Tlio Murdered * Mnn Identified.
The munlcr ctuo , of which a full account
appeared In yesterday's Ben , wns thn toplo
of KCnrral conversation on the streets yes-
tonlny. It excited far morn attention than
did the republican county convention , which
wus held t the court house. Everybody
wns Inquiring for clues , theories und the
latest developments , but there was but very
llttloto bo ascertained In ndultlon to what
hnd already been made public. Tno Inquest ,
which was to have hocn hold at 10 o'clock ,
was again postponed until 3 o'clock In the
afternoon , to BOO If some Important facts ro-
Kanllnj ; the murder could not bo ascertained ,
or If perchance the victim could not bo
identified. In both of those particulars wjis
the Jury successful , for several very material
developments have .since- coma into the pos
session of the police , und the Identity of the
duad man has been fully established.
Among those who viewed the remains yes
terday morning was mi acquaintance of the
deceased , who recojnlzud him 111 William
Spears , living on Sixth uvonuo. His wife ,
who worlis nt the canning factory , was noti
fied , mid she Immediately visited the under
takers , where the body still remained. Stio
stutcu that there was not the slightest doubt
that the deceased was her husband , whom
she last saw atlvo Sunday afternoon , at
which time ho stated that ho was going to
pick tomatoes for a gardener just out of the
city ; and for this reason she had felt no
alarm tiocnusc he dm not return. Sno could
furnish no Information that would glvo n
clue to the murderer or to what led to the
uwful tmgody.
She stated that when ho loft ho had about
$3 in money , but other fuels In relation to
his notions at that time show where the
money wont , so that thorn Is not the slightest
ground upon whieh to IJHSO n robbery theory.
The animus that led to the dentil of the un
fortunate man must bo looked for elsewhere.
The Inquest was finally held , but with
closed doors , und all newspaper representa
tives were religiously excluded. Neither
the coroner nor Jurors could bo prevailed
upon to reveal what transpired or what was
the imturo'of the testimony Introduced. The
only resource for the reporters was to watch
at the door und waylay everyone who at
tempted to puss eitlier in or out. In tills
way several important facts were gleaned.
It was learned that Spears was scon sev
eral times Monday afternoon und evening ,
the last time being but about an hour before
no was killed. Ho was drinking heavily
and wns considerably under the inllucnco of
liquor. Ilo was seen in a North Main street
saloon about 4 o'clock , and HIM in in the alloy
in tno rear of the "lied Front , " on South
Main struct , about 0 o'clock , ut vVhlch time
ho was very drunk and alone. Shortly after
7 o'clock ho was seen by a watchman at the
Northwestern depot , in co.npany with two
or three others , and was ordered away. The
party proceeded up the railroad track toxvard
the roundhouse , and it was but little more
than an hour afterward thui the roundhouse
employes heard ttio noise referred to in
yesterday's issue , in the direction of the
spot where the dead mini's b-uiscd and bat
tered Dody was found Wcdnosdiiy evening.
Such are the facts , as learned from wit
nesses who were summoned before the cor
oner's Jury , regarding what transpired dur
ing the fuw hours preceding the murder.
Suspicion naturally attaches to those who
wero.with tho.deceascd when last seen , al
though In the : ibscnco of eye witnesses nil
evidence is necessarily circumstantial. The
police huvo been devoting their efforts to
looking after these parties , who , it is stated ,
are two brothers named Brown , and one
Thomas Kulston. living in the northern part
of the city. Halston was arrested curly yes
terday morning by Oftlcor Cusick.
Onn ot these parties , Theodora Brown , is
wall known to the police , and has been ar
rested numerous times for various crimes
and misdemeanors. Ho is said to have
served one term in the penitentiary for man
slaughter , and is regarded as n bad man.
Brown , aside from being with the deceased
when last seen alive , was the one who first
identified the remains yesterday morning.
Ho was very much excited , and is , quite
naturally , un object of special interest to the
police justut the present lime.
Under the circumstances , it is quite neces
sary to find a motive for the murder , but
clews in this direction are somewhat scarce.
It is alleged by ono witness that there had
been trouble between the deceased and the
Browns , over a uonplo of girls who live
within about a quarter of a tnile of where
the murder was committed , and It is possi
ble that this diflleulty may have culminated
In the tragedy. The drunken brawl theory
is not generally accented as the correct ono.
The location of the spot where the brutal
work was done BO far from frequented
paths oC , travel , and in a lonesome tract of
woods does'uot admit of such a theory. In
this respect , the circumstances paint to pre
meditated murder.
Spears is alleged to have stated on Monday
that ho had no money , but that ho would
have $5 Tuesday morning , ni ho was to uluy
for a dance in the northwestern part of the
city that evening. Where the dance was to
have been hold Is not known.
The case is a good ono to test tbo detective
powers of the police , and hereafter , instead
of devoting their time to following the latest
developments of the Cronln case , they can
work to good advantage looking for the man
who killed Spears.
In the accounts given by some of the pa
pers it is asserted that the dead man was
shot through the temple and badly cut with
a knife.
'Ihoro is no foundation whatever for
these statements , as all of the wounds found
upon the head of the deceased were undoubt
edly made by the club with which the mur
der was committed. This is the opinion of
the nhysiciaiiH who huvo oxamincd the body.
Whether there was more than ono of tbo
murderers Is a matter of conjecture. Tlio
statement that there must have been nt least
three of the murderers on account of the
wounds of a club , Hnlfo and pistol is all buu-
combo
The coronor's jury Is carefully Investiga
ting the matter , and will not return a verdict
until the facts ere sifted to the bottom.

The Latest Story About Dr. Cronln' *
Alnrilcr Denounced.
CHICAGO , Sept , 19. The morning papers
all denounce yesterday's sensational story
about Lo Caron's daughter bavlo'g furnished
evidence tlmt Dr. Cronln was murdered by
emissaries of tbo British government as a
plot of the so-called "triangle. " The Even ,
ing News publishes the following :
"Why , the story isn't any peed ,
supposing. it wcro true , " laughed
Judge Longoncckor , referring to the fairy
tale of letters from Gertie LcCaron , which
nra said to contain the true story of thu mur
der of Dr. Cronln. ' 'The letters nro utterly
inadmlssnblo as evidence , " ho continued ,
"and then , if they wcro , does that explain
away the guilt of the defendants hero ! If
Coughlln secured the whitp horse to driva
the doctor to death , how docs this story ex
cuse him ) Why should Burke , who hired
tbo Carlson cottage , oscapot It Is a prepos
terous story ntiu utterly useless as a de
fense. "
The ilnry Quest.
CHICAGO , Sept. 19. The Cronln Jury quest
was resumed this morning , but up to the
close of the morning session no additional
jurymen wore secured.
When called after recess it was under
stood that the attorney for Woodruff , who is
to have a separate trial , would move for the
discharco of his client on tbo ground that
the statutory time under which ho U entitled
to a hearing had passed.
The states attorney arose and said to the
court , "Woodruff Is also hold for horse steal
ing , and on his own motion that case was
continued until next term. In addition on
his motion this case was continued to August
IS , and then to this term by consent. On his
own showing the state has the whole of this
term to try him , and under n suu'iomo court
decision can continue it until next term on
showing good cause. " The matter was sot
for a hearing to-morrow afternoon.
No more jurymen were secured to-day.
