The letters from Miss Le Caron, after the disappearance of Dr. Cronin, alluded frequently-to him, and intimated that the writer knew that tho Doctor was a victim of a vilo conspiracy, of which she knew the particulars. But she never gavo any detailed account of tho information, which eho meant to bo inferred she had obtained from her father, till after tho arrest of Coughlm, O Sullivan and lieggs. Ihen she became more definite. Le Caron, after his arrival in London, had warned Cronin and advised hi in to save himself by complying with what was expected of him. Le caron was cautious. Jn his letters he did not indicate from whom this danger to Cronin was to come, iuiss Le uaron, in ncr confidential communications to her lover. was not so discreet. In one of them she writes: "There is one man who got awav. and whom they should have arrested. Why did they not arrest BurlinghamT They might have learned a great deal from him." 1 he story outlined m the series of letters. of which there are very many, is to the effect that Lo Caron and Burlingham were both British spies; that Dr. Cronin, in his intimacy with them, soon learned theirreal character, and, in order to obtain from them fuller insight into their plans and duplicity, and tho designs of the English govern ment, he permitted them to think that ho also was venal and could bo hired by their ernnlovers. Ther made the proposition that ho enter the American branch of the secret service of Scotland Yard. He appar ently accepted. He obtained all their information, without giving anyjn return. They became - suspicious, and sought to ob tain from him certain papers which they had given him in his supposed character of spy. He refused to give them up. Meanwhile Le Caron was summoned to England to testily against Parnell. It was suggested to Cronin that he would be called upon later lor tho same purpose. Burlingham. the other representative of the British service in Chicago, was told to look out for Cronin and obtain, at any price, tho documents which would have revealed the close connection between certain high American officials and tho London detective system. Cronin refused to yield." and threatened tne exposure oi the Lnglish practices m America. Tho Scotland Yard people grow desperate. It was resclved to rob him of the papers, and it was in that attempt that tho Doctor was killed, the conspirators believ ing that he always carried the muchwanted papers on his person. Burlingham, who, it is alleged in these letters, should bo watched, sold out his drug storo at Norm Clark and Oak streets for a very low price and disappeared. Iho Journal has the same story in sub stance, and adds: In opposition to the above it is claimed that at tho proper stage of the Cronin trial tho prosecution will produce as witnesses T. J. Kirbv. Thomas LeCaron and Patrick Cooney. This, it is said, has been made possible by the efforts of Messrs. Hynes and Mills, of counsel for tho State, with the aid of the Pinkerton detectives. Kirby, as agent of the British government, was in Chicago for months before the murder of Dr. Cronin, prying into tho secrets of tho Clan-na-GaeL He was very successful, and returned to London full of information, not only about the workings of the order, but with full particulars of the plot against Dr. Cronin and the manner in which it was carried out. It was the intention of the British authorities to put Kirby on tho stand in the Parnell case, but it was concluded that tho evidence of Le Caron (or Beach) would be strong enough, and that no good would come of disclosing Kirby's Identity and the nature of nis errand to America until absolutely necessary. By keeping Kirby olt the stand the British au thorities would be able to use him to good advantage in other cases. After the trial Kirbv went to Canada, and was lost eight of nntil located a few days ago by tho detectives. lie was told wnat was wanted of him. and for a long time refused to have any thing to do with the case, t mally tho matter was put to him in such a light that ho consented to come to Chicago and appear as a witness for the prosecution when required. Le Caron has revealed to the American detectives the names of certain men on whom suspicion has not heretofore rested, and like Kirby, will be on hand, ready to tes tify when wanted. It may be well to state that in order to avoid any mistake about Kirby and Le Caron showing up when wanted, thev have constant companions in the shape of some of Pinkerton's most ar gus-eyed employes. Industrious researches to-day by a re porter produced the young man correspondent of 5iiss LeCaron. His name is George E. May. He is a clerk in a sporting goods establishment, and was an intimate friend of the LeCarons while they lived on LaSalle avenue. After a good deal of reluctance Mr. Mar finally admitted that he had been the recipient of letters from Gertrude Le Caron. "1 have received in all four or live letters from Miss Lo Caron," said he this evening; "three while they lived in New York, the rest since they have been on the continent. I hate to have my name brought into this thing, but I pledge you my word that there is not even a reference made to Dr. Cronin in all tho letters." May claims that the family left Chicago some time in March, and then lived in New York city until about June 1. This, it is pointed out, would not harmonize with tho supposed dates of the letters. Mr. May was certain Miss Le Caron had no other gentleman friend in Chicago with whom she corresponded, though he was aware s ho was writing to a certain Miss liichmond. Four Jurors Secured. Chicago, Sept, IS. A littlo before ad-, jourumeut of court to-day four jurors who had been repeatedly questioned by both sides in the Cronin caso were pronounced satisfactory by the defense. Counsel for the State withdrew for consultation, and on returning the State's attorney said: 'If the court please wo also accept these four." The fact that at last some jurors had been selected created quite a sensation. A secret conference took place between counsel for both sides and the court, after which Judge McConnell said: "The gentlemen who havo been accepted will rise and be sworn by tho clerk," and the four jurors rose and were duly sworn in. Tneir names aro James A. Pearson, of Glcnwood; John Culver, Evanston; John L. Hall. Fernwood; Charles C. Dix, 133 North Carpenter street. "Is there any objection to these four gentlemen retirine to rav room." inquired the J ndge. "It will be more pleasant for them there than hero." There was no objection, and during the remainder of the session tho jurors occupied tho Judge's chamber. Arranging a Fight lletween Light-Weights. San Francisco, Sept. 18.

Wilson, when tho latter produced a revolver which Mrs. Wilson took, and with the remark, "you daro me," pointed tho weapon at her husband, the barrel towards herself.

Beck was sent for, but ho saw that tho wound was mortal, and tho woman expired 15 minutes after his arrival.
