CHICAGO, June I'm his examination
by the coroner on Thursday Captain
OConnor isaid he was present at the triaI
OF Dr. CrOnin, but TO his mind there was nc
evidence To warrant his expulsion from the
organization lie was positive in his OWL
mind that the jury was packed. The circu-
lar was merely cloak 10 get him expelled
1t alleged that the circular CON
tanned ideas antagOnistic to the spirit OF
the order. His expulsion was desired be-
caui OF his possession OF facts showing
the misuse of the funds OF the organiza-
tion. Before the trial Coughlin stated to a
man named Murphy that he thought Cronin
ought 10 be expelled When witness heard
of this be endeavored 10 have Coughlin
kept of the trial committee, but without
avail Expulsion, he said. was the severest
punishment provided by the constitution of
the Clan ma Gael He did not believe the
story published that there had, Just before
the murder, been trial of DR.. Cronin by
Camp 20.
The witness said he met Coughlin'during
the first week OF DIR. Cronins disappear
auce. In conversation the witness re
marked that it was n strange affair. Cough
lin said he believed Cronin had gone 10
London TO testify as lie Caron had done.
Witness told him he did not believe it, and
would rather see him dead than 10 hear of
his being a spy. Coughlin said he hoped
he was alive and in London
The coroner concluded the examination
OF Witness o Connor by saying TO him that
the jury would be glad to hear from him
any thing that might throw any light on
the manner OF Dr. Cronins death This
question was intended 10 give OConnor a
chance 10 lay his hands on the men who
killed the doctor. - he promised to DO soon
after the doctors disappearance. In an
swer Captain OConnor said: Il wish to
God | could throw some light on this ques-
ton"

OF the alleged trial held in Camp -,

was tried as a British spy and condemned
10 death. IN pursuance Of which sentence
the doctors dead body was thrown in the
Lake View catch basin The persistence
with which the coroner put questions OF
