These sensational developments were
the first result of the verdict of the cor.
oner's jury rendered Tuesday night
The coroner's Investigation into the
murder of DR.. P. H. Cronin was concluded
late Tuesday afternoon and the jury re.
tired.
1t was within a few minutes Of ten
O'Clock when the foreman intimated that
the jury had agreed upon q verdict Only
Coroner Hertz and q small knot Of specta.
tors were in the room. The verdict was
read in slow and impressive tones:
We, the undersigned q jury appointed to
make inquiry according to law as to how the
body viewed by us came to his death state IS
nuvv f1irff he
First-That the body is that of Patrick H.
Cronin. known as DR.. Cronin.
Second-That his death was not from natural
causes, but from violent means.
Third-That the said Patrick H. Cronin was
decoyed from his home on North Clark street
on the evening Of May 4, 1889 by some person
or persons to the cottage known as the Carl
son cottage" situated at 1872 Ashland avenue.
Fourth-That at said cottage the said Cronin
was murdered by being beaten on his head with
some blunt instrument in Che hands Of some
person or persons to us unknown.
Fifth-That the body after Aid murder was
committed was placed in a trunk and carried to
Edgewater on a wagon by several persons and
by them placed in q catch basin at the corner
OF Evanston avenue and Fffty-ninth street.
Lakeview where it was discovered May p.
Sixth-That the evidence shows concuslvely
to our minds that q plot or conspiracy was
formed by number Of persons for the purpose
Of numbering the said Cronn 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 per-
sons while alive, to ascertain IL he had any
quarrels or enmities with any person sufficient
to cause his murder.
Eighth-It is our judgment that no other
person or persons except some Of those who are
or who ad been members of certain secret
society known as the United brotherhood, or
''Clan-na-Gael," hid come to be instigatOrs or
executors Of such plot or conspiracy to murder
said Cronin.
Nnth-Many of the witnesses testifying in
said case have done SO with much evident un-
reservation.
We infer from the evidence that a number of
persons were parties to the plot and conspiracy
to murder the said Cronin and that Daniel
Coughlin. Patrick o. Sullivan. Alexander Sui
livan and one Woodruff, alias Black. were either
principals, accessories or had guilty knowledge
of said plot and conspiracy 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 of it and should be appre-
hended and held to the grand jury.
We further state that this plot or conspiracy
in It's conception and execution Is one OF the
most foul and brutal that have ever come to
our knowledge and We recommend that the
proper authorities offer a large reward for the
discovery and apprehension Of all Of those en-
gagged in 1t in any way.
We further state that in our judgment all
secret societies whose objects are such as the
evidence shows that OF the Clan-na-Gael or
United BROTHERHOOD to be are not in har-
mony with and are injurious to American in
situations.
We hope that future vigor and vigilance by
the police force will more than compensate fos
past neglect by portion of the force in this
case. X. S. CRITCHELI.
