CHIcAG o, Dec. 29.-Mrs. Jonas Carl
son, wife of the owner of the Carlson
! cottage. was called to the stand today
TO finish her testimony in the Coughlin
case. Attorney Donahoe took up the
cross-eXamination, and attempted to
impeach the witness by asking her in re-
gard to her former testimony. Mrs. Carl
son was either more clever or more for
getful than her husband. for she did
not deny having made certain answers,
but said she could not remember. Jonas
Carlson was recalled by the defense and
subjected to further cross-eXamination.
He said, i'll answer to q question, that
he wanted to attend Patrick O'Sulli-
vans funeral. but that "some
! people" would not permit him.
lie denied that he had said he wanted
to see OSullivan's body aud wanted
the dead man to forgive him for what
he had said against him. Judge TuthiIl
sharply rebuked eX-Judge Wing for in
tlmating, by an objection, that all sorts
OF strange and queer testimony was be-
ing admitted as evidence for the prose-
cutIon.
Garhardt Wardell was then called by
the state, and testified in regard to the
man, the night of May 4. entering the
Carlson cottage, in which he saw
light. The witness contradicted several
times the testimony he had given at the
former trial.
The name Uf Alexander Sullivan was
on every lip in Judge TuthilPs court
room yesterday, and the possibility of
his appearance as witness in the trial
OF Daniel Coughliu was the absorbing
topic Of conversation. For the first time
in the history of the famous Cro-
min case the name of Judge Glinneil
was mentioned in connection with start
ling developments that many persons
interested in and familiar with every
detail of the case, expect will come out
before the present trial is finished.
Alexander Sullivan was mentioned as
| possible witness for the defense
Judge Grinneii was mentioned as
possible witness for the prosecution.

know nothing of Judge Grinnell being
called. Cronin'S friends produced the
cablegram today alleged to have been
sent from Paris ana repeated from
Chicago by Alexander Sullivan to Pat
rick Egan in Lincoln, Neb., which they
think refers to the disappearance of Dr.
| Cronin. They declare that if he takes
the stand to deny Mrs. Foy's evidence
they will ask him to explain this cable
| gram.
| The first witness called in the after
| noon session was Prof. Raines, the
! head of the department Of chemistry in
Rush medical college. He testified to
having subjected to chemical tests
| certain dark stains found on a chip
of wood, some cotton and pieces
of blue paper given him by the DO
lice. BY a number of chemical tests he
had come to the conclusion that the
! stains were blood. He could not state
| positively that it was human blood, but
was incllned to that belief. The illness
| of Juror Weinberger caused some I'M
easiness today, but it is not believed to
| be serious.
