Motions in tine Cronin Case.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10,-This afternoon. At
torneys Wing, Donahoe and Forrest filed a
motion for a new trial in the cases of
Coughlin, Burke, O'Sullivan and Kunze,
convicted of the murder of DIR. Cronin.
The motion, which is very lengthy, assigns
thirty nine causes of error in the rulings
of Judge Mcconnell. These grounds of al
legged error embrace every point contested
by the attorneys for the defense. Among
other things the refusal of the court to
permit the defense to show that Messrs.
Mills, lngham and HyneS were employed in
the prosecution by private parties ,actuated
by improper motives, is alleged to have
been prejudicial to defendants, uand the
courts allowing these lawyers to assist in
the prosecution is said to be an error.
HyBes is charged to have been moved by a
spirit of personal hostility toward Coughlin,
Burke and O'Sullivan and not fit to act as
prosecuting attorney. States ATTORNEY
Longenecker's opening address to the Jury
is cited as error, being improper and lille
gal. 1t is charged that the improper re-
marks of the counsel for the state excited
the passions and prejudices of the Jurors
against defendants. Allowing the prosecu-
ton to introduce as evidence clothing, in
struments, hair and all material evidence
in the case was il error. The introduction
of Cronin's knives after the state had
closed its case is also cited Objection is
made to the instructions given by Judge
Mcconnell The verdict is pronounced
contrary to law and not justified by the evil
dence, and finally, it is said, defendants
have discovered evidence which entities
them to new trial."

to this country considerable stock of

The stuff was purchased in Europe by Mrs.
Huntington and was brought back here by
MIR. Huntington and his wife, when they
returned from witnessing the marriage of
their daughter to Prince Hatzfeldt. Ar
irving at this end of the line the usual dec
laration was made that the contents of the
various trunks were made up of the per-

the custom house inspectors went through

claimed is $500. How many times Mr..
Huntington has gone from the Mills build
ing to the custom house and returned in
