casion to go to Lake View to arrange some
deal In real estate in which they were i'm
terested. One of these is an Irish-Ameri-
can md member of the Clan-na.Gael or.
ganization. The other il a reputable
American citizen. They we're detained
until a late hour and stopped at
the house of a friend TO supper.
They did not get through until after 8
O'Clock, and on their way home they had
to walk by the Carlson cottage. AS they
passed the scene of the murder they saw q
buggy drive up. In 1t were seated two
men, and as they passed by ona of the.
pedestrians said to the other as the buggy
drove past. "See that man on the far side
OF the buggy; that is DIR. Cronin, the Irish
nationalist" As he spoke the words
front of the Carlson cottage. Cronin
sprang out and rushed up the steps ,as
II he had been summoned on a case OF
great emergency. The man who drove
the buggy stepped put and walked up. i
couple of steps. The Clan-na-Gael pedes-
trian was on the point Of hailing DR..
Cronin and speaking to him, but Is
the latter appeared to be in such a hurry
he refrained. The door was opened and
DIR. Cronin stepped inside. The man who
drove him there did not go inside. He
turned round from the foot of the steps.
jumped into the buggy, and drove away
as fast 8 the horse could take him.
