joined story, under these headlines, in
large display; 1.-THE Lion Awake, and
Watching Every Movement in the
Cronin Case-A Detective From Scot
land Yard" A detective from Scotland
Yard, who wore black whiskers and
showed bunch of white teeth, stood
on Chambers street, west of the county
court house. to-day from 10 to II o'clock.
He had his eye on No. 291 Broadway,
which is the Office of David NJ. Neuber-
ger, the counsel for John j. Maroney,
accused of completely in the murder Of
DR.. Cronin, at Chicago. Twenty yards
away from the Scotland Yard detective
was Pat Dolan, of Inspector Byrnes'
staff. He was within few feet OF
Broadway and Chambers street, and his
eyes were fastened on No. 291 Broad
way. When Edward j. Rowe. the ex-
Clan-na-Gael man, and Mr.. Neuberger
left the Broadway building Detective
Pat Dolan followed them towards the
Tombs. Dolan is big fellow. always
ready for fight, and it would take just
such man as he to grapple with a
giant like Rowe. The Scotland Yard
detective recognized Rowe as he left
the Broadway building and quickly
turned his back. In moment, how
ever, he had faced about and again had
his eyes on No. 291 Broadway. A Mail
and Express reporter asked him the
time of day. His lower lip dropped be-
cause of some physical disability, and
his white teeth showed plainly as he
replied. 1t is 10:5O.' The man had
pronounced English accent, and was
still on post at 1850 a. IN. Maj. Ru-
dolph Fitzpatrick. of No. LAT West
Sixty-ThiId street, who was adjutant
general in the Fenian army that in
vaded Canada, is one of the men will
ing to swear that Maroney was in his
place on the day that Cronin was mur-
dered. In
SPITE OF ANY DENIALs
Inspector Byrnes may make, it may be
said with confidence that one of his de-
tectives is looking after Fitzpatrick.
The latter has all English wife, who is
an ardent supporter of Irish aspirations.
Fitzpatrick and his wife are relied upon
as two who will help establish an alabi
for Maroney. ''The attempt to prove
the prisoners innocence will not stop
with the evidence of Fitzpatrick and
his wife and E. J. Rowe. One of Ma
roney's callers yesterday at the Tombs
was Thomas j. Dennehy, of the Wolf
tone club, of Brooklyn. He holds a
political office in Kings county and is
a trusted man in the anti-Devoy-B -Breslin
wing of the Clan-na-Gael. Maroney,
Dennehy and Gen. Miller-the latter a
member of the Press club, now dead
went across the Atlantic on mission
not quite two years ago. MarOney was
known as Melville. Miller superin-
tended operations from Paris, and Den
nehy's assumed name is not known.
Dennehy, however, has many Clan-na-
Gail men in his cgmp, and he is ex-
pected to take part in the alibi busi-
ness. The executive commit
tee of the Clan-na-Gael or United
Brotherhood of America met last night
and decided that Maroney and McDon-
aid should be kept in New York if pos
ible by any form of the law. All the
members did not meet together. Some
were reached by telegraph, and the
Hon. Patrick Egan, who is on the ocean.
was not, Of course, reached. The meet
ing is said to have been held in Phila-
delphia. and those alleged to have been
present are: Thomas Ronayne, of No.
5 Beekman street, New York; Thomas
Tierney of No. 112 Berry street. Brook
lyn; j. j. Brodley of No. 1921 Chestnut
street Philadelphia; E. O'Meagher
Condor, of the New York Press Club:
and John NJ. Leonard of Fall River,
Mass. The meeting may not have been
held in Philadelphia. but on good au-
thority it is alleged to have been held
there. These men are anxious about
Maroney because the British govern
ment wants him. Senator Sherman has
q bill in the senate which would, if it
became law, hand Maroney, alias
ever toiBritish justice. 1t is
the desire of the Clan-na-Gael to get
Maroney free and out of the way"
