murderers ever be brought to justice Said the detective I think the chances are five to one against the police po-lice With the evidence thus far obtained I ther > can be no convictions It isnt at all likely that the men who committed the lkel in the crime itself are in Chicago or even country They have had ample time to get I out ofJfte country itfjve another theory not as tenable as the first one It may have been that there was no societj conspiracy at all It is possible I pos-sible that Sullivan got some woman into trouble and that Cronin became acquainted with facts which wore damaging to the iceman the strict moral man the latter knowing morl and religious principles of the doctor and urged on bj fears that the physician would inionn the authorities made a contract mC ohh I w th the doctor which lured him to his death 1 cannot but think that Woodruffs st 3ry about a woman has some foundation in fact 1 tie reporter afterward talked with Chief Hubbard about this theory Yes aJaitted

or shed adjoining the cottage greatest importance is attached to this report re-port as it is construed into the crowning evidence of the ice dealer Sullivans complicity com-plicity in the murder LiTEiiA rumor was circulated early in the afternoon that the police had succeeded Ii finding the clothes of Dr Cronin This apwars not to have had authenticity Little clvd nce was at first given to this report 1KB many other rumors it being without definite bC origin but Lieutenant Ross is authority for the statement that Cronius clothes were really found this afternoon and recognized as the property of the murdered mur-dered man The inference is drawn that they were found in or around Sullivans house as a squad of detectives are known to have devoted nearly all of today in searching the premises of the ice dealer The officer in charge of the squad in response to casual inquiries stated that at the time no discoveries i dis-coveries had been made but Chief Hub bard when confronted with the report bar refused to either affirm or deny the statement that the murdered mans apparel ap-parel had been found As the authorities have lost no time in denouncing a unfounded un-founded these rumors the conclusion is today to-day that at least the discovery of one valuable valu-able clue to the woof of the mystery that 5u cue the fate of the doctor has been jistatement will be printed tomorrow that Sullivan has engaged A S Tride as counsel and that within the last three days the two have had frequent consultations A reporter called on Tride this evening and asked him about the matter Oh I have known Alexander since he was a reporter re-porter said Tride and I have been consulted con-sulted by him He knows nothing about this affair This i a question of tail pulling lag you see Every Irishman is trying to twist the British lions tail and in their and jump on each iWiw they get jealous ech outer otr the Philadelphia convention the greatest great-est Irish Intellects clashed and Alexander Sullivan came out on top by electing Henry Shendan delegate This mad Sullivan a mark of jealousy by every prominent Irishman Irish-man who did not happen to succeed J Hines of Chicago used to b a friend of Hies Sullivan but the Philadelphia victory cost Sullivan his friendship This is the time seized upon by his enemies to ruin him but there will be a reaction I talking of the alleged diversion of the funds of the ClannaGael or united brotherhood Mr Tride said that that had been explained a dozen times and in five minutes any impartial man can understand clear from thSfMr Sullivan has been as cear misdoings as a sunbeam Mr Sullivan when seen by a reporter said he had not formally retained ride but Irad counselled with him as a friend Another arrest was made tonight The I rolice think the man may be the one who I drove the white horse rig which carried Dr CIonin to his death The arrest was I made in a lodging house The records of the house show that on the night of the I murder the man did not put in an appea acre till after midnight He has expressed he a fear a number of times since that would get into trouble about the mater I and tried to persuade the clerk to chang the record He is known only by the sobr quet of Mack |
