Now Being Unraveled at Chicago
Gathers Still Deeper Mystery
Than Ever.
The Facts of Doctor Cronin's
Visit to the Fatal Cottage
Well Established.
Chicago May 29. In regard to the story
told by a private deteotive named Brooe
printed last evening in the Daily News to
the effeot that Brnoe had been offered a
. eum of money to kill Dootor Cronin. Al
derman MoOormiok eays there is no truth
in the story whatever. He says it is a
pieoe of spite work on the part of Brnoe

tike legal steps to have Brnoe punished
for his false statements.

iu mis sbury wmon ueteotive uonghlin told
abontthe connection of .the man he oalled
Thomas Smith from Houghton Miob.
than has been supposed. The man oalls
himself Wilard Smi h The notes of
Cooghlin's statement to Mayor Creigor
were prodnoed before the (fraud jury yes-
terday and they plaoed Smith ia an ngly
pobition. He visited Chicago
Avenue station to inquire for
Conghlin. Cooghlin ' and himself
immediately established intimate rela-
tions. Smith really paid $3 to Conghlin
as payment for the ose of a boggy given
on Cooghlin's reoommendation. This is
established by the testimony of the desk
sergeant at the station. Smith has re-
cently been v keeping company with a
somewhat f roliosome yoong woman at a
certain resort here. The same yoong wo-
man is the intimate friend of a Finkerton
deteotive. She has given the deteotive
some valuable pointers in reference to
Smith. Smith shaved oil bis heavy beard
the day after the Cronin mnrder. The
barber who did the shaving has given
testimony that Smith threw away his
slonoh hat the same day and bought a new
one which he now wears. The latter has
been discovered and oan be prodooed if it
is deemed advisable. Moreover the hostler
at Dinana's livery stable identifies Smith
as the person who drove off the white
horse on the evening of May 4. Smith has
been rather flu-h recently. He has spent
money freely and oouli not aooount satis-
factorily for himself. He is on exoellent
terms .now with the authorities.
THE INQUEST ADJOUBNED.
Chicago May 29.- Coroner Hertz ad-
journed the Cronin inquest this morning
to Monday morning next. No evidenoe
was heard. The adjournment was taken
at the suggestion of State's Attorney L ing-
neoke who was of opinion that taking
evidenoe in pubtiomigbt hamper the po
lice in their work of the investigation of
dues.
SMITH TAKEN IN.
Chicago May 29. It is reported the
polioe have m ide another arrest ia the
Cronin case this morning in the person of
Willard J. Smith. Smith is the Michigan
friend of Conghlin and the man for whom
Cougblia says he hired a horse and boggy
ontne nignc uronin was murdered.
AN ABBBSI.
South Bind Ind. Miy 29. Millard
Williams of this city was arrested last
night near Chain lakes where he had been
fishing. He i suspected of being the per
son who drove the rig containing the re-
mains of the murdered Dootor Cronin.
Williams is a native of this city but for
several months past nntil the day follow-
ing the disappearanoe of Dootor Oronin
he has been living iu Chicago On the
day of Oronin's disappearanoe he returned
and it is said qe departed from Cbioago
so suddenly that all his effeots were left
behind. He denies all knowledge of the
crime.
WILLABD SMITH'S DENIAL.
Chicago May 29. The intimation in
several morniDg papers that Willard J.
Smith may possibly know something more
of tbe Cronin oase than has yet been sus
pected brought that gentleman into the
city this morning from Riverside. He
went before Chief Hubbard and after
again denying any oomplioity in the mur-
der at the suggestion of the chief visited
the jail and Deteotive Conghlin was
brought in from his cell. The suspicion
against Smith rests en the faot that his
name is Smith; that he oame originally
from Hanoook Mich. and tbat he does
not give a very straight aooount of his
life in this city.
"Hello Willard!" said Coughlin when
he was confronted by Smith.
"Hello Dan" replied Smith. "Is this
trie Smith yon ment when yon stated that
the buggy yon ordered at Dianane was for
Tom Smith of Hanoook Miob. an old
f rirnd who had sinoe gone to New Mex-
ioo ?" asked Chief Habbard.
"It is not" said Conghlin.
He affirmed this statement and the chief
said to Smith "I guess this ought to set-
tie it."
Smith ia nnder arrest.
TESTIMONY BEFOBK THE GBAND JDBT.
