States Attorney Longenecker
Opens in the Cronin Case,
Telling what it Is the state Expects to
Prove-very Plain Statements
Arc Made.

CHICAGO. Oct 24.-Promptly at 10 O'Clock
States Attorney Longenecker began his open
ing address to the jury After defining MURDER
conspiracy, what constituted doubt, the jury 3
general duty, etc, the States Attorney pro
ceeded TO speak of the motive for the CRIME,
and said that in order to show what that mo-
tive was It became necessary to examine into
the history in this country of an organization
known ms the United Brotherhood, commonly
called the Clan-na-Gael Before doing this nc
reminded the jury that they were not trying the
Clan-na Gael, but the prisoners at the bar.
Mr. Longeneckcr then proceeded 10 sketch
the history Of the Clan.na.Gael in this country
SAYING that II was made up of patriotic Irish
men; Irishmen who went into 1t for POLITICAL
effect, and Irishmen who went into IL for the
money there was in it, and that its object was
to free ireland by force of arms rs soon as
favorable opportunity should offer. He de-
cared that the Triangle was supreme; that the
oaths of the members made their commands
superior to the laws Of the Nation.
The States Attorney then spoke OF the
adoption of the triangle Us the symbol of the
Executive Board. The membership did not
know who constituted the Triangle, so secret
was 1t; but, nevertheless, they obeyed its or
ders and were sent on various special missions
to England IN the way of active work, and un-
der assumed names. Notwithstanding this Sc
crecy these men were betrayed by the Board to
said, are now in prison This was, he declared,
to enable the Board to steal the funds, and
when Mt last showing was made the Board
claimed that the Order owed them 1900, when
there was s250O0O in the treasury when they
took charge
At this point the States Attorney introduced
Dr. Cronin in connection with the Order, and
proceeded to sketch the history OF his fight
against the Triangle; told of Cronin's expul-
sion; the subsequent union Convention; the
trial of Sullivan, Feeley and Boland by secret
committee, of which DR.. Cronin was n member,
in Buffalo, last August.
"The committee was there in session for davs
and days" said Mr.. Longenecker, hearing
evidence. That evidence, as we have it, will
be introduced here. DR.. Cronln took the evil
dence fully, and witnesses and facts were pro-
duced to show what they had done in the old
country-what had been done across the water
under the direction of this Triangle all their
active work was shown. That was all being in
vestigated there; and the committee had not
made its report, but DR.. Cronin had taken full
notes of that trial committee. He had taken
down what each witness had said about certain
things"

THE WAR RENEWED.

Howard and Jennings Faction Ambushed
by tho Lewis Party, Ono Being Killed
and Six Badly Wounded.
PINEvILLE, KY, Oct. 24.-The Harlan
County trouble between the Law and
Order party of fifty men, commanded by
County Judge Lewis on one side and
Wills Howard and viii Jennings, two
tugitives from justice, with twenty men,
on the other, eliminated Tuesday in
fierce battle, in which, so far as reports
have reached here, one of Howards
gang by the name of Dean was killed,
Howard himself wounded in the neck,
| jennings right arm shot off, Spurlocks
face badly torn to pieces, another man
shot through the hip, and two
others badly wounded. Howard and
his party, supposing that Lewis
forces were quartered in the court
house, marched on the town. Lewis
force has been divided, one portion re-
naming in possession of the court house
and the other force detailed to surprise
Howard's party and intercept its march,
which was done near the crossing of
Poor Fork one mile below the town.
Lewis and his men opened fire from am
bush on Howard and his men, who, una
ware at this moment of Lewis, and sur
prised by the unexpected attack, were
quickly routed, but, rallying his men,
Howard advanced on the attacking
party, but being badly worsted, re-
treated and made rapid strides for tho
court house, which, by the appearance
of Lewis in the field Howard supposed
to be unoccupied. Once in the court
house, with innumerable friends in the
town to aid and supply him and his men,
Howard would have the other party at
his bidding and be able to dictate terms
of settlement such as he has exacted,
which are: a general amnesty for him
self and men and a full and complete
pardon for all the otfensss they have
committed. If their march on the town
were continued, as it is supposed, they
were received by the men in the court
house in war style, and bloody
struggle ensued. Pineville is filled with
terrified citizens of Harlan Court House,
who, with their families, fled the scene
of hostilities. They know all the per-
sons engaged in the trouble, and say
that Howard's attempt to seize the court
house will be bravely contested by the
thirty men in possession, and a bloody
encounter has in all probability before
this taken place. The recent outrages
of the Howard gang have led number
of the best citizens of the county who
have previously remained neu-
tral to identify themselves with the
Law and Order party to aid in breaking
up the reign of terror existing in Har-
Ian County. Among them may be men
toned the Middletons, Wards, PAGES,
Greens and Kellys, all brave and cour-
ageous men, whose action means death
to or surrender of the fugitive belliger-
ents. The Harlanites here believe that
this bold attempt of Howard and his
men will result in the killing or captur-
ing of the entire gang.

