THE CRoNIN CASE BEGUN.
Concluded from second Page.

Oman told him il was dark and that no
body could recognize him if he wished TO
be disguised. The stranger grumbled lit
tie but got into the buggy and drove north,
or in the direction OF COnklin's house,
where DR.. Cronin lived. The stranger
wore alight-colored or faded overcoat and
a small, soft. round hat, the latter turned
down over his eyes. The man had week
or ten-days' beard on his face, OF sandy
color, shading to dark ut the lower part.
The witness had not seen the man since
that time. On the following morning,
early, policeman came to his stable to
know whether or not he had let any one
have a white horse the night before. Wit
ness, suspecting something wrong, went
TO the police station. There he met Dan
Coughlin. who cautioned him to say moth
ing about his (Coughlin'sl having hired
horse the day before, because 1t was known
that he and Cronin were not good friends,
and it might get him (Coughlin) into
trouble.
CHICAGO. Oct 2s.-Again to-day the most
important developments in the Cronin case
were ont of court A female telegraph opera
tor at Hancock, Mich. has given valuable clews
TO the senders of kilograms to Martin Burke.
One telegram warned Burke to get out and
another instructed COOney TO furnish Burke
money. Other kilograms implicate prominent
men on Burke's route to Canada, and involve
some of the parties indicted for jury fixing.
Yesterday friends OF Dr. Cronin held a meet
ing TO arrange a memorial meeting for Allen,
Iakin aud O'Brien, the Manchester mart6rs."
A resolution was adopted denouncng Con-
gresham Finerty and the Citizen. d. p. Cur
ran said:
"There are two men in our community who are
affected In their official capacities by the great con-
npiraces, who are pOwerless, who are palalyzed by
the far-reaching influences Of this faction repre-

Here the speaker was interrupted and did
not finish his remarks John Dewey of New
York bitterly denounced Finerty, and said
funds were needed to hunt down the con-
spirators.
When the trial of the suspects began this
morning DR.. Cronins brother called
witness, but was not present Napier More
land, an employee of Oman, the livery man,
testified that the celebrated white horse, when
returned TO the stable bore evidence of hard
driving, and the buggy was covered with sand
and boulevard mud"
Mrs. Conkling, DIR. Cronin's landlady testi-
fed to the doctors departure on the night Of
May with unknown man, who told the
doctor that one of O'Sulivan's ice men had
been run over She also told Of her interview
with C'Sullivan, In which she said 1t was strange
that that he should require permanent ply
stefan 10 attend his three employees. She also
told of her Identification of Dinan's horse as
the one behind which Cronin was driven to his
death.
Mrs. Conklin's cross-examination brought
out the fact that within a few days after the
disappearance of DIR. CrOnin Police Capt
Setback bad brought Dinan's white horse and
the buggy to her house for Identification, and
that she had failed at that time to identify the
animal as the one which hauled the doctor
away TO the Carlson cottage. On the 18th OF
May, when the animal brought by
porter, she identified il. Mrs. COnklin ac-
counted for this by saying that the circum-
stances OF weather and light and the angle at
which she viewed the horse when brought by
the captain were different from those under
which she saw him when the man called for
Dr. CrOnin. The reporter presented the animal
under similar conditions. The cross-examina-
ton lasted until late in the afternoon, and wit
ness was piled with questions in iteration and
IeiteratlOn as to the circumstances under
which she saw the horse; as to the complexion
end color OF mustache of the man who came
for Or. Cronin etc, but her statements on di.
riot examination were not materially shaken. In
reply 70 a question to where DIR. CrOnin
kept his money, indicating possible defense
OF murder for the purpose OF robbery, Mrs.
Conkling named the bank IN which the doctor
kept MS funds and said she he had
very little with him on the night OF the MUIR
der because he never carried much money
about his person.
Charles w Beck the reporter, testified to
taking the white horse there for Identification.
Miss Sarah McNerny, who in DIR. Gro
nin's reception room when the man came for
him with the white horse, described that indi-
vidual as appearing very nervous, and with a
piercing disconcerting stare, which he liked
upon tse witness. Her description OF the man,
49, x Of his mgstache, Of his coat, etc,
- ase5NXth that given by Mrs.
ID lr. Cr.;nins brother from Arkansas, identi-
Sd thefI.akegiew corpse as that OF his brother.
y Franz Scanlan gave evidence as TO seeing DIR.
CroRin drive Of from his Office in the white
horse rig. i. b. COnklin, the salOOn-keeper,
with whom CrOnin resided, was recalled by the
state. He testified 70 starting out Immediately
after breakfast the first morning OF Cronin's abb
eence to search for the doctor. At O'Sullivan's
house. the iee-man was seen and denied having
sent for Cronin that any of his men had
been hurt. CODklin then went TO police head
quarters, proceeding afterward to the f. Chi
eago-ave police station. Capt sehaack at the
station thought evening time enough for
alarm. Conklin went at once TO the Pinker-
tons. The salOon-keeper was still on the wit
ness stand when court adjourned until to-mor-
row.
WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 2s.-George A. Baker,
assistant states attorney of Chicago, arrived in
this city this afternoon. While reticent, ii is
understood that he is here in connection with
the confession alleged to have been made by
Burke 10 his fellow prisoners. Bob Hebron,
the released prisoner is highly indignant at the
doubts of the authenticity of his story OF
Burke's confession entertained by some. He
vigorously asserts that every statement he has
made is true. He says Burke, despite his pro-
tests that he did not want TO hear them, per-
sisted in telling him the details of the plot with
It's murder0us outcome.
