The Course Of the CrOnin Defense.

The defense in the Cronin case have q
hard hill to climb, and the terrific bur
den of proof against them is heavy
load to carry. They have not even the
discretion as to which course to take,
but must follow the only one left open
te them the elder Weller's ''helleyby''
route. They may be able to stumble
along on this course with some show of
success, because the prosecution has
not produced witness to testify that
the defendants murdered DR.. Cronin,
nor even that any one murdered him
1t has failed to catch any of the de-
PENDANTS on the hook of directyevidence
to change the figure, but it has them all
apparently so safe in the net that at this
writing there is no way of escape in
view
The states evidence is all in and may
readily be summed up. On the night of
May DR.. Cronin was seen by several
people. He was never seen again by his
friends. That evening he was summoned
by man driving white horse and rep
resenting himself as an emissary of
O'Sullivan. the ice man. The driver has
never been heard from, but the livery
man let him have the white horse and
the rig on recommendation of Coughlin,
at that time detective. A trunk stained
with blood was found on the road to the
Carlson cottage. 1t was identified rs the
one sold Simonds. who furnished the
cottage. Seventeen days later Cronin's s
body was discovered not far away in
catch basin.
The Carlson cottage was rented mys-
teriously by Martin Burke under an as
sumed name, not as a home, but for
few days. 1t must have been rented for
some occasion. What was the occasion?
The cottage was abandoned directly
after May 4. Blood stains marked the
floor; an attempt to blot them out With
paint failing,to obliterate them Burke,
who rented tho cottage, was arrested at
Winnipeg with ticket to Liverpool in his
fS's~SSioA' A S0lSuCl puICu6SeO al the
same time as the trunk was missing. 1t
was found week or so ago in a sewer,
along with clothes of Dr. Cronin, blood
stained, and with his surgical instru-
ments
On the night of May a washwoman
passing by the Carlson cottage saw a
carriage and white horse draw up in
front of it and heavy man get out, take
small satchel or medicine case, enter
the cottage and then she heard someone
cry 20. God; o. Jesus and then some
thing fall heavily. On the same evening
a milkman saw Kunze and Coughlin
drive to the cottage.
This is the evidence. DIR. Cronin was
murdered at the Carlson cottage Nav 4.
Coughlin, Burke and O'SuIlivan must
have been accomplices of the murder.
Against Kunze the evidence is also
strong. The plan of the defense win be
looked for with interest. And if the de.
iendants are all found guilty and hanged.
justice Will not yet be done. They were
instruments of bigger men. Who were
