Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin was a prominent Chicago physician
and a member of Clan-na-Gael, an American political organization formed to
promote Irish independence from British rule. He publicly accused the
Executive Board of Clan-na-Gael of embezzling funds. On May 4, 1889, Dr. Cronin
disappeared. Eighteen days later, his naked body was found wedged inside a
catch basin. He had been stabbed to death with an icepick.
