Identifying the Body.

John e. Scanlon, Mortimer Scanlon
and John II. Scanlon were among the
first who arrived. They identified the
body as that of Cronin upon first sight.
Later it was more positively identified
by T. Conklin, the saloon keeper with
whom Cronin lived, and by James
Boland and Patrick McGary.
In the evening DIR. r.. j. Brandt, pres
ident of the Cook county hospital staff.
carefully examined the body and posi-
lively identified it as that of Cronin.
He discovered upon the head the follow
ing cuts and bruises: Over the left
temple, cut four inches long through
the scalp and through the skull; over
the left parietal bone, cut one and q
half inches long which also marked the
skull; also cut one and half inches
long over the frontal bone at the Juno
ton of the left parietal; a cut three
inches long through the scalp and mark
ing the occipital bone; another two
inches long also marking the occipitaI
bone. A large bruise back of the fore
head on the right parietal bone and near
it, two cuts each an inch long; bruises
on the left leg and severe contusions ap-
parently made by a bludgeon on the
forehead.
The doctor said that the blows must
have been made by some sharp instru-
ment, perhaps an icc pick. He said if
the instrument had not been sharp, the
skull would have been fractured, where
as It was only indented or marked by the
blows.
The BODY was in the Trunk.
DR.. Brandt examined the hair found
IN the trunk on Evanston avenue and
stated that it was DIR. Cronin's hair.
There are other reasons for believing
that Cronin's body was carried in the
trunk. There was. cotton found about
the feet and under the chin Of the
corpse, Of the same quality as the cot
ton found in the trunk and the threads
Of cloth found ii the cotton in the
trunk corresp0nded IN appearance with
the threads Of the towel wrapped about
Cr0nin's head. When the towel was re-
moved part Of Cronin's mustache came
of with It, showing that decomposition
was already far advanced.
The body was much swollen owing to
its long stay under the water In the
basin. However, there can Be no mis-
take as to the identification.

sensational Ruinors Concerning Alasku

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The story Is
afioat that England has determined to
send nlan-of-war to Alaska to protect
the illicit scaling vessels flying the Brit
ish flag from seizure and condemnation
by the United Sites under the provi-
sions Of the recent proclamation issued
by President Harrison, and there Is
great excitement in consequence.
The report goes that the Thetis, of the
navy, and the Bear and the Rush, Of the
revenue marine, have been ordered to
proceed at once to Alaskan waters to
head off the intruder and to keep peace
or preserve the proclamation at ali haz-
ards.
This story is discredited at the treasury
department, and Capt. Bonnell, chief Of
the revenue marine bureau, states that
he had no official knowledge of any eff
fort ON the part Of England to circum-
vent the strict carrying out Of the proc
lamation. The Thetis has been ordered
to cruise around Point Barren to give all
possible aid in the establishment Of the
refuge station there, and the Bear and
the Rush viii start ON their regular
cruises as soon as they are in condition.

CHICAGO, May ss. The body Of DR..
P. H Cronin. the Irish agitator who dis
appeared two weeks ago, was found yes
terday afternoon in catch basin on
Evanston avenue. A towel was wrap
ped about the head, but the rest of the
body was stark naked. The Catholic
charm called the Agnus del which the
doctor always wore next his skin sus-
pended about his neck, was untouched.
On the head were the marks left by
dozen deep cuts.
It is the opinion of the police that
Cronin was murdered by some man who
could not bring himself to disturb Cath

The corner of Fifty-ninth street and
Evanston avenue IS about 800 yards
from the Argyle Park station, ON the
Chicago and Evanston branch of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road 1t is but two or three blocks from
the lake, and about nine-tenths of mile
north from the corner of Sultzer street
and Evanston avenue, where the empty
trunk was found after Cronin's disap-
pearance. There are four catch basins
at the intersection of the street, and the
body was found in the one at the south
east corner. It seems altogether re-
markable that it was not sooner discov-
cred, for the Lakeview police started
out to search all the catch basins in the
city the week after the bloodstained
trunk was found.
Immediately upon taking the body
out of the basin Foreman Roosch noti-
fled the Lake View station and sum-
moned the patrol wagon. The body was
stretched out in the Lake View morgue
which occupied the front room in the
basement. Telephone messages were
sent to the city police and an hour after
the finding of the body dozen of Gro.
Minis friends were at the station.

The DIscovery.

A gang of laborers have been cleaning
the bitches along Evanston avenue
during the week. Yesterday Foreman
Roosch and two men were working north
on the east side of the avenue towards
Fifty-ninth street.
AS they neared the catch basin at the
corner they noticed strong smell Of
putrefying flesh. and Roosch pried off the
top of the catch basin with his spade and
uncovered the body of DIR. eCronin. 1t
had apparently been thrown into the
basin, for the head was down and the
feet and legs were in the sewer opening.

UNLUOKY THIRTEEN.

A woman who lived near Halifax, this
State. died shortly after having thirteen
teeth extracted. She suffered greatly
from toothache, and her husband becom-
ing exasperated by her frequent COM
plants of pain, threatened to leave home
unless she had the troublesome molars
removed. She was of All extremely ner-
vous temperament, and after much hesit-
fancy went to the dentists but tainted
before getting into the chair. Eventually
the extracting began, and after two teeth
had been drawn ''she pulled violently TO
escape the dentists operation. 1t was
necessary to have thirteen teeth removed
and the husband determined not to per-
nit his wife to leave the chair until every
one had been taken out. To make the
work easier for the dentist the husband
held his wife's head and arms SO that she
could not move, and the work continued
until all the teeth had been extracted. By
this time the woman was exhausted and
unable to rise from the chair. The two
men IT allied that she was in a dangerous
condition, and they at once applied res
toratives. A physician was summoned
and every effort was made to revive the
woman, but it was of no avail, and she
died two hours later
