CR0NIN CASE APPEALED.
Summary of the Claims Set Up in the
Briefs of the Defendants.


OTTAWA, ILL.,, Oct. 9-The assassins Of
DR.. Cronin, now in the peni-
Tertiary, have appealed their case
to the supreme court. The briefs
in the case were filed last
evening. The bills assert that no case
was made against the defendants, picks
flaws in the testimony of many state
witnesses; that the cause OF death was
not shown; alleges fatal error of the
court in overruling the challenges for
cause preferred against certain jurors;
sets u p errors in regard to the
instructions given the jury on be-
half of the people, and those
refused on behalf of tho defense
and alleges error in refusing separate
trial, and contains the statement that
one prisoner cannot have fair trial
when burdened with evidence against
others.
Of course, the brief Of the people is
directly opposite to that of the defense,
and on line and in support of the tes-
timony given for the people at the trial
of the case in Chicago.
The case will probably come up for
argument about the middle of next

Decision by n Supreme Court That Ne
groes are on a Par with Whites.
LANSING, Mich, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court has rendered a very important
opinion affecting the rights of colored
people in public places. One Ferguson,
colored, with friend, entered res
taurant in Detroit, of which a man
named Gies was proprietor. Seating
themselves at d table,a waiter informed
them that they couldn't be waited on at
that table, but if they would take seat
at one which he designated they would
be served. This they refused, de-
manding service at the table at which
they were sitting. The proprietor
admitted discrimination between white
and black people, and claimed he had a
right to make such discrimination.
Plaintiff brought suit in the Wayne cir
cult court for damages, was defeated,
and appealed to the supreme court.
The judgment is reversed, and a new
trial ordered. The court holds the col
ored man is citizen under the consti-
tuti:n, and cannot be Disseminated
against in public places, and says that
the only question that should have been
considered in the lower court was one
of damages. Justice Moore writes the
opinion. the others concur.
