[e Says That He Was Employed By the Lawyer—Woodruffs Antecedents.

CHICAGO, June 16.—All previous "con Bions" of Woodruff, the horse-thief irbo has been indicted for complicity in lie Cronin tragedy, were eclipsed this Horning in an entirely new story from lim published in.

extra edition of the

lie contradicts and discredits

Bvery other "statement" heretofore attributed to him, and now appears in the roll of an ex-member of the Canadian lilitia, claiming that he was trusted by 3ronin's alleged murderers, because he furnished Fenian spies with valuable information during one

the

military raids into Canada. Woodjff says he arrived in Chiago March 20th, and obtained Iwork from a gardener on south Port •avenue, not far from the Carlson cotItage. After three or four days' work for •the gardener, Woodruff was taken sick. I His narrative says: "With the intention [of going to the county hospital, I drifted I into O'Sullivan's place. I made up my I mind that he was a Fenian, and remind.lad him of certain scenes during the

Niagara. At that time I was

assigned to the adjutant's department, and gave to some Fenian spies who came to our camp such..points as I had -learned while in that place. That was my first connection with the Clan-na-Gael. O'Sullivan told me he would get me some work if possible. From there I came down and went to work at Dean's livery stable."

Woodruff tells that he met Detective Coughlin soon afterwards and had a drink with him, conveying the impression that Coughlin knew Woodruff to be a thief, and Woodruff believed1 the de1 tective to be a Fenian. While walking together they met O'Sullivan, the iceman. O'Sullivan mentioned

Woodruff's request for employment, and Coughlin quizzed Woodruff that a man in hie line should want "work." Woodruff persisted that he was laboring for his board and clothes at the livery stable. -Coughlin and O'Sullivan went off together. "That was about the second of April," 'continued, Woodruff* "Melville arrived in Chicago about thmlime. (This is thd first mention of Melville in the 'confession.') I know this, because a day or two afterward I was over on the South Side and went into the 'Owl' saloon, which is kept by Sol Vanpraag. I had been over on Fourth avenue before that. I went to a back room and saw Melville and Coughlin drinking together. This was in the evening. 1 knew Melville, as I had met him in California. He was a great friend of Desmond and 'Sand Lot' Kearney during the labor troubles there. After taking several drinks Coughlin left ue, saying he had to keep an engagement." Melville and Woodruff, so the latter says, made the rounds of the disreputable houses in the neighborhood for an hour or more, and then Melville took leave, Baying he was stopping at McCoy's hotel. Woodruff oomDlamed of being -'broke," and Melville gave him $2 or $3, saying, "I want to see you again." Two dayB afterward Woodruff attempted to see Melville at McCoy's, and looked over the register and made inquiries of the clerk, but did not press to see Melville, oot wishing to create suspicion. "Going north," Woodruff continues, "I met McDougall near the Northwestern ,depot and Coughlin was with him. (This is the first mention of McDougall.) 'As I came up Coughlin

I laughed and said: 'A rose by any other name would probably -be as sweet.' I had known McDougall, or, as he now called himself, Williams, ?as a rough-and-ready spirit and an old worker for the Clan-na-Gael, although during the intermediate time he had worked as a blacksmith. Coughlin and McDougal had quite a talk while I waited. After a talk, which I did not hear, Coughlin left, saying he had some business. As Boon as Coughlin was out of Bight Williams said to me: 'Come on.'

WilliamB replied, "You need not know anything about it. It is a deal, and you will not be implicated." "Turninground and looking me straight in the nice, he asked, 'Are you one of them still?' He referred to my helping the Fenians at the time of the Canada raid. 1 replied, 'I am as much as I ever was, if I am paid for it.'" ThiB was about the 20th of April. On leaving, Williams again urged him to over and see Alexander Sullivan.

IrufTs narrative proceeds: "I went ^Dean's barn, and thought the matter *, and then returned and applied at Alexander Sullivan's. Alexander Sullivan waa not in his office, but going out I

met him in the hall before I reached the elevator. I said: 'Mr. Sullivan, Moi, Dougall Bent me over to see you. Mr. liSullivan said: 'McDougall? Oh, you mean Williams, dm't you?'

