The Evidence In the Cronin Trial All in
and Arguments Conmenoed-Bad For
Coughlin. ~
CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-Atthe afternoon
session of the Cronin case yesterday
number of keepers and freQuenters of
saloons were examined in regard to the
opening of a certain saloon on the
night of the murder. Then the de-
tense rested, and States Attorney
Longenecker said:
IF the court please, We have some
evidence that has come to our knowl-
edge, about ten o'clock or a little be-
fore ten, which we have not had the
time to look into. Of course it will be
evidence in chief. probably. Not hav-
ing come to our knowledge until this
morning, we feel like asking the court
to let us introduce the evidence at this
late hour"
After some objection by Mr.. Forrest
the court called the States Attorney
into a private consultation, at the close
of which Judge Mcconnell said:
II take it that the evidence which
the States Attorney has ought to go
in the case. l have decided to allow it
to go in. 1t will not delay the opening
OF the case to the jury. If allow it to
go in l do not see that it ought to in
terfere with the opening of the address
to the jury, and if you, Mr.. Forrest, de-
sire time to answer it, l will give you
the time. 1t is matter which can be
disposed of at any time"
Police Officer Flynn was then called
to the stand, and in response to ques-
tiOnS testified as follows:
when Daniel Coughlin was arrested
1 was ordered by the lieutenant, Eli
oft, to take him to the Harrison street
station, which I did. When we got
there 1 searched him in Captain Bar
trans office. These two knives which
I have in my hand found in his pos
session. l took the knives and a re-
vOlver from COughlin, took them back
to headquarters, went upstairs to FL
liOtt's Office, and then took them down
to my box in headquarters and locked
them up. They were there until the
18th or 18th September, when 1
took them to the Fidelity vault, where
they have since remained. Lastnight l
called the attention of Captain Schuet-
tier to them at East avenue station. 1
did not disclose the fact that had
them to any one prosecuting the case.
Ex-Captain Bartram knew had the
knives, but up to last evening did not
call the attention of any one else to
them.'
This closed the direct examination,
and Mr.. Forrest moved to exclude the
evidence OH the ground that the knives
had been in the possession of the State
ever since COughlin's arrest. The mo-
ton was Overruled.
T. L. COnklin, the man with whom
DR.. CrOnin lived, was then called to
the stand. He identified the knives as
having been carried by DIR. CrOnin
when alive. The smaller one the wit
ness had himself carried for two years,
and he then gave it to DIR. CrOnin.
The larger one, the witness said, he
had found in the street. If they were
not DIR. Cronin's knives they looked
exactly like them. DIR. CrOnin carried
the smaller knife in his vest pocket.
This ended the evidence and States
Attorney Longenecker began his adj
dress to the jury.
