Klare, timer, estified to having soldereG
| up a galvanized iron box, 14x26 inches, fol
Burke two days after the murder. Burke
objected to the witness removing the cord
from the box which held the top on. In
course Of the conversation Burke said
Cronin was spy and ought to b. killed.
There is a report that Dr. Cronin's
watch and shoes were found this afternoon
ia a Lake View sewer.
The states attorney endeavored with.
out success to show by Walsh's testimony
that Burke was without money OF his own
in Joliet, but that shortly afterwards he
was in Winnipeg with plenty OF money,
with a ticket for Europe, and able to pay
counsel to fight his extradition. Joseph
O'Byrne, senior guardian OF q Cro-
min camp OF Clan Ma Gael, told
about q conversation he had with Beggs
and others two or three days after Cronin's 3
disappearance, Beggs expressed an opin-
ion that Cronin would turn up all right,
and Dennis Ward, who was with him, said
he thought Cronin had run away with
some woman.
Maurice Morris, friend OF Cronin's, tes-
titled as to a conversation had with Dennis
Ward in the presence of Beggs. Ward as.
serted Cronin had gone away with q
woman, whereat Morris got mad and said
emphatically that CroDin had been mur-
dered and by people in this city. Reggs

we are talking about"

Reggs' reference to ''inner circle" meant,

objected to it all as hearsay and inadmis-

Foster, counsel for Beggs, was willing it

Cronin's clothes and surgical instruments

then exhibited, and the sewer cleaner told
about finding them. Mrs. Conklin.. at
whose house Cronin lived. identified the
clothes and other articles as Cronin's
property.
After the adjournment OF the court this
afternoon there was An alteration between
Forrest OF the defense and Mr..
Hynes of the counsel for state, in which
some bitter personalities were exchanged.
States Attorney I.ongnecker wanted
Cronin's clothes, which were found in the
sewer, handed into the custody OF Police
Captain Schuettler for cleaning and deodo-
'izing, as the tairff Of sewer WAS very per-
,eptibIe in the court room. Forrest OBJ
ected to Schuettler having them and in
sisted the police captain was not the proper
person; that they should be placed in
,hat GO OF the clerk OF the court. Forests
about Schusttler were taken
up by Hynes and a personal dispute oc-
cured in which both gentlemen abused

malt in proceeding.
