president of the Irish national league, returned the followingSreply: am very grateful for four kind word*. Time •. and the truth will justify you In their use.

Sincerely, ALKXANDKR SDIXIVAN.

At 9:30 this morning A. S. Trude, W. J. Hynes, Judge Dilbert and Senator Duncan went to the courthouse and had a consultation with Judge Tuley. What the nature of it was none would reveal,

At 1 o'clock Mr. Sullivan's attorneys finished their consultation, and at 1:15 Mr. Winde appeared in Judge Tuley's court with a petition made out in the regular form, asking for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner was Alexander Sullivan himself.

The petition sets forth that the verdiot of the»coroner's jury, on the strength of which he was committed, is insufficient to hold him and deprive him of the benefit of bail. The evidence produced before the coroner's jury, on which the verdiot was rendered, was insufficient to justify the commitment on any charge. There was no competent evidence, direct or circumstantial, offered or admitted, against the petitioner tending to prove that he was guilty of Dr. Cronin's murder, or accessary thereto, or had guilty knowledge thereof, er knowledge of any plot or conspiracy to accomplish the same. The coroner also permitted a large numof witnesses to testify to statements alleged to have been made by Cronin in his life time as to whatCromn suspected in relation to Sullivan, and the coroner permitted a large amount of incompetent and wholly irrevelant testimony to be introduced before the jury calculated to prejudice the jury against him without shedding any light on the question being investigated. The Verdiot so far as it reflected on the conduot of Sullivan WB9 the result of passion and prejudice, created by the incompetent and irrelevant .testimony admitted by -»Aio-coroner. The testimony heard was so voluminous that it is impracticable to set it out. Sullivan says he is not guilty .of the crime with which he is charged, ,and that he has had no connection whatever with the murder of Dr. Cronin.

After listening to the petition, Judge Tuley issued the writ as prayed, returnable at 4 p. m.

There was a big crowd in court at 4 p. m., when Judge Tuley inquired what answer had been made by Sheriff Mation regarding the writ of habeas corpus ssued for Alexander Sullivan. In the hrong were Thomas O. Windee, Henry irown and Edward McArdle, Mr. !u Hi van's law partners. Lawyer A. S. ''rude, Senator Duncan and Hiram T. filbert represented Alexander Sullivan, hile State's Attorney Longenecker and is assistant, Mr. Baker, appeared for ie state. There was await of twenty inutee before the big sheriff appeared oompanied by A Uxander Sullivan. The /o had walked from the jail, nearly a ile distant, through the public streets, this petition for Mr. Sullivan's release his admission to bail?" asked Judge iley. "For either," said Mr. Trude. 'We ask for his release if no indictment been returned against him. If there

in indictment, then we ask to have him mitted to bail. We base our petition on the statement that there is evidence against Alexander Sulliexcept idle gossip, and that evidence is insufficient to hold him the charg»of murder. We ask the -e's attorney to produce one witness ire the bar of this oourt to submit piece of legal evidence against the ised." he state's attorney demurred to Mr. de's remarks, and made the point

Sullivan's petition did not set out testimony taken before the ooroner's

lave you read the petition?" asked :ourt. but I have Mr. Trude'sstatement he does not recite the evidence." you demur to a petition oh the site counsel's statements?" asked ourt sharply.

Trude handed the state's attorney etition and suavely said: "Perhaps ad better read this and see what are demurring to." Mr. Longeread the petition and then re1 his demurer, and cited the case *pper in the Twenty-seoond mitt whioh case it was held the court 1 rely on the presumptions of the itting officer rather than on the tent of accused or by counsel. itor Duncan replied to Mr. Longer that the case of Sullivan and

Klepper were different In Klepcase the prisoner was personally a committing magistrate, while n'e commitment was made on the of a ooroner's jury. It the state's had anything substantial, releIdireot, he should produce it.

Gilbert Baid it would beapractiial of justioe to require the relator the teetimony or 100 witnesses, 'ing nine days. He also made „oint that the verdict of mar's jury w«s not sufficient war-

Sullivan's arrest. It wssimto tell from the verdict what Sullivan was charged with. show whether be was charged ng acceeeory before or after the Whether he had a guilty knowlI the murder before or after it. It have had a knowledge that the Iras to be committed without beiceesory, because an aooeesory or abetio the crime. There ing charged in the verdiot dilese it was (hat Sullivan had a

knowledge of the plot or conspiracy, and the accused should at least be admitted to bail.

