HE APPARENTLY TAKES HIS ARREST PHILOSOPH¬ICALLY AND WILL SOT TALK ABOUT IT ATALL.THE GRAND JURY. AFTER INSTRUCTIONS,COMMENCES ITS WORK UPON THE CRONIN CASE.

Chicago. June 12..Sheriff Watson said lastevening in reference to the speciul grand jurythat is to be impaneled to-day:

'.It will consist of first-class business men inwhose judgment and discretion the public wilihave implicit confidence."

"Will there be any Irishmen on the list?""No. But I do not mean this as a reflection

on Irishman, but to avoid all cause for com¬plaint on the part of any taction that mayexist."Assistant States Attorney Neeley said that

the grand jury had been summoned in orderthat there might be 110 delay between tbe end¬ing of the coroner's inquest and the commence¬ment of the grand jury proceedings in the Case.

THE RIGHT *EN CAPTURED.Luke Dillon said last night, referring to the

verdict of the coroner's jury: "This is a splen¬did day's work. I am as confident as I am alivethat with Sullivan and Maroney in the net nowwe have the right men. This crime will be fullyexposed. The plot will be unraveled and theguilty brought to punishment."

States Attorney Longneeker said last night,referring to the special grand jury: "It will beimpaneled at 10 o'clock, and we will proceedimmediately to place additional evidenceagainst the men under arrest before the jury;also some of the evidence already published. Itmay be that some of the men under arrestwill apply for a writ of habeas corpus in orderto get out, but I don't think any court will in¬terfere pending the grand jury investigation.We have much evidence not yet'published, andI am confident that some of our Clan-na-Gaelwitnesses will be more disposed to tell all theyknow before a grand jury than they have beenbefore the coroner's jury and two'score of re¬porters."

IMPORTANCE OP THE NEW YORK ARRESTS.The HtralU this morning says that Luke

Dillon is so positive that the men arrested inNew York yesterday, Maroney and McDonald,were engaged in tlio butchcry of Dr. Craniathat he advised John Cronin, the dead man'sbrither, to swear out warrants against them onthe charge of murder. It is known positivelythat Maroney was in Chicago on May 3. for aman who knows lum met him on the street.He was also in the city on April 17,when he registered at McCoy's house us W. G.Melville. Luke Dillon has cut the signatureout of the register to compare it with the hand¬writing of i'rank Williams, who rented theCarlson cottage, but owing to a press of otherbusiness yesterday he could not find time toget the letter from Chief Hubbard.Luke Dillon savs that

A SENSATIONAL CHAPTER RELATIVE TO MARONEYcould be written, but he declines to say morethan that he believes the fellow is one of themurderers. Maroney is still practically in theemploy of the old triangle.Of McDonald very little is known, except that

he is one of Marouey's dupes and chief lieuten¬ant. As he was absent from New York whileMaroney was, it is supposed that he, too. was inChicago.Late last night it was ascertained that

Maroney is supposed to be the man "Simmons"who rented the top fioor at 112 Clark street.The police are in possession of strong circum¬stantial evidence connecting Maroney with this,the first step of the conspiracy.

THE GERMANS ON SULLIVAN.The Germans of the city have made a very

decided stand in the Cronin case. The StoatsZritung, taking up the thread of AlexanderSullivan's life, has this to say of an incident inhis career: After the return of Alexander Sulli¬van to Chicago from New Mexico, where hehad filled the oflice of territorial secretaryabout ten years ago, an incident occurredwhich is described in detail in the iitaat*Zeitung of this city.Soon after his return, that paper says. the

United States government made an investiga¬tion. It was found that between *8,000 Knd£10.000 had been left unaccounted for bv Sulli¬van on leaving his office. As a result'of thisdiscovery an official order was issued fromWashington to cuuse the arrest or AlexanderSullivan on the charge of embezzlement unletsthe deficit were speedily made good. Sullivansucceeded in preventing his arrest for the timebeing, having prevailed upon two friends togive provisional bail for him.About this time it was. too, that Sullivan suc¬

ceeded in inducing Patrick Egan, the treasurerof the Irish national league, to furnish him with6100,000 for the alleged purpose of agitation inAmerica. Right on top of this he managed tostraighten up his account with the Federalovernment. paying the entire sum he badeen found to be short. This, says the paper,occasions the strong suspicion that he used a

part at least of the Egan fuud for the purposeof making up the deficitA HABEAS CORPUS FOB 8CLLIYAN.

A committee of Alex. Sullivan's friends metafter the arrest and requested James O'Connelto retain ex-State Senator J. W. Duncan as Sul¬livan's attorney. Mr. Duncan and his partner.ex-Judge Gilbert, went immediately to the jailand had a consultation with th'e prisoner.They aunounced that they would apply for »habeas corpus before Judge Tulley this morn¬ing, and expressed their confidence that hewould be released forthwith.

