CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 12-There is much
bad blood between the counsel for the prose-
cution and those for the defense in the Gro
min case, which is not confined to the prin-
cipal counsel, but is shared also by their
juniors. There was a wrangle last night in
the clerks Office after the adjournment, in
which District Attorney Longnecker and
nearly came to blows.
WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
The dispute was about the custody Of ex-
hibitS which have been placed in evidence.
The counsel for the dsfeuse wished them
taken from the prosecuting attorney and
placed in the hands of the clerk This
wrangle broke out afresh in court this
morning without any apparent reason ex-
cept that Attorneys Forrest and Haynes
wished to emphasize distrust and dislike of
Prosecutor Longnecker. The matter was
finally dropped and testimony proceeded
with.
CRONINS VALlSE.
What was left of the yalise found in the
sewer with DR.. Cronin's effects was ex-
amined by the salesman who sold the fur
niture to the mysterious Simmonds, and
declared it to be identical with the valise
sold to Simmonds along with the furniture.
CRoNIN's ENTRY INTO THE COTTAGE.
Pauline Hoertel, a washerwoman, testified
that she passed the Carlson cottage between
and 9 o'clock on the night Of the murder
She saw a white horse drawing buggy in
which there were two men driven up to
the cottage. The larger man, who appeared
like gentleman, got out Of the buggy,
and, taking a sachel or box out of the
buggy, went up the steps and entered the
cottage. The driver of the white horse at
once turned around and drove back toward
Chicago.
SOUNDS OF sCUFFLE-
The gentleman knocked, and was at once
admitted to the cottage. As quick as the
door was closed Mrs. Hoertel heard sounds
as of blows and the fall of a heavy body,
and what sounded to her like some one call
ing, "Oh, God"
In the confusion Of sounds she also heard
the word, Jesus" Then in a very short
time everything became still. She said:
| 1t was as if somebody was fighting and
then as If something fell"
The witness said that this occurred soon
after o'clock at night. "The man who
went into the cottage shs continued,
went into the house unhesitatingly, and it
seemed to me as IL the door was open, or as if
| some one opened it for him as he came up
| the steps. When l turned from Ashland
| avenue and started east saw man stand
ing between the Carlson hGuse and the
cottage. He was inside the fence. There

the direct examination Of the witness and

BURKE's ARREST.
At the opening Of the afternoon ses-
| sion, Donald +. McKinnon, desk sergeant
| at the Central police station in Winnipeg,
| took the witness chair and told of the arrest
| of Burke and finding upon him $50 in
| money and ticket to Liverpool, via Mon
| treal, in the name Of w. J. Cooper.
PURCHASED SHIRTS.
Henry Plauslie, salesman In a shirt
| store, testified that on the morning after
! the murder a man came into the store and
| wanted to buy a shirt. He objected with
| some show of temper to permitting his
wrists to be measured, but bought a shirt,
| and shortly after came back with another
smaller man, who also bought shirt. Both
| kept their coats buttoned closely. The
| witness then pointed out Burke as the
| larger of the two men.

THE MAN WHO MOVED CRoNIN's TRIAL.
After some testi mony not entirely new
in relation to Kunze and Coughlin, Daniel
Brown, an ex-policeman and ex-member of
the Clan-na-Gael, took the stand. A long
wrangle ensued over this witness testi-
mony. States Attorney LoDgnecker said
that he proposed to show that in 1885 this
witness had moved the appointment of q
committee to try DR.. Cronin for treason for
having read q circular in his camp which
was issued without the authority of the ex-
ecutive; that a committee from the differ
ent camps was appointed; that Coughlin
was member of that committee, and that
Cronin was found guilty of treason and ex-
pelled.
THE LAWYERS IN TANGLE.
In the course of the talk the lawyers got
this matter tangled up with DR.. Cronin's
alleged trial for reading the report Of the
committee to try the Triangle-Sullivan
Feely and Boland-in Buffalo last year.
Finally Mr.. Forrest said: snow we are not
here, if the court please, to apologize for
Alex. Sullivan or to defend him. We have
no retainer for him, but we protest that the
prejudice which exists against him
should not be allowed to have weight
against our clients. / wish to
call your honor's attention TO the records
of Judge Bakers court which show that
Alexander Sullivan three days ago was
discharged from his $20, 900 bail by order Of
the court OF Cook county. After Alexander
Sullivan has been discharged by the other
court last week, protest against anything
against Alex. Sullivan being introduced
into this case. We have no defense to make
for any Triangle, and no attack TO make on
it, nor have we any apology 70 make for
any Triangle; our duty does not requ ire us
to do so. AL we ask is that Dan Coughlin
and Martin Burke lat the top OF his voice.
be tried for their sins, and not tried for the
sins Of Alexander Sullivan, and protest
against this whole scheme as nothing but an
