ank Murray induced
him to get into a buggy and go with him. Frank Murray says that
when he talked about the contract, this man, who had deliberately
planned for the life of Dr. Cronin, told him that he happened to
meet Justice Mahoney down town when he made the contract.

"It went on; people were looking in every direction; some thought
that Dr. Cronin, was alive, and others that he was dead. The

catch basin where the body lay--hunting for the body that was in
the trunk. On the morning of the 6th, when the newspapers--for
which my friend Donahoe has such contempt--published the fact that
a white horse had driven Dr. Cronin away, the chief of police, when
this was brought to his attention, gave notice to the entire force
to see who had hired a white horse on the 4th of May. A policeman
appears at Dinan's stable and asked if he had a white horse out,
and he said 'yes,' and he goes to Chicago Avenue Station and sees
