thrust his head over tho balustrade on the second tfoor, nnd said: All right; I'll dress and come down in a minute." I 9 He Roon appeared on the stairway, attired in his ordinary street dress. Descending to tlie parlor he recognized otneer Palmer, whom he has known for years, and, extending his hands, said: 'Why, how are you. Palmer! ion want me, do your , , .AA. "Yes.'' said Palmer, "I have amittimns for 3ou. I mippof. though, you aro not greatly surprised!" . "Well, slightlv at this hour.. I was jnst retiring. Will you not remain in the house all night, rather than go to jail!" "No." said Palmer, "I have not the authority to do that." "All right. Palmer, Til go with you," said Mr. Sullivan, cheerily. Then Mr. Sullivan walked to the rear of the hallway, where a female figure could be dimly wen behind the portiere. Placing his arm tenderly aronud the woman's waist, Mr. fenlliv&n hissed her, and then took up his hat. "Now I am ready," he said. The street door opened. Mr. Brown stepped out first, followed by officer Palmer. Next came Mr. Sullivan followed bv officer Broderick. Sullivan descended, the steps with a firm tread. His hat was set back slightly on his head, giving a clear view of his smooth-shaven face and clear, open eyes. His tread was firm, his posture perfectly erect, and his bearing manlv. ,r On reaching the sidewalk Mr. Brown took the attorney's arm and entered the carriage with the officers. By this time the occupants of the adjoining houses aud those across the street were awakenedand a dozen windows were opened. Little groups of men and women were beginning, to assemble on the sidewalk when the carriage quickly rolled away to the jail, scarcely a mile distant. It is reported in police circles to-night that no less than thirty warrants are being made out for suspected accessories, all of which will be served to-night or to-mor-tow. The list is said to include John F. Beggs. officer Dan Brown, Harry Jordan, Michael Boland, Lawrence R. Buckley, Peter McGeehan. D. C. Feeley. Frank Murray. J. J. Bradley, J. J. Cunea and John Moss. It is also reported that a warrant will be issued for the arrest of Henry Le Caron. the English spy, and his extradition demanded. The majority of those named are prominent officers of the Clan-na-Gael. Concluding Testimony IJefbre the Coroner. Chicago, June 11. In the Cronin inquest this morning, John C. Garrity, a saloonkeeper, testified that he was acquainted with detective Coughhn, now under in
dictment for complicity in the assassina-' tion. The witness declared that Coughhn came to him and said that ho wanted to hire a tough character known as "Major"Sampson, to slug a man. The witness told Sampson about it, and a few days later .Sampson told him (Garrity) that the man Coughlin wanted slngged was Doctor Cronin. lie wanted him slugged with a baseball bat and disGgnred for life. If it killed him it would not make much difference. J. II. Haggerty, a railroad clerk, gave the most important testimony this morning. After the trial of Doctor Cronin, he said, Alexander Sullivan told him that Doctor Cronin was a scoundrel and a menace to the Irish cause. It was the impression of the witness that Sullivan . was trying to express tho opinion that Cronin should be exterminated. The witness was of the same opinion at that time. About that time a circular had been issued saying that many Scotland Yard detectives had left England for America to attempt to find out some of the secrets of the order, and every person who was a member was on the lookout for informers. Tim Crane, who has since died, circulated the statement that Cronin was a dangerous man and a traitor. At that time SulliVan was not alone in his opinion. Le Caron, who was a friend of Alexander Sullivan, was a member of the committee which tried Dr. Cronin. lie was introduced to the witness by Sullivan at the trial as a many worthy of confidence in the Irish cause. He was opposed to Dr. Cronin at tho time on account of the statements of Alexander Sullivan. At tho afternoon session a number of witnesses were examined without developing anything of importance. Then Chief of Police Hubbard was sworn, and told of an interview which he had had with Woodrutf, the horse-thief. Hubbard asked him what he knew of the Cronin matter, and if he really was the one who drove the trunk from the Carlson cottage. Woodruff said he was. and then described the cottage. "He said," continued the Chief, "that he took the trunk about midnight on May 4. lie had been given by two men, the day before, to do the job. At 11:S0. on May 4, tho two men, according to agreement, rapped on the door of Dinan's stable. He opened the door and let out the horse, with rags on his feet, and hitched it to the wagon. They then drove to within 100 feet of the Carlson cottage. He