THE JURY’S VERDICT.
THE CRONIN CASE BROUGHT TO A CLOSE—
THE VERDICT “GUILTY.”
One of the most memorable trials in the
criminal history of America, closed at
Chicago Monday afternoon, when the jury
impanelled three months ago rendered it's
verdict in the Cronin ease. That the re
turn of this jury is a verdict, and not a
disagreement, is a source of much con
gratulation in the public mind, and,
although.there is naturally much division
of sentiment on the question of approval
of the verdict, the sense of relief which is
experienced at the final eohninntion of the
ease is unanimous.
On last Friday the ease was given to
the jury aud up to Monday morning no
verdict had been agreed upon. Rumors of
all kinds had been afloat Monday. How
ever erroneous it may be, the public ap
peared to have hastily arrived at the
Conclusion that there was to be a disa
greement.
As the court convened at 2 p. m. to re
ceive the verdict of the jury, there was u
momentary .silence as the vast audience
breatUrssTy awaited the first words ol
Judge McConnell as he mounted the ros
trum. The verdict was us follows:
•‘We, the jury, find the defendant,
John F. Boggs, not guilty. We, the
jury, find the defendant, John Iviinzo,
guilty of manslaughter^!* Charged in the
indictment, and fix his puiiishinent- at im
prisonment in the penitentiary for the
teem oj.lhvoe years. We, the jury, find
dH-igWuy Patrick
SWT Mifitin Burke, guilty ol
murder in the manner and form as charged
in the indictment, and fix the penalty at
imprisonment in the penitentiary for'the
form of their natural lives,” Simulta
neous with the announcement- of the ver
dict, Coughlin, O’Sullivan and Burke
turned deathly pale, while Iumze started
suddenly from his seat, and a moment
later dropped liis head upon Ins breast and
burst-into tears.
