DETECTIVE ON THE WATCH
New YORK, June 13.-The Aaa and
| Express this evening says: A detective
from Scotland Yard stood on Cham bers
street, west of the County Courthouse,
to-day for over two hours. He had his
eye on POI Broadway, which is the office
OF David NJ. Neuberger, counsel for J. j.
Maroney, accused OF completely in the
murder of DR.. Cronin.
! TESTIMONY TO AN ALIBI.
Major Rudolph Fitzpatrick, of 147 West
Sixty-third street, who was Adjutant.
General in the Fenisn army that invaded
Canada, is one of the men willing to
swear that Maroney was in his place the
day Cronin was murdered. Fitzpatrick
has an English wife, who is an ardent
supporter of the irish aspirations. Fitz-
patrick and his wife are relied upon rs
two who will help TO establish an alibi
for Maroney. The attempt to prove the
prisoners innocence will not stop with
the evidence of Fitzpatrick and his vile
and E. J. Rowe, an ex-Clan Ma Gael
man.
One of Maroney's callers yesterday OF
the tombs was Thomas J. Dennehy, OF
the Wolf Tone Club, of Brooklyn. He
holds political Office in Kings county
and is a trusted man in the anti Dewey
Breslin wing OF the Clan Ma Gael. Mar
oney, Dennehy and Gen. Millen, the lat
dead, went across the Atlantic on q
mission not quite two years aga. Mar
oney was known as Melville. Dennehy
however, has many Clan-Na- Gael men
in his camp, and he ia expected to take
part in the alibi business.
CLAN MA GAEL MEETINGS.
The executive committee of the Clan
Ma Gael, or United Brotherhood of Am
erica, met last night and decided that
Maroney and Mcdonald should be kept
in New York, if possible by any form Of
law. All the members did not meet
together. Some were reached by tele-
graph and Patrick Egan, who is on the
ocean, was not, of course, reached. A
meeting fs said to have been held in
Philadelphia and those said to have been
present were Ronayne, Tierney, Bradley,
Condor and Leonard. These men are
anxious about Maroney because the Brit.
ish Government wants him.
