THE CRoNIN TRIAL.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-At different times
to-day the Cronin jury was complete, un-
less the talesmen on the stand at the mo-
ment was subject to peremptory chal-
lenge. The challenge came each time,
however. Tonight the jury is still in
complete, four jurors having yet to be
sworn in, but with three of the four
practically accepted by both sides. The
defense has three and the prosecution
twenty-three peremptories left.
William L. James, son of the promi-
nent British American lawyer, said to-
day that suspect Kunze was one of the
men who occupied the fiat on Clark street,
where the furniture found in the Carlson
cottage is supposed to have been first
taken. Young James says that at the
time of CronIn's disappearance his father
had an office across the street from the
flat, and that 1t was from there that he
saw Kunze,
Lawyer Foster, according to local
paper, to-day outlined the defense which
will be made by Suspect Beggs. He will
endeavor to prove that the committees
were appointed, but not for the purpose
alleged. The evidence will show that
after the resolution was discussed it was
decided to refer the whole matter for final
settlement to the district officer, Edward
Spellman, of Peoria. This, Foster says,
was the occasion of all the correspon-
dence between Spellman and Beggs,
which will appear in the trial. If this
correspondence contains the name of
Cronin, Foster says, he is vely much mis-
informed.