Chicago May 29. Tbe testimony as
eb lotted before the grand jury in the
Cronin case yestetday was not only very
important bat thorough. Tbe chief wit-
ness was Milkman Merles. He said:
"'I passed Carlson oottage 1872 Ashland
avenue on the night of the murder. I saw
a boggy containing two men and a white
horee drive up to tbe door. Tbe man
seated on the left the horse was f aoing the
north) jumped from his seat hastily and
ran np the steps. He carried two pack-
ages. Before he had time
to - knock at the door
it was opened it appearing to me that
some one was waiting inside the hallway.
At the instant the man stepped inside the
door the man in the buggy whipped np
and drove rapidly north to First street
when he tnrned west and was lost to sight.
I had been driving past the oottage when
I saw tbe man in the buggy get out and
run np the steps and the buggy drive
away. After attending to my business at
a g'rooery store near by I returned
over the same road past the oottnge on
my way home. This was perhaps thirty-
five minotes later. I saw a light iu the
oottage and heard a hammering or smash-
ing sound."
It was plainly evident fom the above
testimony that the man who ran so rapidly
np the steps was Dootor Oronin intent
only on rendering suooor to some dying
man.
The next witness was Carlson sr. owner
of the cot'age: "When a man who oalled
himself Frauk Williams rented my oottage
maron zu i noted that be went over and
talked to Sullivan the ioe man. He ap
ptreutly talked familiarly with bim. As
the month of April epproaohed the 20:h
and rent day was coming near
I began to think it strange
mat my tenant aid not oooupy tbe prem-
tses. I wanted a reliable tenant. Seeing
the man had talked with Sullivan I
stepped over and spoke of his queer oon-
duot in not living in the house be had
rented and added that I felt eomwhat
anxious abjnt my rent and the perma-
nency of my tenant."
"He is all right" said Mr. Sullivan to
me. "He will pay yon all right enough
wucu IUS U1UIMB IS Up.
Mr. Sullivan at first denied that he ever
saw the man.
Tbe oonneotion of the ioe man
Sullivan with the Cronin mystery
and the oause of his arrest and detention
are here made plainly apparent.
Young Carlson was the next witness for
the state: "I was present when the fur-
niture was brought to the oottage two
aays alter rental March 22. Two men
who oalled themselves Williams unloaded
the trnok. The driver remained seated.
He did not handle the goods.
I casually stepped up to the
driver and discovered he was a Swede
I spoke to him in that language and he
told me tbat he bad brought tbe furniture
irom 117 Ulark street.
The story of the men who rented the
oottage having formerly roomed at
117 Uiark street where the furniture was
taken by A. H. Bevels company is thus
verined.
The Police Searching tbe Carlson Cottage
and the Result
Chicago May SO. The polioe have
been making aotive searoh for Cronin's
clothes and medical oase and tbe two
yards of ingrain oarpet whioh was taoked
on the floor of the parlor in
the Carlson oottage. Lieutenant Sohent
ler and his men went through the
ioe man's house to-day bnt did not
discover anything whioh oonld be nsed as
evidenoe. They looked under the carpets
and ripped np the flooring in one
or two plaoes and searohed every
room and oloset in tbe dwelling
One officer examined every possible
hiding piaoe in the attio and another
looked through the oellar; the barn and
the outhouses were also Bearohed
Before giving np the search the officers
will look through all the oaten basins and
under the sidewalks on School street and
Belmont avenne fiom Ashland avenue to
tbe river.
AN OLD DETECTIVB'8 THEOBY.
Chicago May 30. The Daily News this
evening prints the following: "An old
deteotive at oity hall who has been keep
in np with the case pretty olosely was
reviewing the evidence to-day. He said:
The three men now in jail know all about
the murder and conld give the polioe tbe
light clues whioh wonld result in the ar
rest of the aotual perpetrators of the
orime. But these prisoners can never be
oonvioted of the murder on the evidenoe
whioh the state's attorney now has in his
possession una or them most squeal
or it will not be brought in. It lies
between Sullivan and Woodruff. The
state's attorney won'd prefer to get the ioe
man's story and I think be would promise
to let Sullivan off easy if he gave tbe
whole plot away. If he did givenp every
ihing 1 think it would be something like
this: Ojuglin made all arrangements in
the first plaoe for the murder. He made
out the plans. 01 ooursehe knew his men
before he approaobed them. To Sullivan
he entrusted tbe work of fixing np the
oontraot with Dootor Cronin. The hiring
of all boTseii and rigs Coeghlin attended
to himself. He first met Woodruff whom
he knew to be a orook and always ready
for any sbady transaction. He
did not confide anything to him
however merely telliug bim be
wanted some work done at an early honr
in tbe morning. Then he met Dinan
abont the rig whioh his friend was to call
for the night of May 4. The Williams
brothers aid all their own work hiring of
the Carlson oottage and buying of form
tore. I think that although there were
tit least twenty persons in the conspiracy
bnt two or three besides tbe aotual mur-
derers knew that Cronin's life. was to be
taken."
