CHICAGO, September 19.-The morning
papers all denounce yesterdays sens ational
story about Ic CarOn's daughter having
furnished evidence that DR.. CrOnin was
murdered by emissaries Of the British
Government as plot Of the so-called
Triangle"
The Times says Another scheme on
the part OF the defence. and one which has
in view nothing less than tLe absolute
clearing OF the Crouin suspects and the
creation of public sentiment ~ their be-
half. was sprung on the public yesterday.
In bOldDees Of design il Is quite equal to
that Of tho stupouaous conspiracy that
murdered DR.. Cronin. How or from what
source came the first intimstion Of what
character and nature the Cronin de-
fence was 10 be nobody knows. But sud-
denly and simultaneously M AL the after
noon papers there appears the plan OF de-
fence so skihully told rs 20 blind the ave
rage reader and make him believe that
this craftily-prepared story is a reality"

advanced by the triangle 10 account for
the murder Of DR.. Cronin is worthy Of that
prince Of rOmancers. Baron Munchausen
himself. The instiCators Of the crime aud
their apolog:sts and defenders have out
done themselves. Not only IS this new
theory palpably false and malicious, but
ridiculous M the extreme and unworthy Of
q moments cons deratiOn did II not out
line part Of the plan Of defence.
Tho plan Was worthy of the brain which
devised the dccoy contract, the forged
kilograms from Toronto. the tin box Of
klauoes. the reutingO # the cottage at Wool
wich and the discovery Of the exhumod
corpse dressed IN the murdered mans
clothes found floating H. the Thames. Bot
unfortunately the plot falls through for n
