Andrew Anderson, . liVerynan. sWore
that TIC opening q Nlemsn's saloon oo-
CURED on the night q May and that
large crowd Was present Ii Was this
night the Hylsnds swore 20 going there
with 0Sulliy2n and that no one but tbs
bartender Was there.
Policeman Smith told Of having, by
direction OF the State, examined the
files of ali the daily papers and that not
4 word was said about CougLlin being
connected with the ease before May 25.
This was in view Of COughLn's alibi
witness tesufying 10 their recollection
Of the occurrences Of May being fresh
ened because of their having seen
Coughlin's name in the papers the week
following the murder
Edward Bailey. editor OF the Lake
View Record, took the chair 10 declare
that he had never q. .lvered O'Sutllvan's
cards 10 am one, and al the conclusion
OF his testimony States Attorney
Longenecker arose and said: This
closes the case oi the people"
With the understanding that one or
two witnesses for the defense would be
heard on reconvoning the court ad-
journed 70 Friday morning. The long
recess is due 20 the illness Of little
child Of Juror North
After the hearing % 4 few witnesses on
Friday States Attorney Longenecker
will then begin his address 10 the jury.
He will be followed by Judge Wing,
who will make an exhaustive review for
the defense. The arrangements for the
other speeches are not yet perfected.
Mr. Mills will make the last speech for
the State. The speeches will occupy
about eight days. That would send the
case to the jury week from Saturday
night
From now on TO the end Of the trial
the precautions that will be taken 70 pre-
vent any outbreak in the courtroom viii
exceed those employed in the excitement
of the Anarchist trial. Special bailiffs
will guard the doors leading 10 the street
and those entering 10 the courtroom,
and no ladies will be admitted. No one
will be admitted 10 the courtroom except
upon presentation Of a pass signed by the
proper authorities, ard these will be is
sued only to people that are we'll known.
These precautions have been adopted as
result Of the high feeling among the
antagonistic Irish elements and the fear
that some of the speeches in the sum
ming up might provoke trouble in an
Indiscriminate audience.
1t also leaks out that the residence OF
a prominent ex-member of the triangle,
which is situated but few blocks
from the Chicago avenue police sta
ton, is being watched by a detective
with facilities for communicating with
headquarters in few moments. This
espionage has been ordered from the fact
that the authorities have good reasons for
believing that a concerted attack upon
tle residence in question, after the style
Of wild Western methods, might be made
at any time. That the element in sym
pathy with the policy of the murdered
physician is more than ever determined
that his taking of shall be avenged was
demonstrated by the immense turnout at
Battery ID on Saturday night and at which
time the speeches delivered were more
personal and bitterly denunciatory o.
the triangle than ever before. There is
no denying the fact that as the trial APP
proaches its conclusion the feeling on
both sides increases in intensity, and
should its outcome be unfavorable 20 the
prosecution there is no telling the form
in which this feeling might manifest
itself At any rate the authorities, be-
lieving in the supremacy OF the law,
have evidently thought it well 70 take
early precautions against any attempt
on the part of the masses 70 take the
law into their own hands