Movement In Richmond to SnppIant tho
Old "Aunties" in tho Care of Virginia
Children.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 25.-A call was
issued here yesterday with a novel OBJ
ieet. 1t proposes a combination of the
white citizens of Richmond to get white
nurses for their children instead of col
ored nurses. In this city and vicinity,
numbering about 100000 inhabitants,
there are not more than half
dozen white nurses. The call is
probably the outcome of Mahone's
organization of colored women to
force their husbands and male
friends to his support. This last move
has ox,ited the whites more than any
move yet made, and has also excited
some apprehensions on the part of citi-
zens whose little children are under the
charge of colored nurses. The call is
sued proposes that mass-meeting
of citizens shall be held for the pur-
pose of sending trusted agents to the
North to induce respectable white wom-
en- to come to Virginia to take the places
in white families now held by these
colored women.

Terrible Fyperjcnce of Shipwreclted uai1-
ors, Whose Hunger Transforms Thcm
Into CannibaIs.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 26.-Carl Graves,
fireman, and Ludwig I'oder, seaman,
two survivors of the crew of the steam-
ship Earnmoor, told last night story,
horrible in it's details, of the way they
sustained life by cannibalism for days.
Loder says: "rhe only food we had
for fifteen days in the boat was a fly
ing-fish and few raw small sea
BIRDS divided among eleven men.
On the sixteenth day out William
Davis q seaman, caught me by the throat
and made dash at my head with q
knife. He cut me on the right cheelt,
the scar from which still remains, as
you will see. He was told to kill me by
August Plagge, a fireman. When Davis
began to cut me some of my compan-
ions caught him, but others shouted:
Kill himl kill him We want some
thing to eat. We are starving 1t
seems that Plagge, Davis and others
in one end of the boat decided that
l should die, as / suppose, being
pretty fat, l looked inviting. Plagge
was placed on watch that night, but he
was missing next morning. No one saw
him go overheard. On the seventeenth
day William Robinson lay down to
sleep. When they tried to call him they
found him dead. 1t was determined to
eat his flesh, and William Wright, the
cook, was ordered to carve the body.
The first thing done was to smash in
Robinson's skull, and from the frac-
ture each one sucked the blood as long
as it would last, which was but a lit
tie while. Then the cook stripped the
flesh from the ribs. The next day this
flesh in strips was placed on top of the
water-tight compartments and dried in
the sun. After taking out Robinson's
liver, heart and other parts which
would furnish blood to be sucked,
they threw his mutilated body in
to the sea. Two days after Robin
sons death Third Engineer Thorn
as Hunt died. His body was
also cut up for food. "In about three
days" said Loder, ''the limbs and feet
of all began to swell, and several have
since broken out in ugly sores. We
think it is poison from the human flesh
and blood Both Graves and Loder say
that they have no recollection of the
taste of human flesh, so great was their
mental anguish at the time. The only
recollection of taking the food is feel
ing their own blood quicken as it coursed
through their veins.

BURROWS, THE OUTLAW.
A Determined Effort to BE Made to Cap
ture the Train RObber.

Determined Effort to BE Made to Cap
ture the Train Robbcr.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 2s.-About
twenty detectives in the employ of the
Southern Express Company arrived here
early yesterday morning, and left at
once for Blount County in search of
Rube Burrows, the train robber. About
half the detectives are Pinkerton men,
and the others are the regular detect
ives of the Express Company. Sew
eral private detectives from this
city went with them to aid in the
search for the noted outlaw. Burrows,
and the man with him, were making
their way North, and by this time are
probably many miles from the scene of
the bloody battle of Friday afternoon.
They were near a wild, thinly-settled
mountainous region, and it will be a
difficult matter to capture them in that
locality. There are many moonshiners
and other lawless characters in that part
of the State, who would probably aid the
outlaws in escaping. Efforts were made
to secure bloodhounds to trail the out
laws, but so far no dogs have been OBJ
tanned. Burrows has several acquaint-
ances in the northern part of Blount
Comfy, and it is thought they will as
siSt him If necessary.

