 CHICAGO, Nov. s9.-At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning the State called Bernard F. Carberry in rebuttal.

 At the conclusion of the examination of this witness the sur-rebuttal on behalf of the defendants was begun. A number of witt nesses were called to the stand to strengthen the alibi for Burke and all gave testimony in regard to O'Maliey's attendance of the open- ing of a saloon on the west side on May 4th.

 At the afternoon session number of other keepers and frequenters of saloons were sx- aminsd in regard to the opening of certain saloon on the night of the murder. Then the defense rested. States Attorney Longenecker then asked to be permitted to present some important testimony which had been brought to his netice this morning. The defense ob. jeotsd, but the court decided to admit the evidence. Police Offoer Bartholomew Flynn was then called to the stand and testified as follows:

When we rot there searched him and found the two knives which have in my hand and @ revolver. took the knives and looked them up in my box in headquarters. They were there until September 16 or IT when took them over to the Fidelity vault where they have since remained. Last night l called the attention of Captain Schuettler to them at East Chicago Avenue station. l took them to him. I did not disclose the fact that had them to any one prosecuting l the case.
 | This closed the direct examination, and | MT. Forrest moved to exclude the evidence on the ground that the knives had been in | the possession of the State ever since Cough lins arrest. The motion was overruled. . | In cross examination witness did not tell the chief about the knives because 1t did not occur to him that it was Q matter of any con- | sequence.

 which they were admitted in evidence. Two | more witnesses were examined as to matters connected with the saloon opening on the night of May 4. This ended the evldence
 and States Attorney Longenseker began hii

 versational manner, emphasized at times by | little earnest feeling, but with no attempt
 at oratory. He said he would not make thu
