WHY caoNlN WAS KILLED.

He Was in Position to Expose the Man
Who Had Plundered the Clan-na-Gael.
CHIcAGN, May 28-Dr. Cronin's murder is
revealing much of the inner workings and
history of the Irish secret societies in Ameri-
ca. These exposures result from the first
breach in the Nationalists' ranks The Clan
na-Gael first came into notice in 1883, when
a committee of seven was selected to take
charge of a series Of wild expeditions against
English property at home and on the high
seas, and contributions were asked from all
those who sympathized with the scheme of
wreaking vengeance upon the English op-
pressors. This band Of seven men was COM
posed of James Reynolds, New Haven; John
Dewey, Michael Breslin, O'Donovan Rosa
and Miles O'Brien, OF New York, and Patrick
Ford and his brother, of Brooklyn.
Bound by Oath.
Each Of the seven was bound by oath not
to reveal who the other members were, to
give any information, or how much money
was received or what was done with it, The
penalty for an infraction Of this oath was ex-
pulsion. In 1884, nothing having been done
with the lavish fund which had poured into
their hands, leading Irishmen throughout tine
country violated a foolish oath to demand
~ =
Breslin, Rosa and O'Brien insisted on either
returning the money or using it as had been
intended. BY some process the majority in
the committee Of seven were beaten and ex-
PEELED and the remaining three kept the funds.
Insisted on Investigation.
1t was the disposition Of the latter that
Cronin claimed to know, and which, it is
claimed, caused his murder In the local
Clan-na- Gael branch DR.. Cronin also ques-
toned the disposition of the enormous sums
reserved, and urged an inquiry. He was
expelled and formed new branch Of the
Clan, which grew so powerful that the old
organization was compelled to recognize it,
and last year the two were consolidated. It
was then learned that Cronin was in posses
sion of evidence strong enough to convict the
chief officer Of treason to Irelands cause and
also Of embezzling the Clans funds.
Cronin insisted that joint committee from
each branch investigate. The committee can
yassed the evidence, and it is said found
Alexander Sullivan, the chief, guilty, as
charged. At this months convention in Phil
adelphia this report was to have been sub
mitted. Pending the report Cronin was in
trusted with the documents which substan-
tiated these serious charges A demand was
maoe upon Cronin for the evidence, but he
refused TO surrender it to the friends of the
men accused. For the past year Sullivan has
not been. permitted to have active member
ship IN the order, pending the report Of the
committee, yet his influence has constantly
controlled its affairs.
