days, and his name and management at that institution figured frequently in the investigation of that institution made by the State Board of Charities In November, 1885. He Is a member of the Clan-na-Gael, and seems to have been furnished with ample funds for his latest exploits. He has been active in spreading the report that Cronin was a spy. He began public life as a labor agitator. Later on he became a Democratic politician and narrowly escaped Indictment with the "boodlera" Jeremiah O'Donnell is a recently appointed United States gauger at South Chicago He was for a number of years a street-car conductor on the West side.

He says he met Kavanaugh on the street one day and was asked by htm if he would assist in acquitting the defense by securing a juror who would vote that way for money. Kavanaugh promised to pay the money out of his own pocket O'Donnell remembered a friend he bad out In Calumet and struck a bargain with Kavanaugh He then approached bis friend, who is not much more than a boy, expressing his own views on the Cronin case, instructing the young man how to answer the lawyers' questions and promising him $1,000. Alexander Hanks is an old appointee in the sheriff's office. He is about 35 years old and came originally from Cincinnati. He has had little or nothing to do with summoning jurora He was one of the bailiffs having Immediate charge of the prisonera He sat every day just behind Coughlan.

Hanks, like Soloman, approached jurors whom he knew. One of the men on the bailiffs list said Hanks had been to see him and told him he could get $1,000 for a verdict for the defense. Hanks further told him how to answer questions and that "the defense Is fixed all right and will understand you." Mark Soloman is a young man who has been considerable of a politician in the Tenth ward He was appointed by Sheriff Matson a year ago. The sixth man Indicted la Joseph Konen, a fruit dealer of 240 West Madison street He has been summoned as a juror, but has not yet been examined. He was offered $1,000 to sro on the jury, with a promise of $5,000 in case of an acquittal He failed to report this to the authorities, leading to the inference that he had accepted the offer, and for this reason, doubtless, he was indicted.

From Information gathered in an interview with Judge Longenecker Sunday night it was learned that Bailiff Hanks and Fred 8mlth had practically made complete confessions of the part taken by them toward attempting to fix the Cronin jury. It was further learned that the ringleader in the plot the chief schemer back of the men planning all the villainous work, is more than likely a prisoner confined In a sub-station at the present time. Hanks and Smith, who are still locked up at East Chicago Avenue station, gave up this information Sunday, and Schuttler went out unassisted and made the arrest The man's name is kept a secret by Judge Longenecker and Captain Schuttler. Thi man was the medium through which instructions passed from the fount-ain-head which conceived the idea of tampering with the jurors By the free and open confession he made to the State's Attorney little difficulty will be experienced in ferreting out the whole diabolical scheme to defeat the ends of justice. His confession again brings into prominence a well-known member of the triangle, and it is said that before this week has passed the ringleaders of the plot will be behind the bars.

One of the first questions asked after the discovery of the conspiracy was whether the attorneys for the defense were aware of it At first the attorneys for the State were disposed to exonerate them from all knowledge of it But later there was a disposition to withdraw this acquittal. Tom Kavanaugh, though he refused to say who supplied him with money, is said to have declared that he reported to Mr. Forrest The statement of the man approached by Bailiff Hanks, that the bailiff said "the defense is fixed for you," points to the same thing. So does the apparently uniform method of instructing the approached jurors as to their method of answering questions and their demeanor in the jury box. Attorney Forrest denies emphatically that the- subject of jury-packing was ever broached to him either by Kavanaugh or any one else.

He said to a reporter that the discovery of the plot was as much of a It Tickles the Palm of Couple of Officers of the Court Investigating Dr. Cro-nln Murder, and They Make an Attempt to Thwart Justice Bought Up by Friends of the Prisoners, They Undertake to Bribe Veniremen An Offer of V5.0O0 for a Juror Who Would Tote Against Conviction A Special Grand Jury Indicts Six Men Engaged in the Font Conspiracy. Chicago, Oct 14. It has been learned that the conference between counsel for the (State in the Cronin case and the police officers on Friday night related to another bold conspiracy which has been unearthed Two of the principal workers in it are under arrest. A plot to pack the jury who are to try the men accused of the murder of Dr.