was then told to wait, and the two left him and went into the cottage. They remained there five minutes, and then beckoned him to drive up. He did so, and the two. King and Fairburn. rind a third man came out with the heavy trunk. The third man was P.O.Sullivan. When the trunk was put in tho wagon Sullivan returned to the house. Woodruff, with King ami Fairburn, drove on Lincoln avenue to Fnllerton avenue, and thence to Lincoln Park. The men intended to take the trunk and contents in a boat out in the lake and sink them, but owing to the bright njght and the presence of strangers they changed their minds and drove back, when they reached the man-hole at Fifty-ninth street they tried to dump the trunk into it, but failing, they kicked the trunk open, they having lost the key, and took the body from it nnd threw it into the man-hole. Woodruff thought at the time it was the corpse of a woman. The trunk was lifted back into the wagon, but subsequently tnrown into the clump ot hushes wncre it was iouihl Ho then drove the men to Lincoln Park, where tliev departed. A loud buzz went through the court-room when tho Chief concluded, and it was re newed when Coroner Hertz, holding up a Mnall package, announced that he proposed to submit some of the private papers of the deceased. He hrst read two dispatches from New York, one dated Jan. 13. and signed J. T. McMahou. requesting the Doctor to be peremptorily at Westminster Hotel .Ian. 1 for a committee meeting, and the other of Jan. 1. signed Ronayne, say inc: "Ordered bv nrorer authorities that you send your report on the trial." To this a copy of the reply was appended: "I voto as I did at the trial. Mackey has the records." Then came the minority report of the Bufl.ilo trial, signed by Dr. 3Ict?ahey, of Philadelphia, and indorsed by Cronin. This has also been published. Finally, the coroner submitted the notes of the evidence taken at this trial, the handwriting of the deceased having first been identified. In this document the objections raised by Alexander Sullivan ji train st Cronin sitting on the committee were stated at length. The protest was overruled by the votes of Burns, Rogers, McGahev aud Cronin. One witness (name not given, but supposed to be Luke Dillon) testified that he was sent to England to do "active work." He was given 4 and a steerage ticket. As soon as they reached London tney were caned upon by two men, whom tney be lieved "to be Scotland Yard detect ives. Ho returned in three months, in the steerage. Upon his arrival he was given t."iO by one Donovan, and objected to the smallness of the amount. He was soon called npon to go across again and to take another man with him. One of the two men who was to help him was John T. Maronev. He was (riven only $200, and soon after his arrival in London the money gave out. Again he was called on bv British detectives. Here tho notes be come fragmentary. One nam graph reads: The work was to bo done, although money ran short. Saturday we did it. There were four men, and they were given JoGO. They did four operations." The witness did not use his assumed name in London. but that of the triangle's a cent. This agent, who was not within four miles from where the work was done, was now in prison. In this case the betrayers were toiled. The evidence went on to tell of the men sent across the water. Lomaskey and Fleming were sent in 1884. and killed in London. When the unknown witness wanted to raise a fund for the defence of the men on trial in Kngland, General Kerwin said that friendless men were better off at such times. When the witness re
turned from New York he had three halfpennies in his pocket. The row in the Pittsburg convention was gone over. Another witness told how Dillon had been given rooitey for his "active work," and howMornev had been given $400 at one time and at another by Gen. Kerwin in behalf of the executive, so that he could go into the furnishing-goods business in Philadelphia. Other witnesses told of Captain Lomaskey's missions of destruction to England. Carroll, Kerwin, and Boland were scored for neglecting the families of the dynamiters. Fleming's mother died in the poor-house. The captain's wife was turned out of her house by the sheriff. She testified before the committee that she had received $1,000 from the organization. She saw Alexander Sullivan, and told him her condition, but he did not aid her. This concluded the reading and also the inquiry. Special Grand Jury Summoned. Chicago, June 11. This afternoon Judge Shephard ordered a special venire to issue for twenty-three "good and worthy men" to act as grand jurors. The proceedings leading up to this result were very brief. The assistant State's attorney secured the attention of the Judge, and stated that he had been instructed by his superior, Mr.