"Will the murderers ever be brought to
justice f"
"Tbe ohanoes are five to one against it.
With the evidenoe thus far obtained there
oan be no convictions. it is
not at all likely that the men
who oommitted the orime itself and did
tbe actual deed are in Cbioago or even in
the country. They had ample warning
and got out of the oountry after the find-
ing of the body. I have another theory
whioh is not as tenable as my first one. It
may have been tbat there was no Clan-na-
Gael oocspiraoy and that another motive
altogether prompted the murderers. It is
possible Hnllivan got some woman into
trouble; that woman may have been a rel-
ative of Conghlin. Doctor Cronin be-
came acquainted with the facts in the
oase which were very damaging
to the ice man. Tbe latter knowing
the strict moral and religious principles
of the dootor and urged on by the fear
that the dootor would inform the authori-
ties that Sullivan was guilty of a grave
orime made the oontraot withtthe dootor
which lured him to bis death. I oannot
but think that Woodruff's story aLout the
woman has some foundation in faot. The
polioe ought surely it seems to me to
look up Sullivan's history of the last year
and see it he was not involved with some
female.''
ONE OF THE SUSPECTS.
Tobonto Ont. May 30. W. J. Starkey
a lawyer who fled from Chicago to this
oity some time ago to escape proseoution
for tampering witn a jury ana who tins
been aooused of oomplioity with C. F.
Look in tbe preparation of dispatches
about Long's alleged interviews with Doc-
tor Cronin visited the newspaper offices
this morning and said he arrived in the
oity only yesterday after a month's visit
in New York. He declared be had abso-
lutely no dealings with Long and no
knowledge of the Cionin case.
TOOLS DIBCOVEBED IN THE COTTAGE.
Chicaoo. May 30. It is rumored that
tbe polioe in their further search to-day
of the cottage in whioh Cronin was mur-
dered found a pick and other ice tools
presumed to have been the propertj or
P. O. Sullivan ioe dealer. Tbe authori-
ties are reticent as to the result of to-
day's investigations and refuse to affirm
or deny this rnmor. The theory is ad
vanced that it was with blows from these
instrument that Doctor Cronin was
so foully murdered but when it
ia remembered that a notable
disoovery of the post mortem
examination was that the skull in no
plaoe was fractured this oonjeoture does
not appear reasonable. Tbe tools to-day
discovered are understood to have been
hidden partially nnder ronnd and ia I
rubbish heap in an out room or shed ad
joiuinK tbe oottage. The greatest impor
lance is attached to this report as it is
oonstroed into evidenoe of Sullivan's oom-
plioiy in the murder.
The statement will be printed to-morrow
that Alex. Sullivan has engaged A. S
irnde as oonnsel and that within the last
three days the two have held several long
conferences.
"What about your retention by Alex
Sullivan?" was asked of Mr. Trade to-
day. "I have known Alexander sinoe he was a
reporter and I have been oonsulted by
him. He knows abont tbis Cronin affair
He did not believe he was dead bnt
thought he had disappeared for the pur
pose of affecting a result in the Philadel
phia convention. Tbis is a question of
tail pulling" continued the attorney
"You see every Irishman is tryiog to
twist the British lion s tail and in their
ardor tbey get jealous and jump on eaoh
other. In the Philadelphia convention
the greatest Irish intellects in the oountry
olashed. There was never an Irish con
vention in the United States in which
there were suoh intrigues and suoh a bit
ter oontest. Alex. Sullivan oame out on
top eleoting Henry Sheridan a delegate
Tbat victory made Sullivan a mark for the
jealousy of every prominent Irishman who
did not belong to his party. W. J. Hynes
of Chioago nsed to befriend Sullivan. 'He
and Judge Moran defended him in the
Hanford case but tbe Philadelphia vioto
ry oost Sullivan Hynes' friendship. This
thing is seized upou by bis enemies to
ruin him bnt there will be a reaction."
