who had been members OF a certain secret soci-

ecutors OF such plot or conspiracy to murder
said Cronin.
Ninth Many of the witnesses testifying in
said case have done SO with much evident un-
willingness, and we believe with much mental
reservation.
We find from the evidence that numb Der of
persons were parties to the plot and conspiracy
to murder the said Cronin, and that Daniel
Coughlin, Patrick O. Sullivan. Alexander Sulli-
van and one Woodruff, alias Black, were either
principals. accessories, or had guilty knowledge
Of said plot and conspiracy to murder said
CrOnin and conceal his body, and should be held
to answer to the grand jury.
We also believe that other persons were en-
gagged in this plot or had guilty KNOWLEDGE of it
and should be apprehended and held to the
grand jury. E ss 5g 4
We further state that this plot or conspiracy
in it's 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 large reward for the discovery
and apprehension of all those engaged in it in
any way.
We further state that in our Judgment all Sc
cret societies whose objects are such as the evi-
United Brotherhood" to be not in harmony
with, and are Injurious to American ins5itu-
tions..
We hope that future vigor and vigilance by the
police force will more thon compensate for past
neglect by portion of the force in this case.