Longenecker, to ask for the calling ot a special grand jury. Nothing further was Raid. The order was at once made out. and taken to Sheriff Matson. The jurors will be impaneled in J mice Shephard's conrt to-morrow morning. The assistant State's attorney said to a renorter that a special grand jury was summoned in orueu iuuu there might be no delay between the ending of tho coroner's inquest and the commencement of the grand jury proceedings in the Cronin case. OTHER IMPORTANT ARRESTS. John Maroney and Charles McDonald Held in New York—Who They Are. New York, June 11.— Acting upon instructions from the Chicago police. Inspector Byrnes to-day caused the arrest of John Maroney and Charles McDonald, two men whom he has been shadowing for suspected complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronm. The men are now at police headquarters. and will be held to await the arrival of officers from Chicago. These men have been shadowed by Byrnes's men for some time past, and yesterday the Inspector re ceived a dispatch from Chicago, for which he had previously arranged. It was as follows: Chicago, June 11. To Inspector Prrnes Arrest M. and Mo. Will send officers ana papers immediately. J. M. Longenecker, etatc s Atrorney. Geoege M. IIcbbard. Chief of Police. Maroney is thirty-eight years old, and claims to bo in the dry goods business. McDonald is the same age, and says he is a blacksmith. McDonald was arrested this morning by detectives Mulrey and Mulvey. Soon after ho had heen brought to polico headquarters Maroney was arrested by detective Von Gerichten. - The superintendent immediately notified the Chicago Solice of tho arrests. The man Maroney is ohn J. Maroney, a dry goods merchant, in business at JNo. o.x) Canal street, lie lias leen a nrominent tizure in Irish affairs for many years, especially in the iano. league. ha nan oiten snosen nuuiiciv aeainsi the use of violence in behalf of Ireland. He was arrested at the store. Very Uttle is known of McDon ald, who was shadowed to nis room on Last Forty-hrst street, Both prisoners were taken to inspector uyrness private room in the afternoon. They denied any knowledge of the crime. They said they had never been to Chicago or its vicinity. They admitted that they were members of the Clan-ua-GacL After the prisoners' arrest they were taken quietly to the Tombs. They were taken in at a side entrance into the private examination-room, and the greatest care taken to nrevent any publicity in the mat ter. Here they were remanded back to po lice headnuarters bv Justice Patterson. This will be repeated from day to day until the Chicago othcers arrive and secure their requisition papers. The prisoners will be neiu lor murucr, in accordance wiin me in structions given Inspector Byrnes from Chicago. An evening naner nrints this of Maronev: "He resided, once in Philadelphia, but made himself so offensive in Philadelphia that he was eventually compelled to leave the city. and since then he has been understood to have performed missions of a private nature in connection with tho Clan-na-Gael. On the occasion of the Oueen's jubilee, a few years ago, Maroney was one of a nnmuer 01 men wno went xo rugiauu wiiu funds of the revolutionary organizations lor the avowed purpose ot mowing up sev - ----- . r , v eral puoiic Duuuings. Jiaroney Diew up nothing, and two of his companions were arrested. One of them died in his lodgings while under arrest. Maroney is represented to nave enjoyea nimseii in tne various capitals of Europe on that oc casion. .When he returned to this country he was accompanied by a woman, with whom he traveled, and who was detained by the custom-house authori ties here for having silks concealed in her bustle. Maroney has never had any regular business, but has been generally well supplied with money. One of the charges made against Mr. Sullivan s administration was that $700 of the funds of the Clan-na-Gael went into a men's furnishing business, which Maroney carried on in Philadelphia, and in which he failed. 