Chicago, May 24.—The very latest developments in the Cronin murder case justify the belief that the guilty parties will soon be apprehended. The police are now holding an important secret conference in Capt. Wing's office in Lake View, and there is no doubt that something important is under discussion. Judge Longenecker, when seen by a United Press reporter, said that the police were on the trail of one of the principals in the crime, and he believed the whole conspiracy would be laid bare within a few hours. I,0rDiD0N, May 24.—The general public is bemoaning the prospect that confronts it of having Sir Morell Mackenzie's quarrel with the German doctors over the late Emperor Frederick's else and the interminable disputes and wranglings that grew out of it repeated in the libel suits that Dr. Mackenzie has brought against The Times and Mr. Steinkoph, the proprietor of The St. James Gazette. The libel claimed by the doctor is contained in the letters that have figured in the Greenwood case, in which it was stated that Sir Morell conspired against the German throne by declaring his august patient free from cancer, and thus making him the successor to the throne of his father, which he would not have been, according to German law, if it had been known that he had cancel. Only a portion of these letters was read ia court, but The Times managed to possess itself of the entire lot of the letters, and printed them in full without any warrant for doing so. Dr. Mackenzie now sues Mr. Steinkoph for writing the letters and The Times for printing them. These libel suits will add to the celebrated law cases of the last year that have occupied English courts. Doubtless there will be great interest shown in these caBes, and many new and startling bits of testimony will undoubtedly be brought out * 'It is not trua We consult the president and think that it is his right to be consulted about these matters.

The dead man's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Bishop, and half a dozen lady friends occupied seats opposite the jury box. Mrs. Bishop was cIo=ely veiled. She sobbed pitifully from Iwginning to end of the proceedings. At 14 p. in. a jury of business men was secured. While on their way down Chestnut street in a patrol wagon, one of the boys threw away a revolver and box of cartridges. They were all well dressed and supplied with money. Although a careful search of their clothing and baggage was made, the detectives failed to find any cigarettes. The boys are held to await the arrival of Mr. Deemer.

This, however, could not be confirmed. It was said the fellow was in custody «t the East Chicago avenue station. Supposed to Be the Hack Driver, "Mr. Blaine has never said a word in my presence," said Secretary Windom, "that would indicate any dissatisfaction on his part.

London, May 24.—A deputation from Irish municipal councils waited on Mr. Parnell and presented him with an address congratulating him upon being of the calumnies with which he had been charged. The address declared that the special commission had already proved him innocent of the charges. Mr. Parnell thanked the delegation for the address, and advised the councils to continue to use their privileges, not for purposes of the disintegration of the empire, nor for upsetting the authority of the queen, but for helping Ireland obtain a realization of her legitimate aspirations. He said he never doubted the ultimate disproof of the forged letters. He would rather have gone to the grave with the stigma of the letters upon him than have submitted Ireland to the humiliating ordeal which it was proposed to place upon her as an accompaniment to t e inquiry into their authenticity.

His famous story concerning the removal of a trunk containing a human body from the Watrous barn, on the morning after the disappearance of Cronin to the place where it was found by the police, was, after investigation, thought by the police to be false. But in the light of later developments it was thought there might be truth in it Accordingly Woodruff was again subjected to the pumping process. The best that could be got, however, was that he (Woodruff) would do his best tCr«- plain certain things if the officer would secure bail for him. Woodruff insisted that it was not Cronin's body he hauled from the barn that night, and that if Cronin is dead he was killed sinco that night, because ho saw him at the barn. Woodruff's Fart In It.

Franklin, Pa., May 24.- Miss Annie Griffiths, who was lately found in Kansas after having b«en mourned as dead for two years, has returned to her home here.

