Chief Justice Hanford, who was one of
the canvassing board, overlooked the
document before Messenger Robinson
started with it for the capital, but did
not think that the governors name was
necessary. President Harrison is techni-
cally right, and Governor Ferry and
the legislators do not complain. They
regret exceedingly that the admission of
the state should be delayed. Especially
when it is considered Governor Moore
wrote letter 10 the president stating he
had sent ten copies OF the constitution
and certified to the election returns.
Orders were given for its preparation
and it was sent this afternoon. Mean
while something had to be done to avoid
delay in the admission of the state and,
with this in view, the following telegram
was sent:
"OLYMPIA, Nov. 4th.
Pses5dent Harrison Il have this day
mailed you copy of the constitution
identical with that you have, and the fol-
lowing certificate attached:'

tuition, articles, propositions and ordl-
pances.

A REVIEW OF THE CASE.
CHICAGO, Nov. A concise statement
of what has been done in the Cronin case
to date is about as follows: The bearing
of testimony in the case has consumed
ten days. In that time the state has ex-
ainlned about seventy witnesses. The
case has been developed far enough TO
give some idea of how far the state will
be able to go in proving matters which
the jury were promised should be proved
in States Attorney LongeDecker's opening
address. Before the trial began there was
in the public mind The general idea that
the murder was the result of a conspi-
rasy, more or less extended. Just how
far the state proposed TO prove that the |
was extended, was not known |
lntittheA case was opened by the state.
II was then seen that it proposehto prove
it to the widest extentg~ Although'a great !
deal of testimony has been INTRODUCED;
nothing, or next to nothing, has yet been
gwen showing the conspiracy Sto have |
been more extended than to include the |
prisoners on trial end those indicted with |
them.
What has been proven so far, is that
On the night of May 4, DR.. Cronin was
called from his office on North Clark
street to attend man. said to have been
injured by one of P. O'Sullivan's Ice
wagons; that he responded to the call, be-
cause be was led to believe it was In pur
suance of the contract he had made some
time before with P. O'Sulhvan; that he
left his Office in company with a man, an
accurate description of whom has been
gwen by large number of witnesses,
but whose identity has not yet been
made known; that the two, the doctor
and the stranger, drove north with horse
and buggy which Dan Coughlin hired of
Dinan, the liveryman; that DR.. Cronin's
body was found eighteen days later in a
catchbasin in Lakeview, and that death
resulted from blows he had received
about the head.