Judge Tuley said: "I am relieved of some difficulty by the statement of counsel, that the object of this application is to admit the accused to bail. A demurrer to the petition is not a proper practice, and ought not to be permitted. The practice is, if the state's attorney desires to raise the queetion of the sufficiency of the petition, he should move to quash the writ. That is the only way to get the matter in form. It appears to me it would be a hardship to require a prisoner to obtain a copy of the testimony before a coroner's jury before he can sue to regain his liberty. I don't know whether the coroner has the power to give a certified copy ot evidence. The verdict of the coroner's jury is exceedingly indefinate and informal. It finds that these prisoners were either guilty of the murder or had guilty knowledge of it. It finds neither one thing nor the other. It might have been sufficient had the jury left out "Or had a guilty knowledge." But the jury have recommended that these parties be held. I deem it proper that the people should answer, showing whether there is sufficient evidence to hold the accused. I think that is due, in view of the indefiniteness of the verdict. The only question I have to determine is whether there is sufficient evidenoe to hold Alexander Sullivan without bail."

Judge Longenecker offered to produce the evidence taken before the coroner, and let the courts read over those parts relating to Sullivan.

Mr. Trude objected. He said that the practice in other cases was to put on the stand the witnesses by whom the state had to prove the charge made. He wanted tne state's attorney to bring on his witnesses and hear them verbally. "I don't propose to Bit here three or four weeks, as the coroner did," said the court. "Your honor won't have to do that. We will never be able to get anything else like that cordner's inquest," said Mr. Trude.

It was finally agreed that the oourt should take the evidence heard by the coroner's jury, and haw the testimony of those witnesses touching on the alleged connection of Alexander Sullivan pointed out to him. It was some time before Mr. Trude would consent to thiB. He said that neither he nor his client knew what the evidence was, except'by newspaper reports.

Then the court suggested that if Mr. Sullivan were not satisfied to leave the matter entirely with him, he could cross examine certain witnesses on the stand but the states attorney would be allowed to also put in evidence. Thereupon Mr. Trude consulted with his client. Mr. Sullivan promptly agreed to leave the evidence with the court and decide if it were sufficient to hold him. The oourt said he would consider it legally without prejudice but could not promise to get through with the matter before Friday morning.

Mr. Sullivan was remanded therefore until 10 o'clock Friday morning, at which time the oourt thinks he will have fiuished reading the ••MUnoe.-- If the •Videnoe is not suftioient in the court's opinion, Judge Tuley can discharge Sul livan if no indictment ie returned by the grand jury and admit him to bail if there is an indictment.

THE NEW YORK SUSPECTS.

The Chain of Circumstance* Wound A boat John J. Maroney. CHICAGO, June 12.—A very strong

chain of circumstantial evidence has been wound about John J. Maroney, one of the men now under arrest in New York on suspicion of being connected with the murder of Dr. Cronin. The story as given by the authorities is as

follows: Photographs were procured of Maroney and McDonald, the other man

By ai

arrested at the same time in New York.

Theee were mixed with a number of others and shown first to Salesman Hatfield, of Revel & Co., who Bold the furniture subsequently found in the Carlson cottage in Lake View, in whioh Dr. Cronin was murdered. Mr. Hatfield, without hesitation, picked out Maroney's portrait as that of the man to whom he sold the furniture. The pictures were then mixed up and shown to Mr. Throckmorton, the real estate agent who rented the rooms on Clark street opposite Dr. Cronin's office, to which the furniture was first carted from Revel's. Mr. Throckmorton picked out the pict ure of Maroney as the man to whom he rented the rooms. Once more the pictures were shuffled, and this time they were shown to Expressman Martenaen, who carted the 'furniture from the Clark street rooms to the Carlson cottage in Lake View, where Dr. Cronin was murdered. The result was the same. Maroney's picture was again selected, this time as the man who hired the furniture moved. Neither of these persons knew what had been done by tne ether. In each of theee cases the man gave his name as J. B. Simmons. It now remains to be seen whether or not the Carlsons will recognize him as one of the alleged brothers named Williams who rented the cottage.

Chief Hubbard aaid later that he understood that Maroney's picture had been shown to Mrs. Clonklin, and that she had recognized the picture as that of the man who drove Dr. Cronin away.

Luke Dillon has Maroney's signature in McCoy's hotel register book in his possession. The signature is "W. L. Melville," but the clerk identities the picture of Maroney as that of Melville. But there is something more startling in the signature. The "i'a" and "IV in Melville are similar in shape to those in the letter to the CarlsonB from "F. W.," ofie of the "Williams brothers" who hired tbe Carlson cottage.