'Maroney was one of the men who, before Dr. Cronin's body was found in the sewer in Chicago, was most pronounced in his opinion that the lioctor had not met with iimu piajt oiib liau. iciu uunau iuuum diserace resulting from somo scandal with which he was professionally connected. He afterward succeeded in having himself interviewed by a reporter of aew York morning newspaper, to whom he said he be lieved there was a woman in the case. because a fincer supposed to. be a woman's was found in the culvert in which Cronin's body was discovered." Social members of the municipal council of the Irish National League, at the meeting to-night, told a renorter that they knew both McDonald and Maroney. They expressed surprise at the arrests. McDonald, they said, was a hard-working and sober mechanic. Of Maroney, they said there were strange features in his history, but they never know he was a member of the Clan-na-Gael. People in tho neighborhood of McDon ald's home said he was a hard-working blacksmith in tho employ of John McCook. He was married, and had. two children, and had not been out of the city in a year. He remarked to a friend, when the Cronin murder first became known, that he thought the Irish cause would be injured consider ably if it transpired that the Irish doctor had been murdered by Irishmen simply because he knew of certain irregularities. Maron Moroney is of Irish parentage, and was born in England. He has been married eight years, and has three children. He has been a drummer for a Philadelphia artificial hair firm. His friends do not be lieve him guilty. They say he has been in 1 . A t A the city continuously ior tne past six months. They are at a loss to know what he can be charged with, unless connection with the alleged jury that condemned Dr. Cronin to death. Another arrest was made to-night in con nection with the Cronin mystery. At about 7:UO delicctive McXaught brought a man to police headquarters. The police authorities were reticent, and would only sav that the prisoner was arrested on suspicion of being another important person in the case. The prisoner looked nervous. He is a powerful built man. A mysterious prisoner was locked nn at Soy headquarters by Inspector Byrnes's etectives to-uiglit, at 8 o'clock, "who is supposed to be another man to be credited to the arrest list in tne uronin muraer. ine man is about forty years of age, low-sized, of stocky build and swarthy complexion. He was hustled into the bmldin? by a back entrance and locked up. His name withheld. A short, rnddy-complexioned man walked into the Twentieth-street police station this evenmc and blurted ont to tho ser geant in charge that he was the Cronin murderer. He gave the name of Bryan McLaughlin, of No. 225 West Fiftieth street, and said he was a roofer by trade. He was locked up for the night. The police ueiiovo the man is insane. "What the Men Are Charged With. Chicago, June 11. Chief of Polico Hub bard was asked in regard to the grounds on hich McDonald and Maroney were ar rested in New York to-day on suspicion of being concerned in the Cronin murder. With regard to the roan McDonald, who seexni to be the most important of the two
witnesses, Chief Hubbard said: "We at
tach no great importance to the arrest, as all the fellow had to do with the case, so far as we know, is this: He is a well-known New York crook, and was absent fromew York at the time of tin murder, and we think ho was here, but we don't know yet. He cannot or will not tell where ne was on 4, but that does not prove that he murdered Doctor Cronin or na4 anything to do with the crime." "It is aliened that the Carlsons can identify him as the man who rented the cottage." 'Bah; sheer nonsense," "And that he was in all probability the man who drove the Doctor away." The Chiefs reply, though inelegant, was expressive: "Rats!" Luke Dillon, ot Philadelphia, on whose information the arrests were made, declined to say what the grounds of arrest were. State s Attorney Longenecker would talk. however, if Mr. Dillon would not. "The men are arrested, and . there is nothing to conceal now. Maronev is the man who is suspected of driving Dr. Cronin from his otuce to the ;arlson cottage. Aoout the other man I don't know so much, but we expect to prove that he was in the conspiracy. Maroney is a laborer, 1 think, and McDonald is a blacksmith. 1 got this in formation from Mr. Dillon, and we will learn how much truth there is in it later on." To-nicht information was derived from detective sources that J. J. Maroney, who was arrested in New York to-day, is a member of the Clan-na-Gael executivethat is to 6ay, the committee which governs tho whole organization, and of which Luke Dillon is a member. Maroney, it is claimed, has been identiticd by the salesman as the man who purchased the lurnituro which first went to Clark street, and after wards to the Carlson cottage. The identifica tion is represented as having been from a cabinet photograph of Maroney. This same Maroney is claimed, also, to have been identified as the person who rented the cottage. McDonald, the other New York man, was his companion. A witness has been found, it is asserted, who will