 May 1.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-At the Cronin trial today the first witness was Mrs. Pauline Heertel, the woman who created a sensation in her testimony for the prosecution by tell ing how she saw man whose description tailed with that of Dr. Cronin enter the Carlson cottage on the night of the murder. She was recalled for further cross-examina- tion. She testified that her husband put a new lock on the door of their house previous to May 4, the day of the murder, in order to keep her out.
 The next witness was August Salzman. He testified that he helped Hoertel put the new lock on tho door after May Sth. Wit ness had worked at five or six places during the past two years, but could not remember the names of any of them, or when he began or quit work at any place.
 John Swift, policeman, was recalled and corrected his testimony, that it was Monday morning, the 9th of May, when he issued the order to find out what horse went out from the livery stable.
 Jacob Lowenstein, who was partner of Coughlin's on the police force from 1857 to the time witness was discharged, gave con- siderable testimony tending to show the en- mity which existed between John O. Gar rity one of the witnesses for the prosecution, and Coughlin.
 At the opening of court this afternoon At- torney Forest requested that the jury be asked to retire. This done he said he de sired to bring to the notice of the court the abuse to which one of his witnesses had been subjected by efieers for the State. He then related that Budenbender, his witness, had been arrested on subpoena during the noon recess: that violence had been used and that the affair was contempt of court. Budenbender then took the stand and told his story. He said he was asked to accompany an officer to the States attorneys office, but explained that as he had already agreed to be at court at 3 o'clock this afternoon he prefer- red to wait and go then. This did not suit the officer and he grabbed the witness and threatened to call 8 patrol wagon. Rather than ride in the wagon, the witness said he would go, and did start. Just before the States attorney's office was reached, howev- CT, Attorney Dudley. Forests partner, came up, and, grabbing hold of him, told him not to go. The officer sought to pull one way and the attorney another, and | between both the witness came near chok. | ing, At this juncture another officer came up and pulling Dudley off the whole party l went to the States attorneys office. The l State's attorney was not in his office, how.
 ever, and Budsnbender was permitted to de. part. Officer Lindell, who served the sum.
 mons, then told his story to the effect tha.
 Budenbender was agreeable to the service and
 was coming along of his own free will until
 Dudley interfered and began to kick and thump the officer.
 Judge Mcconnell said he thought the ar.
 rest of Budenbender was not contempt, bu
 the result of ignorance on part of the officer
 who imagined the subpoena should be served
 as warrant. He characterized the affair a
 an outrage, but thought it best to let it drop
 The jary was then recalled, but as no wit
 nessss were on hand court was adjourned un
 til tomorrow.
 It was rumored about the criminal cour
 building today that the defence would ex plain away the blood in the Carlson cottag by the testimony of two private detectives who would swear that prize fight was hell in the cottage on or about May 4th Tn testimony would also, it was said, prove tha . Burke was present at the time, acting g master of ceremonies, and that several other : witnessed the bloody affair.
