Travis & Vic's Drunken Horror Adventures: Year They Cancelled St. Patrick's Day

In May 1889, Dr. Patrick Cronin had been summoned from his surgery on an emergency. A man had been injured at Patrick O'Sullivan's icehouse in Lake View and Dr. Cronin was called to help. However, the call for aid turned out to be a ruse. Cronin was lured to an isolated cottage where he was brutally murdered and his naked and beaten body stuffed into a sewer where it was discovered several weeks later. The police investigation, and subsequent murder trial, captivated the press and public both in Chicago and beyond. It soon became apparent that Cronin's murder was the result of an internal dispute within Clan na Gael and fingers were quick to point at Alexander Sullivan, the leader of the Clan. Sullivan was never charged with Cronin's murder but the press coverage surrounding the case forced Clan na Gael and its activities into the limelight. We talk about this and so much more on this week's edition of Travis and Vic's Drunken Horror Adventures!