A visit was made to Woodruff at the jail this afternoon, for the purpose of learning further details of his last startling confession. The prisoner was found deeply engrossed in the preparation of another confession which he Bays is to be much more sensational than any of the preceding ones. Woodruff this afternoon reiterated his confession published this morning, but on close examination subsequently altered it in many important particulars. He admitted that le was only 29 years old, but insisted that he took an active part the Fenian rebellion. He says it occurred in 1875, but his date does not agree with history. He said he went to the rooms at 117 south Clark street, on April 20th and stayed there all night with Williams, but the facts are that the rooms were not rented by the mysterious Simons, after March 22d, for on that date the furniture was all removed from the flat and taken to the cottage. He

world, if there is any money in it.' He looked at me sharply and replied: 'If I hear of anything for you I'll let Mr. Williams know of

and walked away

without even saying good bye to me. I met Williams an hour*sfter going dut of his room on Clark street. We took a grip car and came over on the North Side. I told him I had seen Sullivan and he asked me, 'What did he say?' 'lie came pretty near telling me to go to hell without doing it.'" Soon after this they met Sullivan on the street. He took Williams on one side and handed him money,, saying: "Now pay that rent." Then seeing Woodruff, Sullivan told him he must not take offense at his manner the previous day, as he wae very busy and had a

great

nanny ap

plications for jobs. The Wednesday before the murder Woodruff met Coughlin, who asked him to take note over to Sullivan. This note was in cipher, the same as had been used by the Fenians when Wqodruff was at Niagara. Woodruff 1'

read. "Go

P. O'Sullivan's."

Tl /remainder of his confession deals mainly with the night of the murder. Coughlin, so Woodruff alleges, paid him $25 to bring to Lincoln avenue from Dinan's livery stable a conveyance in which a trunk could be carried. Near Ashland and Lincoln avenuet, Melville and a man named O'Shea, alias Mike McDougall, joined Woodruff. The latter says this man was a machinist or blacksmith from Philadelphia, but that he had known him in Wichita, Kan. Melville, he said, he had also met before in Peoria in connection with Irish atlairs They drove dut to the Carlson cottage, reaching there about 2 a.m. The two men went in, and soon after P. O'Sullivan, Melville and Williams came out of the door, carrying a trunk, which they placed in the wiwon. Here follows a new version of tlj« ride with the trunk and the disposal of the body in the sewer. Woodruff now says the intention was to have the trunk sunk in Lake Michigan off Lincoln park, but thinking they were pursued, the plan was abandoned. Woodruff claims tbafg Cronin's instrument case was probably buried or thrown in the lake by Melville and Williams when they left the wagon in the woods for a short time at Edgewater. He does not know what disposition was made of his clothing. Woodruff concludes by the assertion that he has recently been approached by a lawyer, who offered to take his case gratuitously, and that this lawyer had said to keep strict silence as Alexander Sullivan's attorney would work in unieon, and that oneof Sullivan's bondsmen had agreed to pay for Woodruff's defense. The climax of the whole "confession" is an assertion by Woodruff that all liis previompfifted "confessions" are bogus, and that this is "The first and only statement I have made since my arrest," the intimation being that the other "confessions" were given circulation by interested persons to create the impression that he (Woodruff) was a liar.

that he .met Mel

ville April 2d at McCoy'a hotel, but the register shows that Melville left that hotel on March 20th and did not*eturn until May 3d. The prisoner this afternoon makes the startling statement that he was with Dr. Cronin and P. O'Sullivan the night of and previous to the murder of the former. "But you say in the published confession that you played cards all that evening with three men, and that you did not leave the stable till 11:30 o'clook." Woodruff hesitated a moment, and said,

Yes, that is my defense." "Then it iB not true?" "Well, I saw Cronin that night, and I had a good look at him." "Then you must have known it was his body in the trunk?"

Why, I might as well plead guilty as answer that question." "Did you have a good look at the bodj when it waa taken out of the trunk?" "No, I did not. It was very dark." "Why did you tell this last Btory or confession after you had told so many others?" "Well, I was promised the influence of a great paper in my behalf. They

would get the best side of the business." The only evidence that the police place any reliance in Woodruff's latest "confession" is the tact that Lieutenant Scheutler and his men went to the foot of Graoeland avenue

SENSATIONAL SCINK.

A Mother Who Went to Jail Rather Than Ion Her Child. CINCINNATI, June 16.—A sensational

scene was enacted this morning in Judge Outcalt's court, the common pleas. He has had in hmnriftg and under consideration for several months an unusual habeas corpus esse, where two women claim to be the mother of the child for whom the writ was issued, Miss Kate Schaller averred that she gave birth to an illegitimate child and placed it in the hands of Mrs. Humbser, the midwife, to dispose of, and that Mrs. Humbser placed it in the family of Mr. W. J. White to be adopted.

Subsequently Mies Schaller wished to recover possession of her child and applied to Mrs. White, when that lady informed her that the baby Bhe had was not an adopted child, but was her own. The testimony before the court was most conflicting, but Mr. and Mrs. White brought many witness to show that the disputed baby was theirs. They have had it in charge during the trial.

