nected with the CrOnin Murder.

Mrs. Hoertel, who heard the death struggle
in the Carlson cottage, heard the voice that
cried ''Oh, my God" also say the word "Jesus."
''The man who went into the cottage" she con-
tinued, ''went into the house unhesitatingly,
and it seemed to me as though the door was
open or as il some one opened it for him as he
came up the steps. When turned from Ash
land avenue and started east saw man stand
ing between the Carlson house and the cottage.
He was inside the fence. There was light
in front of the cottage and the night was bright
starlight"
At the opening of the afternoon session Dom
aid +. Mckinnon, desk sergeant at the CEN
trail police station in Winnipeg, took the wit
ness chair and told of the arrest of Martin
Burke and matters connected Herewith.
Henry Plaislie. salesman in a shirt store tes-
titled that on the morning after the murder a
man came into the store and wanted to buy
shirt. The witness continued: after measur-
ing his neck l went to the rear to get him
proper-szed shirt. and he said DO YOU think
that will be wide enough in the sleeves?' Il
will measure you l said. He objected. / said
You need not be ashamed for we have lots of
customers who come In here whose shirts are
not clean. and if your shirt is dirty You need
not be ashamed at all He said. That ain t
your business; won't do it, Then he took the
shirt put on the counter and paid Sl.25 and
went across the street, and after talking to an
other man there brought him over The Sec
ond fellow asked me what those colored shirts
were. He took one of the shirts and the other
fellow took a shirt also. The bigger man of the
two paid for both shirts. They both had their
coats buttoned up to the top"
The witness then pointed out Burke as the
larger of the two men.
Mr.. Ingham-'Look at the photograph now

Mr.. Forrest-'I object"
The court-"For what purpose do you intro
duce that"
Mr.. Ingham-"we introduce it to identify

dicted."
The COURT will let it go in"

Daniel Brown, ex-policeman and ex-member
| OF the Clan-na-Gael. was the subject of a long
argument. States Attorney Longenecker said
he proposed TO show that in 1886 this witness
had moved the appointment of a committee to
| try DIR. Cronin for treason for having read O
circular in his camp which was issued without
| authority OF the executive; that a committee
from the different camps was appointed; tina,
Coughlin was member of that committee. and
that Cronin was found guilty of treason and
/ expelled.
| Mr.. Forrest said: Snow, we are not here, il
| the court please, TO apologize for Alexander
I Sullivan or to defend him. We have no re-
| tainer for him, but we protest that the preiu
dice which exists against him should not be al.
| lowed to have weight against our clients.
wish to call your honor's attention (facing the
jury to the records Of Judge Bakers court
| which show that Alexander Sullivan three dayi
| ago was discharged from his SIC, 900 of bail by
the order of that court of Cook county All We
ask is that Dan Coughlin and Martin Burke bt
tried (st the top of his voce) for their SINS and
not tried for the sins of Alexander Sullivan
and protest against this whole scheme a,
| nothing but an attempt to connect my client,
| name with Alexander Sullivan"
After q very warm and irregular discussion
the court decided TO admit the testimony.
Kunze, the Cronin suspect, is ANNOYED by tn,
statements Of local papers that he has con
fessed. Yesterday he addressed a letter to ,
German paper denying that he knew anythin,
| about the Cronin case. He SAYS however:
Il am sure that Burke is one of the miscre
ants. saw and felt ii yesterday. When til,
clothes Of DR.. Cronin were brought into tn,
court room he trembled violently, which il ,
proof of his guilt The others were as white a
snow. thank God that have q clear con
science, have nobody TO fear and nothing 4
make me tremble."