SPRINGFIELD, III., June 12.—Before 12 o'clock to-night John Maroney and Charles McDonald, of New York City, will be in the hands of Chicago officiala. At 8 o'clock last night requisition papera were secretly issuAd by the governor to Thomas J. Farrell, a representative of States Attorney Longenecker, for the arrest of Maroney and McDonald for complicity in the Cronin murder. The matter was a zealously guarded secret until this afternoon, when officiala in the governor's office admitted to an Associated Prees reporter that the requisitions had really been granted, and that Farrell had left for the East last night. As the offi cars took the Wabash limited ther should arrive in New York to-night, and it is likely Inspector Byrnes will have formally delivered the prisoners to Illinois officials ere midnight.

NEW Your. June 12.—Maroney and McDonald were arraigned in the IViaafaa oourt thie afternoon before Justice

Hogan. Detective Von Gerichten Baked to have them remanded until to-morrow, when the Chiiago detectives would be here. Justioe Hogan thought it beat to commit them to await requisitions, which is the prboeedure under the law. They were held without bail. In a statement to Justioe Hogan, Maroney

prove so." His lawyer here interfered and stopped him talking further.

NKW YORK,'June 12 —Another unknown prisoner waa locked up at police headquartera this evening. He went in at the rear entrance handcuffed to a detective sergeant. The man waa low sized and had a heavy black moustache. Whether the arreet waa connected with the Cronin case could not be learned tonight.

Late thia afternoon writs of habeas corpus were obtained for the production of Maroney and McDonald in tbe eupreme court, where a motion will be made for their discharge. The write were served on Warden Oabome-at the Tombe 4

Tlu New Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, June 12.—Judge fanepard charged the new grand jury as follows: "The appalling mtirder of Dr. Cronin lately committed demands a moat vigorous investigation. An American citizen has been struck down and killed under circnmatancea so horrid, indicative of conapiracy, premeditated design and malice, as to warrant the most searching inquiry. Fortunately the power of a grand jury is fully equal to the emergency. Men who can tell' of facts and circumstances that will lead jrou to the discovery of the guilty parties can be made to tell. It

as much perjury to

falsely deny knowledge of a fact as to falsely admit its existence, nothing short of a refusal to testify before you on the ground that his testimony will tend to criminate himself will- excuse any witness, and he can not falsely employ that personal privilege aa a protection for another •, without aubjecting himself to the paina and penaltiee of perjury. It ia not the policy of the law that it is better that one or any number of guilty men should eecape rather than that one innocent person should suffer. The law has no policy in such matters, except that every guilty man shall be puniehed. "With all the information already in the possession of the law officers of the county at hand, it will be a blot upon thia common wealth, a severe blow to the administration of juatioe and a frightful menaoe to the safety of the individual citizena if any man engaged in this shocking crime, or having guilty knowledge of it, ahali not be discovered. The whole power of the county is at your disposal. Employ your resources, use the power vested in you discreetly and advisedly, but coursgeously, without fear or favor, and the reeult cannot be uncertain."

The Anti-Mahone Republican* of Virginia Call on the lPreftidet] t.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—1 he delegation of Virginia Republicans opposed to General Mahone, which waa appointed at the conference held in this city on the 29 th of May, at which time an open letter waa addressed to General Mahone, called upon the preeident to-day according to appointment. The delegation was headed by ex-Governor Cameron, Colonel Brady, a member of the National Republican committee from Virginia, and General Groner, cHairman of the anti-Mahone wing of the Republican party in Virginia. The members of the delegation were cordially received by Preeident Harrison, and were with him for twenty minutes or more. The speaker aaid substantially that as freemen, they could not submit to the control of the Mahone party in Virginia. It ia stated by members of the delegation that in replying to the remarks addressed to him, the president said he did .not think it waa a part of his functions' to undertake to eettle party disputes that so far as he was concerned he did not intend to give recognition to any one faction in the party and had expressed the same views to a delegation of the Mahone Republicans whioh called on him yeeterday. The president further said that he earnestly deeired harmony and party success in Viiyinia, and disclaimed in poeitive terms that he had ever said that appointments in Virginia should be made only upon General Mahones recommendation.. At the conclusion of the president's remarks the delegation withdrew to ite headquarters at the Ebbitt house, much pleased, and expressing themselves as entirely satisfied with the reeult of their interview. The communication addresssd to General Mahone above referred to, has not been answered by him nor its receipt acknowledged. 'I/. "f:

Train in Ireland Near Armagh.

CHILDREN CAUGHT IN THE WRECK AN1 KILLED.

