VERDICT OF THE ooRoNER's JURY.
The following is the full text of the yer.
| dict of the Cononer's jury: 1--WE, the
undersigned, the jury appointed to make
inquiries, according to law, as to how the
body viewed by us came to his death, find
as follows:
First-We find that the BODY is that OF
Patrick H. Cronin, known as Doctor
Cronin.
Second-That his death was not from
natural causes but from violent means.
Third-That said 2. n Cronin was de.
coyed from his home on North Clark street
on the evening of May 4, 1899, by some
person or persons to a cottage known as
the Carlson cottage, situated at 1872 North
Ashland avenue, in Lakeview, Cook coun-
ty, Illinois.
Fourth-That at the cottage the said
Cronin was murdered by being beaten on
the head with some blunt instrument or
instruments in the hands Of some person
or persons unknown to US, on the night of
said May 4th, or between May 4th and May
5, 1889.
Fifth-That the body after said murder
was committed was placed in a trunk and
carried to Edgewater on wsgon by several
persons and by them placed in catch
basin at the corner of Evanston avenue
and tltty-nlnth street, Lakeview, where it
was discovered on MAY 81, 1889.
Slxth-That the evidence shows conclu-
sively 10 all our minds that the plot or
conspiracy was formed by number OF
persons for the purpose of numbering said
Cronin and concealing his body. Said plot
or conspiracy was deliberately contrived
and cruelty executed.
Seventh-We have carefully inquired
into the relations sustained by said Cronin
to other persons while alive to ascertain if
he had any 9uarrels or enmities with any
persons sufficient to cause his murder.
Eighth-lt is our judgment that NO
other person or persons, except some OF
those who are or who had been members
of a certain secret society known as the
United Brotherhood" or Clan-na. Gael
had cause to DE the inStigators or executors
OF such plot or conspiracy to murder said
Cronin.
Ninth-Manyof the witnesses testifying in
said case have done so with evident un-
willingness and we believe with much
| mental reservation. We find from the evi.
denCe that a number of persons were
parties to the plot and coDspired to murder
said Cronln, and that Daniel Coughlin
Patrick o. Sullivan, Alexander Sullivan
and Woodruff, alias Black, were either
| principals or accessories or had guilty
| knowledge of said plot and conspired to
| murder said Cronin and conceal his BODY
and should be held to answer to the Grand
Jury. We also believe that other persons
were engaged in this plot, or had guilty
| knowledge and should be apprehended and
| held to answer to the Grand Jury.
We further state that this plot or con.
| spiracy, in its conception and execution, is
one of the most foul and brutal that has
ever come to our knowledge, and we re-
| commend the proper authorities offer s
| large reward for the discovery and appre
| hension of all those engaged in it in any
| way.
| We further state that in our Judgment al
| secret societies whose objects are such a:
the evidence shows that of the Can-n Gae
or the United Brotherhood to be, are not il
| harmony with, and are injurious to Ameri
can institutions.
| Wa homo hot f1tp oI -,
| by the police force will more than cOmpen
safe for the past neglect by a portion of tn,
| force in this case.
