CRoNIN's CLOTHES AND INSTRUMENTS.
Mike Gilbert, a sewer cleaner, testified
to finding Cronin's effects last Friday,
and then the clothes and instruments of
the murdered physician were brought
into the court room.
The clothes were held up for the in
spection of the jury.
Then Mrs. Conklin took the stand and
identified each piece of clothing and each
instrument as having been worn and car
ried by the doctor when he left his home
on his fatal ride. She recollected each
article perfectly. and the truth of her
testimony was so self-evident that the
defense waived cross-examination.
Court then adjourned,
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Judge Longe-
necker offered in evidence the specimens
of hair taken from the trunk and from
DR.. Cronin's head, which had been COM
pared by. chemical and microscopic ex-
perts and found to be Identical. They
were admitted in evidence over the OBJ
objection of Mr.. Forrest.
Mrs. Pauline Hoertel, who lives on Ra-
cine avenue, near the Carlson cottage,
was then called. Mrs. Hoertel swore
that she saw a man resembling DR.. Gro
min enter the Carlson cottage on the ev-
ening of May 4. Mrs. Hoerters story
was that she was passing the Carlson
cottage between and o'clock on the
evening of May 4, when she saw two
men in buggy drive up to the cottage.
One of the men got out and went up the
steps. He knocked, the door was opened
and he went in. The man carried some
thing like satchel. 1t might have been
a surgeons instrument case. The horse
that drew the buggy was white. When
the man entered the door of the cottage
it was closed Immediately and witness
heard sounds as though heavy blows
were being dealt; there was the
NOISE OF A GREAT STRUGGLE.
Witness stopped and heard someone cry
outt'Oh, my God" After the exclama-
ton, "Oh, my God," she heard another,
"Oh, Jesus" and a sound as someone
crying or moaning, and followed by
blows. 1t sounded as though there was
something breaking. Then she heard
more cries and means, after which the
SOUNDS DIED AWAY AND ALL WAS STILL.
The witness, an unsophiscated German
woman, gave her evidence with so much
simplicity and aightforwardnes that
nearly every one in the court room was
impressed with the recital. Coughlin
and Burke at first turned pale and then
look of blank despair came over their
faces. The witness went on to say that
after passing the cottage she went
around on Roscoe street, where she saw
a man standing between the cottage and
her house in the shadow. This was near
the real estate office where another wit
ness, yet to come, will testify that
OSULLIvAN WAS ON WATCH
while the assassins were at their bloody
work. With the statement that the
man in the buggy did not have to wait
Oh the steps but the door was quickly
opened for him. The examination in
chief of witness closed.
Officer Thomas McKinnon, of Winni-
peg, was the first witness called in the
afternoon. He testified to the arrest of
Burke in that city on June 10. Burke
when arrested had railroad ticket to
Montreal, steamship ticket from Mon
treal to Liverpool, and $500 in money.