THE SIEGE AT HARLAN.
The Town Abandoned by the
Women and Children.
Judge Lowis and His Supporters Fortified
in the urt-House, While the Town
Is Picketed by tho Howard Men.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 25.-A special
from Pineville, KY, says: No news Of
any further outbreak among the fight
ing factions at Harlan Courthouse has
reached here, as communication between
here and that point is practically cut
off. The latest intelligence was brought
in last night by a courier and was to the
effect that Howard and his men had re-
treated to Catterin's Creek, a point about
three miles from Harlan, The Howard
piclets had surrounded the town, to
| prevent any man from escaping. The
main body of Judge Lewis gang re-
mains fortified in the courthouse, and
the men find it extremely dangerous to
stir. The town has been almost entirely
deserted by the women and children,
who are allowed to go unmolested.
There has been number of confirma-
tions of the battle of Tuesday, and the
accounts do not differ materially from
that sent, except that it is now learned
that Wills Howard's wound was very
slight, and he is still in active command
of his followers. The man killed was
named Jim Dean. Burch Burlock,
Howard man, was shot through
the jaw with a Winchester and
badly wounded. viii Jennings
an uncle of Howard, was shot through
She hand. A man whose name could not
be learned was fatally shot in the abdo-
men. There were three or four others
of the Howard gang wounded more or
less seriously. Mr.. Emile Helburn, of
Louisville, who has been living at Har-
Ian for several months, reached hero
last night. He has been ill, and was
barely able, with the assistance of
friends, to get away. He says that he
was warned of the approaching trouble
last Sunday, and got away before the
outbreak. He says Wills Howard has
large circle of sympathizers, and could
command the support of several hun
dred men. There are number of
conflicting reports regarding the size of
the Howard gang. A preacher from
there reached here yesterday, and said
that he visited Howard's camp on the
evening before the battle and could
count only fifteen men. Others
say that he has at least forty well-armed
followers. 1t is thought that Judge
Lewis is simply used as a tool by the
Turner faction, and the real trouble is
the desire on the part of the Turner's to
exterminate Howard and his faction.
The war may last indefinitely, as it now
appears to have developed into regular
siege.

TWO MORE VICTIMS.
Tho Never-Ending Hatfleld-M cCoy
Feud.
Prisoners Belonging to the Latter Faction
Lynchcd-Taken From jail While
Awaiting Trial for Murder.


HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct. 2s.-Infor-
nation was brought by courier from
Hamilton, Lincoln County, that about
midnight Friday mob surrounded the
Lincoln County Jail, forced an entrance
after short resistance by the author
ities, took two of the prisoners, Green
Mccoy and Milton Haley, and hung
them to tree short distance from the
Jail building. Haley and Mccoy are
natives of kentucky, and are allied to
the Mccoy faction of outlaws, whose
murderous feud with the Hatfelds is
generally familiar to the public. Mccoy
was engaged in shooting scrape with
Paris Brumfield about a year ago, and
about month ago he, in company with
Haley, ambushed and attempted to MUIR
der Brumfeld and his wife. The shoot
ing occurred on Sunday night, and
both victims were badly wounded, Mrs.
Brumfield being shot in the breast and
her husband in the leg. For time it
was thought the woman would die, but
she finally recovered. Mccoy and Haley
escaped to Kentucky, but not before
they had made two more attempts at
one of which a man named Adkins was
wounded. The two would-be murderers
were arrested at Ben Post-of1ice, Martin
County, KY, and were confined in Jail
there. Friday they were locked up in
the Lincoln County West Virginia) Jail,
and in the absence of definite informa-
tion it is supposed they were lynched by
some of the Hatfield sympathiZefs.

SUPPORTING LEWIS.
Harlan's Judge Still in Possession--Orit
of the Trouble.

Harlan's Judge Still in Possession--OrlgIn
of the Trouble.
LOUISVILLE, Oct 2s.-Judge Lewis is
in possession of Harlan Courthouse,
and his numbers are constantly increas-
ing. He has sixty-five well-armed men,
and is confident of capturing Howard
and his party. An. account of the feud
has been received here, giving the
stories of both sides. The Howards
claim that the trouble originated in
the killing in self-defense of Robert Tur-
ner in 1882, and that Wilson Howard,
under Indictment for killing William
Turner in the quarrel ensuing, can
not get fair trial, and therefore resists
arrest. The Turner's, represented by
Judge Lewis, claim that Robert and
William Turner were murdered without
provocation, and Wilson Howard must
be brought to trial. The Howards
greatly outnumber the Turner's, and can
secure justice at least. Judge Lewis is
not a relative of the Turner's, and was
drawn into the fight only in the dis.
charge of his duty.

Washtub EXPLOSION.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-While preparing
for clothes washing this morning, VIM.
Bailey poured a cup of benzine into a
tub of boiling water, producing an ex-
plosion which wrecked the kitchen and
startled the neighborhood. The explo-
sion resulted from the fact that the va
por given off by the benzine was much
lighter than the vapor of the hot water,
and the quick expansion of the benzine
vapor caused the explosion. Mr.. Bailey
was shockingly burned, but his wife es-
caped.
