learned that DIR. Cronin's clothes have
been found. The first clue was obtained

ninth street sewer, unearthed the murdered
doctors pants. coat, shirt and undershirt.
They were buried over a foot underground.
The shirt bore the name OF this murdered
doctor, and the other articles were readily
recognized as portions OF his apparel.
Strange to say, however, the vest was
missing, and in it's place wasa vest Of much
coarser material. The garment presuma-
bly, belonged to one OF the murderers or

stained with blood.
