than the tar user will acknowledge. The
teaman admitted that he waa a mem
ber ef the literary society, but refused
to say say thing further In that direction.
It was reported later that P. O. Sullivan,
the iceman, had been arrested.
Peter McGsehsa, of Philadelphia, wss
arrested at four o'clock yesterday morn
ing at McCoy's Hotel. McGeehan Is
charged with participating in the murder
of Dr. Cronia aad is being held at the
Harrison street station separate from the
other prisoners.
An extraordinary chain of circum
itaaces was brought to light last evening.
Miss Murphy who declared she saw Dr.
Cronia coming down town several hours
after he left noma never to return, is the
daughter of a saloonkeeper ia whoso place
an attempt was once made, it is said, to
leged woman scrape, She is also reported
. . -.. .. -r . .. .T ..
10 do a relative or. .uetecttve v naien, tne
partner of the suspected- Officer CoughBa,
but this latter statemeat she denies v .
The street car conductor Dwyer, who
corroborated the story that Croaia was
seen coming down to wa'aad presumably
look a traia cut of the city, is said to have
since resigned and disappeared. An ex
street car man named Tieman, whose
whereabouts could not be learneil, had re
cently been in the employ of iceman P. O.
Sullivan. It was one of the business cards
of this iceman that played such a part
in Iurinc Cronia to death. t
The man King described by the prisoner
Woodruff, alias Black, as the person who
hired him to steal a horse out of Dean's
barn the night of Dr. Cronin's disappear-
, anee, was captured at two o'clock yester-
day morning in a bouse of ill-fame. The
1 arrest was made by detectives from the
Central station who acted under orders
from Chief Hubbard. The capture wss
made with all possible secrecy, and King
was taken to the Central station by a cir
cuitous route. The officers walked beside
him in aa easy and natural manner, and
succeeded in getting him into the station
without attracting any attention. In n
number of particulars be answers the de
scription given of him by Woodruff.
I When Woodruff, alias Black, first told
his story he gave all the siace of t-repeated
particulars as to how he met King sad
' was engaged by him to take part ia the
tragedy of the trunk. It is a mystery that
King has not been arrested before, though
at ao time hss he apparently manifested
any desire to leave the city. The arrest
has been k-pt secret, as it is desired to
confront Woodruff with King. When
brought face to face the men may indulge
in mutual accusations that may be of
value.
King was the husband of a courtesan
who died not long ago.
The mayor aad Chief Hubbard, accom
panied by Attorney Hynes, who is assist
ing in the pursuit of the assassins ef Dr.
Cronin, went to the Chicago police station
at eleven o'clock last night aad. held a
long conference with Captain 8chaak re
garding Dan Coughlln's connection with
the crime. In discussing the case the
point was made in favor of Coaghlia that
had he wanted the rig for aay improper
purposes be would not have said "Any
rig will do," but woald have been very
particular as to the kind to be used for
such purpose. Oa the other hand the
point was made against Coushlia that his
story given in explanation was ridlcn
lou. The mayor and the chief held that
be might as well have given the name of
"John Doe" or any one else as "Thomas
Smith.'' In summing it all up they de
cided to hold Conzblin as a witness.
After the consultation it was under
