THE CRONIN CASE.
A Most Earnest Argument by The
Counsel of Both Sides.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 13.-At the
opening of the Cronin trial this morn
ing Judge Mcconnell announced his
decision on the question of going into
the past history of the Gamma Gael.
The last witness on the stand yester-
day was ex-Policeman Brown. He
was also an eX-member of the Clan
na-Gael. He was asked whether or
not he preferred charges against DR..
Cronin in 1885, the states attorney ex-
planning that he proposed to show by
the witness that this was the fact !:
that Dan. Coughlin was a member of
the trial committee and that DIR.
Cronin was expelled from the organi-
zaticn. The logical consequences of
the admission of this testimony was a
complete investigation of the Clan
na-Gael, at least SO far as it could be
made to show cause for animosity
against DR.. Cronin on the part
of any of the prisoners at the
bar. This offer led to a most
earnest and protracted argument
between the counsel for the State and
the counsel for the defense that has
yet taken place during the trial.
Nearly every lawyer engaged had
something to say during its progress,
and there was much plain speaking.
The talk occupied the time until the
ad iournment, and Judge Mcconnell
announced that he would hold the
matter under adyisement, and would
render his decision this morning. In
accordance with that arrangement,
when the court was called to order
this morning Judge Mcconnell an
nounced his opinion to be that the
Evidence snnGht TO he elected fro'1
OFFICER Brown on the points named
was incompetent, and ruled it out.

A Pathetic Trial.

BoNmAM, March ia pathetic
scene was witnessed in the district
court room this evening $. J. Lewis,
an intelligent looking young man, was
before the court on charge Of remov-
ing mortgaged property from the state.
The young wife Of the defendant, with
their 2-year old boy, was in the court
room and we're the center of attraction
for all eyes present. Several witnesse s
for the state were examined, all Of
whom stated that Lewis had purchased
a wagon, giving lien note to secure
deferred payment, and had removed to
the Indian Territory to avoid payment
for the same. The last witness called
was the young and beautiful wife Of
the prisoner, who went TO the witness
stand bearing in her arms the little
chubby boy, who was laughing, clap
ping his hands and growing
at the formidable array Of jury
men. The woman was asked to tell
her story, which she did in such pa
thetic manner as to work on the feel.
ings of all present From her story,
which everybody that heard it bcliev.
ed, it appeared that her husband had
been persuaded to leave by an alleged
friend, who made the defendant be.
lieve there was an indictment pending
in the courts against him for carrying
pistol to defend the honor of his
wife. The alleged friend took charge
Of Lewis effects with the understand
ing that the debts of Lewis should be
from the money derived
from their sale. This of course was not
done, and Lewis was arrested last fall,
brought back to Bonham and
placed in Jail, where he has re.
NAMED until the trial this even
ing After the woman had fin.
ished talking the prosecuting attorney
declined to make any argument, and
the defense also submitted the case to
the jury. That body, after remaining
out few moments, returned q verdict |
Of not guilty. The sympathy Of the
spectators were with the defendant,
and when the verdict was read sigh
Of relief went up from all parts Of the
room. Lewis was informed by the
court that he was free man, and,
With the laughing little boy between
hem, the happy man and wife left the
court room with the joy they felt de-
'icted upon their countenances. Many
'ases have been tried in this term Of
he district court, some of Thorn sensa-
ional murder trials, but none have at
racted as much interest as this simple
ase, in which the baby and its mother

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 12.-
There is q strong movement among the

the producers of the West to organize
a company to handle this class of

that the Southern Pacific company
was grossly discriminating against
San Antonio in favor Of Galveston in
an effort to move the cotton and wool
market from this city to Galveston,
the excess in freight charges in favor
OF the latter place on both wool and
cotton being As per cent. The move.

within the next two weeks through a
