MEETING OF CAMP NO. 20.
On the night of the Sd of May there was
meeting of Camp No. 20. We will prove
that someone in the room inquired whether
that committee had reported. John F. Beggs
waved his hand and said: ssThat committee
10 to report to me, the senior guardian. The
noamp has nothing to do with that" That
INas the night before DR.. Cronin wass murder

Now, on the night Of the 4sh We show that
this trunk that was bought 81 Raxell,sS taken.
p No. III Clarke street suds' removed by
BURKE to the CARLSON cottage. was filed with
the body Of Dr.. Qronin and taken sway that
II was landed away up in Edgewood and af-
terward taken to the catch basin. There the
body was thrown into the catch-basin and
further on the trunk was thrown into the
street. And we shall prove that OSullivan
was in the neiehborhood.
On the sixth of May Martin Burke had
boz 'soldersd ct tinsmith's and would not
allow the timer to see the contents You
Will remember that DR.. Oronin's clothes were
all of his body at the time It war found.
Where were theyl Where that box is or
what became of it no one knows, but It ia an
important circumstance in this case
We will prove that Kunze was seen at the
Hat, and also near the cottage on Lincoln
avenue in company with Daniel Coughlin;
that he was drinking with Couahlln and
called him his friend; that he went away
with him, and that on the night Of the muir
der Kunze drove Coughlin to the cottage.
We will prove also that he and Coughlin
were at Peoria together and that Kunze,
while at work on the south side, said he
knew the doctor had been killed, and that
his body would never be found or something
of that sort. ss4-
The evening Of the fourth Burke was seen
at the Carlson cottage. That night. after
everything was removed, SO far as DIR. Cro-
min and the trunk were concerned, but sitter
the discovery Of the body and its identifca-
ton, Martin Burke disappeared. He left the
city. He travelled under an assumed name.
he was arrested at Winnipeg, Manitoba, on
this charge and extradited. He had ticket
purchased to 60 across the water to Liver
pool. Anyone can see that this was con-
spiracy.
In concluding Judge Longeneeker pointed
out more clearly the connection of the in
dicted persons with the conspiracy and
promised to present, as rapidly as possible,
witnesses to prove such connection.
Counsel for the defence then one by one
waived their right to make each an opening
address to the jury, and the taking of testi-
mony was begun.
THE FIRST WITNESS
called to the stand was ex-captain Francis
Villiers of tie Lave View police, in whose
district the murder was committed. He tes-
tilted that he knew DIR. Cronin in life, and
that as the body was conveyed from the
catch basin to the mor0ue he had identified
it az that of the doctor. Half dozen other
witnesses were called as to the identity of
the body.snd they were hardly cross examined
the defense apparently having decided to adj.
init that the body was that of the physician
At 4:40 O'Clock the court adjourned.