Cronin has been discovered, and several men are under arrest and will be brought before Judge Mc-Connell This conspiracy of which Luther Laflin Mills says 'there has been no more unscrupulous, audacious or wicked attempt to lnterefere with the cause of justice" was revealed by one of the veniremen whom it was sought to corrupt George Tschappatt, foreman of the Page Lard Refining Company at 44 Erie street, was summoned as a juror last Tuesday afternoon. He was not examined that day and came again Wednesday morning, remaining with the other unexamined jurors in the ante-room. About 10:3) o'clock Wednesday morning Bailiff Mark Soloman, with whom he was well acquainted, met him and invited him out to have a cigar. This civility extended, Soloman asked Tschap-pat it he didn't want to make some money. Tschappat gave the most natural reply in the world, an affirmative "Very well, then," responded Soloman, "you get on the jury and stick for an acquittal and you shall have 1,000." Soloman further told Tschappat that the arrangement could be carried out with his wife.

The money could be paid to her, and if paid by a certain day she should appear in court wearing a certain colored dress If it were not paid to her she should wear a different dress. Tschappat replied that he was not that kind of a man. To this Soloman responded that he was working for the court and, pointing to a buggy standing outside, said: "That is my horse and buggy." At the noon adjournment Tschappat went to his place of business, returning at 2 o'clock He was examined somewhat later and was excused for cause at 4:30, he having said that he could not give the defendants a fair trial As he was leaving the building Soloman met him and said: "Where were you this noon time? I looked everywhere for you. They said to me they would make it 5,000." Tschappet on his way to his place of employment met his employer, Mr. Page, to whom he told these circumstances.

Mr. Page told him to say nothing about it until he saw him again The next day, Thursday, Mr. Page went to the court-room and repeated the statement to Mr. Mills, with whom he yis intimately acquainted Mr. Mills held an interview with Tschappat, who repeated the story as he had told it to Mr.

Page. Tschappat was then invited down to the State's Attorney's office and seated in an ante-room. Bailiff Soloman was then called in and closely questioned. He denied every thing. He was immediately confronted with Tschappat, and, realizing his position, he broke down and made a full confession, in which he implicated those who were indicted Saturday night Soloman's confession in Its material points is that he was handed a list of corrupt or corruptible jurors by Bailiff Alexander L.

Hanks, who said: "If we get a man on this jury to fix it or if you fix one man it means 2,000, half of it for the juror and the other half for us Further, Soloman was to approach the veniremen he knew and Hanks those he was acquainted with Immediately on Soloman's confession Hanks was arrested, and he too confessed and produced a list of talesmen which tallied with Soloman's. Every man whose name was on these lists was Immediately sent for. These are the men who were so mysteriously brought to the State Attorney's office Friday night Some of them at least told all they knew readily, and from their statements the connection of Frederick W. Smith, Thomas Kavanaugh and Jeremiah O'Donnell was sons eligible to gf.nerai rru membership to organize and send delegates to the next meeting, which will be held at the time and place selected for the next triennial conclave.

He had received not the slightest intimation that the jury was being tampered with, and had he known such a thing was going on he would certainly have stopped it His own interests would prevent his being implicated in such practices. The other lawyers for the defense were equally err.phatic in their denials of any knowledge of the plot and denounce it thoroughly. Attorney Foster, counsel for Beggs, said: "I will say frankly say lhat I thick it a grave blow to the defense.

People are now prejudiced against the suspects, and this attempted jury bribing will unquestionably tend to Increase that feeling of hostility. Nothing mors serious could have happened, and the suspects have reason to regret the efforts of theii friends or whoever it was who started the scheme." "What of the jurors who have already been accepted?" "I do not think they have been tampered with. The one great fear In this case has been that of getting a prejudiced jury.

Discover the Remains of the 'General Who Led the Hrltlsh In the Revolutionary War. TiCOKDEBOOt, N. Y. Oct 11. Laborers engaged in digging a sewer in one or the principal street of this village Thursday struck a tombstone and below It found a ooffin containing the bones of a human being.

The stone was washed off and found to contain the inscription and date of the death of Lord Howe. The skull was intact but the rest of the bones were disjointed and considerably decayed As soon as it had been learned about the village an immense crowd of people assembled and many persons made desperate efforts to procure pieces of the bones. The coffin, which was of oak, was in a fairly good state of preservation. Several years ago the street where the remains were found was filled In several feet, which accounts for the depth of the tombstone's location.
