Dr. Cronin's Death Denied.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Referring to the
anonymous articles, dispatches, ETC.,
that have appeared in the press for the
past few weeks, stating that this and
that person does not believe DIR. Cronin
dead. a prominent member of the Cronin
committee said: "They are inspired by
the same source as was the conspiracy
to till DR.. Crenin, and they are circu-
lated Throughout the country for the
purpose of preparing the public for one
of the main points the defense will at
tempt to make at the trial.
1.-The defense will raise the point that
the death of Cronin has not been proved:
that the body was not positively identi.
fed, and the fact that the doctors
clothes would have been discovered in
England Just before the trial began,
would, had not that part of the scheme
already been nipped in the bud by the
press, tend to give color to the theory"
Several members of the Cronin commit
tee and friends of the doctor were
spoken to on this subject, and each gave
it as his opinion that the above explana-
ton of the attempts to circulate rumor
that DIR. Cronin is not dead, was the

Monument to New Epgland,s Defender

MYSTIC, Conn.,, July 1.-The monu-
ment to Capt. John Mason, called "the
defender of New England in 1887, has
been unveiled on Pequot hill, the site Of
the old fort. The statue is of bronze,
and was erected through an appropria-
ton made by the state legislature in
1877 and turned over to the New London
County Historical society. The pedestal
is ten feet high, and the bronze statue
represents fighting Puritan of heroic
size, the figure being nine feet high. The
site is very imposing and from it can be
seen three states, four counties, fifteen
towns twenty islands and seven light
houses. Capt. Mason's claim to this
honor is due to the fact that when the
population of Connecticut colony was
only $50. and the hostile Pequot Indians,
after reducing the number, were resolved
upon numbering them, Mason and his
men, aided by Uncas and a
small band of Mohegans, marched on the
Pequot fort containing over 100 Indians,
nearly the whole tribe, and burned and
slaughtered all but seven, thereby open
ing the way to forty years peace in New
England.
