THE CRONIN MURDER. ‘Woodruff, the Horse-Thief, Makes An- other Confession. BE PROFESSES TO TELL ALL THE FACTS IN RELA- TION TO THE CRIME THAT ARE WITHIN HIS KNOWLEDGE—ALEXANDER SULLIVAN, P. 0'8UL- LIVAN, TRE ICEMAN, MARONEY, M'DONALD, DE- TECTIVE COUGHLIN AND OTHERS IMPLICATED. Woodruff, the horse-thief who has been in- dicted for complicity in the Cronin tragedy, has made another confession, which was pub- lished in un extra edition of the Chicago Times yesterday. He contradicts and discredits every other “statement” heretofore attributed to him, and now appears in the role of an ex- member of the Canadian militia, claiming that he was trusted by Cronin’s alleged murderers be- cause he furnished Fenian spies with valuable information during one of the military raids into Canada, Woodruff says he arrived in Chi- cago March 26, and obtained work from a gar- dener on Southport avenue, not far from Carison cottage. After three or four day’ ork for the gardener Woodruff was taken s His narrative says: “With the in- tention of going to the county hospital I drifted into O’Sullivan’s place. I made up my mind that he was a Fenian, and reminded him of certain scenes during the Fenian raid into Canada. I went over during that raid asa volunteer of the twenty-fourth Kent battalion, whose headquarters were at Chatham. We Went as far as Niagara, At that time J was as- signed to the adjutant’s department, and gave to some Fenian spies who came to our camp such points as I Jearned 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 [ came down and went to work at Dean's livery stable.” EACH SUSPECTED THE OTHER. Woodruff tells that he met Detective Cough- lin soon afterward, and had a drink with him, comveying the impression that Coughlin knew Woodruff to be a thief, and Woodruff believed the detective to bea “fence.” While walking together they met O'Sullivan, the ice-man. O'Sullivan mentioned Woodruff's request for employment, and Coughlin quizzed Woodruff thata man in his line should want “work.” ‘Woodruff persisted that he was laboring for bis board and clothes at the livery stable. Cough- lin and O'Sullivan went off together. “That was about the second of April,” con- tinued Woodruff. ‘Melville arrived in Chicago about this time (this is the first mention of Melville in the ‘confession’). I know this be- cause the day or two afterward I was over on the south side and went into the ‘Owl’ saloon, which is kept by Sol. Van Praeg. I had been over on Fourth avenue before that. I went into a back room and saw Melville and Cough- lin drinking together. This was in the evening. I 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 together Cough- lin left us, saying he had to keep an engage- ment.” Melville and Woodruff, so the latter says, made the rounds of the disreputable houses inthe neighborhood for an hour or more, and then Melville took leave. saying he was stopping at McCoy’s hotel. Woodruff complained of being “broke,” and Melville gave him $2 or $3, saying, “I want to see you again.” Two days afterward Woodruff‘ at- tempted to see Melville at McCoy's, and looked over the register and made inquiries of the clerk, but did not press to see Melville, not wishing to create suspicion. “Going north,” Woodruff continues, “I met MeDonguil near the Northwestern depot, and Coughlin +25 with him. (This is the first men- tion of McDougall.) AsI came up Coughlin said: ‘Good, he is just the man I want to see.” Turning to McDougall, he said: ‘Are you ac= quainted?’ I replied: ‘I guess I ought to know Mac.’ McDougail turned to me and said: ‘That will do; my name is Williams.’ 1 laughed and said: ‘A rose by any other name would —— be as sweet.’ I had known Mc- ugall, or. as he now calls himself, Williams, as a rough-and-ready spirit and a worker for the Clan-na-Gael, although during the inter- mediate time he had worked as a blacksmith, Coughlin and McDougall had quite a talk while Iwaited. Coughlin ieft, saying he had some business. As soon as Coughlin was out of sight Williams said to me, ‘Come on.’ In a saloon subsequently Williams said, so the story states: ‘How are you fixed?’ “WHY DON’T YOU SEE SULLIVAN?” “T said, ‘I am nearly busted,’ he . Why don’t you go down and see Alexander Sullivan?’ and I said I was not prepared to be sent to Europe. Williams turned to me, and, looking me squarely in the face, said it would not be necessary for me to be sent out of town in this case. The pair proceeded, Woodruff declares, to 117 Clark street. This is the piace where, as was frequently published, the furniture of the Carlson cottage was first stored. Woodruff says he demanded to know what he would have todo. Williams replied: ‘You need not know anything about it. Itisadeal, and you will not be implicated.” Turning round and looking him straight in the face, be asked, “Are you one of them still/” He referred to his helping the Fenians at the time of the Canada raid. He replied: “Iam as much as I ever was, if Iam paid for it.” This was about the 20th of April. On leaving Williams again urged him to go over and see Alex. Sullivan. Woodruff's narrative proceeds: “I went to Dean's barn and thought the matter over, and then returned and applied at Alexander Sulli- “Alexander Sullivan was not in his office, but going I met him in the. hall before I reached the elevator. I said: ‘Mr. Sullivan, McDougall sent me to see you.” “Mr. Sullivan said: ‘McDougall—ob, you mean Williams, don’t you’ I said: ‘Yes, I guess so; 1 slept with him last night. He wanted me to go over and have a talk with you. “Alexander Sullivan replied: ‘I have nothing to say; I have never met you before.’ “Well,” I said. “I think Ihave met you be- fore, although I have grown out of your recol- lection since I came from Canada. “I have but lately returned from California.’ “Sullivan repeated his first answer: «*I don't recollect you. I have never met you before.” “f told him I was looking for a job and Wi jams had recommended me to him. He sai: ‘No, I have no work for anybody. Are you @ stranger here?’ I said: ‘Ob, I only have a few acquaintances.” He asked: work would you like? I said God's world, if there is any mo: - looked at me sharply and replied: ‘If I hear of anything for you Ill let Mr. Williams know of it,” and walked away without even saying good- bye to me. i SULLIVAN A GOOD ENOUGH BANKER. “I met Williams an hour afterwards going out of bis room on Clark street. We took a grip | car and went over on the North Side. I told | him I had seen Sullivan and told him what he | said. We got off just before we got to Division street. We met Alexander Sullivan as we were coming out of asaloon. He took Williams on one side and took outa roll of bills. Taking several from the pile, he handed them to Wil- liams, saying: ‘Now, pay that rent.’ “They were on the outer edge of the sidewalk, perbaps 10 feetfrom me. Sullivan saw me and, taking Williams, he led bim some four or five steps farther away. They had quite a talk, and 1 knew from the way Williams looked back and laughed that they were talking about me. They came back after talking some minutes and Sulli- van @pproaching me said: ‘You must not take any offense at anything I seid to-day, as I was py sat and have a great many applications or . “Esaid: ‘That's all right,’ and he laughed, walking rapidly ahead toward Clark street. said to Williams: ‘What did he say, anything about me?’ Williams answered: not much; he doesn't have much to say anyway.’ I asked: ‘Is he your banker? He answered: ‘He's a — enough banker for us. I then left illiams and went back to Dean's stable. “T saw Williams on centennial day. He asked me whether I had seen Coughlin. and I told him ‘No,’ and asked him what the use of it was. He said, ‘Ob, nothing, but I am ina burry now.’ I lost him in the crowd, and coming over to State street some one hit me on the shoulder. I turned and saw it was Cou gh- lin. He asked me whether I had seen Williams, I told him where I had seen him. He then wked me to take # note over to Alexander Sullivan. ~He wrote a note in an alphabetical cipher. I Understood the cipher, as it was the same that was used by the Fenians when I was stationed at Niagara’ The principal was the employment of every seventh letter from the one intended He told me to take it up to Sullivan's office. I asked him in case Sullivan was not in whether I should leave the letter. He told me no, to tear it upif I could not deliver it to Sullivan per- sonally. I did not do this, and the ‘Going up to P. O. Sullivan's,” THE NIGHT OF Tue MURDER. “To come down to the night of the murder, after meeting Coughlin we walked toward Lin- coln park. He asked me if [ could another named Bates. la until 10:30 or 11 o'clock. Bates went aay a li o'clock. I waited an hour a half snd then led the grey mare down the stairs. I puta bi et ahead of her, over which sbe waiked to prevent the noise, ‘There is no truth in any story that her feet were cov- ered with I had left the wagon in the alley and I hitched cae up Lincoln avenue. When Cong’ me e informed me that [ would be met at Lincoln avenue by two men; I was to — them and bye oe of them where Williams lived; they would then get into the buggy with me. arriving near Ashland avenue and Lincoln two men jumped into the wagon without aword. I rec one of th by the name of O'Shea, alias Mike McDougall, whe was @ machinist or blacksmith from Phila- delphia. I had known him in Wichits, Kansas. McDougal is a man about 5 feet 6 inches in height, from forty to forty-five aa wears a nearly black must » Both his i and mustache are tarning gray. The other man was Melville. Melville is about 5 feet 11 inches tall. He is a cr aikg built, thick-set man. I had met him befor in Peoriain connection with Irish matters. They ordered me to turn to the right on Ashland avenue and directed me to drive right up to the cottage. The two men then jumped out and wentin. There was adim light in the frout room. After waiting a few minutes—I think it must have been nearly 2 o'clock—P.O'Sullivan, Melville and Williams came out of the door carrying a trunk between them. They lifted the trunk into the wagon, and Melville and Williams jumped into the seat with me.” DISPOSING OF THE BODY. Woodruff then narrated at great length how he drove toward the lake, his companions hav- ing