Hynes resumed his address to the jury
He continued his examination Of tht
defense Of Beggs, He said that the eyi
dence did not show ss claimed thai
Beggs was simply iu an attitude Of wait
ing and deprecating any discussion unit
the report Of the committee to try the
Triangle was made; 1t was not merely
that Dr. Cronin was premature in biz
report to his camp, Bsggs' objection
was pgaInst any uncovering Of the al,
legged frauds at all, He announced him
self q friend Of Alexander Sullivan and
he wanted the question Of the frauds
dropped. Mr.. Hynes added on this
pOint: "He insisted that there was no
use in opening old scores; that they
were the enemies OF Irish unity; that
the men behind him, the men who had
tue power as he says here or the men
who are the power, will In time realize
the motives oil those who are continually
creating disorder In their ranks and q
day Of punishment will come, am
very much discouraged at the present
outlook and hope no trouble will result.
He did not mean the trouble that had
been going on In the camp, the mere
discussion Of II, Trouble. had a more
significant meaning than the mere acri.
mony of discussion; than debate and
ventilation In maus mind OH the sub.

would not disclose any more thau his
anxiety that Mr.. spelman should take
some action"

C0ughlin and Beggs, Mr, Hynes said;

wreck DR.. Cronin; these men who were
determined 10 take his life aud silence
his tongue, know that they could go
around and breathe suspicious In the
ears OF men who they held the pOssibili-
ties OF murder on their parts aud this
was the reason why Coughlin said that
a confederate Of LeCuoa was amongst
u.s." Turning towards the prisoners, the
speaker continued: ~ do not know
how these men have been imposed up.
on II they were imposed uponj do not
know what Iillian0us means were em.
ployed for the purpose Of producing the
convictions in the minds OF some OF

British spy. We will never know the
history Of their purpose until some
putrid conscience shows forth its phos.
