hanging of the actual murderers will not reach the root of the
crime. That will only be reached when the man with fertile brain
and inventive genius who engineered the crime while his pockets
were filled with the money plundered from the Irish people shall be
brought to justice. [Cheers and cries of "Sullivan! Sullivan!"]

"It is to this arch traitor that you want to look, and it is to him
and his henchmen that you must look. You must look to men who can
spend money like water, men who have no vocation or calling which
will bring them in the sums which they spend. It is men who can
spend $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000 a year, and who murder men to
cover it up. [Tremendous cheers and cries of "Sullivan! Sullivan!"
and "That's the talk!"] These are the men that you want to see
dance upon nothing [wild cheers and cries of "That's the talk! Hang

"Dr. Cronin's memory is secure with us; and if there are traitors
in the Irish ranks in America you will find them amongst the men
who have plundered your treasuries; you will find them amongst the
men who have done murder to cover embezzlement. [Cheers and cries
of "Sullivan, Sullivan!" and the "Triangle!"]

"When you find men who start rumors that Dr. Cronin's friends are
traitors to Ireland, if you put your hand on them you will find

specious and quiet agents who did quick and serviceable work from
various offices in Chicago to the telegraph which carried the word
to Canada that Dr. Cronin was seen there, when he was actually in
the sewer in Chicago, and you find a man close to the crime. And if
he had not been found the day that he was found you would have
heard of him next by some means on a steamer on the ocean; and by
and by you would have heard of him in Paris [great sensation and
nodding of numerous heads] and then you would have found the body
in the River Thames. [Cries of "Hear, hear," and "You're right
there."]

"It is well to be severe and just, but it is well to be careful
that in being severe and just the laws of the land in which w
