The Defense In the Cronin Case Prove
that They Were Not the Doctor's-
CHICAGO, Dee S.-Yesterday morning in
the Cronin trial the defense announced that
they were ready TO meet the sensational
evidence presented by the two knives found
in Dan Coughlin's pocket and declared by T.
7. Conklin TO 10 similar to two knives
carried by DR.. Cronin. The first witness was
August Lowenstein, a tailor. He swore
that ON April eth last Dan Coughlin bought
pair of trousers from him, which
had 10 he lengthened; that Coughlin waited
while the job was being done, and when
ready TO put the new trousers on he removed
the articles from the pockets of the old ones,
laying said articles ON u chair Among them
We're two Knives similar TO the ONES produced
by the prosecution. Loewenstein passed the
chair, and noticing the two knives asked
Coughlin TO give him one, but the detective
declined. Loewenstein had the sale OF the
trousers recorded in his book, but Coughlins
name was not in the entry. However, he
knew it was Coughlin who bought the
trousers that day
The other witness was Jacob I.oewenstin,
brother to August, and Coughlin's old part
ner on the detective force. He said the
knives were similar to two Coughlin carried
ana Positively Identified one OF them by the
shape OF the point Of one blade, which was
blunted by habit Coughlin had Of rubbing
1t on the sandstone in any wall he might be
standing near. Jacob said he was as sure II
was Coaghlin's knife as he was that one he
produced from his own pocket was his
lLoewenstein's - Coughlin had carried the two
knives to witness certain knowledge for
months previous 10 the murder.
This closed the testimony, and Judge Wing
then continued his address 10 the Jury.
