OF the Cronin trial Thursday In aninter-
view with the witness on May IS O'Sulli-
van refused % give TIE names of the men
who were present at the meeting In
Cooks Hall, claiming that the terms
Of the Clan ma Gael oath pre-
vented him making such disclos-
ures he also denied that he was
a Clan-na-Gael, bat admitted his mem
bership in the Irish National Brother
hood, which is only another name for
the order. Captain Schaack, continuing
his examination OF the suspect, drew re-
luctant admissions from ham that he had
telephoned Coughlin in April 70
come 20 his house for the pur-
pose Of discussing something
about Kunze and a horse Being
pressed still more vigorously by Captain
Schaack O'Sullivan said he had desired
TO see Coughlin about delivering ice at
the latter's house, but Kunze's associa-
tion with the transaction and the
mystery surrounding the horse were
left unexplained.

witness, and his appearance on the stand
caused ripple of excitement, il having
been understood that he would have
something sensational to reveal He
was first asked about the custody Of tho
trunk since il was given 70
the coroner. He said il had
been in his sole care until delivered
TO the States Attorney. This was also
true regarding the lock and key. The
chief identified suspect Burke as the
Burke he had first seen in the Winnipeg
Jail, and the direct examination ended,
much TO the disappointment of the spec
tators. Attorney Wing tried to bring
out what the chief knew about his cli-
ent, Coughlin, but the Judge refused to
permit him, as Coughlin had not been
mentioned in the direct.

his connection with the case on which
he had been working since the begin
ming. He first heard of the Carlson cot
tage on the night Of May %, the day tho

found there was a piece of blood
stained soap on which was some

to the jury an Identification mark made
on it by him last May. Before the con-
clusion of the cross-examinaion court
