A morning paper says bat ono of the most Important statements In connection with the Cronln murder was made yesterday by Jack Stanloynn cmployo of the city sewerage department , to a couple of friends. The statement In brief was that Woodruff , the man supposed to have driven , ho wagon in which the trunk containing > ocln'8 body was hauled away from the Carlson cottage , had frequently been seen by Stanley in conversation with Detective Coughlln , several weeks previous to the murder. Stanley , when soon to-day , denied Having seen Woodruff in conversation with Coughlln or that ho had made any statement ; o that effect. The principal interest in the Cronln case was centered in the grand jury that mot this forenoon. The strict orders of secrecy in stituted yesterday were In no wise departed from. Mrs. Conklln was the first witness who testified. Her testimony was a ropotl- tion of that which has boon many times published except that she attempted a mlnuto description of the man who decoyed Cronin to his death , nnd which , so far as Mrs. CoiiKlln's memory extends , tallied per fectly with the published description of Mc Donald , now under arrest in Now York. The remainder of the jury's investigations dur ing the forenoon were devoid of interest. The younger Carlson's description , of Wil liams , one of the men who rented the cot- Lago , tallied in many respects with that of John J. Maronoy , the Irishman whom the Now York pollco have in custody. Chief of Police Hubbard says that Thomas' Desmond , an Irish nationalist , of San Fran cisco , who is suspected of complicity in the Cronin murder , nnd who is said to have given the Now York detectives the slip a few days ago , has been located in San Francisco und that ho can bo had whenever wanted. It is alleged that Desmond registered at McCoy's hotel April 10 , nnd that between that dnto and April 31 , when ho loft the hotel , ho hold numerous conferences with the man who reg istered as "Melville , " but who is believed to bo Maronoy , now under arrest in Now York. Hubbard received a dispatch this afternoon announcing the arrest of the mysterious in dividual who is bcliovod to bo badly wanted in connection with the Cronln case. The police would say nothing about the captuio Qxcopt that the follow resembled Frank Williams , ono of the men who rented tno Carlson cottairo. All the witnesses examined during the afternoon had previously testified at the coroner's ' Inquest. They were Detective Palmer , Dinans , hostler ; Morcland , M. E.

"What do I think of the present status of the case against Alexander Sullivan ? " said Rev. Father Dornoy to-day. "J. don't see that there hat been any case made out against Alexander bullivan. I have been for years a warm friend of Sullivan. I am his friend to day. I have implicit faith in his innoconcoofanycoancctionwithsuchabrut.il crime. I don't ' und can't bollevo such a thing possible , of that man. I have known him closely and under various and trying circum stances. All along the course of the coro- nors's Investigation prejudice has been aimed at Sullivan. Every witness was put on the rack to ascertain if ho could not possibly say or bo made to say something that would incriminate - criminate Sullivan. It seems to mo in its earliest stugo the investigation ceased to bo an inquiry into the murder of Dr. Cronin , nnd became an inquiry as to whether the foul deed could not bo fastened upon Alex ander Sullivan. It was not , 'Who are the murders of Dr. Cronin'so ) muoh as , 'Can ' this charge bo laid at the door of Alexander SuUivonl1- " Father Dornoy denounced the murder at longtn. Ho believed there would soon bo re action in the public mind as to Sullivan. Re garding the Irish society divisions and quar rels Father Dornoy said : "From what I have seen of the testimony alleged to have beau glvon nt the inquest there has been us much mallcnlty shown against .Alexander Sullivan as could possibly bo found towards the opposing factions among his friends. I also feel certain.much of the newepapor case against him , created and published i.n some of the papers , was originated and kept up by prrsonul enmity. Before Sullivan's ' arrest a number of friends did not care to express any opinion in his favor for fear of their utterances being mis construed as an attempt to divert the course of public justice , yet no sooner was the ar rest made than his friends felt free to glvo utterance to their sentiments , and now you will Ibid there uro hundreds of the friends of Alexander Sullivan who have the same faith and confidence- his inuocenco as I have myself. " Father Dornoy is pastor of St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic church , ono of the handsom est sacred cdlllcos in Chicago. Ho is ex tremely popular with his congregation , near- every person in which is of Irish birth or parentage. The Requisition Donlod.

That no proof whatever was presented showing that the accused are guilty of the crime charged against them , as required by the laws of this and all other states.

In the morning they wont to the Henry VII. chnpol to hour a normon from Dean Bradley , and after wards paid n visit to the house of com mons. In the nftornoou they attended a reception given by the Institute of Civil Engineers. Sir John Geode , the chairman , road the for- malndarcssof wolcorao on behalf of his col leagues.

After the usua.1 loyal toasts , the chairman ; In a neat and oulogistlo speech , proposed thai' "United States of America , " coupling the name of Mr. Lincoln. As the latter rose to respond , n tremendous salvo of cheers greeted him. It is his first appearance la public , slnco his arrival in England , and ho adverted to the fact in his frank , boyish voice , when tno enthusiasm of his hearers had in a measure subsided. Ho had not realized before that such a welcome could bo accorded to an American , minister In Eng land , or clsowhoro , and ho was at a loss to know how to respond. Ho had been warned to leave engineering alone , be cause there were present so many exports , so ho did not feel at liberty to refer to his own experience us an onginocr when ho had charge of tin army and navy engineering' corps. In that period of his experience ho had seen some of the greatest engineering feats of the tune , namely , not only the im provement but tlio creation of rivers and harbors on the American const. Ho wtvs also debarred from speaking too much of the United States , because there were so many Americans present that ho dared not speak anything but the truth ; whereas , his first impulse was to yield to the feelings which ho had brought away from the Washington centenary and paint his native country In such glowing colors as would occasion an exodus of all the British engineers to America. What Mr. Lincoln did say however was in effect that the present occasion was ono of many which had come under his notice showing the per fect good feeling thai bound America and England together ; that much of this Interna tional amity was duo to the work of the en gineers , who were rapidly destroying tlma and space , and that ho hoped that this Rood fooling would continue forever.
