H.vnos , of Chicago , used to bo a friend of Sullivan , but the Philadelphia victory cost him his friend ship. This time is seized upon by his enemies to ruin him , but there will bo a reaction. " In talking of the alleged diversion of the funds of the Clan-na-Gnol , or United Broth erhood , Mr. Trudo said : "That has been explained a dozen times , and in five minutes any impartial man can understand that Mr. Sullivan nas been as clear from misdoing as a sunbeam. Mr. Sullivan , whan seen by a reporter , said ho had not formally retained Mr. Trude , but had counselled with him as a friend. A DETECTIVE'S THEOIIY. The Daily News this evening prints a con versation with a detective xvhoso name is not given , who has been watching the case closely. Ho thinks the three men uow in jail know all about the murder and could give the police the right clues , but they never can bo convicted on the evidence now in the possession of the stato's attorney. One of them must squeal , and ho argues that it lies be tween Sullivan and Woodruff to do tiuo. The detective thinks Coughlin made the ar rangements for the murder. To Sullivan was entrusted the work of fixing up the con tract with Crouln. The hiring of all the rigs Couahlin attended to himself. Ho first met Woodruff , whom ho know to bo a croon and always ready for any shady transaction. He did not confide any thing to him , merely tell ing him that ho wanted some work done , and then made the dicker with Dinan for the rig which his friend was to call for. The men known ns Williams did all their own work , the hiring of the cottage and the buying of furniture. The detocllvo thinks that al though there were perhaps twenty persons in the conspiracy , only two or three besides the actual murderers know that Cronin's life wus to bo taken. ' 'Will the murderers over bo brought to justice ! " said the reporter. "I think .the chances are five to pne against the.police. With tho'evidence thus far ob tained there con be.no couviutions. It isn't ' at'all likely that tUomen ; who committed the crime itself are 'in . .Chicago or oven in the country. Thb.v had'ample time to get out of the country. I have another theory not as temablo.as the rirst ono. It may have been there w'as no society conspiracy at all. It is possible Sullivan got some woman into trouble. Crouln became acquainted with with the facts , which were damaging to the ice man. The latter , knowing the strict moral and religious principles of the doctor , and urgeil on by the fear thot the physician would inform the authorities , made a con tract with ttio doctor which lured him to his death. I can not but think Woodruff's ' story about a woman has some foundation in fact. " A reporter afterwards talked with Chief Hubbard about this theory. "Yes. " admitted Hubbard , "wo have a man working on that feature of the murder. Sullivan is a bachelor , und it is not unlikely ho may have gotten some woman into trouble. What connection this may bavo with the murder wo don't know. I don't place much reliance in the theory. " A lIUMOKEn I'INI ) . It is rulnorcd that the police , in their , further search , to-day , of the cottage in which Dr. Crontn was murdered , found a pick and other ice tools , presumed to have been the property of P. O. Sullivan , the Ice dealer. The authorities arc reticent as to the result of to-duy's investigations.and refuse to ufilrui or deny this rumor. The theory is advanced that it was with blows from these instruments that Dr. Cronin was so foully murdered , Put when it is remem bered that the notable discovery of. the post mortem examination was that the skull was In no place fractured , this conjecture does not appear reasonable. Tha tools to-day dis covered arc understood to have been hidden partly under the ground and in u rubbish reap in an out room or shed adjoining the cottage. The greatest importance is attached to this discovery , as it is construed into crowning evidence of Ice Dealer Sulllvun's complicity in the murder. CltOSI.N'S CLOTHES FOUND. The rumor circulated early in the after noon that the police bad succeeded in finding the clothes of Dr. Cronln. This appears to have been not without authontitlcy. Llttlo credence was at Jirst given to this report , but Licutcnunt Ross was the authority that Cronin's clothes were really found this afternoon r.nd recog nized as the property of the murdered inun. The inference is drawn