life. If it killed him it wouldn't make
much difference. The afternoon session
was full of interest. Hakan Martinson,
the Swedish eXpressman who hauled
the furniture from the Clark street flat.
opposite Cronin's Office, to the Carlson
cottage, told his story as it has been al
ready published. He said he hal seen
the man that hired him several times
since the day in question. Officer Moore
told of a conversation he had with
Cronin. in which the latter said that
Sullivan had threatened to kill him and
that he knew there was conspiracy to
put him out of the way. The next wit
ness was Chief of Police Hubbard, who
repeated statement made to him by
the prisoner Woodruff. and which the
chief said he believed to be
A TRUE STORY.
1t was to the effect that two men
named King and Fairburn had hired
him several days before the tragedy to
have horse and wagon ready when
they notified him, paying him s25. May
he was ordered to be ready at 9
O'clock. He drove the men to the Carl
son cottage. After few minutes walt
they came out with the trunk, which
was placed in the wagon. BY directions
he drove to the pier at the lake Off Full
lertOn avenue. the intention being to
throw the trunk into deep water. Some
fishermen were encountered, however.
and it was decided to drive to Edge
water, several miles distant. Here.
while accommodating the lake front. a
rural police officer questioned them,
and, being alarmed, they determined
to drive cityward again. Wnen
passing the manhole they ordered
him to stop. The trunk was
taken out by the two men and lifted
into the hole. 1t was too large. how
ever. to go in. Then after telling him
to drive on few yards they kicked in
the side and deposited the body in the
basin. Woodruff thought at the time it
was lifted back into the wagon, but
subsequently thrown into the clump OF
bushes where it was found. Then he
drove the men to Lincoln park, where
they departed. A loud buzz went
through the court room when the chief
concluded, and it was renewed when
Coroner Hertz, holding up a small
package, announced that he proposed
to submit some of the private papers OF
the deceased He first read two dis
patches from New York, one dated
Jan. 13, and signed j. t. Mcmahon, re-
questing the doctor to be peremptorlly
at Westminster hotel Jan. Is for
a committee meeting, and the
other of Jan. IS, signed Ronayne,
saying: "Ordered by proper authorities
that you send your report on the trial"
To this copy of the reply was ap-
pended: 81 vote as did at the trial.
Mackey has the records" Then came
the minority report of the Buffalo trial,
signed by DR.. McGahey, of Philadel-
phia, and indorsed by Cronin. This
has also been published, Finally. the
coroner submitted the notes OF the evil
dence taken at this trial, the handwrit-
ing of the deceased having first been
identified. In this document the Objec-
tions raised by Alexander Sullivan
against CrOnin sitting on the committee
were stated at length. The protest was
overruled by the votes of Burns,
Rogers, McGahey and Cronin. One
witness (name not given. but supposed
to be Luke DillOn) testified that he was
sent to England
ToDO "ACTIvE WORK"
He was given e4 and steerage ticket.
AS soon as they reached London they
were called upon by two men whom
they believed to be Scotland Yard de-
tectives. He returned in three months
in the steerage. Upon his arrival he
was given $50 by one Donovan and OBJ
jected to the smallnesS OF the amount.
He was soon called upon to go across
again and to take another man with
him. One of the two men who was to
help him was John T. MarOney. He
was given only $500 and soon after his
arrival in London the money gave out.
Again he was called on by British de-
tectives. Here the notes become frag-
mentary. One paragraph reads: 1.-The
work was to be done, although money
ran short. Saturday we did it. There
were four men and they were given
$500. They did four operations The
witness did not use his assumed name
i'm London, but that of the triangle's
agent. This agent, who was not within
four miles from where the work was
done, was now in prison. In this case
the betrayerS were fOiled. The evil
dence went on to tell of the men sent
across the water. LOmaskey and Flem-
ing were sent in 1884 and killed in Lon
don. When the unknown witness
wanted to raise fund for the defense
of the men on trial in England, Gen.
Kerwin said that friendless men were
better off at such times. When the wit
ness returned from New York he had
"three half-pennies" in his pocket. The
row in the Pittsburg convention was
gone over. Another witness told how
Dillon had been given moEey for his
''active work." ana how Maroney had
been given $400 at one time and
5000 at another by Gen. Kerwin in be-
half of the executive so that he could
60 into the furnishing goods business
in Philadelphia. Other witnesses told
of Capt. Lomaskey's missions Of de-
struction to England. Carroll, Kerwin
and Bolan were scored for neglecting
the families of the dynamiters. Flem-
ing's mother died in the poorhouse.
The captains wife was turned out of
her mouse by the sheriff. She testified
before the committee that she had re-
ceived but 81 200 from the organization.
She saw Alexander Sullivan and told
him her condition. but he did not aid
her. This concluded the reading, and
also the INQUIRY.
