not use the alias given him by "The Tri-
ANGLE" and the intimation in his evil
dence ia that this was what saved him
from falling into the hands of the English
authorities. He and his partner "per-
formed four operations" The trouble in
the Pittsburg Convention was told about.
An objection was made to Tim Cream and
Florence Sullivan being seated as proxies
for Father Dorcy and Alexander Sullivan.
THE JURY SATISFIED.
After reading the evidence the jury
were asked il they wanted to hear any
more witnesses, the Coroner saying that
he had plenty of witnesses who could
give 'corroborating evidence" The
jury did not want to hear any more, and
at 40 O'Clock, retired for deliberation to
the Coroner's office. At O'Clock the
jury sent out for supper, which was
brought in to them.
At AS p. M. the jury were still in
secret session. States ATTORNEY Longe-
necker had been sent for twice. He
| stated on coming out of the iury.room
that the jury had decided to hold Alex
ander Sullivan and several Others, but
that the names of the others had not
been decided on.
At loss the Coronor's jury brought in
Their verdict, the feature of it being the
recommendation that Alexander Sulli-
van be held, also three others under
arrest. At 1890, officers were dis.
patched to Sullivan's residence to arrest
him.
At 1015 p. M, after being out five
hours and half, the jury came into
court and commenced reading their ver-
dict. 1t was a long document, but was
| listened to with marked attention.
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY.
The following is the full text OF the
verdict of the Coroner's jury:
1--WE, the undersigned jury, appointed to
make inquiries, according to law, as to how
the man, whose body was viewed by u.s. came
| to his de-th, find:
First. That the body is that OF Patrick II .
| Cronin, known as Doctor Crunin.
Second. That his dea h was not from natural
| causes, but from violent means.
Third. That said P II. Cronin was deceived
from his home, on North Clark street, on the
| evening of May a, 1889, by some person or
persons, to cottage known as the Carlson cot
tage, situated at No. 1872 North Ashland ave
| nue. in Lakeview, Cook county, Illinois.
Fourth That at said cottage, said Oronin was
murdered by being beaten on the head with
| some blunt instrument or instruments, in the
hanos or some person or persons unknown to
us, on the night OF said May 4th, or between
| May ALL UT May Ot0, 1889
Fifth. hat the body, after said murder was
committed, was placed in q trunk and carried
| TO EogeWater on wagon by several persons
and by them placed in the eaten basin at the
| corner OF Evanston avenue and Fifty ninth
May o. 1889.
Sixth. hat the evidence shows conclusive
to all minds that a plot or conspiracy was
| forme by a number of persons for the purpose
OF numbering said Cronin and concealing his
| body, and that said plot or conspiracy was de-
| nDeratelV cuQtriyp1 and pruallV tod
| seventh. We have carefully inquired into the
relations sustained by said Cro in to other per
sons while alive, to ascertain If he had any en-.
emles or quarrels with any persons sufficient to
| cause his murder.
Eighth. 1t is our judgment that no other per-
| son or persons, except some of those who are
or who had been member of a certain secret
| society, known as the United Brotherhood"
| or Clam Gael, had cause to be instigators or
executors OF such plot or conspiracy to murder
| said Cronin.
Ninth. Many of the witnesses testifying in
| said case have done so with much unwilling
ness and, we believe with much mental reser-
walton. We find from the evidence that mum.
Der OF persons were parties to the plot and con-
spiracy to murder said Cronin, aud that Daniel
van and one Woodruff alias Black, were either
principals, accessories, or had guilty knowledge
OF the said plot and conspiracy to murder said
Cronin and conceal his body, and should be
held to answer to the Grand Jury. We also be.
lieve that other persons were engaged in this
plot, or had guilty knowledge Of it, and should
be apprehended and held to the Grand Jury.
We further state that this plot, or conspiracy
| in its conception and execution, is one of the
| most foul and brutal that has ever come to our
knowledge, and we recommend that the proper
authorities offer a large reward for the discoy-
cry and apprehension of all those engaged in it
i'll any way
We further state that, in our judgment, all
secret societies whose objects are such as the
evidence shows that nf "Clan-na-9ael" or
| UNITED Brotherhood" to be, are not in rmony
with, and are injurious to American institu-
tions. We hope that future vigor and vigilance
by the police force will more than comp snsate
for past negligence by portion of the force in
this case"
