tried and expelled from the Clan.na-
Gael, was subjected to q most rigorous
examination as TO the details Of the
working of the Olan,na.Gael or United
brotherhood, and required TO give his
reasons for having originally suspected
Cronin Of treason 10 the cause. The
witness denied that he had been actua-
ted by undue malice against Cronin,
and insisted that he had preferred his
charges against the latter entirely upon
his own motion, and had been in no
wise influenced by Alexander Sullivan,
Patrick MCGary and his wife were

a warm personal friend Of Cronin, and
was one OF those to whom the last fre-
quently expressed fears Of personal vic.

Ig and told another chapter OF the
great Cronin plot. lie said that the
murdered doctors clothes were sent TO
london In box three days after the
murder. The garments are now In the
English capital. It was the intention OF
he Conspirators TO secure q dead body,
lress 1t In tue clothes Cronin wore at his
leath and then cast the corpse into the
Thames.
The conspirators had carried DR..
Jronin as far as Toronto. He was to
appear two weeks later in Paris, q man
having been sent there 10 cable fictitious
Information about the doctor to the
newspapers in America. Then DR..
Jronin was to mySteriously disappear.
The next incident in the great mystery
vas to be the finding Of the corpse in
he Thames.
Then the story was to be circulated
hat DR., Cronin had been killed as q
British spy. The officers claim that this
asst chapter OF the plot is authentic, and
leclare that they arc in a position TO
prove that the conspirators not only
plotted in the United States, but on the
continent as well.
