ccmber-Regg will get on.

oHIcAoo, Nov, 27,-The States Attor
nsy's office presented a scene Of actiyit!
to-day when a reporter for the Associat
ed Press visited the States Attorney Il
inquire as to the arrangement agreed
upon between counsel as to the order ar
guuents to the jury should be made
From reliable sources, 1t may be said
that the order Of argument, as announc'
ed by Judge Mcconnell, will be aBNtol
lows; States Attorney Longenecker will
open the case for the prosecution and
deal to the jury the evidence sdduced
to convict the prisoners, and will review
the alibl set up for the defense. Judge
Wing will open for the defense and
make an exhaustive analysis Of all the
evidence adduced from his standpoint,
Mr., Forrest stating that he will leave no
point untouched upon,
Mr.. Ingram will follow with an analy-
els Of the testimony on behalf Of the
State and that adducsd on behalfoi the
defendants tending to show an alibl.
He will be followed by Mr.. Donahue,
who Will conane his remarks principally
to O'Sulliyan's alleged connection with
tho case, and also endeayor to clear
Runze, who Is regardeu by counsel for
the defense as tramp, who was got
into the case, but really has no business
there"
Mr.. Hynes, who, It will be remem-
bered, cross-eIamined the medical ex-
perts and several OF the Witnesses from
Camp 20, both for the prosecution and
defense, will follow Mr., Donahue with
an exhaustive argument consuming
probably couple OF days.
Mr.. Foster will probably follow Mr..
Hynes in an argument on behalf Of his
client Beggs, after which Mr.. Forrest
will review the entire case for the de.
tense, excepting Deggs, and II Is thought
likely his argument will consume three
days.
Luther Latin Mills will then reply
upon the whole case in an argument in
which he will, like his predeces-
sor, review the entire case aS q
unit, and will probably consume two
days In his argument. Judge MCCon-
nel's charge will follow, and the indica.
tons are that the jury will not have the
case In charge before Tuesday the 10th
or Wednesday the llth Of December.
In the arguments on behalf OF the
State the alleged antagonism and bitter
feeling shown by the deiendants toward
DR.. Cronin, will be traced buck to Feb.
ruary s, on which day, at u meeting OF
Camp 20 Of the Cian.na.Gae Capt.
Thomas 0'Connor testified that he got
up In the meeting and stated that he
had heard IN another camp a minority
report OF the committee appointed to try
the old executive committee, known AZ
the triangle, in which 1t was distinctly
stated that the funds OF the United
Brotherhood, to the amount OF 100000,
had been embezz ed by the old execu-
tive triangle; that It's support had been
sent from this country to England by
tho executive, and notification given 10
the British authority, which resulted
in the patrol being placed behind the
prison bars in the county JUL, aud that
iustead Of looking for spies, which it was
alleged d'existed In their Brotherhood be-.
sides LeUaron, they had better inyesti.
gate closely the Triangle.
Mr.. Fosters defense will be unques-
tionably that the State has offered no
proof TO inplicate his client (Beggs) in
any conspiracy relative to the death Of
Dr.. Cronin or otherwise, and that there
10 an inadequacy Of proof to hold him.
Mr.. Foster has taken no exceptions ~
the rulings Of the court all through the
case and has made no objection to any
evidence given, which will place his
client in very unenviable position
should the jury convict From the line
Of Alr. Forests defense Of the other
prisoners, II Is evident they will argue
TO the Jury that not sufficient evidence
has been a1duCed to show that their
clients we're implicated In the crime. In
short they will claim an allbl. The
speeches Of the respective counsel will
doubtless be read with the deepest In.