To-day the judge was to render the decision, *but Mrs. White appeared in court without the child. When asked by the court where it was Mrs. White in a determid manner, answered: "Judg^Outcalr, I was submitted to a severe examination the other day, and I understood- you were gotng to decide against me, and I have protected my child. I know the consequences and I am here to abide by them, and if I hav^ to stay in prison ten years, I am satisfied, so, if at the end of that time, I have my darling."

This reply, of course, made a sensation. Her attorney promptly disclaimed having advised this course of action, and asked that his client have time to reflect^ The court said that if Mrs. White, did not produce the child she must suffer the consequences of contempt of court, and he allowed her tiil noon to coneider. The resolute mother for two hours was urged by her sttorney and friends to produce the child, but at the end of that time she remained firm and went bravely to jail under sentence of the court for contempt.

The "Big Talk" Was Not Plain. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dak., June 16—•

Via Rushville, Neb.—The commissioners were informed this morning that the Cheyennee desired to have a council with them, as they did not understand the language in which the commissioners' speeches- were explained. It appeared that when the Cheyennes were leaving their camps for this caucus, the Sioux soldiers interfered, and told them that they must not talk to the commissioners. This action indicates the policy of Red Cloud and his following, and is in lino with their conduct of yeeterday.

The Sioux Indians had a council with each other this morning while the cominisBionifcjr were talking with the Cheyennes. At this couccil, there was considerable excitement. About fifteen chiefs spoke in opposition to signing the bill, giving as their reasons that the goverrment had not fulfilled the promises of the treaty of 1868.

The Alton's action is due to dissatisfaction with the apportionment of live stock traffic from Missouri river points. The

Bame

road has

given notice of a reduction in the lumber rate, Chicago to Kansas City, from sixteen to thirteen cents.

CHAMPIONS WM AGAIN.

The Terre Haute Club "Plays Horse" With the Indianapolis Loeal Champions.

IN SPITE OF COMPASSION THE SCORE IS 15 TO 2.

However, the Fact Was Made A pparent by the Large Crowd That This is a Ball Town.

About seven hundred persons went to the ball psrk, yesterday, to see the home club win

easy victory from the Grand

Avenues, of Indianapolis. The victory was too essilr won to make an interacting game. 'Hie home club out-played the

club went' to 'vtya1T"*1HWfand made

five

earned runs. Schneider knocked a twobagger snd brought in two men when the bsses were full, and Nelson followed with a long fly over left field fence, making a home run and making live earned

in that inning. Eitel-

jorg pitched a beautiful game but Pfaff could not control the ball until the last. The visitors played a poor fielding game and were afraid to venture running bases. After the fifth inning the home club played carelessly and in the last the umpire tried to give them a score but could not. McCrossan played a good game at first base for the visitors. The following is the official score:

NOTES.

The Grand Avenuee would probably play parlor base ball better. Mr. H. P. Schmidt will attend a meeting of the league managers, at Danville, this evening.

It is to be hoped that Bannip, who umpired the game yesterday, will umpire all of the league games here.

Zwick sprained his ankle BO that he had to leave left field and one of their base runners fell down on third base and a substitute had to run for him.

There ia talk of South Bend and Logansport asking to be admitted to the league to-day. It is quite probable, however, that it will be a four-club league.

Several Indianapolis visitors witnessed the game yesterday and their constant wonder was at the size of the men in the home team. They looked large on the diamond yesterday by comparison.

The Champaign club will play at Terre Haute on the home grounds to morrow and Wednesday. The disbanding of the Bloomingtons will not disturb the games, but will merely change the order of playing.

Games yesterday: Cincinnati 4, Brooklyn 3 St. Louis 10, Athletic 5 Columbus 4, Kansas City 0.

The league per centages: Boston 757, Cleveland 628, Philadelphia 585, New York 578, Chicago 452, Pittsburg 400, Indianapolis 308, Washington 277. In the association the order is as follows: St. Louis. Athletic, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Columbus, Louisville.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.

A Resumption of Proceedings—^The Work of the Grand Jury.

Circuit court will resume operations this morning after a vacation of two weeks in the midst of term, and the grand jury will reconvene after being adjourned for the same time. Since court was adjourned several cases of larceny and one case of aggravated assault and battery have been awaiting the court's attention, and many of the attornies have been using their unemployed energiee by kicking vigorously against such proceedings. Of couroe they could only kick in the air, because the court was absent and thsre was no spscial judge to whom to complain. The police threw open the gates to a fruitful field for the circuit judge and the grand jury, Saturday night.
