HAS FAITH IN HER HUSBAND,
Alexander suIlivRn's wife says Time will
Show his Innocence,

oHuW hh Anuucehce'
LONDON, June l7.-Ms. Margaret F,
Sullivan, wife OF Alexander Sullivan,
who is spending a few days in London,
says while she is deeply panied at the
ialsehood OF the lmputation implied in
associating her husbands name with the
Cronin mystery, her knowledge OF her
husbands absolute ignorance OF the
crime sustains her. AS far as the sensa,
ton relates to her husband, she says
she sees in 1t Chicago newspaper rot,
composed partly OF antiquated calum.
nles whose untruth was shown years
ago, and partly OF malignant aspersions
ol political enemies whose motives the
Chicago editors do not appreciate. She
deeply deplores Cronin's death, and says
the presumption that her husband had
q personal interest In his death rests
upon IN error, Which for the time may
seem to justify censure. This errorwill
be perfectly shown hereafter. Those
who now condemn her husband will be
generous enough to acknowledge his
patience and fortitude,
