A Chicago dispatch of Jime 24 says Camp 20 of the clan Nagaei and its methods will be thoroughly investigated by the grand jury and it is More than probable thai ten or More of its members will be indicted for the murder of or. Cronin. The state s attorney has already in his Possession enough evidence to hang at least half of that number and before the grand jury resumes consideration of the Crown Case wednesday he expects to have a Complete Chain of evidence encircling the Camp or at least the guilty members of it. Shortly after the finding of the body the state s attorney received an Anonymous letter which set Forth the details of a meeting of Camp "�0, which was held on a in riday in the latter part of february. John Beggs the no. 1, and senior guardian of the Camp presided at this meeting which was attended Only by what is known As the inner Circle of the Camp Anil the purpose for which the meeting was called was the trial of or. Cronin As a British spy. He was found guilty the letter went on to state and the punishment was fixed at death. Death was always the penalty which traitors paid and Cronin was to be no to the Rule. The preliminaries having been disposed of the question of who should be the executioners was taken up. Lots were drawn. The names of every Man present were put on separate slips of paper and the lottery of murder was carried out in All its det iils. Who were the ones to whom the fearful deed was committed was not made known at the meeting. No one knew the names of the men who were to remove quot or. Cronin exec t the Man who was to notify them that they had been selected for the act of blood and were expected to Legin at once. This Man the letter went on to state was John f. Beggs at once every j Ower of the police was put Forth to find the author of the letter giving information which was so valuable if True. But without Success. In vain the officers sought for some one who would admit that such a meeting had been held. All were obstinate in asserting that they never heard of such a meeting or Suc h action by Camp 20. In vain Coroner Hertz questioned every clan a Gael Man who was before the Coroner s jury As to the proceedings of the Camp at its meetings since the 1st of january. Every one was ignorant. To Day the Light broke on the darkness which overcame Camp 20 detective Palmer had a Long interview with judge Longenecker Early this morning and about an hour later a fun red looking Man was admitted to the judge s office by the Side door. He was a clan a Gael Man and he corroborated the contents of the letter in every detail. Who he is could not be Learned but so satisfactory was the information he gave the judge and so Complete the proof of the planning and premeditation of the Cronin murder in Catnap 20, that he said an hour later quot i be got evidence enough now to hang half a it is claimed that state s attorney Longenecker has a list of the names of All the men who attended the secret meeting at which or. Cronin s removal was ordered All that could be Learned of the mysterious visitor to judge Longenecker was that he was a clan Nagaei Man. A former member of Camp 20, who had been present at the Meetin. had taken no part in the deliberations which ended in the order for Cronin s assassination. He will be carefully guarded by tie police to in vent anyone from tampering with him list he will not be arrested and no sign will 1 0 Matle by the officers that would indicate to the conspirators that he was under the Protection of the police. There is a growing belief on the part of the authorities that Dan Coughlin was the chosen chief executioner of the tribunal s sentence and that knowing his fellow Camp member s thoroughly it was an easy matter to select the prisoner Burke and the suspect Cooney or quot Simons quot and it was no Nard work for him to secure the permission of o Sullivan to the fixing of the neat Job by which or. Cronin was lured away to the place of assassination. Senior guardian John f. To eggs was found by a reporter in the company of Harry Jordan. Or. Beggs declared that the latest Story about Camp 20 of the clan a Gael was a monstrous fib and said quot i Only Hope some clan a Gael Man is squealing As they Call it for then i will be set right. I have been getting the worst of it All along in this Case. If i have made some mistakes i have been struggling hard to get a Good footing. And just when i see the Hight of Day this thing comes upon me. Of course i am senior guardian of Camp 20, but such things As they charge against that or any other Camp of the quot Lanna Gael Are absurd and impossible. If any one can Tell me the object of the order i would like to learn it. For two years it has had no purpose. You just went to the meetings. Paid to cents for monthly dues heard some fellow sing a song some other fellow make a speech and then went Home con Vinced that another great seep had been taken in the cause of Ireland. That s All there has been to the quot How about the alleged trial of Cronia before the inner Circle or Camp 20? quot it s Bosh. There s no such thing As an inner Circle anybody can prefer a charge against any member of the order and the member will be tried by fore a committee of seven. The Man charged is always notified and is Given the Benefit of counsel. There never was any trial of Cronin in Camp 20. It is True that Cooney Burke Coughlin and Sullivan were members of the Camp and that three of them Are behind the Lars while the other ran away from town. Two thirds of the members of the Camp were warm friends of or. Cronin and i was always his quot do you expect to be indicted quot no. I have full Confidence in the intelligence of the i and quot bid you know Burke quot quot yes and tried to got him work when his clothes were falling off Hir. Back last Winter. Because i was president of the Irish american Republican club i was besieged by people who wanted positions and other favors. Burke was after me with the others and that is one of the reason my name is mixed up with his now a pm