In talking of the alleged diversion of
the fund of the Clan-na-iiael or United
Brotherhood Mr. Trude said:
"Tbat has been explained a dozen
t:mes and in -five minutes any impartial
man oan understand that Mr. Sullivan has
been as clean from misdoing as a sun'
beam. . Mr. Sullivan was seen this evening
and he said that he had not formally re
tained Mr. Trude but bad counseled with
bim as a friend.
chief hcbbabd's views
. Chicago May 30. Chief Hubbard
talked with an Evening News reporter re
garding the above remarks of the deteo
tive about a woman in tbe oase.
"Yes" added the chief "we are working
on that feature of the murder. Sullivan
is a baobelor and it is nut at all unlikely
he got in trouble. If suoh is the faot we
do not know whetber there is any Oonneo
tion between that oiroumstanoe and tbe
murder of Dootor Cronin. It is being
thoroughly looked into."
"Dj you put muoh faith in it?"
"I do not."
Story of the Man Who Laid the Carpat in
Carlson Cottage.
Chicago May - 31. An evening paper
says some valuable information in the
Oronin case has been gathered from the
man "Maok" alias Williams alias Mo-
Williams who was arrested in a cheap
lodging house. .Maok claims to be a oar
penter. He told the following story:
On the 2d of May hs was working for
Mrs. Wilson on North Ashland avenue
soaroely a blook from tbe Carlson cottage
Maok was putting in screen windows at
tbe time. While at work a lady whose
name he understood to be was Mrs. Dud-
ley oame in and began to talk with Mrs.
Wilson. Mick was in the same room
and he overheard every word. Mrs. Dud
ley who is a stout fleshy woman was
talking very bitterly against 'the physi
oian who had attended her husband.
Maok says he heard the name
"Doctor Cronin" mentioned but he
did not know who whether
the physician complained of was Oronin
or not. Mrs. Dudley seemed very muoh ex-
oited and frequently made the remark in
(rreat spirit "I will get even with bim."
Mrs. Dudley said she was working in an
orphan asylum on Borliogton street bnt
she was going to leave the asjlum and
that she daily expeoted to go to live with
her two brothers in a cottage
near by. Mrs. Dudley pointed
in the direotion of Carlson
cottage referring to the plaoe she was go-
ing to move into as the Chioago Nursing
and Half Orphan asylum on Bunting
street. It was found tbat Mrs. Dudley had
been there but had sinoe gone away. It
is believed that Williams is one of the
men who rented tbe Carlson oottage; that
he is a carpet layer by trade and that he
laid the carpet in the oottage.
Montbeal May 31. It is believed that
the man Maok who is nnder arrest for
supposed oomplioity in the Cronin mur
der is one of the Williams brothers who
hired the Carlson oottage in whioh the
deed was done. He answers very closely
tbe description of the man who drove tbe
buggy with a white horse. He is known
to the publio by the name of Williams
but bis identity as one of tbe Williams
brothers remains to be established.
abbaigned fob ceonin's mubdkb.
Chicago May 31. P. O. Sullivan the
ioe man Frank Woodruff and ex-Deteotive
Onughlin were arraigned before Judge
Williamson this afternoon oharged- with
the murder of Dootor Cronin. Tbey were
broogbt into oourt from jail through an
iron passageway and immediately after
pleading not guilty were taken
back again. Very few spectators
were present and only one man Sullivan
had an attorney in oourt. Lawyers David
and Donahne.who attended to the Yomaus
case happened to be in oourt at the ti:ne
trying another oase. Mr. David entered
tbe stereotyped motion to quash the in
dictments but no date was set for the ar-
guments. Eton of fie prisoners was fur-
nished with a copy of the indiotment
against him.
A CONSULTATION.
Chicago May 31. A long conference
ended this evening between W. J. Hayne
Lather Liplin Mills Starrs Attorney
Longneokee and Superintendent Hubbard.
At tbe close of the meeting Mayor Craiger
also was present and went away with Hub-
bard aod Longneokee. Tbe state's attor-
ney said that no warrants were in imme
diate contemplation.
The private papers of Dootor Cronin
have been in possession of Mr.
Miles who is engaged in the task of look
ing through them for a due. His task is
not completed but a report was made by
him on the worknp tj date.
Tbe Daily News says it oannot be troth-
folly said that tbe polioe appeared to be on
the eve of a great discovery.
