The Coroner's Jury Renders a Verdiet Holding the Noted Lawyer Guilty of Complicity in the Cronin Murder —Full Text of Their Decision,

SULLIVAN IN JAIL.

Cmc.;eg, Jane 12.—At 4:45 p. m. Tuesday ethe jury in tvhe Cronin inguest took the case and retired for deliberation. 'Shortly "before 10 p. m. the foreman intimated that the jury had agreed upon a verdict. Only - Coroner Hert«x and a small knot of spectators were in the room. The verdict was read in slow and impressive tones;

“We, the undersigned, a jury appointed to make inquiry according to law as to how the body viewed came to his death, state as our verdict, from the evidence: ; *l{. Thatthe body is that of Patrick H. Cronin, known as Dr. Cronin. *2. That his death was not from natural causes but from violent means. ; 3. That the said Patrick H. Cronin was decoyed from his home on North Clark street on the evening of May 4, 1889, by some person or persons to the cottage known as the ‘Carlson cottage,’ situated at No. 1872 North Ashland avenue. : .

‘4, That at said cottage the said Cronin was murdered by being beaten on his head with some blunt instrument in the hands of some person or persons to us unknown. *5, That the body. after said murder was committed was placed in a trunk and carried to Edgewater on a wagon by several persons and by them placed in a catch-basin at the corner of Evanston avgnue and Fifty-ninth street, Lake View, where it was disccvered May 22. ¢6. That the evidence shows conclusively to our minds that & plot or conspiracy was formed by a number of persons for the purpose of murdering the said Cronin and concealing his body; said plot or conspiracy was deliberately contrived and cruelly executed. ‘7. We have caretully inquired into the relations sustained by said Cronin to other persons while alive to ascertain if he had any cause or enmity with any person sufficient to caiuise his murder. !

*B, It is our judgment that no other person or persons except some of thosé who are or had beeu members of a certain secret society known as ‘United Brotherhood’ or ‘Clan-na-Gael' had any cause to be the instigators or executors of such plot or conspiracy to murder said Cronin.

*9. Many of the witnesses testifying in the case have done so with much evident unwillingness and, as we believe, with much mental reservation, *'lo. We find from the evidence that a number of persons were parties to this plot and congonspiracy to murder the said Cronin, and that Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O’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 they should be held to answer to the grand jury. *ll. We also believe that other persons were engaged in this plot or had guilty knowledge of it and should be apprehended and held to the grand jury. i ¢l2. We further state that this plot or conspiracy in its conception and execution is one of the most foul and brutal that has ever come to our knowledge, and recommend that the proper authorities offer a large reward for the discovery and conviction of all of those engaged in it in any way. ; *lB. 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 the United Brotherhood to be, are not in harmony with and are injurious to American institutions. .

“14. We hope that future vigor and vigilance by the police force will more than compensate for past neglect by a part ot the force in this case.” :

It is reported in police circles that no less than thirty warrants are being made out for suspected accessories, all of which will be served at once. The list is said to include the following: John F. Beggs, Officer Dan Brown, Harry Jordan, Michael Boland, Lawrence R. Buckley, Peter McGeehan, D. C. Feeley, Frank Murray, J. J. Bradley, J. J. Cunea and John Moss. Itis also reported that a warrant will be issued for the arrest of Henry Le Caron, the English spy, and his extradition demanded. The majority of those named are prominent officers of the Clan-na-Gael ¢ ;

Immediately upon the verdict being rendered Deputy Sheriffs Palmer, Broderick and Williams drove in a carriage to the residence of Alexander Sullivan on Oak street, in the North division. Even on this critical day the coolness which has characterized the noted Nationalist from the opening of the investigation remained with him. Although the jury had retired before he had left his law office under the shadows of the county building and he knew full well that his arrest was inevitable before morning he was in bed and sound asleep when the deputies arrived. They had expected to find him awaiting them and surrounded by his friends. Instead of this his law clerk, Henry Brown, and the domestics, were the only occupants of the house. He responded with alacrity to the summons and in a few minutes was up and dressed. He said nothing when the warrant was read, but with a self-possessed smile accompanied the officers to the carriage. The party was rapidly driven to the county jail, where after the usual forms had been gone through Sullivan was placed in a cell on the ground tloor near where the Anarchists were incarcerated. :

Before departing for the jail Mr. Sullivan made an earnest request that he be permitted to remain over might a captive in his own home. He did not plead. He lost none of the cool dignity of his bearing in forming the request, and he exhibited no impatience or chagrin at Deputy Sheriff Palmer’s prompt but positive refusal “I give you credit, Mr. Sullivan, for being a very cool man,” said the veteran detective. 7

