tolked with him several mlnutes. From expres-»ious that he then used I lecl sure that Croninia in the city and that King knowa his where.abouts. u"d tbat if King can be found, he willtell where Cronin ia.''Ihe prisoner wa.* taken out of ths atation with

Captain O'Donnell Thursday night and again to¬day. He polnted out the placc where he left thetrunk and ilxixl the identical spot where it wasfound. He pointed out the barn, wbieh prov-dto be in the rear of No. *>28 North State-st. TheofTleers entered it, but eould tind no evidenee foror iiguinst. the story.

Woodruff says lie suspects, from the convenv-tion he overheard between Cronin, Fnirburn andKinc, that the body in the trunk was that of awoman whose death resultcd from an operation,iierhaps lerformcd by Dr. Cronin. He dra^>thia eonclusion, not only from the wnrd"< he over¬heard, but also from the nuxb-ty evinced by thedoctor to get tbe body out of tbe way. and fromthe fact. that Cronin liad apparently been receiiilystruek hy some one.

WoodrufT flrst read of Cronin's disappearancein Tueadrv's paper, and also read the story dit.nl-ing the flnding of the empty trunk. IL- wasgreBtly frightened, and thinking that the officaisw» re certalnly on his trark, took means to getout of the city. He had sorae money remaininir.from the aum given him by King, but decjdedto obtain a little more. The result was his arrestfor attempting to 8aU the horse. which hnppenedto be the identical animal he used on thomemorable night.

WAS TTIE DOCTOR SEEN IN TOEONTO ?

AN OLD FRIF.ND ASSERTS TKAT IIE MET TDEMIS.SINO FUTSICIAN IN THAT CITY.

fnr TEUwrtAra to tub TamrsR.JToroato, May lO.-Tlie Chicago detectives can

give up their aearch for the. />ody. m the missingDr. Cronin. The doctor was in Toronto to-day,and was seen and spoken to by rt man who knewhim intimately. Shortly aftea jo o'clock thismorning, as Charles Long, a former Chieagoan, butfor some months a reaident of this city, of whichhe is a native, was walkiug down Yonge-st., heaaw in front of the Arcnde tbe well-known flgureof Dr. Cronin. With the latter was a atrangi-r, a

man of medium aiie, wearing a full heard, anddreaaed ia. a dark buaineas suit. Dr. Cronin wasthe family phynician of Mr. Long while they livedin Chicago, and he had been af Mr. Lonj's hotiscfrequeutjy. Great ly suq?. ised, Mr. Long i-xtcndedhis hand and anid

" Wh.v, how are you, docto; ? What are youdoing herer"*

J'r. Cronin involnntarily lifred his hand andaaid : ' IIow d.,*¦ Then he s idlenly dropr>ed hishand by his side, broke off in his salufation,HfifTrnrd up, «nd said brus<iuely: * Mv dear sir,you have the wivarttnge of me."

" Why,n replied Mr. Long, " whatdo you mmn ? You know me well enough."

" My dear sir," rejoined the doctor, " I don'tknow you, and if you speak to me a_BlB I shallcall a poJ-0-0)OB and have you arrestid."1

Mr. Long saw that Dr. Cronii was determinednot to ndmit his identity,' and did not reply, andthe doctor and his rompnnion |*v-a?d on. Mr.I.ong correetly OQOdoOad that Dr. Cronin wouldnot remain iu Toronto long after being recoirnizod,and went at once himeelf to tbe Cnion Dcpot.i)Ii* itvtioooe waa rewardi-d, for after wait-ing about. nn hour a earriage drove up andthe doctor and his unknown fnend alighted. Theywi-re not alone, however. With them was a

young and styhshly aitired wuman, whom Mr.Loog descrite* aa a pleasant and atfractive facewith the a:r and bearing of an Auuriran. Thedootor's n.nipanion went to tha ticket oAet todpurr;hii*ed three ticket., and the trio boarded the1 _ 10 traln wif h tickets for Supcrinr llridge. Theparty, however, did not leave the traln at theBrldge, but prooeeded qq tbiit way Eaat, probablyfor New-York. The doctor aeuned somi-whatda-exi when Mr. Long so suddenly HOCoste4 himand the lattarr ia strongly of the lmprrtunon thatthe doctor ia not la his right miod.

" There can be no doubt,"' anid Mr. Long to-

niglit, " tbat it was Dr. Cronin. I knew himwell, liad n*en him often at my house and on thestreets of Chlcago rind I oouid not be mistaken.Had there been tho sligliteat doubt inmy inind lt would have been div|H-lled at oaoc by the ma:im-r in whicbhe liegan to return my salutation and then so

auddenly btroke otT." A BBB-Oh at all tlie hotel-to-night failed to reveal when' Dr. Cronin st-nppedwhile in tha city. At Uie Kowin Hnu.se, however,i goeal aaavrprlog perfectly to hia ilescriptinntook dinnrr yeaterday. Bc doclined tu Rglsterhl- nntue, but jwid for his dinuir iu advaOCO, anditntiK-.lmt.-ly after dining left tlie house. It i-tiot known that Dr. Croniu has any rrlntive-iu this ity, but lUs mother-in-law and a oepliewliv..- at St. Catherloe'a, not matiy Bllaa awa.y.