Their evidence proved nothing. In spite of the angry and somewhat irreverent protests of Mr. Louis Aldricli and other imixalient theatrical gentlemen, who had been subpoenaed as witnesses in the case, further hearing was adjourned to this afternoon, when Louis Aldrioh, who, it is said, claims that the doctors took from Bishop's body a paper asking that care be taken not to cut him up or bury him alive, will be examined, also Henry E. Dixey, Sadie Martinot and other friends of the deceased. Dr. Todd said that the skull of the dead mar was cut open and the brain removed.

Chicago, May 24.—The very latest developments in the Cronin murder case justify the belief that the guilty parties will soon be apprehended. The police are now holding an important secret conference in Capt. Wing's office in Lake View, and there is no doubt that something important is under discussion. Judge Longenecker, when seen by a United Press reporter, said that the police were on the trail of one of the principals in the crime, and he believed the whole conspiracy would be laid bare within a few hours.

The libel claimed by the doctor is contained in the letters that have figured in the Greenwood case, in which it was stated that Sir Morell conspired against the German throne by declaring his august patient free from cancer, and thus making him the successor to the throne of his father, which he would not have been, according to German law, if it had been known that he had cancel. Only a portion of these letters was read ia court, but The Times managed to possess itself of the entire lot of the letters, and printed them in full without any warrant for doing so. Dr. Mackenzie now sues Mr. Steinkoph for writing the letters and The Times for printing them. These libel suits will add to the celebrated law cases of the last year that have occupied English courts. Doubtless there will be great interest shown in these caBes, and many new and startling bits of testimony will undoubtedly be brought out * 'It is not trua We consult the president and think that it is his right to be consulted about these matters.

London, May 24.—A deputation from Irish municipal councils waited on Mr. Parnell and presented him with an address congratulating him upon being of the calumnies with which he had been charged. The address declared that the special commission had already proved him innocent of the charges. Mr. Parnell thanked the delegation for the address, and advised the councils to continue to use their privileges, not for purposes of the disintegration of the empire, nor for upsetting the authority of the queen, but for helping Ireland obtain a realization of her legitimate aspirations. He said he never doubted the ultimate disproof of the forged letters. He would rather have gone to the grave with the stigma of the letters upon him than have submitted Ireland to the humiliating ordeal which it was proposed to place upon her as an accompaniment to t e inquiry into their authenticity. "Right," said Mr. Parnell, "has been transgressed under a pretext of inquiry into crime. Political issues have been laid before men incompetent to render a fair decision."

His famous story concerning the removal of a trunk containing a human body from the Watrous barn, on the morning after the disappearance of Cronin to the place where it was found by the police, was, after investigation, thought by the police to be false. But in the light of later developments it was thought there might be truth in it Accordingly Woodruff was again subjected to the pumping process. The best that could be got, however, was that he (Woodruff) would do his best tCr«- plain certain things if the officer would secure bail for him. Woodruff insisted that it was not Cronin's body he hauled from the barn that night, and that if Cronin is dead he was killed sinco that night, because ho saw him at the barn. Woodruff's Fart In It.

Their evidence proved nothing. In spite of the angry and somewhat irreverent protests of Mr. Louis Aldricli and other imixalient theatrical gentlemen, who had been subpoenaed as witnesses in the case, further hearing was adjourned to this afternoon, when Louis Aldrioh, who, it is said, claims that the doctors took from Bishop's body a paper asking that care be taken not to cut him up or bury him alive, will be examined, also Henry E. Dixey, Sadie Martinot and other friends of the deceased. Dr. Todd said that the skull of the dead mar was cut open and the brain removed. AVer the scalp had been taken off the physicians discovered that the bones composing the skujl had been marked by the blows of the sharp instrument which probably caused the doctor's death. There was no sign of congestion about the brain, but the and pulmonary cavity were filled with blood. Dr. Todd says this might have resulted from the fact that the body was head downward in the catch basin. A cut one-half inch deep was found upon the neck, and several bruises upon the lower limbs. The theory that Dr. Cronin was choked to death was exploded. The doctors found no signs of suffocation. The passage through the windpipa was unobstructed.Horribly Mutilated.
