Il called officer Coughlin down to my
office and asked him where he was on May 4.
He said he could not exactly remember. I
said to him he ought to remember, as he was
standing good for the rig that drove Cronin
away. He said he was quite positive that he
was at the station in the evening, but after
that he did not remember. | asked him,

for reading a report of the committee to

Alexander Sullivan has been discharged by
the other court last week. l protest against
anything against Alexander Sullivan being
introduced into this case. We have no de-

nothing whatever TO do with the trial"
Mr.. FoSter-The counsel for the state ex-
pect to convict my client, Beggs, because
! he was friend of Alexander Sullivan, and
for no other purpose, when it is matter of
fact that he could not find enough evidence
against Alexander sullivan to enable him to
procure even an indictment against him. |
do not stand here either to laud or defend
Mr.. Sullivan but submit to your honor that
you are not going to convict these men upon
evidence that they are friends of Alexander
sullivan. IL be is the black sheep. If he is as
guilty as they say he is, why do they not in
dict him?
The State Attorney-If some Of his dupes
will tell us the facts and the truth, we will
get an indictment against him pretty soon.
Mr.. Donahoe-I except to that statement.
The states Attorney-You are not defend
ing Alexander Sullivan, are your You are
not dupe of his. are you? Now. we propose
TO show here that, Notwithstanding Alex
ander Sullivan walks the streets of the city
of Chicago-we propose to show that four
years ago this very same man who was on
the executive committee, and charged with
the fraudulent appropriation of these funds,
prosecuted DR.. Cronin; and this man, Daniel
Coughlin, was on that committee trying DR..
Croniu for writing circular that reflected on
Alexander Sullivans character.
The Court-I shall allow any remarks made
by Coughlin indicating malice towards Gro
min to go into the case, as it properly belongs
to it, but in regard to the question now before
me. 1t seems to me that the proposal of the
states attorney would be to go into
the history of motives other than
the development of facts relative TO
the Case That is the point the court has in
his mind at the present time. 1t would seem
TO me, from the evidence already in the case,
you have motives that are important and
that there has been evidence introduced
which tends i'll that direction, and If you are
going into the history of motives, do not
know how far back you may not go. What is
to be the limit, and where would be the end?
The argument was continued with
much interest till the hour of adjourn
ment arrived. Judge Mcconnell an
nounced that he would hold the matter
under advisement till tomorrow morn
