Wis, says: The following was found written
on the wall at the Central hotel Sunday morn.
ing: "P. IT. Cronin, NJ. d. His watch will be
found at 37l S. Clark-st third floor room No.
IL, 113x6l0x40." A stranger who did not reg.
lister was at the hotel Saturday leaving on
the evening train, and the landlord thinks
the writing was done by this man. INQUIRY
at Chicago elicited the fact that the Chicago
address given is that of a Hebrews pawnshop
in squalid quarter. The rooms OF the build
ing are furnished and rented 20 tenants. The
other occupants OF the building say room IL
has been occupied by two mysterious men Of
whom they knew nothing. The information
was communicated 10 States Atty. Longenecker
in the court room, and detectives were dis
patched 10 make thorough investigation Of
the tenants of the building
Just as court adjourned an exciting scene
occurred between Hynes and Forrest Each

tiary Hynes said Forrest was a fenian
and Forrest said Hynes was an Arkansas car
pet-bagger. Hynes said Forrest was d-d
liar and jury-briber. Forrest said twice over
that Hynes was id liar. Then the judge
shut them up.
When the Cronin trial began to-day Dr. Bel
fields private secretary, Miss Martha A. John
son, testified to receiving the bloody chips from
the Carlson cottage from Capt. Schaack. Henry
Buchholz testified that last April kunze was
going under the alias of Kaiser. The defense
objected TO his testimony because his name was
not on the indictment, but the court held that
the law requiring the name of the states wit
nesses on an indictment was only intended 10
cover cases where the trial Immediately fol-
lowed the indictment; in such eases as the
present the defense had plenty OF time 10 rebut
a. IL L
kunze by the name OF Kaiser last April. So
did Joseph Peotowski, a brewer. John p.
Dunn had been introduced 20 Kunze by
Coughlin, the latter saying Kunze was his
friend and would do anything for him. Frank
Washburn heard Kunze say he was going 10
buy a horse from O'Sullvan and pretend 20
pay a big price for it so rs to get some money
from his guardian.
Gus Klahre, the time-keeper who claims 20
have been twice sandbagged by friends of the
defendants, said that Burke came 20 his shop
the Monday after the murder and asked Kahre
% solder up tin box. and a string held down
the cover. Burke would not permit Klahre TO
remove the string, saying, "For Gods sake,
don't do that" Burke told him then that
Cronin was a British spy and ought 10 have
been killed. When Burke was brought back
from Winnipeg Klahre went to the Jail to iden-
tfy him and Burke called him foul name.
During the examination Burke laughed deris-
lively at the witness. Witness said tin box
had been made for Alexander Sullivan, but
this was ruled out as irrelevant
Michael Walsh testified that Burke only
earned SLIGO while at Joliet though he received
a letter while there, and started for Winnipeg
with plenty of money.
Joseph O'ByTne, senor-guardian Of a Cronin
camp, testified that he and Maurice Morris
called on Beggs after the doctors disappear
ance, and asked that the clan, as a whole. take
some action. Beggs said that Morris didn't
know anything about il, as he was not a mem
Der of the inner-circle; that Cronin would turn
mp all right, as he had gone with a woman.
Morris corroborated this story.
DIR. Williams said that he acted profession
ally for Sullivan for three years and his total
fees had been less than $40.
A sewer-cleaner testified to finding DIR.
Cronin's clothes last Friday, and identified
them, as did Capt. Schuettler and Mrs. Conk-
lin, Cronin's landlady.
