Cook County About TO Be victimlzed

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 1.-THE Daily Ncrs
states that It has laid before the Citizeus'
Association the details OF plan to doiraud
the county out OF more than $3.50, 900 in
taxes, and calls upon tho assessors of the
south and west towns to use their utmost
vigilance to prevent II. The conspiracy, 1t
is alleged, is among INSCRIPTIONS em-
ployos and ex-employcs Of the county,
Conicderates arc sent among property
owners, who ii is believed can bc ap.
preached with safety, and they arc in
formed that their taxes can be reduced
one-half. The fee for such reduction is 20
be one-balf OF the amount saved 10 the
property owner. In short, II the taxes
were 81 900 and were reduced to $500 the
sdjuster would expect to &c, $3.50. Tho
adjuster argues that the assessment being
reduced II is safe 10 assume that IL will re-
main 30 for several years. The production IL
very simple matter. The oonspirator,
who is a trusted employee OF tho Assessors 8
Office, will procure a key and at all times

which the assessments arc entered aud
exposed to the public for inspection aud
correction. These blotters nro made out
by districts aud arc exposed usually on
the second Tuesday in June and for few
DAYS thereafter. Erasurcs and corrections,
honestly made, are OF frequent occurrence.
Hence the crasurcs OF tho conspirators

not oversee such matters OF detail. Extra
men, bunglers at that, are employed for
DAYS 10 write up the books. Everything
is done in hurry, aud men work night

work Is done in such haste aud IN such a

relations sustained by said Cronin to
other persons while alive, to ascertain ii
he had any quarrels or enemies with any
person su Efficient TO cause his murder.
&. Ii is our judgement that no other
person or persons except some of those
who are or who had been members of
secret society known as the United Bro
therhood or "Clan-na-Gae" had cause TO
be instiga;ors OF sa plot or conspiracy to
murder said Cronin.
8, Many of the witnesses testifying in
said case have done so with much evident
unwillingness, and, we believe, with much
mental reservation.
We find from the evidence that num-
Der OF persons, who were parties TO the
plot and conspiracy to murder the said
Cronin, and that Daniel Coughlin, Pat
rick .. Sullivan, Alexander Sullivan and
one Woodruff, alias Black, were either
principals, accessories, or had guilty
knowledge of said plot and conspiracy to
murder said Cronin and conceal his body,
and should be held TO answer to the Grand
Jury.
We also believe that other persons were
engaged in this plot or had guilty knowl-
edge OF il and should be apprehended and
held to the Grand Jury.
We further state that this plot or con-
spiracy in its conception and execution Is
one OF the most foul and brutal that has
ever come TO our knowledge. and we
recommend that the proper authorities
offer large reward for the discovery and
apprehension of all OF those engaged in ii
in any way.
We further state that in our judgment
all secret societies whose objects are such
as the evidence shows that OF the Clan-na-
Gael or United Brotherhood to be are
not in harmony with and are injurious to
American institutions.
We hope that future vigor and vigilance
by the police force will more than com.
pensate for past neglect by portion OF
the force in this case.

the instance Of Sullivan, when there really
was balance OF Sll 900 improperly spent
and not accounted for by the triangle;
that the men sent 10 England were not
sufficiently supplied with money, aud the
agent OF the triangle was responsible for
this; that SS7, l9l drawn from the treasury
for "active work" was not used for that
purpose by the triangle, but with surplus
money in the hands of "triangles" This
report was signed by McCahey and
Cronin, with recommendation that il be
printed and sent TO each camp.
The Coroner then read the Cronin notes
taken at the trial. The objections Alex
ander Sullivan made TO Cronin's sitting
on the committee are stated at large, and
also how they were overruled by the votes
OF Burns and Rogers, McCahey and
Cronin.
One witness testified that he was sent
TO England TO active work, and was given
"a and steerage ticket. lie came back
by steerage passage, without any clothes
or other necessaries He went again and
was to get some money to help him. John
j. Maroney was one OF the men who was
to help him. He was given 5000, and
when he go to England could get no more
lie did not use the alias given him by the
triangle, and the intimaiion in his evil
dence is that he was saved thereby from
falling into the hands Of the English au-
thorities. lie and his partner performed
four miracles" The trouble in Pittsburg
was told about. The objection was made
to Tim Cream and Florence Sullivan being
seated as proxies for Father Dorney and
Alexander Sullivan.
Tho jury were asked il they wanted to
hear any more witnesses who could give
coroboratng evidence. The jury did not
want TO hear any more, and at 4:40 o'clock
adjourned for deliberations.