“Well,” said Mr. Sullivan, ‘‘a man with a clear conscience need never worry, and I know of no wrong I have done.” = ' Then he donned his overcoat and hat and led his captors from the house. CLOSE OF THE INQUEST. ~ CeICAGO, June 12.—The first witness in the Cronin inquest at the morning session was John C. Gerrity, a teamster living at 121 Superior street. The substance of his testimony was that about two years ago Dan Coughlin came to him and asked him if he thought he could get Major Sampson to “do up a fellow for him.” Couglin said: ‘‘Take a ball bat and break his nose or knock out his teeth, disfigure him for life—gany thing to ‘do him up.’” Witness said to Coughlin: ‘‘Suppose we kill him?” Coughlin replied: ‘‘Well, it wouldn’t make much difference if he was killed.” Gerrity told Coughlin he better see Sampson himself and Coughlin asked him to tell Sampson to come and see him. About two weeks after Sampson came to him laughing and asked if he knew what Coughlin wanted him to do. He said ‘‘No,” and Sampson said: “He wanted me to doup Dr. Cronin.” Witness said he todd Sampson to tell Dr. Cronin about it and to keep away from the whole business. Several times after this Coughlin asked witness to try and induce Sampson to do the job. Gerrity denied having any feeling of enmity against Sovglln, . ol Loan 5 ‘gftggm-,wasaxem:‘t:onfiwm%. D. Haggetty was called. Mr. Haggerty was sup‘Posed t 0 be one of the sensational witnesses of the trial, and his testimony did not fall below the expectations, D (DSt luw Mesnle Salirtr . o CNEAOR ve e e e “What did he say to you, if any thing, (Cronin for treason at Camp L LT and Mr. Sullivan, speaking of Dr. Cronin, ‘menace to the Irish caus 1_."".3 it would be ' Srall B ke Tk ke B 0 I b ks a%@fimw«%w gL e e

%I thought that Mr. Bullivan knew that Cronin was not fit to associate with us.” **What else was said?”

‘‘Well, just about that time a eircular was sent out to members of the order, saying that several hundred Scotland yard dotectives had been sent over here to investigcate the doings of the Irish revolutionists in this country, and the members were on the qui vive for traitors or for those who might be willing to sell the secrets of those who were to elevate our race and were engaged in a noble cause. The feeling was very bitter among us, and the life of any man suspected of being a spy would be in great danger. I mustsay I agreed in these sentiments. I’ thought that any man who could be base enough to betray the secrets of the order was vile. I coincided with Mr. Sullivan that thesepeople should be exterminated.” ;

*‘Was this sentiment expressed te others?”

*I presume it was. Tim Crain, the district officer who was scattering this information from man to man, could have told hundreds. Crain also speke the same as Sullivan. The name of traitor rouses before an Irishman’s mental vision a very vengeful idea, I can assure you. The Irish know what it is to suffer from informers, and they have but little mercy for them.”

*Give Sullivan’s exact words.” | “I would like to, but my memory fails me as to the exact words. The substance of it was that Cronin was dangerous to the Irish cause and should be removed from our ranks, one way or another.” ' “Did Alex Sullivan’s conversation convey to you the impression that Cronin’s life ought to be taken?” “That was the way I took it, and I felt that a man of that character who was trying to betray the secrets of the organization ought to be exterminated.” **Was the language used by Sullivan of flnough importance to endanger a man’s ife?”? ; ’

. “It certainly was. The language used by Sullivan or any other man, pointing out a man as a Bpy in our midst, was enough to endanger his life. To give any man such a reputation as, for instance, Le Caron has, would put him in danger.” ,

Witness said that Le Caron was a member of the committee which tried Dr. Cronin for treason. Le Caron was introduced to Haggerty by Alexander Sullivan is areputable man, well worthy of confidence. “In the obligation that you took as a member of the order is there any thing that would be binding on you to ‘remove’ a man if the order came to you from the executive?” .

‘“There is not.” ‘‘Would you obey such an order?” I certainly would refuse to obey such an order.” |

‘Do you think it possible that other men, less conscientious and with less prains than you, would obey such an order?”" “I am sorry to say that I believe now, since hearing the revelations at this trial, that there are men who might construe the duties of the obligation as binding to that extent.”

