minister had caused
all his trouble, but would not disclose his name.

The woman who accompanied the Doctor from Toronto to Hamilton
proved to be from Buffalo and had no knowledge of the company she
was keeping until she read the paper. The Doctor says that the man
who walked up Yonge street with him Friday afternoon was also
unknown to him until Thursday night and that he was on his way to
Winnipeg. This man has been located at Collingwood, a small town
about 100 miles north of Toronto. He is unknown there, and may be
waiting a steamer which would take him to Winnipeg.

Cronin is still in town and a close watch is being kept on all his
movements.

CRONIN'S ENEMIES IN HIGH GLEE.

In another dispatch it was stated that Dr. Cronin had, on Saturday
night, accepted the hospitalities of W. J. Starkey, an ex-Chicago
lawyer. On the following morning, so the same dispatch went on to say,
the physician had actually been entertained by Long at his residence. To
ninety-nine out of a hundred people, this was conclusive. Everything

to the lump. The story told by Woodruff was recalled, and it was
insidiously suggested in one quarter that the physician was the
mysterious "Doc," and that having performed a criminal operation upon
the equally mysterious "Alice," whose remains had been taken to the park
in the trunk, he had fled the country to avoid the legal consequences of
his crime. In another direction it was boldly charged that before many
days the physician would turn up in London in the _role_ of a second Le
Caron. Said one of his most inveterate opponents:

"Dr. Cronin is not dead; at least he wasn't assassinated at the end
of his buggy ride with a strange man last Saturday night. Neither
is he likely to be found in this city or State, and perhaps not in
the United States. And there is much reason to suspect that he went
at the beck and call of the English Gov
