1B.H02.0H4 barrels in quantity and *•».
47b,41<> in value.

’l'|, - ntence was nominally for vag
rancy but in realitv was to afford a b st
oi Cronin's sanity before passing' up
on i he quest ion w hether lie ought to
go to an asy him for a while.
Cronin is a middle-aged man w ho has
been around Seward for some lime, lie
has be i: chiefly occupied in discharg
in'. Me functions incumbent upon an
as-dslant to restaurant cooks, of which
dishwashing- is the most important and
ii i• ii.■ nt> t te most onerous. These re
sponsibilities. coupled wit it the task »»t
consuming btf'e quantities ol hootch,
preyed upon Cronin's mind until lie
earned for a larger He'd oi endeavor,
lie linaliy made a selection and last
Saturday morning' walked into the
office of District Attorney Clegg,where
he began to give orders to the janitor,
who happened just then to lie the sole
occupant. He said:
••You want to get around earlier
than this. \\ e can t have you stirring
up a dust when it istimetodo business
wit n our clients."
••What have you gfot to do with it?"
inquired tiie astonish* d janitor.
"i have got a whole lot to do witii
it. and you don't want to get sassy,
responded Mr. Cronin. "I'm Mr.
Clegg's partner, and you'll get tired if
you don’t brace up."
The janitor lied in consternation as
as he thought lie saw a crazy gleam in
tho eye of Mr. Clegg's new partner.
A little later Mr. Clegg arrived and
found Cronin sitting' in the best office
chair, with his tort on the table just
like a man with a license to practice
law. Cronin nodded politely to the
now -comer and inquired:
-What can I do for you? Mr. Clegg
isn’t in but I'm bis partner and I can
tend to your business."
•*1 think I'll come back and see Mr.
Clegg personally, as l happen to be
well acquainted with him." replied the
district attorney , sizing up his visitor.
Then he went out and directed Deputy
Marshal Wyorant to gather in Cronin
as a crazy man. which was done.
At the insanity inquest yesterday
Cronin made it clear that the wheels
insid* Ins cranium needed oiling, lie
talked learnedly of mind reading and
expressed the belief that lie had the
subject Hourly mastered. Ih* will he
given a try-out in jail to see if lie can
be restored to a normal state by separ
ation from liquor, without going to an
asy him.