*Did Sullivan’s remarks have weight with you and make you suspect Cronin?”’ ‘‘They certainly did. He was a prominent man in the order, and from his relations with leading men here and abroad I knew he was a man of more than ordinary importance, and I attached great weight to his opinion. I did mot think, though, till I read it in the proceedings of this case that Alexander Sullivan could be guilty of being an accessory to this diabolical assassination.” : *Do you believe go now?” i

“‘The testimony here proves thathe wasa friend of Le Caron, and such a man would do any thing.” The afternoon session was full of interest. Hakan Martinson, the Swedish expressman who hauled the furniture from the Clark street flat opposite Cronin’s office to the Carlson cottage, told his story. He gaid he had seen the man that hired him several times since thatday, - = Officer Moore told of a conversation he had had with Croninin which the latter said that Sullivan had threatened to kill him and that he knew there was a conspiracy to put him out of the way.

The next witness was Chief-of-Police Hubbard, who repeated a statement: made to him by the prisoner Woodruff, and which the chief said he believed to be a true story. It was to the effect that two men named King and Fairburn had hired him several days before the tragedy to have a horse and wagon ready when they notified him, paying him $25. On May 4 he was ordered to be ready at 9 o’clock. He drove the man to the Carlson cottage, and after a few minutes they came out with the trunk which was placed in the wagon. By directions he drove to the pier at the lake off Fullerton avenue, the intention being to throw the trunk into deep water. Some fishermen were encountered, however, and it was decided to drive to Edgewater, several miles distant Here, while reconnoitering the lake front, a police officer questioned them, and being alarmed they determined to driye toward the city again. When passing the man-hole they ordered him to stop. The trunk was taken out by the two men and lifted into the hole. It was too large, however, to go in. Then, «after telling him to drive on a few yards they' kicked in the side and deposited the body in the basin. Woodruff testified at the time it was the corpse of a woman. The trunk was lifted back into the wagon, but subsequently thrown into a clump of bushes where it was found. Then he drove the men to Lincoln Park where they departed. : A loud buzzing went through the courtroom when the chief concluded, and it was renewed when Coroner Hertz, holding up a small package, announced that he proposed to submit some of the private papers -of the deceased. @ He first read two dispatches from New York, one dated January 13, ‘and signed J. T. McMahon, requesting the doctor to be peremptorily at Westminster Hotel January 15 for a committee meeting, and the other dated January 18, signed Ronayne, saying: ‘lt is ordered by proper authorities that you send your report on the trial’’ To this a copy of the reply was appended: "I vote as I did at the trial. Mackey has the records.” Then came the minority report of the Buffalo trial, signed by Dr. McCahey, of Pliladelphia, and indorsed by Cronin. Finally the coroner submitted the notes of the evidences as taken at this trial, the hand-writing of the deceased having first been identified. In this document the objections raised by Alexander Sullivan against .Cronin sitting on the committee were stated at length The protest was overruled by the votes of Burns, Rogers, McCahey and Cronin. One witness (name not given, but supposed to he Luke Dillon) testified that he was sent to England to do ‘‘active work.! He was given £4 and a steerage ticket. As soon as he reached London he was called upon by _two men whom he believed to be Scotland | Yard detectives.

4, ARRESTS IN NEW YORK.

New YORK, June 12.—Inspector Byrnes’ detectives have arrested dohn Marouey, aged 38, who claims to be in the dry-goods business, and Charles MecDonald, same age, who is a blacksmith. These men were arrested on information sent to Inspector Byrnes by the €hicago police, and are supposed te be implicated in the Cronin murder. Inspector Byrneshas been in communication with the Chicago chief of police for more than three weeks with regard to the men and has had them closely shadowed. o ‘ Maroney was formerly district memberof the Clan-na-Gael in Philadelphia. He made himself obnoxious there and had to leave. He is understood vo have performed missions of a private nature since then tox Alexander Sullivan. Maroney went to England at the time of the Queen’s jubilee, with others, supplied with funds to blow up several public buildings. Two of his companions were'placed under arrest and it is charged that Maroney spent the funds traveling on the continent. Charles McDonald is a horse-shoer and has-a room at Third avenue and Thirtyeighth street. He has worked here at his trade for two years He came from Philadelphia about the same time as Maroney. Among Clan-na-Gael men he has been a decided partisan of Sullivan and his faction. Two more arrests were made Tuesday night in connection with the Cronin mystery. The names are withheld. . CHrcaco, June 11.—Maroney and MecDonald, the men arrested in New York, will soon be Kkeeping company with Coughlin, O’Sullivan and their fellows behind the bars of Cook County jail. A messenger detailed from the Pinkerton detective agency is now en route to Springfield armed with papers that will secure requisitions for the two men. THese papers once secured detectives will hasten away to New York and return at once with the prisoners.