SULLIVAN'S NIGHT IK JAIL.Alexander Sullivan spent his first night in

jail in cell 27, which is on the first tier anddirectly opposite the entrance through the"cage" in which visitors and prisoners are al¬lowed to pass. He slept well during the night,the guards said, and if he felt the unpleasant¬ness of bis position he did not betray it, eitherby wortls or looks. He would not discuss hissituation or the facts leading up to his arrest,the Cronin tragedy, or any phrase of the case.Early this morning he was sent a supply ofclean linen from his home, and later a breakfastwas sent from a neighboring restaurant. Heate with apparent relish. About 9o'clock Thomas G. Windes, Mr. Sullivan'spartner, called at the jail to see him and theyhad a brief talk, but as to its tenor Mr. Windeswould give no information. Mr. Windesonly said that Sullivan of coursefeit the disgrace attaching to hitarrest for this murder very keenly, butthat he was conscious of his own innocence andthis buoyed |him up. Mr. Windes would notsay if any preparations had been made for hisCtner's defense. Up to noon to-day then

been no more arrests in the Cronin ease.THE OKAX9 JURY TO TAX* Til CASK.

THE CHAIN AOARCST MAKOSEY.A very strong chain of circumstantial evi¬

dence has been wound about John J.Maroney, one of the men now under.wrest in New Yoik on suspicion ofbeing connected with the murder of Cronin..The story ns given by the authorities is as fol*lows: Photographs were procured of Maronevand McDonald, the other man arrested at thesame time in New York. These were mixedwith a number of others, and shown first toSalesman Hatfield, of litveil A Co.. who soldthe furniture subsequently found in the Carlsoncottage in Lake View, in which Dr. Croninwas murdered. Mr. Hatfield, without hesita¬tion, picked out Maroney's portrait as that ofthe man to whom he sold the furniture.. Twe Eji"tnrP8 then mixed up ;:nd shownto Mr Throckmorton, the real estate agent whorented the rooms on Clark street, opposite Dr.Cronin s office, to which the furniture was firstcarted from Re veil's. Mr. Throckmorton pickedout the picture of Maronev as the man to whomlie rented the rooms. Oace more the pictureswere shuffled and this time they were shown toExpressman Martenson, who carted the furni¬ture from the Clark-street rooms to the Carlsoncottage iu Lake View where Dc. Cronin wasmurdered. The result was the same. Maronev'*picture was again selected, this time as the manwho had hired the furniture moved Neitherof these persona knew what had beendone by the other. In each of these cases theman irave his uame as J. B. Simmons. It nowremains to be seen whether or not the Carlsonswill recognize him as one of the alleged broth¬ers named Williams who rented the cottagc.

MARONEY AND McDONALD.The Former Asserts He is Entirely In¬

nocent of the Crime.New \ohk. June 12..John J. Maroney and

Charles McDonald, the two Clan-na-Gael menwho were arrested here yesterday by InspectorByrnes at the request of the Chicago authori¬ties. will be again taken to the Tombs policecourt at 3 o clock this afternoon for the pur¬pose merely of being further remanded untilthe arrival of the Chicago officers with thenecessary papers in the case.Mr. Roe. a well-known nationalist of this citv,

called at the central office last night and waspermitted to hold a short conversation with.McDonald. This morning a well-dressed man,w ho refused to give his name, called upon theinspector to inquire after the prisoners. Mar¬oney. it appears, has expressed his willingnessto go to Chicago and face the charge of murderwhich he believes has been preferred against

thi* he"isrtlUg m the most Posllive languageentirely innocent op the CRISfE.

Maroney uses every endeavor to create the im¬pression that he knows more about the murderof Dr. Cronin than he is willing to tell here.

,inspector, however, does not appear to

place much confidence in what this man sav*.As 011 yesterday, the representatives of the da'ilvpress are positively refused an interview withthe prisoners. Inspector Byrnes holds that in¬asmuch as the prisoners are merely in his cus¬tody awaiting the arrival of the Chi¬cago officers, he has no power to grantany such privilege: even if he had. the in¬spector says it would wjuld be a bad breach ofcourtesy, to say the kast. to permit newspapermen to talk with the accused before the officerswho are on their way from Chicago have hadan opportunity of speaking w ith the men. Themysterious man who was taken to police head¬quarters last night, and w ho was surprised tobe in some way connected with Maronev andMcDonald, turns out to be a man who was ar¬rested on the supposition that he had com¬mitted a robbery.
