The Most Crfminatfng Evidence In
the Cronfn Murder Trial Was Given
Yesterday by MRS. Foye.
CHICAGO, Dec. % -Mrs. Andrew Foye,
at the Coughlin trial to-day, gave the most
eliminating evidence against Daniel Cough
lin tending to show that he was a member
of the conspiracy which ended in the muir
der of DR.. Cronin. She swors that the de-
tectivss often visited her house before and
after May 4, 1889, and always were closeted
together behind closed door alone.
Ooughlin always came in the evening and
they al ways spent from one to two hours
together. No one else was ever present. In
the month of April, 1889, toward the latter
part, Coughlin called and Mrs. Foye went
out to get some beer. AS she entered the
front room she noticed the room was dark
and returned to light the lamp. What she
heard is told in her own words:
GAS entered the room 1 saw Dan
Coughlin and my husband standing to-
all hazards, but use your own discretion"
"Who used those words3' was asked.
1.-THE defendant, Dan Coughlin. He was
reading letter and my husband was lean
ing over his shoulders. When had light

my husband closed the door. He always
kept the door shut. Patrick Cunnea, Jo-
ssph McKenna, Martin Burke and Michael
O'Connor also called at nay home to see my
husband alone frequently from February
until after May 4"
"When was the first time Martin Burke
called after May 4P'
ut was on the evening of May 6"
"We object to that line of evidence"
said Attorney Wing.
The judge pondersd q few minutes and
then said: Il have concluded that I must
allow that evidence to go in. The objso
tlon is overruled." This was great VIC
tory for the state. The judge then in
structed the jury not to consider any evil
dence or what other persons mentioned in
the Indictment did or said after May as
against Coughlin, but as only tending to
show the guilt of the other indicted per-
sons.

Coughlin, at your house after May Al"