At the conclusion of the conference Cor-
oner Hertz visited the other gentlemen
while they were in consultation but what-
ever basiness he bad did not take long to
transact.

reoeived of her.
VABIOUB BUM0B8.
Pittsburg Pa. May 31. A special
from Ureensburg Pa says a report
reached here that the greater portion of
Johnstown has been flooded and hundreds
of lives lost. Houses are floating about
and people who are free are panic-strioken
and are fleeing to the mountains.
At a point near New Florence
eighty -five persons have been seen float
ing down tbe river on driftwood. One
report onmes tbat but two roofs of houses
in JohnBtqwn oan be seen. At Oovetown
aod New Florenoe the bridges have been
washed away and all buildings along the
Oolemangbie between New Florenoe and
Johnstown have been carried away. Rail
road towers have been abandoned by the
operators.
BODIES FLOATING IN THE BIVEB.'
Pittsbubg May 31. Latest reliable in
formation reoeived from Johnstown comes
through Pennsylvania offloials who aver
that over 200 dead bodies have been
oonnted floating down the stream at
Johnstown alone while along the line many
additional lives have been lost. It is re
ported tbat there are but two houses in
Johnstown proper entirely above the
water lia. A speoial train bearing
Pennsylvania railroad officials and a
large number of newspaper men has
left this city for the scene. Telegraph
oommnnioation is entirtly ont off and
until telegraph repairers and operators
with necessary instruments open np at
the nearest point bnt little reliable in-
formation can be obtained. .
BULLETIN NO. 1.
Pittsbubg May 81. The Associated
Press train from present appearanoes will
not be able to run nearer than six 01 eight
miles of that part of Johnstown where tbe
flood was the worst. Consequently the
dispatobes for the newspapers wiU be in
the form of oorreoted bulletins
COMPLETELY STTBMEBGED.
Gbunsbubo Pa. May 81. Johnstown
is completely submerged and the loss of
life is inestimable. Houses are going
down the river by the dozea and people
oan be seen olioging to roofs. At Cake-
town a village of several hundred inhabit
ants the houses are almost entirely oov-
ered and a great many dwellings at Blairs-
ville are submerged. Scarcely a dwelling
in the vioinity of -Sag Hollow oan
be seen. Tbe bridges at Bolivar and Nini-
veb it is reported have given way BDd that
at Saltsburg it is feared they will be car
ried away. People here who have friends
in tbe flooded distriots are eagerly waiting
for news at tbe telegraph olnoe. Great
uneasiness prevails. The river at Liver-
more is rising and great destruction will
follow.
EN BOUTE TO THE SCENE OF DISABTEB.
Bbaddook Pa. May 31. Tbe telegraph
wires being down absolutely for six or
seven miles between the immediate soene
of the disaster and being in an nuwwork-
able shape for three or four miles distant
it was at least 7:30 before an aoourate out
line of the effeoc of tbe tid tl wave oould
be learned. The ohief officials of the
Pittnburg end of tbe main liue of the
Pennsylvania ruilway reoeived most of
their information from tbe signal
tower at Sau Gullvtd six miles
west of Johnstown. At a quarter
of 4 o'clook a boy was resoued by the men
in tbe signal tower of tbe railroad com-
pany. His name is unknown but be said
that with bis father mother brother and
two eiiters he was swept over tbe new
stone railroad bridge at Johnstown; that
it oapsized a few stoonds later aud they
were all drowned so far as he could tell
tbe railroad operator. Before dark they
were able to connt 119 persons cling-
ing to buildings and wreckage or
drowned and - floating in tbe ourrent.
If this information is to be oredited the
damage on the town proper must be. in
the nature of a clear sweep.
As early as 1 o clock tbe alarm was sent
to Johnstown that there was danger from
the dam. The railroad offloials were noti
fied and in a very abort time began to
oarry people from tbe town to plaoea of
safety on regular trains and hastily im
provised resooing trains. Superintendent
Pitoairn of the western division of the
Pennsylvania railroad was on his way to
Sooth Fork and was notified of impend-
ing trouble.
AT OTHEB POINT 1.
Pittsbubg Mar 81. A speoial from
Lyons Pa. says the Joniata liver has

Philadelphia May 81. All the wires
of the Pennsylvania railroad west of Wil-
mere station on the Pittsburg division.
twenty-five miles west of Altoona.have been
down sinoe 9 a. m. and consequently in-
iormation in regara to the break west of
tbat plaoe is very meagre. Enough has
been learned however to indioate that the
rnsh of water is the worst ever known in
that seotion.
