THE KNIVES In EVIDENCE.
The Case Reopened To dmit Them.
LOng0nccker,sA Address UeguM.

LOngenccker's Address Begun.
CHICAGO, November 29.-At the open
ing of the Cronin trial this morning the
State called one witness in rebuttal on
Burke's alibi, then the defense began
sur.rebuttal to strengthen it's case.
Nothing of importance was developed.
At the afternoon session the defense
rested its case after the examination Of
two or three witnesses, whose testimony
brought out nothing new. The States
Attorney then said that the State had
some new and important evidence which
had just come to hand. Forrest OBJ
jected to their reopsning the case, but
after consultation with the States Attor-
ney, Judge Mcconnell decided to admit
the evidence.
Police Officer Bartholomew Flynn was
then called to the stand and testified /:
when Daniel Coughlin was arrested /
WAS ordered by Lieutenant Elliott to
take him to the Harrison street station.
When we got there | searched him in
Captain Bartram's Office. These two
knives which l have in my hand found
in his possession. took the knives and a
revolver from Coughlin, took them back
to headquarters, went up stairs to Lieu
tenant Elliott's Office, and then took them
down to my box in headquarters and
locked them up. They were there until
the 10th or 18th of September, when ]
took them over to the Fidelity vault
where they have since remained. Last
night called the attention of Captain
Schuetter to them. Captain Bartram
knsw l had the knives, but up to last
night 1 did not call the attention Of any
one else to them."
| This closed the direct examination and
Forrest moved to exclude the evidence
on the ground that the knives had been
in the possession OF the State ever since
Coughlin's arrest. The motion was
overruled.
On cross-examination witness said he
did not tell the Chief of Police about the
knives because it did not occur to him
that it was matter of sny consequence.
Z. T. Calkins, the man with whom Dr.
Cronin lived, identified the knives as
having been Carried by DR.. Cronin when
alive. The smaller one witness had
himself carried for two years, and then
gave it to Cronin. If they were moi
Cronin's knives, they looked exactly like
them.
The knives were admitted in evidence
This ended the evidence and States AT

the jury.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD. /
CmcAGo. November 29.--The local
news bureau has new sensation in the
Cronin case. Detective Flynn, who
locked Dan Coughlin up at the time OF
his arrest, informed Chief Hubbard to-
day, as if he had just thought of it, that
Coughlin gave him two knives ON that
occasion, which, at Coughlin's request,
he locked up in the safety vault. These
knives were secured today and taken to
one of DR.. Cronin'E intimate friends,
who identified one of them as the dead
DOCTORS property. When questioned
about the matter this morning Chiet
Hubbard admitted its truth and declared
that he believed it'was Clan-na-Gael in
fuence which induced Flynn to suppress
the matter until it wss too late to use i
in evidence in the pending trial.

A LARGE number of the Grangers who
have beer in attendance at the National
Convention at Sacramento will arrive
here Monday morning and stop for a
short time. The gentlemen who have
taken an active interest in giving a
hearty reception to these visitors have
not yet definitely determined upon the
programme. Wherever these delegates
have gone in the State to the north OF US
they have been very cordially received
and been extended the warmest hospital
tiles. Los Angeles will not be behind
her northern neighbors in giving to these
distinguished visitors a reception which
they will appreciate.

Any one who believes thar Pixley runs

now In possession of the Governorship
of California through Pixley's tactics.
His game is plain as the nose on mans
face. In every case where the Demo-
Gratis nominate man who is not accept

Our Republican contemporaries are all
OF accord in regard to selecting can
didats for Governor from this end of the
State TO lead them on to defeat at the
next State election. They do not name
their man, but they leave it to bs in
ferred that everybody knows who he
should be. As Governor Waterman is
conspicuously in the field, and no
other name has been put prominently
forth, We presume they will all cordially
unite on him. Waterman, according to
Waterman, is the only man who can be
elected.

