 ;; CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The chain of crim. mating evidence welded about Burke, Coughlin and O'Sullivan has been sup piled with it's final links. The State had proved that Cronin left home in tho di, rection of the Carlson cottage on the evening of May 4; that the three prison CTS were i'll that vicinity and that the physician's butchered remains were bur- jed not far away the same night. To convict them the State must prove that CreZiin was in the cottage.
 Mrs. Hoertels story was remarkable and pathetic. An ignorant woman, not aware of the fearful import of words, fastened the moose about the neckS of several men. She struggled desperately with tho English language, but her sin ceritY and her truthiu1ness impressed her hearers. E"-
 Mrs. Hoertel lives close to the Carl soncottage. She said that on the night of May she went to Ertel's saloon at Addison street and Ashland avenue to look for her husband. She noticed that bylthe saloon clock it was o'clock 1; herh usbuii4 not being at the saloon she lrstraeed her steps. going south on the oast side of Ashland avenue.

 . I.c appearance of Coughlin, O'Sulli- Ntn, Burke and Kunze, all save Beggs, aile the witness told her story, was 1; at of terrible and intense interest. It ras | complete surprise to them. Kunze N5s very pale and stared blankly. , i.,rt.c 5 p nierous jaw for once stopped chewing guls, his face turned red and ! glared savagely at the woman. The i scowl on 0 Sullivan's face deepened, and he blood rushing to his dark skinned cheeks made him look like a negro Coughlin sank lower in his chair, and his face was contracted like 1 tt at of shrivelled old man, while his hands twitGhed nervously.