expressed the intention of getting rid of the trunk there. They were alarmed by seeing @ policeman, however, and drove in another direction. Williams finally suggested that a sewer was as good a = as the lake, They then stopped at the frst catch basin they came to and dropped the bodyin. They tried to put the trunk in on top of it, but they failed and so they returned it to the wagon. Another stop was made while Melville and Williams buried Dr. Cronin’s case of instruments, and then the party drove on until they were alarmed again by the approach of a team. Wil- liams hastily left the wagon and threw the trunk over the fence amidsome bushes. On the way back the party passed the Carlson cottage and saw a woman going in the back way. Melville suggested to Williams that the latter had bet- ter go to the cottage later inthe day ‘‘to see that things are cleaned up,” but Williams re- plied: “We have been around there enough already. We will let Dan attend to that.” At Belden avenue Williams and Melville got outof the wagon, and Woodruff suggested that he would see them to-morrow. They replied that they might not be in trim, and Melville added: “You won't need any training now to work, Aleck.” Woodruff replied: ‘Well, I suppose I stand in with you,” but Melville retorted: “It’s every man for himself now.” The men then left, and Woodruff returned to the barn with the horse and wagon. Woodruff says in con- clusion: “The following Tuesday night I went to Mc- Coy’s hotel to find Melville, but was unable to do so. Wednesday morning I took the horse and buggy over to the south side, intending to see Melville and Alexander Sullivan and get some money, but could see neither of them. Then I drove to Foley’s stable and offered to trade the horse and was arrested. This is the first and only statement I have made since my arrest. It contains substantially all the facts in my knowledge, and I have determined to make a clean breast of the matter now.” DISCREPANCIES IN THE STORY. A visit was made to Woodruff at the jail yes- terday 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 says is to be more sensational than any of the preceding ones. Woodruff admitted that he was only twenty-nine years old, but insisted that he took an active part in the Fenian re- bellion. He says it occurred in 1876, but his date does not agree with his story. He says he went to the flat at 117 South Clark street on April 20, and stayed there all night with Williams, but the facts are that the flat was not rented by the mysterious Simons after March 22, for on that date the furniture was all re- moved from the flat and taken to the cottage. He says that he met Melville April 2, at McCoy's hotel, but the register shows that Melville left that hotelon March 20, and did not return until May 3. The | sega! also made the startling state- ment that he was with Dr. Cronia and P. O. Sullivan the night previous to the murder of the former. “But you say in the published confession that you played cards eng that evening with three men and that you did not leave the stable until 11:30 o'clock.” Woodruff hesitated a moment and then said: “Yes, that is my defense.” “Then it is not true?” “Well, [saw Cronin that night and I had a good look at him.” “Then you must have known it was his body in the trank?” “Why, I might as well plead guilty as answer that question.” “Did you have a good look at the body when it was taken out of the trunk?’ “No, I did not. It was very dark.” “Why did you tell this last story or opnfession after you had told so many others?” “Well, I was promised the influence of « great paper in my behalf; they said I would get the best side of the business.” A PRIEST A CLAN-NA-GAEL. Rev. Maurice J. Darney, the priest who car- ried the letters from Patrick Egan to Parnell that showed the perfidy of Pigott in the cele- brated case. is now being mentioned in con- nection with the Clan-na-Gael and Alexander Sullivan. The Chicago Trivune publishes the fo. ing: “There was an interestin, elevator of a Madison street building yesterday afternoon. The parties to it were Father Mau- rice J. Darney, the stock-yards priest, and H. E. Mollan, a merchant tailor. The talk was about the Cronin murder. Mollan used to be a Clan-na-Gael, He reminded Darney that he met him in one of the camps. Daruey said: “I never belonged to any camp; was never in any.’ “Mollan replied: ‘Why, Father Darney! How can you say that? Ihave frequently seen you in camps. I once saw you retire from the chair when, on the occasion of a reunion, you were reminded by the Rev. Dr, Betts, I believe, that you had forgotten to read your office, and it was approaching midnight.’ “Father Darney was for a moment non- | omer He asked Mollan’s friend for bis name. ollan gave it. There was instant recognition and instant surrender on Darney’s The Times has ti which, it is alleged. to have suppresse: “Father Dorney has voluntarily, in an inter- view in the Times, become the champion of Al- exander Sullivan, and he is the only Irishman of any prominence in the country except Pat- rick Egan who has done so. Had he confined bimself to an eulogium of his friend and asso- ciate, there might not be much objection to his woads on that score, but he went too far when he said he had ‘absolutely nothing to do with these society divisions and ——. Like Egan, he — probably compelled to speak out his de- ‘nse, ‘The Times has already published the fact that Father Darney was appointed a committee by the camp to which he belonged to examine the truth of certain charges and the books of Alex- wnder Sullivan about the time the latter was paying out thousands of dollars in liquidation of personal debts and dealson the board of trade. On Father Darney’s report, P.W. Dunne was expelled from the camp of the Clan-na- Gael, to which he belonged. It has also been stated in the Times that Father Darney went to pipette hay 1 ago to heal a division in the ranks of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Now these facts would seem to indicate that Father Darney did have something to do with “society divisions and quarrels, In this counection a rather humorous inci- dent occurred yesterday, Father Darney, M. H. Mollan, and a reporter happened to find themselves going upstairs in a bunch on an elevator in « big down-town building. “Father Darney,” said Mr. Mollan, “I see you deny in the that you ever had any- thing to do with divisions ‘in Irish societies. Now let me tell you that if it had not been for your action all this present trouble and dis- grace would never have ned. On your re Mr. e was and Alexander Sullivan exonerated.” “I only acted as the friend of both parties, — nothing p Page with the camp.” “Oh, yes, you ; you were a member of it.” Father Darney’s manner indicated a denial of the latter assertion, but on being ressinded ears old, interview in the part.” tory of the interview, ther Dorney attempted that he had also been seen at a rei of camp $6 he edmittod his memberahi ae So “Why, of course you were diere, seid Mr, Molian, “and you gxcused for alittle rhile, been so gentleman, and the latter said he nothing of the con' would be P es But the reporter decided iv us too Irishmen. is not and cannot be traceable to those with complicity in it, and makes a strong fense of Alexander Sullivan, whose honesty and loyalty be says cannot be questioned.

THE VOLUNTEER CRIPPLED. She is Warped and | Buiged, and She Will Not Defend the Cup. A Boston special to the New York Sun says: There are many ‘ifs’ and “ands” about the proposed international cup race, but in case the Valkyrie does come over here to strive for the America’s cup it is a positive fact that the Volunteer will not defend the cup. The Vol- unteer’s racing days are over. Gen. Payne will neither put the yacht in commission, nor willhe allow anybody elde to do so. The reason for this is not known to many yachts- men, The crack sloop is so badly crippled that it would cost as much to put her in racing shape as anew boat would cost. The plates are badly warped and bulged out of shape. This is due to the hasty construction and the severe strain to which the timbers were sub- jected. The fine lines have beon destroyed, and the yacht wonld fall far behind her work of other seasons. Gen. Paine prefers to let the yacht's record stand unmarred by defeat than take any chances with the boat in a crippled condition. The rig of the yacht could be changed from sloop to schooner, and the Vol- unteer would then be in tip-top condition for cruising, but as a racer the Volunteer is a back number, THE WAR-CLOUD IN EUROPE. The Attitude of Russia Still Causes Un- easiness. Joux F. A cablegram from Berlin, June 15, says: The American delegates to the Samoan conference are much complimented on the result of their labors. William Walter Phelps is regarded by every one as the coming United States minister, thongh he himself denies that he has been offered the position. The official press is dis- inclined to dwell upon the matter of the Samoan settlement, all the glory of which is lost to Germany, anda brief paragraph in the North German Gazette on the conclusion of the con- ference states that the agreement was arrived at with perfect unanimity by the powers repre- sented and to the satisfaction of all parties con- cerned, ‘The Servian government has refused to re- new the commercial treaty with Austria-Hun- gary which Sue in 1890, Everything indi- cates that the Russian party in Belgrade, confi- dent of its ascendancy, is working to effect some definite aim and that its schemes can only end in precipitating a war or in a peaceable parti- tion of the Balkan states between Austria and Russia. It is expected that the compromise will be effected in the Wohigemuth affair. Italy and England have not yet spoken on the subject, but should they support the demand of the other powers Switzerland will likely con- sent toa stricter surveillance over foreigners and remove the reproach of harboring revolu- tioniste, The Journal de St. Petersbourg makes an em- hatic denial of the alarmist reports circulated y foreign newspapers attributing warlike in- tentions to Russia. i TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTION, Recommending a New Chief for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