The investigating committee has had for some time a picture of one of the two men now under arrest in New York, and it is claimed that the picttire has been positive-: ly identified by at least two of A. H. Revell's clerks as that of the man who purchased the furniture and carpets delivered at 117 Clark street and afterward found in the bloody cottage in Lake View, and who bought the trunk found on Evanston avenue. It is thought that Maroney’s picture is the one identified; that’ Maroney is the man ‘‘Simens,” and that McDonald is either the man who drove the white . horse or one of the ‘‘Willlams” brothers who rented the cottage. ,

MORE CHEERFUL.

Johnstown Citizens ,Recovering; ; from Their Terrible Shock—Preparing to Resume Business—Stores Opening and the Debris Gradually Being Cleared Away —The State Assumes Control of Affairs —More Bodies Found.

JoHNsTOWYN, Pa., June 12.—This morning the State takes hold of the stupendous work of restoring the valley to its normal condition before the flood, and all work done after this will be under the supervision of Adjutant-General Hastings. =~

After twelve days of almost superhuman work by the army of volunteers, the State will assume its proper place in the work and do what every citizen of this commonwealth has known for days to.be its duty.

The new leaders claim to have a number of plans to introdnce by which the work of clearing up the wreckage and caring for the survivors will be greatly systematized and simplified. . The military will be retained. S

. The commissary department will be in charge of Colonel J. L. Spangler, Assistant Quartermaster-General. Two post commissaries and eleven district commigsaries will be established. Colonel Spangler said: “Ihave figured on feeding the sufferers in this section. Five days’ rations for 20,000 veople, the number we will have to take care of, will cost §10,625, or about §3,500 a day. That is, it would cost that much had we to pay for the provisions. In about fifteen days, when the Cambria Iron Works are started, we will be relieved of about one-third of this'number. In this calculation I am not figuring on the labore ers, but only the actual needy ones. Of course, as fast as business begins and our stores open the number will be reduced. The Cambria Iron Company will have its store ready in a few days, which will relieve us somewhat."’

Quartermaster Baker started out four men to canvass Johnstown proper in order to classify those needing provisions. At night the men turned in 1,187 names and the city was not mnearly all visited. Quartermaster Baker says that a surprising amount of need was unearthed. Clothing .is needed very generally., A great many ladies were found whose families were really suffering who had failed through a sénse of delicacy to apply for aid. The expectation is that the food and clothing which has been going in large lots to undeserving persons will now go to the more respectable and retiring class. e An exodus set in here yesterday which reduced the number ot men now here by many hundreds. The willing and hardworking volunteer laborers began to leave early in the morning and the train leaving here at 8 o’clock took over 400 away. They said they would not work for $1.50 for General Hastings nor anybody else. // It is the gerneral opinion here that Geéneral Hastings has made a mistake in offering less to the men than .paid at present, 2, and that the result will be a temporary cessation of work. i CITIZENS MAKING A START. The spirit of recqyvery took a firm hold on Johnstown’s citizens on Tuesday. Everywhere owners of property seemed to have regained their senses and were hard at work cleaning' out their cellars, drying carpets and bedding, and inaugurating a general renovation. The women labored bravely, and with water and brush soon began to see their floors for the first time in twelve days. The mud is caked all over the walls and furniture and most of the carpet is utterly useless, but it will have to be used until something better can be secured. Beveral store-keepers also opened for business, and a more hopetul feeling was to be seen on every hand. = Thirty-eight bodies were recovered Tuesday, all of them being in an advanced stage of decomposition. The morgues are about to be abandoned on account of the bad condition of bodies being recovered. Identification is almost impossible unless by personal effects found upon the bodies. . ~ There is a hungering for orphans here that can not be satistied. The city was thoroughly canvassed Tuesday but with lnttle success. Anumber of ictters containing money to defray expenses of the children can not be satisfactorily answered, as the orphans are not to be found. = 1

+IBERATED.

Judge Tuley Decides That Alexander Sullivan Is Enotitled to Bail, and the Distinguished Prisoner Is ' Roleased ‘Under a Bond of s2o,ooo—Substance of the Judge’s Opinion.