swear that Maronev and McDonald are the men who posted the letter at Hammond. lnd., after tho tragedy, telling the Carlsons that tho rent would be forthcoming. Maronev wrote the letter, so it is aliened. and McDonald was seen to leave the train and post it. In fact." the story in a nut shell is that Maroney and McDonald were the two mysterious "Williams brothers." popularly credited with being the actual persons who took Cronin's life. NATIONAL CAPITAL GOSSIP. A Soldier Accidentally Injured by the Dis charge of a Pistol Is Granted a Pension. Washington, June 11. Assistant Secre tary Bussey has rendered a decision in tho case of Win. H. Robertson, late of Company 15, Fifth Michigan Volunteers, whoso claim for a pension was based upon the loss of a thumb from the accidental discharge of a pistol while on picket duty. The claim was originally rejected on the ground that the pistol was no part of tho soldier's equip ment. While admitting that this is ordiuauiy a met, tne Assistant oecreiary nnus 1 I X A. iV - t - . A X O 1 1 1 that the guns with which tho claimant's regiment was then supplied were of a very Inferior kind, and that pistols were fur nished the soldiers when on picket or other especially important duty. 1 he claimant. therefore, was guilty of no violation of the regulations of the service by using the pistol, and consequently was in line ofduty at the time of the accident. The pension is ordered to be granted. Indlaua Peniions. Pensions have been granted to the fol lowing-named Indianians: Original Thos. Norse deceased). AbnerBises. Jos. Kramer, Timothy Scott, John L.

An Irrepressible Member of the Right Who Wanted an Opportunity to Kill Somebody the Delay in Signing: the Samoan Treat j. Paris, June 11. M. Gellibert des Seguini interpellated the government in the Chamber of Deputies, this afternoon, in relation to the suppression of the Boulangist meeting at Angouleme on Sunday. He said the violence used by agents of tho government had aroused a strong ieeling in the country, and ho protested against further official interference with the, rights of the people. Ije said that things had come to such a pass now that the instant "Vive la Republic," or "Vive BouJanger," was cried the officials began to make arrests. The people were indignant at such arbitrary action. He warned the government that it was vain to attempt to terrorize the masses. They would persist in exercising their liberty, notwithstanding the efforts of the government to deprive them of it Applause from theRight,! M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, replied to M. Gellibert des Seguins. Ha stated that the government had ordered a display of military forco'at Augoulenie because the people, in receiving certain political leaders, had obstructed the highways. Interruptions from the Right.J Demonstrations like that of Sunday were generally tho work of paid agitators. At Arigoulemo agitators had even been summoned from adjoining departments. Hero there wero protests on tho part of tho Boulangist members, and M. Laur was called to order. M. Constans, continuing, said that M. Deroulet, one of tho persons charged with rioting, had' seized a commissary of polico bythe collar, and had injured his foot. The commissary had only performed his duty in arresting him, and tno.se who assisted him. Tho Minister then declared that the government would send more policemen to Angoulemo if such a meeting was again attempted. M. Laur shouted, "Just try, nnd I will blow tho brains out of the hrst one who approaches me." The President again called M. Laur to order, and also M. Cnneo d'Ornano, who had joined M. Laurin.resenting the Ministers language. M. Constans, resuming his speech, said tho government had to deal with a 11 a grant offense, and not merely with isolated cases. Similar scenes to those at Augoulenie had been enacted on the same day at Lyons and Correzee by the 6ame political party. Here another uproar occurred on tho Right, and the Marquis do Breuluil had to bo called to order. M. Constans, in conclusion, said it was impossible to tolerate such provocations any longer, aud tho government, in tho future, would deal severely with those who were responsible for them. 31. Constans was greeted with prolonged cheers from the Left as he resumed his seat. Tho trial of M. Derouledo, Laisant and Laguerre, for resisting the authorities at Angouleme, wheu they forbade the Boulangist meeting there on Sunday, was begun at that place to-day. The prisoners were charged with rioting and threatening tho police. Sir. Gladstone Greeted with an Oration. London, June 11.
