CHICAGO, October 23.-Chicsgoans are
eagerly awaiting the opening of the
Cronin trial tomorrow.
The usual sensational TumoTs are sfost
concerning the rate, and every body ia e1-
pectiDg startling developments when the
State gets to work in earnest
A man named Joseph Neville was
thrown out of the Criminal Court build
ing last evening and finally hauled away
and locked up on account of some very
iDjudicious speeches which were givtn
utterance by bin. He was slightly under
the infuercs of liquor aud became quite
boistsrOus, dscloring that he and his
friends were members of the Clan-na'Gaei
aud that Judge LoDgenecker would not
live to finish the prosecution OF the
men charged with the murder of DR.. Gro
min. He said that he did not value bis
own life, and that before a week past away
Judge Longenecker would disappear mys-
teriously. When he endeavOred to force
his way into the States Attorneys office
be was placed under arrest.
Neville was srrsigned in the Police
Court this morning He pleaded that he
wac drunk at the time be made the dis
turbance. and did not know what he was
doing He was fined $50 and the justice
remarked that that would keep him in the
House Of Correction until the CrOnin case
shall have been completed.
"Pye been reading good deal about tie
case" Neville said in his cell, land have
been up there good deal, but that is all
know about it"
SEVERAL SURPRISES IN STORE.
The Journal says that either in States
Attorney Longsnecker's opening speech in
the Oronin case tomorrow, or in the evil
denCe to be introduced later on there will
be several surprises. A weak point 10 the
case has always been thought to be the in-
ability of the State to show that DR..
Oronin actually entered the Carlson cottage
on the night Of the murder. Regarding
this the Journal says: "Tbe evidence
shows that DR.. CrOnin's entrance TO the
Carlson Cottage on the night OF tbs
murder will be conclusive. Judge Long
enecSer may not say 10 in his opening
speech, but at the right time be will prove
by good witnesses the following facts; o.
the night of May 4th two men had occa
sion 10 90 to Lskeview to arrange some
deal in real estate in which they were IN
terested. One of these is an Irish-AmeGi-
can and a member of the Clan-Na-Gael or
ganization. They were detained until a
late hour and stopped at the house of
friend to supper. They did not get through
until alter 8 O'Clock, and on their way
home they had to walk by the Carlson co.
tage. As they passed the sceneo the muT-
der they saw buggy drive up. 10 1t were
seat d two men anG, as they passed by, one
of the pedestrians said to the other as the
buggy drove past, "See that man on the
far side Of that buggy? That is DR.. Cron-
ip. the Irish Nationalist" As he spoke
the works, the buggy pulled mp up. 1t
stopped before the Carlson cottage. Ofon-
il rprung out and rushe0 up to the steps
as il he had been summoned on case OF
great emergency. The man who drove the
bussgy stepped ont and walked up couple
of steps TIE Clan-naGael pedestrian
was on the point OF hailiDg DE- Cronin and
speaking to him, bat 90 the latter appear
ed to be in such a hurry, he reirsined.
TIE door wss opened and DR.. Cronln
stepped inside. TIE man who drove him
there did not 20 inside. He turned around
from the foot Of the steps, jumped into the
buggy and drove away as fast as the
horse could take him. This will be sworn
to by the two citizens who Witnessed Il,
and will doubtless prove one OF the biggest
surprises of the csse."
O'sULLIvAN's CASE.
The part that O'Sullivan played in the
terrible drama Of the night of May will
also be revealed. There are no less than
three witnesses who will swear that O'Sul-
Ivan stood watch on the outside of the
cottage while the bloody work was being
done inside. The iceman was on sentry,
Burke, Coughlin, COoney aud another
man were committing the butchery inside.
Several witnesses will swear that Cough
lin. Burke and CoOney were in the cot
tsge AZ 9 o'clock that night and three more
will testify that at the sane time
O'Sullivan was walking up and down the
sidewalk. The manner in which Dan
Coughin VISA traced from the nelghbor-
hood of Clark street, Chicago avenue, TO
the Carlson Cottage on the night of the
murder will also be revealed. That Kunz
one of the five men on trial, was the man
who drove Coughlin to the scene Of the
tragedy, and that he got there about eight
O'Clock, there is ample evidence. Inns
