and New York, and the examination proceeded in this
wise:

"Can you give the jury any other reason why Alexander Sullivan
should be an enemy of Dr. Cronin?"

"I can give none except personal revenge."

"Revenge for what?"

"Because this man found him guilty of crime, of theft."

"By this man you mean Dr. Cronin?"

"Yes sir; and also because of treacherous conduct to members of the
organization."

"Do you believe, Mr. Dillon, that Dr. Cronin's opinion of Sullivan
was correct?"

"I do now. I used to think he exaggerated Sullivan's importance. I
looked upon him then as only an ordinary villain. But Cronin looked
upon him as a very dangerous man and a very able man."

"At the time of the existence of this so-called Triangle, Sullivan,
Boland and Feeley, do you know of their betraying any members of
the order?"

After a long pause the witness replied: "No; I believe men have
been betrayed."

"Could these men whom you believe to have been betrayed, have been
betrayed without the knowledge of the Executive?"

"No, they could not otherwise be betrayed."

"And men were betrayed?"

"I believe so."

"They were not known to anybody outside of the Triangle?"

"They were not supposed to be known."

"If known, where would those outside receive their information
from?"

"The executive; the Triangle and Executive were the same thing."

"At that time who were the Executive?"

"Alexander Sullivan, Dennis C. Feeley and Michael Boland."

"Have you ever heard from any of the members that Dr. Cronin, in
conversation, has charged that Alexander Sullivan had anything to
do with betraying the members?"

"No; I don't think the doctor has ever charged that against
Sullivan. He has told me that he believed men had been betrayed
through the intimacy of Alexander Sullivan with Le Caron."

"Was Le Caron a member of a camp in Illinois?"

"Yes, sir; in Braidwood, Ill."

"Who is Le Caron?"

"Well," the witness said, smiling, "I wish they had tackled him
instead of Dr. Cronin. I didn't know him personally."

"What position did he hold?"

"He held the position of chief officer--what would be the same as
president in an ordinary society."

"Was he once considered a good member of the order?"
