CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The states at
tOrney's Office presented d scene of ac-
tivlty to-day when reporter for the
Associated Press visited the states at
tUrlIey to inquire as to the arrangement
agreed upon between counsel as to the
order in which the arguments to the
jury should be made. The states at
tOrney was sitting at a table on which
were piled the various books of teStl-
mony taken during the trial. numbering
i'm the neighborh0Od of 5000 PAGES, and
at table close by sat his stenographer,
while al his right hand sat Mr.. Mills and
Kickham Scanlan. The states attorney
was too deeply engaged in anaIyZing :lle
evidence to talk at any length. but from
reliable sources it may be said that the
order of argument as announced by
Judge Mcconnell on Friday morning
will be as follows: States Attorney
LOngenecker will open the case for the
prosecution. and detail to the jury the
evidence adduced for the
CONVICTION OF THE PRISONERS,
and will review the aiibi Set uD for the
defense. He Is carefully preparing his
argument which he anticipates will cOn-
sumo an entire day. and i'm view of the
fact that Mr.. Forrest proposes to put
several witnesses on the stand on Fri
day morning to prove that William
COughlln, the salOOnkeeper, with Dam
ahy on The night of May 4. as stated by
those persons in the defense, and by
that means will seek to impeach the
testimony of the driver of the carriage,
there Is probability that the arguments
will not commence before Saturday
morning, in which event Judge Long
pneckpr will consume the entire day on
Saturday. Judge Wing will open the
case for the defense amt make an eX-
haustive analysis of all the evidence ad-
duced from his standpoint. Mr.. Forrest
stating that he will leave no point un-
touched upon in his address to the
Jury. Mr.. lngham will follow with an
analysis of the testimony on behalf of
the state and also of that adj
duced on behalf of the defend-
ants tending to show an ali5i.
He will be followed by Mr.. Donah e,
who will confine his remarks principally
To O'Suilivan's alleged connection with
the ease, and also entttavOr to. clear
Kunzp, who is regarded by counsel for
the defense as ''tlamp who was got
into the case. but really has no business
there" MIR. Hynes. who, it will be re-
inemberpd, crOSS-eXamined the medical
experts and several of the witnesses
from Camp 20, both for the prosecution
and defense. will follow Mr.. DonohOe
with an exhaustive argument cOnSulu-
ing probably couple of days. Mr..
Foster, who said on Tuesday at the cOn-
sultatiOn that he did not regard it as the
dItv of counsel for Beggs to say any
thing on behalf of the other prisoners,
and, further. that he thought Beggs'
CASE WOULD BE PREJUDICED
If counsel for the defense. other than
himself. spoke i'm his behalf, will prob
ably follow Mr.. Hynes in an argument
on behalf of his client, BeggS, after
which Mr.. Forrest will review the en-
tire case for the defense, excepting
Beggs. and it is tho 'ght his argument
will consume three days. Luther Latin
Mills will then reply upon the whole
case in an argument in which he will,
like his predecessor, review the entire
case, and will probably consume two
days in his argument. Judge McCon-
neil's charge to the jury will follow,
and the indications are that the jury
will not have the ease in charge before
Tuesday, the 10th. or Wednesday. the
l1th, of December. In the arguments
on behalf of the state the alleged an
tagonisn and bitter feeling shown bv
the defendants towards DIR. Cronin will
be traced back to Feb. 8, on which day
at meeting of Camp 20 of the Clan ma
Gael i'm the evening Capt. Thomas
O'ConnOr testified that he got up In the
meeting and stated that he had heard in
another camp minority report of the
committee appointed To try the old ex-
ecutive committee known as the tri-
angle, in which it was distinctly stated
that the funds of the United Brother
hood to the amount of Sl00.000 had Ueen
embezzlpd hy the old executive and tri-
angle; that Irish patriots had been sent
from this country to England by the ex-
ecutive. and notification given to the
British authorities. which resulted in
the patriots being placed
BEHIND THE PRISON BARS
IN that country. and that. instead of
looking for spies, who were alleged to ex-
istrd in their brotherhood brsides lie
CarOn. they hal better investigate
closely the triangle. Mr.. Fosters de-
fense will he unquestiOnahly that the
state has offered no proof to implicate
his client (Beggs) in any conspiracy rel
atiyp to the death of DR.. Cranin. or
otherwise, and that there Is an inade-
uuacy of proof to hold him. Mr.. FOS-
ter has taken no exceptions 70 the rul-
ings of the court all through the case.
and las made no objection to any evil
dence given, which will place his client
in very unenvianle position, should
the jury convict. From the line nf Mr..
FORESTS defense of the other prisoners,
It is evident that they will argue to the
Jury that not sufficient evidence has
been ad,luced to show that their clients
were implicated in the crime. In short.
they will claim an alibi. The speeches
of the respective counsel will doubtless
he read with the greatest interest.
