two people woro wounded.
A dcaienins report was heard imme-
diately after the explosion and it at
tractcd large crowds OF people to the
spot filling all the streets leading 10 the
piazza Dimonte Citiorio. The police i'm
mediately after the explosion swarmed
to tho spot in large numbers and, it IL
said, succeeded in making several i'm
por.ant arrests.
Rome this evening is in 4 state OF
great excitement, and all sorts OF ru-

made to blow up the chamber OF depu.

into question and her intense hatred
for her husband, to whom her testimony
was most damaging, was shown.
An attempted corrOborRuon OF Mrs.
Foy's story was made. Mrs. Susio Ilor.
ton was called and testified that she
saw FOy and Coughlin together OH May
L., 1889, noar tho Carlson cottage.
Tho defense, however, introduced
testimony to show that on tho day in
question Mrs. Horton was sadly intOXi.
catod. a new md sensational witness
was introduced by tho state In the per.
son OF Frank BGrdcen, m electrical on
ginccr. In May, 1889, he was employed

which tho wagon bearing tho remains
of DIR. Cronin was assumed by tho pros
ecution 10 have gone.
CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL
Bardcen said that about . o'clock on
tho morning Of May 3, ho heard u
wagon passing. Ilc turned OIL IN elcc.
trio search light which was fixed above
tho door and in the glare he saw, he
said, wagon in which was 4 large
chest or trunk. Behind tho wagon
walked two mon, he claimed that one
OF thom ho identified as Coughlin.
Bardeen's testimony was savagGIy at.
tackled BY tho defense. II WAS shown
that no train ran ut tho hour ho said no
lett EdgowA;er tho morning after he
saw the wagon, and evidence was intro
duced TO show that no moon was visi-
bio on the night in question, although
he sworo positively that he first saw
the wagon and mon by moonlight.
Much medical testimony was intro.
duCcd by tho defense to provo that DR..
Cronin's death might have resulted
from disease, and not from tho wounds
found on his body, but itI principal ef-
fort was directed towards establishing
IN alibi. Three witnesses sworo 10
having eeen Coughlin during the ovon-
ing when he was supposed to have been
engaged in the killing, and their testi-
mony was unshakon. Several days
were consumed By the state in rebuttnl
evidence, and lengthy speeches wore
mado by counsel. Throughout tho long
trial tho most intense interest has been
manifested. Tho court room has daily
been thronged by spectators.
