Williams, who rented the Carlson cot¬

get the letter from Chief Hubbard.
Dillon says that a sensational chapter
relative to Maroney could be written,
but he declines to say more than that he
believes the fellow is one of the mur¬

Maroney is still practically in the em¬

Luke Dillon said, referring to the ver¬
dict of the coroner’s jury: “This is a
splendid day’s work. I am as confident
as I am that I live that with Sullivan
and Maroney in the net now we have
the right men. This crime will be fully
