The interest IN the CrOnIn case is IN
tense among all classes of people. No
doubt is expressed 10y any one that at
least three of the accused men, Burke,
COughiin and O'Sullivan, will be found
guilty of murder, and the opinion IS
general that Kunze will meet the same
fate. Less evidence has been produced
against Beggs than against either of the
others, and yet strong clrcumstantlal

O'Sulivan, like Burke, simply sat and
looked. Beggs seemed least apprehen-
sivc of all, and when the States attor-

German reporter who sat at my side
that "He made a good speech; better
