Patrick DinaR. the liyeryIEsn. vas the
next witness Mr.. Dnan testified e
the oft-rePested story Of Dan Cougniin
oa Nay 4 engaging rig for a friend
tie calling of the friend for IL IN the
evening. the hitching up Of the cele-
brated white horse, and the objection oi
the stranger 70 the color Of the horse
The rig was driven north on Clark street
in the direction Of Dr. Cronlns office.
Monday morning, when DR.. Crenins
absence became known, a policeman ap-
peared a. Dinans stable and inquired
II any white horse had been taken out
OF the stable Saturday night He an
swered in the negative. because he had
been told by the captain Of the precinct
not 10 tell any one when an
officer engaged a horse. The ON
GERS often hired rigs and didn't
want the fact talked about. The
witness felt as though something vas
wrong and won't 10 the station that
night. where he saw Dan Coughlin.
Coughlin asked the witness 10 say moth
ing about his friend having tho horse
out as IL might get him into trouble, as
he and Dr. Cronin had not been good
friends for a year and half. Some
days afterward he met Coughlin and the
latter said he had found the friend Of
his who had tho white horse; that he
found him az the Northwestern depot
and saw him take the train for Mexico.
He said that the man paid him three
dollars for the horse, but that he had
spent it.
Dinan then went 10 Captain Setback
and told him the circumstances. In re-
- - 4t,.o
appearance of the man who took the
horse. The description is familiar to
the public Muddy boots; little, round
slouch hat stubby, reddish beard
and brown overcoat The horse
Dinan described as a common. old white
horse. He could not tell its age. There
were no particular marks on the animal.
The Joints were rather large and the
limbs thin. II was restless in motion
and cranky" The horse was taken from
the stable somo time after May 4 by n
reporter for the Chicago Times. Mr.
Dinan identified Charles w. Beck, of the
Times, who was present in the court
room, as the gentleman 10 whom he had
let the horse. The rig given Beck was
the same in all respects as when the
strange man took it away on May Z.
Dinan met Dan Coughlin the next
week. "He said 70 me: We'll, / hope
you are satisfied now?' said was, and
] was glad Of II. He said: Well, I'd
hate to put any thing dirty in your way.
You're a clear case of we7kener,' Well
] said, If you put any thing wrong be-
fore me I'll weaken mighty quick"
Mr.. Forrest made strenuous effort TO
elicit to what this conversation referred,
but the court sustained Mr.. Mills OBJ
lection. Mr.. Forrest got the matter
before the jury, however, by ask
ing questions which he knew would be
overrhed. The facts were that this
conversation took place after Captain
Setback had taken the white horse to
Mrs. Conkl.I.'s and had told Dinan that
that lady had failed to identify it. 1t
was to this failure on her part to iden-
tify the animal as the one that took Dr.
Cronin away and the consequent apparent
removal Of suspicion from Coughlin that
the conversation referred. Dinan also
denied to Forrest that he rad given
Captain Setback many Of the details of
description of the man who called for the
white horse 10 which Captain Schaack
testified al the coroner's inquest.
Court adjourned until Mondar.
