DOCTORS TESTIFY
But AFt Unable to Tell Just What Caused
CPeliA's Death.
The Defense Closely Question Them
Regarding the Wounds, whether In-
flictsd Before or After Death.

CiucAeo, Oct. %.
The taking Of evidence in the Cronin case
vas resumed this morning. The prosecution
continued the presentation of witnesses
whose only testimony was as to the identid-
cation of the body found in the catch basin
as that of DIR. Cronin.
At the afternoon session of the Cronin
trial, DIR. Egbert gave the facts revealed BY
the autopsy he made upon the body the DAY
following its discovery He gave as his
opinion that death resulted from wounds
In his judgment the doctor was killed within
three hours after having eaten. The cross
examination developed that none of the
wounds IN the corpse would necessarily
cause death. 1t was impossible the doctor
admitted, to say whether the wounds were
Inflicted before or after death. This ques-
ton was put 10 DR.. Egbert: lis ii not
scientifically true that you physicians found
no evidences in the body certain and conelu-
sive of the form of deathg" DR.. Egbert re-
piled, That is true" DIR. Egbert was of
the opinion that death occurred through the
excessive loss of blood, but there was no
certainty of it, he said.
DIR. Charles W. Parkins who assisted AT
the post mortem testified that in his opinion
death cid not ensue from blood letting but
from conclusion of the brain. The latter
organ was too decomposed to afford any
information.

TEXAN SENTIMENTS
In Favor OF Congressman Reed for
Speaker.
TEL Paso Texas Daily Herald. I

TEL Paso (Texas) Daily Herald.
The opinion is gaining ground rapidly that
Congressman Reed of Maine will be the next
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
While under ordinary circumstances the
West would naturally prefer western man
for this important position, it must be borne
in mind that the coming session Of Congress
will be one of unusual importance and will be
characterized by strong partisan feeling
on both sides The democrats. although
slightly in the minority, will be sufficiently
strong to place serious obstructions upon
the workings of congress. This they have
already threatened to do by the process com
monty called flibustering Upon the speak
er devolves to great extent the success or
defsat of these maneuvers, If he is a man
of indecision they are very apt to prove sue
eessful. while on the other hand if he Is
prompt and decisive in his rulings, is a man
of commanding voice and presence and a
good speaker, the chances are that he will be
able to defeat the object Of the filibusters
The last named qualities are possessed by
MIR. Reed in an unusual degree. As speak
er he is second TO none. He is a man Of
ready perception and an iron will With
Mr.. Reed rs speaker of the house. tha, loud
mouthed brsggart. Roger q. Mills, and other
democrats of his stripe will find that the
majority does rule after all.
