The speaker took up again the duhi-
ousneSs Of idsngiioations, enlarged GA
the cases IN his recollection and quoted
from books 70 complete his illustration
He then referred 10 Meries sno James
testimony about their seeing kunEe u
III Clark street and g. The gate % the
Carlson cottage, and said that IL think
that such testimony VAS worthy of
serious consideration Was absurd Mr.
Donsboe next took up the questions -

Touching the contract the speaker
did not deny lis existence, but claimed
that unless IL hso been proved that
OSulliyan in making the contract had
done so with criminal intent, the fact
had no significance. lie thought the
State had 50 failed 70 prove.
In closing, Mr.. Donshoe besought the
jury 10 deal justly with his clients. and
that IL the name Of Alexander Sullivan
had ever prejudiced them in any man
ner. not 10 let that prejudice influence
their minds in arriving st their verdict.
Mr.. Donahoe's appeal 10 the jury wss
couehed In eloquent terms and deliv-
cred in q manner SO pathetic that tears
ooursed down the cheeks OF oSulliv&n
and KunZe Burke also tried IN vain
70 conceal the maze Of tears through

maintained by the big audience during
the lawyers peroration.
CHICAGO, Dec 5.-At the morning ses-
sion OF the Cronin trial Mr.. Hynes
spoke for the prosecution. He said that
In this trial every safeguard had been
given the accused men 20 secure 70 them
justice. How different the proceedings
when DR.. Cronin was accused be-
hind his back, tried behind his
back, killed. and then accused
publicly. But for some miscarriage in
the conspirators' plans for the disposal
of the murdered man, the statement
made by Beggs before the discovery Of
the body about the doctor being
British spy would have been
by the larger part Of the public
believed for . mutilsted. unrecognizs-
BILE body having on the clothes OF DIR.
Cronin would have been found in En-
gland and the supposition spread that 10
must have been the Doctors
The speaker said that al the beginning
Of this trial the defense contested the
Identification OF the body When, after
the discovery Of the murdered mans
clothes they were forced 20 abandon
that line OF defense, they set Up the
plea that the cause Of death bad not
been established. he continued;
why, even the expert witnesses for the de.
tense dared rot ceny that nc shock tc the
brain evidenced by the ohArscter ~ the
wounds would cause death But the defense
say there is DO evidence O. the confusion of
the brain. Yes, because the body vss Denied
Christian or even decent burial, thrust head

The alibi Of O'Sullivsn engaged the

bic length. The absurdity o. the story

evidence Of Nioman and Anderson. who

in the saloon on that day supported the
absurdity. Moreover. one % the men
