counts. each eolipsing the other In redund
unit abundance OF ''wherefores" ''afore-
ssids," and other similar terms with
which the drawers or indictments

rraudulently. deceitrully. inaliciously,
feloniously to murder Patrick Henry
Cronin; the second, that they did assault

Cronin, and inflicted bruises. wounds
decorations and contusions of which
Cronin died; the third, that they did in such
above described manner kill Cronin. In
the other counts the weapons are described
as both blunt and sharp Instruments; the
wounds are minutely described, aud with
much legal verbiage the charge il reiter-
ated against the seven men named in the
Indictment aud loopholes OF every kind
are carefully closed with adjectiyes and adj
verbs in great number The form Of the
Indictment is such that the States Attorney
claims all the men mentioned in 1t will

peared, but before be left he was ing uarded
in his conversation, and from his own
lips was obtained the most important
evidence so far adduced against the leader
In DR. Cronin's murder IL is the belief OF

There was considerable surprise expressed
over the failure of the grand jury TO In
clude the name of Alexander Sullivan In
the list of indictments. but despite the
most earnest efforts the jurors were unable
to secure any evidence OF a nature that
would justify the return OF a true bill
What was heard was damning implication
