He fell in love with the girl, who is
very pretty. Several times he proposed
marriage, but each time was rejected.
Sunday night he repeatedihis proposal
and was again told there was no hope
for him, when the swore that if he
could not have her no other man
should. Monday morning he went to
work as usual and about IL 80 o clock
quit work, went home and asked her
mother where Jennie was. On being
told that she was upstairs, Cronin went
up, met her in the hallway and asked
her for the last time if she would
marry him. Again he was told No,
and without a word he drew a revolv-
er and shot the girl in the heart, kill
ing her instantly, Mrs, Neblings heard
the shot and started upstairs to see
what was doing, when Cronin fired at
her, the ball passing through her arm.
He then fled TO the mountains. close
by. An alarm was given, the brick
works closed down and every man and
boy as well as many women started in
pursuit of the murderer. About two
O'Clock Monday afternoon party of
men overlook him on the top of Muncy
mountains, two miles from the scene
of the tragedy, and seeing that escape
was hopeless, the man turned his re-
volver toward himself He was dead
when the posse reached him. Cronin
was about thirty years old. He was an
industrious man, and it was mostly
because of his age that the girl spurn-
ed his love.