prise.
As matter of fact, while San Pedro is
not specially endowed by the govern
ment, Redondo Beach is forging ahead at
a tremendous rate. The gentlemen who
formally controlled the affairs of the
Oregon Navigation Company evidently
mean business. Captains Ainsworth
and Thompson have had great deal of
experience on this Coast. They have been
largely instrumental in building up the
principal seaports of Oregon and WASH
ington territory. The fact that they re-
gard Redondo Beach as a 6ne CONNER
cial proposition is itself almost
demonstration Of its status. Better than
that ia the circumstance that the leading
commercial business Of Southern Califor-
MIA is now being done there. There is no
question, judging from the amount OF
business reported from that point, that
Redondo ought to be made port of en-
try. While we are disposed to be quite
respectful to Gen. VaEdever, and recog-
niss him as An aged stalwart, he does
not seem to be specially fortunate
in having the rightful demands of this
region recognized at Washington. The
Federal building out on Main street
seems to be case of arrested develop
ment. 1t is quite remarkable the lack of
anything like vitality that has charsc-
terized operations around San Pedro
since Gen. Vandever has represented
this district in Congress. The dis
tinguished representative Of the Sixth
Congressional district seems to have
dissipated all his energies in an abortive
struggle to stand in with the
Mexican International Company in
an effort to buy Lower Cali
fornia. 1t is therefore all the
more pleasant to find that Captains
Ainsworth and Thompson are them
selves creating port that in volume of
business is already the second in the
State of California. When private en-
terprise has done so much, why should
not the government be stimulated to do
something commensurate with the needs
of this Coast, where harbors are go infre-
quent. The government Of France put
in fifty.seven years creating harbor at
Cherbourg. Begun under the first
Napoleon it was completed under
the third. II cost three hundred
millions of francs, and was inaugurated
with great eclat by Queen Victoria and
Napoleon and his court, Victoria on that
occasion putting the garter on the French
Emperor. France is not picayunish in
such matters. The United States might
well initiate the French people. Mean.
while, it is pleasant to know that enter.
prising citizens of the United States are
doing SO much to repair the negligence ol
their government.

LONGENEcKER,s ARGUMENT.
He starts In TO show Up the Camp
go COMRDfFacy.


go Conspiracy.
CHICAGO, November 2g.-Mr. Longe-
necker announced to the jury that he
would confine himself to review of the
evidence in the case, leaving the argu.
ments and speeches to his associates.
He said: "The State does not desire
that the prisoners shall be guessed
guilty; it does not desire that they be
convicted upon doubtful evidence. We
DO not desire that they be convicted upon
anything but the law and the evidence
In the case; but if you, who have heard
all OF it, believe that the law and the
evidence justify you in saying they are
guilty, then we do demand that your
verdict shall be in accordance with it
and the evidence, and nothing short of a
truthful verdict under the law and the
evidence will meet the demands in the
case. Whether the verdict be to acquit
Or convict, with that verdict the people
must be content. The State contends
tnat the murder of DR.. Cronin wes
brought about by conspiracy. We
claim that it was concocted and executed,
and that these men on trial were parties
to the conspiracy, together with others
not on trial. That is our position. We
further claim that it was a cold-blooded
conspiracy; conspiracy without par
allel, coldly and deliberately planned; q
conspiracy most terrible in Its effects"
The States Attorney then spoke of
the disseneions in the Clan-na- Gail and
the appointment OF committee to try
the executive, of which committee Gro.
min was a member. Then beginning
with the testimony of the Secretary OF
Camp 20, he reviewed in narrative form
at great length the evidence Of the wit
neeses as to the row in Camp 20 over the
premature reading of the Buffalo minor
ity report in Cronin's camp, and the ref.
erence Of the matter by Beggs to SPELL
man. He stated that at camp meeting
the night of February 8th the conspiracy
began. He then continued his review OF
the evidence regarding the Beggs-Spell-
man correspondence, etc., and came
down to the meeting OF Camp 20 on Feb.
ruary 22d, when Patrick McGarry made
certain charges, and Beggs in the meet
ing said he thanked God that Alexander
Sullivan had friends, and that he (Beggs)
WAS one of them.
At this point the court adjourned.
