CHICAGO Oct. 31.-Patriok McGarry was
still witness in Judge McConnells court this
morning. Mr.. Donahue, counsel for the de-
| tense, moved to strike out all that part of
McGarry's evidence given yesterday in which
McGarry described his visit to the house Of
defendant O'Sullivan after DR.. Cronin's MUIR
der, and at which time he questioned O'Sul-
Ivan closely about his contract with Cronin.
After q lopg argument it was decided to
postpone a decision on the point till this
| afternoon. The cross-examination of Garry
was also postponed, and George Reilly,a bar
keeper, was called to the witness chair. He
| testified that in the latter part of March
Coughlin, O'Sullivan and others were in the
saloon and were talking politics, when Cough
| lin said that certain North Side Catholic
| was talking too much and that if he did not
keep his mouth shut he would get the worst
of 1t.
w. P. Hatfield, salesman for Revell & Co.,
was called and told of selling to q man call.
ing himself J. B. Simonds the bill of furniture
which was taken to the fat at No. III Clark
street and subsequently conveyed to the Carl
son cottage, the scene of the murder. The
only new point developed was the fact that
Simonds said the furniture was "for tempo
rary use. After Hatfield had identified the
furniture which he sold to Simonds
as that subsequently seen by hin in
the Carlson cottage, the trunk in which
DR.. Cronin's body was carried away was
brought into court. Hatfield, after examin-
ing, testified that 1t was identical with the
one sold to Simsnds. On cross-examination
he said that he could not swear that it was
the identical trunk, because the firm kept
such on hand always, and perhaps other deal
ers did also. It came out that Mr.. Forrest,
of counsel for defense. had bought just such
trunk from the witness. It could not be
sworn to positively that the furniture in the
Carlson cottage was the same furniture sold
to..Simonds. It was, however, precisely like it.
When the court resumed its session the
jury was excluded and the matter of striking
out Witness McGarty's evidence as to what
was said during his visit to O'Sullivan's
house on the Sunday following the murder
was taken up. The court finally decided to
exclude all of the talk In regard to 3 former
attack on DIR. Cronin. This was not salts
factory to the defense and another flow of
eloquence was the result. Finally the cross
examination of MoGsrty was resumed.
John w. Sampson, generally known as
fed that about two years ago Ceughlin tried
to hire him to "slug" DR.. Crsnin.
Joseph G. O'Ksefe, DR.. Cronin's tailor, said

factions of the order, and John F. Beggs said
he did not have much confidence in ths
new executive that was elected. Then
the trial committee came under discussion
and he said that DR.. Cronin was
not the proper man to try Alexander Sulli-
van. said Dr.. Cronin did not leave as I'M

another one of the trial committee. John
F. Beggs then told me that Cronin had adj

did not believe it. I told him that Cronin
was too sincere patriot to do anything of

the authority, and then he said Cronin was
the only fit man to belong to Irish societies"
On cross examination 1t was brought out
that Beogs objected to Cronin being on the
committee to try the ease, because he was an
enemy of Alexander Sullivan. Cornelius
Flynn, who was with Bsgss and O'Keefe
when they had the aforementioned CONVEX
sation, corroborated O'Keefe's testimony.

estate Office, testified to the renting of the