CricAGo, June 15.—Alexander Sullivan is &t liberty under bail of $20,000. His bonds~ men are Hon. Fernando Jones, one of the oldest and most wealthy settlers of Chicago and who celebrated his seventieth ‘birthday last week; J. W. Tuohy, the extensive dry-goods merchant; Michael W. Kerwin, a real-estate operator, and Daniel Corkery, coal merchant. The combined fortunes of the four men probably exceed. $1,500,000. : ‘ It was expected that Judge Tuley would decide the habeas corpus case during the forenoon, but he was unable to condplete the examination of testimony amd indite: hisopinion before 3:45 p. m. e The scene around the court was intensely dramatic. Inside every seat and every foot of ground was occupied and even the bench was invaded. Outside in the corridor -a great crowd, made up in the main. of men whose countenances denoted their Celtic origin, struggled and tore and beat in vain against the doors. . Sullivan escorted by Sheriff Matson and two ‘deputies was brought in through a private entrance. He was a shade paler than usual, and took a seat among his counsel. At 3:45 p. m. Judge Tuley ascended the bench and without delay plunged intothe case. e ;

Having explained the petition and the law upon which it was based, he proceeded to briefly review the testimony taken at the coroner’s inquest, and which had covered 1,100 pages of type-written copy. He quoted extensively from the ev~ idence of the- witnesses to whom Cronin had said that Alexander Sullivan would be the cause of his death, and that the latter had instigated a conspiracy to kill him. None of this evidence,, ‘he said, would be admitted in a court of law. This excluded, there was practically no evidence against him. ~

It was conceded that Sullivan was am enemy of Cronin’s; it was also conceded that Cronin was a bitter enemy of Sulfivan’s. There were several theories of the murder. One was that he was murdered by people for revenge growing out of the society troubles. Assuming this to be so, what evidence was there identifying Sullivan with the crime? He wasnot shown to be connected with the renting -of the cottage: or the hiring of the horse and buggy. It was not shown that he knew O’Sullivan or had met any of the other prisoners. No act could be traced home to him. :

-The theory that he was killed to prevent the- exposition of the secrets of the ‘‘triangle” was unreasonable. It did net appear that Cronin was in possession of any vital facts. All he had would have been in existence “after his death. He could not have taken it with him, and all of the evidence taken at the Buffalo investigation was in the possession of Dr. McCahey, of Philadelphia, and others. , i As to the theory that it was premeditated as a result of a decree of the Clan-na-Gael, the fact stood out that Sullivan had severed: his existence with that order years ago.. How, then, could he influence or control it? It was not shown that he had ever met or had any business dealings with any of the conspirators. The jury was influenced by heresay testimony:. The strongest evidence against Sullivan. was furnished by himself. It was the protest issued five days after the doc%)r's disappearance against his sitting on the Sullivan trial committee. It was couched im language of extraordinary virulence and hatred. = But this very publication at such atime tended toshow that Sullivan ‘had no knowledge of the conspiracy. It geemed incredible that if he was a party to it he would promulgate. such a document right after the murder. The evidence pointed to Sullivan as a man who desired revenge on Cronia but it pointed to no overt act. ‘No impartial man could ‘make up his mind that any jury would convict Sullivan on this evidence, The mere fact that one party was an enemy of the man killed was no proof that he was a participant in the murder. . In conclusion, the judge said he had, therefore, come to.the decision, and not without very considerable hesitation, that bail to such an extent as to insure his appearance should an indictment be found should-be aceepted. ' | Sullivan presénted his usual cool, stolid demeanor when the decision was announced, and an attempt to applaud was suppressed by the bailiffs. %‘here was an argument between the State’s Attorney and Mr. Trude as to the amount of bail. = The latter;” who said Sullivan was almost entirely without means, thought, $5,000 to $lO,OOO sufficient. Finally $20,000 was agreed upon; the four gentlemen named swore to the jaggregate possession of over half a million of real es—tate; the bonds were made out and signed, and Sullivan walked out of the room a free man. : :

States-Attorney Longenecker stated as hie opinion that Judge Tuley, having declared Sullivan entitled to bail, the judges of the criminal court will hold the same way, even after the action of the grand

' One of the men most active in the investigation said, in speaking of Judge Tuley's decision: ‘‘There is nothing in it to discourage us. We knew that there was great liberty taken in bringing out evidence before the coroner’s jury, and:we are also aware of the fact that the testimony elicited would net secure a conviction before a petit jury. We regard the decision in the light of a victory in so far that such heavy bail was demanded.” : CHICAGO, June 15. — State’s Attorney Longenecker says he is surprised at the ac—

tion of Governor Hill, . because a few weeks ago a similar requisition for an offender was honored without question. - When asked what course he would now puysue the State’s Attorney said that it _ would be useless to do any thing until indictments are returned against Maroney and McDonald,

Then another requisition from Governor Fifer will be obtained and, if necessary, people will be sent on to New York to “establish the identity of the men wanted. . EXPLODING GAS. .
