About this book
In Chicago, a physician's disappearance becomes the starting point for an investigation that reaches the courtroom and draws international attention. Henry M. Hunt assembles the story of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin's death, the search for evidence, and the proceedings against those accused. His preface explains the need for a continuous account after months of scattered newspaper reports, giving this work the form of a documented case history.
The chapters move through witness accounts, competing explanations, official inquiries, and arguments from both sides of the trial. A courtroom passage shows the accused being identified, lawyers challenging the prosecution's arrangements, and the difficult work of selecting a jury. Readers interested in legal history and public reactions to crime can follow how evidence and allegations were presented in a widely discussed Chicago case of 1889.