Tbe Accident la Said to Have Been Owing to Ozoea Negligence of the Trainmen.

Dctun, June IS.—A train containing an excursion party from Armagh has bsen wrecked near that plaoe. Tbe train contained l^SOO persons, oompoeed of Methodist Si^day aehooi eeholan, their teacher and/elatives. They were going on an exonnion to Warren point.

Further diapatehee from Armagh show that the accident waa far more serious than at first reported. Seventy bodies have been taken from the wreck, and there are others buried "uodsr the debris. Warren Point, the place where the party waa bound,, ie a watering plaoe at the mouth of the Newry river, County Down. "'t&i

The following particulars have been received in* regard to *the accident to the excursion ists: The excursion party left Armagh this morning on two triuna. The accident oocured at a point where the trains hsd to aacend grade on a bank fifty feet high. The first train ascended the grade without trouble. The second section, tempted the ascent, but the weight ot the train proved too great for the engine. Several care were detached and allowed to run back towards the level track, but before they reached it they came in colliaion with an ordinary train from Armagh, whioh waa proceeding at a good rate of apeed. Tbe excureion were completely wrecked. The which eneued was heartrending. Hosts of volunteers were soon at hand and the dead and wounded were taken from the wreck and carried down the bank. Medical aid was called and a apecial from Belfast brought the scene twenty surgeons from that city and a number of medical men from other places between Belfast and Armagh The disaster is UDparallelled.: in the railroad history of Ireland. All the shops were closed this afternoon and the people are in general mourning.

The engineer, fireman and gttarcfot tbe train,and Jtjaa •traffij-aaanager's clerk were summoned before a magistrate and were, remanded on the charge of being nsible for the accident. 'he shrieka ot the children were horrible. The bodies of the viotime were arranged in rowa as soon aa recovered. Many were mangled beyond recognition. There ie acarcely a family in Armagh that has not some one dead. The embank ment on whioh the accident occurred ia 75 feet high.

espon The

Many touching acenee were witnessed. The children bore their injuriee with great patience. Wrecking gangs are at work clearing away the debria. A private of the Irish fusileers, before the collision, jumped on the foot plate of one of the can and dropped. four children to the ground. He then offered to assist others to escape, but his offer was refused. In many cease whole families were killed. Thpusande of people are visiting the eoene of the dieaster, and the air ia rent with lamentations.

Before etarting on the fatal exoursion the children paraded through the streete of Armagh with flags and banners, and the townsfolk turned out almoet en masse to wish them a happy holiday. The party of excursionists included ministers, teachers, the parents of some of the children and a few othsr adults.

The passsngers give different aocounta of the accident, but they all complain bitterly of the atupidity of thoee in charge of the wrecked train, who they say triad to block the wheels of the detached can with pebblee.

The train consisted of fifteen carriages. The bulk of the children were in the front portion of the tnih. Only about one dozen children were killed. The majority of the victims were about twenty yean of age. They were in the last carriage, which was completely smashed. Many ot the ocenpanta jumped from the windows andeecaped with slight injuriee before thecollieion. The panengen on the hind train were not.injured. They alighted and asaiated in tne work of relief. The acanee, on the identification ot victim# fay triendi painful in theextreme. All the nave now been taken from the wreck. The total killed ia aeventy-two, of which eixty-four have been identified.

The number of injured ia about onethird the entire number of peesengen. Many of these are oertain to auocumb to the effeota of their injuriee.

Tlie official canvass of flood suirvivon was commenced this afternoon, and there have been several partial lists ^returned to headquarters, but nothing official. The people who fled to the eurrounding hills are returnin|*very slowly and those not yet here are hard to reach. It is expected tbe canvass will be finished in about two days.

But ten bodies were recovered in nil to-day, the smallest record for any one day. This is accounted for by the fact that but few men were working to-day.

It took all day to pay tbe men who have eo far been at work, and not over one hundred to one hundred and twentyfive were doing anything. When it was found that few men intended to remain to work for the state at $1.50 a day and board themselves, a hasty consultation was held and it was thought beet to yield a point before the men left, as it would be difficult to induce them to return. It was announced therefore that they would be paid $1.50 and would be furnished rations as beofore. The notice was too late, however, and but few comparatively remained.

The bureau of registration reported to-day that 15,678 survivors have registered. Many registered twice and some hslf a dozen times, which caused the list to run up to 21,000. For the past twenty-four noun there have been very few namea registered, scarcely more than a score, showing that the work ia nearing completion. The number of bodies recovered is 1,192, of which 628 have been identified. 1
