Judge Longcnecltcr
CHICAGO, Nov 2l.-Patriok Dinan, livery.
stable keeper and owner OF the famoss white
horse was the first witness in the Cronin case
to-day.
He testified that his horse was in dime mu.
scum iu this city and had been for three weekss
This, no said, was the same horse that ne had
let Coughlin's friend have on the evening OF the
murder
Then Louis Budenbender, OF Hoboken, N. j.,
was called TO the witness chair. He testified
that he was real estate agent and that
he had lived in Hobokcn for twenty
nine years with the exception OF the
period between August o. 1883, and
May 81, 1889, when he lived in Chicago. During
that time he lived near the Windsor Theater in
n fiat in which DR. Cronin lived with the Conk-
Inns. On the evening OF the murder the witness
was in Jeckels cigar store, opposite DIR. Gro.
Minis residence. He was positive that he was
in the cigar store ut o'clock, and may have re-
manned there until or o'clock. After he had
been there few minutes he noticed the horse
and buggy In the front OF Dr. Cronin's onice. lt
was an ordinary sidebar buggy, and had the top
up.
The witness then continued; 81 saw Dr..
Cronn and another man come from the house
and start to the buggy. Tho driver started Tor
the horse while the doctor started towards the
buggy. There was some man on the sidewalk
near the house line who called to DIR.
Cronin and attr cted his attention, for
the doctor turned, around but still
kept going towards the buggy. Then the driver
went 10 the horses head and unhitched the
horse, went to tho buggy and got in; and sat
on the west sidc then DR.. Cronn got in he
was talking to this man all the while, so it
seemed TO me. because 1 could not hear any
thing he said from that distance; then they
shifted their seats and this man got in front
OF the doctor, and then they sat down ana went
on"
The witness also testified shat DIR. Cronn
had what appeared to be small chest or box.
The witness was standing at the door OF this
cigar store looking at the horse for about hfteen
minutes and it before the men came down
and all the incidents of their departure.
what was the color OF that horseS" asked
the lawyer.
at was gray-a speckled gray, with dark legs.
The horse which ] saw yesterday at the dime
museum was not the horse that drove DIR.
Cronin away and did not resemhed it. The
horse saw yesterday is a white horse, but the
horse saw take Or. Cronin away on the night OF
Mag was specified gray. The legs OF the
horse that took DIR. Cronin were dark, whle tho
legs OF this horse arc white"
The witness was cross examined but nothing
| new elected.
Miscroscopical experts testified that there
was no means of certainly distinguishing human
| hair from that OF any other hair.
Court then adjourned until tomorrow.
| CHICAGO Nov. 22.-Budenbendcr the witness
| from Hobokcn, n. j., who yesterday testified
| TINT II was not n white horse which took DR..
Cronin away on May !, is under arrest.
After court adjourned this afternoon Officer
Lindvillc, with his prisoner, was at the corner
OF Clark and Michigan streets, going TO the
States Attorneys office, when Mr. Qualey, one
of the attorneys for the defense, and Mr.. For
rests clerk cndcavored TO take the prisoner
away. A crowd soon collected, but the prisoner
was safely landed in the States Attorneys
office AS he was ascending the steps on the
west side of the Criminal Court building Mr.
Qualey shouted 10 Budenbender that he would
| be taken care OF. and keep his mouth shut.
1T is stated that Quaey was al one time
Messenger Clerk in the office OF the Clerk ofthe
| Ohio Senate at Columbus.
At the opening OF the afternoon session Mr..
| Forrest for the defense, asked that the jury DO
excluded from the room. When this was done he
brought up the matter about the taking OF wit
ness Budcnbcndcr on o forthwith subpoena TO
the States Attorneys office during the courts
recess. A lengthy wrangle between counsel fol-
| lowed during which IL was shown that the de-
fensc had served - subpoena upon Mrs. Hoer-
tel TO get her to Mir Forests office TO question
hor and that She cTused 10 60 but finally did so
upon the representation that 1t was the States
Attorney who wished to see her.
The court then decided that the Budenbender
matter was not one of contempt OF court, but
expressed an opinion that it was an outrage on
the personal liberty of Budenbcnder to take
| him as II he prisoner on mere subpoena.
The court then adjourned for the day.
| CHICAGO Nov. 23.-State's Attorney Longe-
necker sat in his ofice this morning smiling and
satisfied with the result Of his and his co-labor-
ers' efforts in presenting the evidence against
the five suspects.
II think we have established case that has
not beon broken down in n single instance"
he said to reporter Those Clan-naGaeI
nlibls did not help the defendants in my opin-
ion, one whit, and on the rebuttal the State
will put some witnesses on the stand that will
to q great extent compromise their testimony"
Tne defense did not finish its case to-day os
| expected Kunze discovered last night that he
had several people on the South Side who could
| help him out TO some extent, and they VIII
| come in Monday and testify. Then the State
| will introduce its rcbuttal which Judge
| Longenecller said this morning would only oc-
cupy the balance of the Monday session. The
surrebuttal OF the defense is not very great,
and will be all in at the end of the morning
session OF Tuesday. On that afternoon or We'd
nesday morning the arguments will begin.
Distiller Lynch was not examined to-day, be-
ing Ill, and IL decided by the defense TO
forego his testimony.
