. Mr.. Lon-enecker went on to'say that any
one who looks AT the facts or evidence can
see very readily that the acts committed
are OF themselves conclusive that they are
the result OF a conspiracy. He added ths,
the state would present its evidence as
speedily as possible
Counsel for the defense then one by one
waived their right TO make each an opening
address and the taking of testimony began.

captain of the Lake View police. His tes-

Cronin in various secret societies also gave
testimony as to the identity of the body
and to the location OF Cronin's office.

fact that, contrary to general belief, Cro-
nin's Office was SO situated that the view
into its windows could not be obtained

Several other witnesses were examined
before adjournment. They testified wholly
regarding the finding and Identification of
the corpse. Nothing important was brought
out
CHICAGO. Oct. 24.-P. w. Dunno. who is
indirectly connected with the prosecution
in the Cronin trial, said today that efforts
had been made, and were TO be further
pushed, to obtain, If possible, from Parnell
or his counsel. Sir Charles Russell, cate
gorical statement that Cronin's name Was
not of the four handed in by the spy
LeCaron as that OF the men who were sys-
tematicaliy betraying to the English govern
ment the secrets OF the Irish movement in
America. Letters to this end have been
writsen-one at least by Dunne-to the
Irish leader. Matt Harris.
1t is now proposed to forward to the
other side as formidably signed "a petit
tion" as can be secured, demanding the
desired information and taking the ground
that if Cronin's name was not on the list
OF spies no breach of trust will be made by
breaking silence and saying so.
