Startling tale of Pendley murder plot and Cronin attack
A. Pendley attempted to murder Cronin after Pendley confessed to killing Ponder. Cronin, a baggage firm worker, had earlier identified Pendley shadowing him and tried to stab him at Decatur and Butler streets with Ed Mathews intervening. Pendley’s 1898 police court case ended with a $10 fine, later paid by an unknown party, and Cronin now links Pendley to a broader murder plot including Bankston and Ponder.