that they were found in or around Sullivan's house , us a squad of detectives are known to have devoted nearly all of to-day lu scurching the premises of the ice dealer. Tlio ofllcor in charge of the squad , in response to cusual inquiries , stated that ut that time no discoveries hud been made , but Chief Hubbard , when confronted with tlio later report to-night , refused to either ntllriu or dcnv the statement that the murdered man's apparel had been found. AH the uu- tboritles huvo usually lost no time in de nouncing unfounded rumors , the conclusion is that to-duy bus at loust witnessed tlio dis closure of one valuublo clue : to the mystery that surrounds the fate of the murdered doctor , ANOTIlKlt A1UIE4T. Another arrest was muuo to-nicht. The police think the man may bo the ono who drove the whlte-horso rig which carried Dr. Cronin to his death , Tbo arrest was made In a lodgik'p : house , the records of which show that 01 the night of the murder , the mun did not put in an up- penrnnco until after midnight. Ho hus ex pressed the foar.ii numbcrof times since that ho would get into trouble lu the Cronin mat ter , mul tried to persuade the clerk to change the record. Ho Is known only by thu so briquet of "Muck. " ' ' Chicago's Kfitlinato of Ijonu. CHICAGO , May 30. [ Special Tolegrntn ta TUB BKE , | It has developed that Reporter Long , who sent the sensational dispatches from Toronto in regard to the presence of Dr. Cronlu in that city endeavored at that time to Impose ) his fake on all the prominent papers of Chiuauo , Tlio peculiar feature ol his imposition , however , was that In every instance hh > proffered information waspio- faced by u request for nxorbltunt remunera tion , For lubtimce , to ope paper ho tele graphed : "Do you want 500 words good matter on Dr. Cronln-iflO. " Thin or u similar dispatch was sent simultaneously to every leading paper of Chicago , and the theory in advanced that perhaps , after all , young Long's fake was dovlsod , not as tlm consu m- mntlon of n deep-laid conspiracy , but simply for the purpose of making money out of ns many papers as possible by the barter of n woll-coricoctod story , pertinent to the market and the occasion , but absolutely without foundation. The gravity of the offense np- pears now for tlio first tlmo to bo fully ap preciated by the young Canadian sensation alist , and ho Is doubtless hovering between a frank confession and a subborn reiteration of his statements. Tnoso who know Long best In Chicago ridicule the idea that ho would nave been selected by Starkoy or anyone ono else as n proper person to be trusted with confidence In their consummation of n conspiracy of such heinous character , and maintain that under the pres sure of suspicion ho will break down in a few days and confess that the crime of which ho has boon guilty Is the contemptible ono of palming oft for facts n sensational story of unqualified falsity. The estimate placed upon Long's character Shore by those who know htm well , Is that ho is of a shallow and vacillating disposition , and altogether the last person whom any Judge of human nature would select ns an accomplice In a conspiracy involving human life.

Ho declared ho had absolutely no dealings with Long , and had no knowledge of the matter at issue. B1UXON9 1IU V 1 NO BUlii WE K11S8. Dr. Punlco Thinks It Will Help the Cnusn or Prohibition.

He thought it meant great good for the cause of prohibition. "It will help us in two ways , " said Dr. Funko. "Thoro will bo in the first plnco the natural antipathy against the British capitalists , who have como In hero. They will not bo looked upon popu larly as Americans are ; nor as these who have boon here long In the business. You can see easily enouch how this will work. The fact that the brewery owners , who would bo among the losers by prohibition , are Britons , wouldn't bo any argument to the Irish against our cause. "Then there Is that matter about the al leged confiscation of vested Interests and so forth. You take a brewer who came hero many years ago and built up ills business under the sanction and protection of the law , and it does seem hard to many that other persons should step in and destroy his business. With a foreign syndicate in possession , it will bo very dinicult. People will say. "Well , why didn't ' you stay at homo ? Wo can't look out fnr your interests if you don't do it yourself.
