Fact OF The Murder.
DIR. CrOnins blOod-stained clothes
were shipped, it is claimed, from Chica-
go to London, consigned to some un-
known person. This remarkable state
ment was made to the police on the 10Th
by a man who claims to have full
knowledge of what nc Is talkiny about.
According TO this unknown informant
DR.. Cronin's clothes were taken from
his dead body and placed in a box
which was expressed to man
IN New York and by him sent
to London. In a few weeks ct an
opportune moment DIR. Cronin's body
was to have been found on the banks of
the Thames River, England. In every
material particular this body would
have corresponded exactly with that of
Z. ii. Cronin, who suddenly disappear
ed from Chicago on the night of May T.,
1889, who was seen IN Toronto a few
days later, and who, several weeks after
that, was interviewed in Paris. Upon
his person papers were to be found
which would have revealed the motiy,
of his murder, and branded him as u
British spy and Irish traitor.