At 10:30 to-night a dispatch was re
oeived by General Manager Pagh dated
w H mere from the oonduotor of the east-
bound New York and Chicago limited.
whioh left Pittsburg at 7 o'olook this
morning sayiog the train was safe and
tbat all were on board. Mr. Pngh inferred
from tbis the limited was laid np some-
where near Lilly. The oonduotor re-
ported that the bridge at South Fork was
washed away and expressed the opinion
that all the bridges between South Fork
and Johnstown would be swept away.
. When Mr. Pugh was shown a oopy of the
Assooiatid Press dispatch fr m Pi t 'I nrg
announcing the breaking of the dam at
Johnstown be said tbat this report con-
firmed a dispatoh reoeived from Wilmere
to-night whioh stated that a man had re-
ported to the Penosjlvanla railroad op
rator t sere fiat tbe 8 U'.h Fork dam bad
broken and the water had oarr ai away the

operator who was in the tower managed
to esoape but several of the trainmen are
reported to have been drowned.

Chicago May 31. A dispatoh from
Montreal says: It was rumored here last
night tbat a terrible steamship disaster
ooourred in the gulf yesterday. The story
goes that tbe Beaver line steamer Lake
Ontario whioh left here on Wednesday for
Liverpool with a full list of oabin passen

known that a terrible storm has been
raging in the Golf of St. Lawrenoe for the
last few days the worst is feared.

Galveston May 30. This day has de
veloped no new features in the island
tragedy. Justioe of the Peace Weyer
Junemann and Allen oooupy separate cells
in tbe oounty jail and are unoommunioa
tive to anyone exoept their attorneyswho
have been closeted with them the greater
part of tbe day.- Up to to-nigbt FJoenh-
ing Koehlar ei-oonstable and one of the
persons indioted as an aotive participant
in the murder of young Flesohig has not
been apprehended but intelligence of tbe
faot is hourly expeoted.
fjlif ton Porter the horseman anot her
of the indioted who wss arrested on La-
ton i a raoe course by Deteotive Laudon
has resorted to habeas corpus proceedings
at Covington Ky. but it is thought this
will only delay his arrival here a few days.
Upon the arrival of Koehlar and Porter it
is believed habeas corpus proceedings will
be insituted fur the purpose of getting
the prisoners ont on bond. The state at-
torneys have thirty-six witnesses to tes
tify to the guilt of the indioted parties
aud feel oonfident of convicting them and
defeating any effort to have them released
on bond.
Their arrest has produced intense ex-
oitement here and the heinous orime for
whioh the parties stand indioted is talked
of in its horrible details. It is the ourrent
belief that before a oonoluiion ia reaohed
tome one of the aoonsed will break down
and oonfess. The prisoners are nervous
and anxious and are eager to hear how
the pnblio view the case.
Delivered Himself Up.
CnioooMay 31. W. J. MoGarrigle ex-
warden of Cook oounty hospital who baa
been a fugitive from justice nnder indiot
ment as one of the "boodlers" in the
oonnty ring living for some time in Bonf
B. 0. walked into Judge Shepard's court
mom shortly before noon to-day and de-
livered himself np. He was at onoe taken
to the office of tbe state's attorney.
MoGarigle pleaded guilty to the oharge
of conspiracy and a fine of $1000 was at
onoe imposed and when it is paid he will
be free. When MoGarigle fled to Canada
nearly two years ago he was nnder sen
tence of two year in tbe penitentiary
but a petition for a new trial was
pending in the oourts. After his departure
the petitions for the new trial in his case
and that of Ed iMoDonald were denied.
McDonald's oase went before the supreme
oourt and the decision of tbe lower court
was reversed. The aotion before Judge
Sbepard this morning was simply toe
granting of a new and immediate trial to
MoGarrigle and the imposing of a One on
bis plea of guilty.
At the same time tbe state's attorney
dismissed the oase against Ed McDonald
engineer of tbe asylum who was oonvioted
for being oonoerned In crookedness witb
MoGarrigle.
The state's attorney says tbat as the su
preme court had granted MoDonald a new
trial that as he was oonvinoed tbat be
oould not again be oonvioted and tbat as
he had been confined in the oonnty jail
for year and a half tbe state was willing
to drop further proceedings. Tbe orders
