mony.


CHICAGO, Oct. IS.
At the opening of the Cronin trial this
morning the state called for the brother of
DIR. Cronin but that brother was not present
and Napier Moreland, employe of Patrick
Dinan, the livery man was called instead.
He testified as TO the facts of the hiring of
the white horse on the evening of the 4th of
May when DR. Cronin was killed. The evil
ience does not differ materially from that
given By Dinan, Saturday.
Mrs CODkling at whose house DIR. Cronin
last lived was the next witness. She told the
story of how the doctor was called away
from the house on the night of May 4th.
She said at 720 z. NJ. a stranger. who
seemed nervous and excited. inquired for
DR.. Cronin and seemed very reluctant to
enter. The stranger took q seat in the
waiting room. When DR.. Cronin came out
Of his office the man said, 'Dr. Cronin you
are wanted to attend u man who has been
hurt at O'Sullivan's ice office" At that
moment the man drew card from his pocket
and presented it to the doctor, who said, II
will be with you soon, or something to that
effect. DIR. Cronin then ran to his private
room and gathered together some bandages
and cotton batting. He brought it out W ith
his surgical case and case of splints. Then
drawing on his coat as quickly as possible.
he left, running out and carrying these things
and the case in his arms. The two went
hurriedly out of the house as fast as they
could, not even shutting the door. | heard
them running down stairs.
Mrs. Conklin said DR.. Cronin got
into buggy with a white horse
attached and was driven northward. She
described who came for the doctor, which
Tailed very closely with the description given
by former witnesses, of the man who hired
the white horse from DiEan. The day fol-
lowing Cronin's disappearance she and her
husband discovered card which the
man had brought-that Of O'Sullivan,
iceman. That afternoon Pinkerton detec
tive brought O'Sullivan to Conklins Hat.
Mrs. Conklin told O'Sulliyan she thought it
very strange man who employed only three
men and who never had an accident should
employ physician to be ready on call. In
case of such happenings it was strange he
should pass by hundreds of competent phy
sicians who lived near by and 90 seven miles
TO arrange with Cronn, and stIangest of all
very soon thereafter man should appear
with o'Sullivans card and take the doctor
away, presumably to his death.
Mrs. Conkling's cross-examination brought
out the faci that within few days after the
disappearsr of Cronin, Police Captain
Setback brought Dnan's white horse and the
buggy to her for identification and she failed
at that time to identify the animal as the one
which hauled the doctor away to the Carlson
cottage. On May 26h, when the animal
brought BY reporter, she identified it.
Mrs ConklIng accounted for this by saying

argyle at VIII ch she viewed the horse when
