On another occasion the little German saidhisname was Kunze. John P. Dunne, plumber at 907 1 incoln avenue, testified that he was in Cameron's Baloon one night in April when Kunze and Coiighlin entered. Dunne had previously known Kunze. Kunze came to witness whero he had sat at a table and said: "Cotne, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine. " He then introduced me to Dan Conghlin. Coughlin said he and Kunzq were good friend a, and tliat ho would do anything he could for Kunze. Then w4 had some drinks and I went away." Frank O. Washburn, a ealoonkeeper at 15520 Wellington avenue, saw Kunze and O'Suilivan together at his saloon some time in March, They w<ra driving a brown horse attached to a buggy. Kunxs .said he bought the horse from O'Suilivan and had promised to pay more than the horse was worth, so that he wonld get some spending money from his guardian. Wit­ ness rode to his home from the saloon with the two men. The purpose of the testimony was to show tbe intimacy exist­ ing between O'Suilivan and Kunze. Gus Klahre, the tinsmith, testified that one Monday morning i^n the early part of May Martin Burke and an expressman came to his father's tin-shop at 88 North Clark street. "Burke bad a galvanized iron-box about 14x26 inches in size, and he wanted the top soldered on it This Cronin case was in the papers that^norning, and I said something about it/MJurke said he was 'a British spy and ought\p be killed.' " "What else did he say?" "I said it Was queer about Cronin's dis­ appearance, and Burke said: 'Cronin was a (usincr a vile epithet), and ought to be killed.'" "WJ'at did you do with the box?" "I tried to lilt the cover of the box but he pushed my hand away and said: 'Fcr God's sake, don't open tnat,' or something like that." "How was the Vox fastened?" "It was tied with a clothes-line." "He wouldn't let vou open it?" "No. I told him I'd have to take off the cord before I could make a job of it. He said it didn't make any difference how it was done--no matter how rough it might be. So I put a band around the box without takinir off the cord." "How near dicl Burke stay to you while you were fixing tha box?" • "He staid right close to me all the time."

The disappear­ ance of Dr. Cronin was discussed, and Beggs said that he thought he would turn up all right. Ward then interjected that Cronin had skipped out with a woman and would retuHi in a few days after his spree. O'Byrne asseVted that the doc tar had been murdered. At that Beggs turned to the witness and said: "Vou don't know irhat you are talking about, because you don't belong to ths inner circle. We (referring to himself and Ward) are poster!." Dr. John F. Williams, of No. 427 Center street, testified tnat he had known Patrick O'Suiiivan several years; had treated him professionally three or four years: his doctor bill didn't amount to more than $*5 for the whole period. Tfcere were Feveral physicians practicing in the immediate vicinity of O'Sullivan's house Michael Gilbert, a sewer-cleaner, was working on Evanston avenue flushing the sewers. He was assisted by Michael Reese and Frederick Meyer. "What did you find near the corner of Buena and Evanston avenues?" "I went to the manhole and raised the lid and found the hole half full of water. I then went to the next manhole and raised the lid there too, and saw what lookei like a lot of old rags. The flow in the sewer thtre is from north to south." "What did you do?" "I called on Michael Reese to go down into the manhole and pull out the old sachet. I had tried to pull it up, but it was so rotten that it fell to pieces. 1 handed Reese a bucket and he got it under the things, and in that way we got them out We got up a box. It was about eighteen inches long. At first I thought it was a block of woo l, but after we got it out I saw it was a box." "Well, what did you do?" "I lifted it onto the street. Then the smull sachel with both ends off was brought out" "What did you flo then?" "All the things, including the hat and the clothes, were put in a bunch together." "What happened then?" "I told one of the men to go for a patrol wagon. The things got out on the manhole were all put on a stretcher just as they were taken out ot the manhole and put in tho patrol wagon. I did not help to put It in. but I saw it put in when the patrol drove up." Micbaei Reese, one of the sewer cleanors who found the clothss and other articles, was then called to the stand and corrobor­ ated tbe. testimony of the previous wit­ ness. " At this stage the articles found in the sewer were brought into court, ana their | entrance created a little sensation. The ' prisoner l eggs did dot seem to pay any j attention to them.

's store was called to identify the framework of the sachel found in the Lake View sewer Kunze j ^"^ning the clothes. The sensation of the morning was fur­ nished by Mrs. Paulina Hoerbel,'a German woman who lives near the Carlson cottage. "I was passing the Carlson cottage on the night of May 4, some time between5 7 and 8 o'clock, when 1 saw two men in a buggy drive up to the cottage. One of the men got out and went up the .steps. He knocked. Some one came to the door and the man went in." "What kind of looking man was he?" "Big and broad-shoul iered." "Did he have anything in his handf" , "Yes, he carried something like a sachel. It looked as though it might be a surgeon's case." "What kind of a horse was it that drew the buggy?" "It was white." There was a bu«z of excitement at this, for any one in the court room could not but remember tbe color of the horse which on May 4 Dan Coughlin hired "for his friend Smith." The witness stopped in front of the cot­ tage and h -ard the sounds of tbe death struggle. When the tall man entered the house some one immediately closed the door. Then there was the noise of u great struggle. Sh« heard sounds as though heavy blows were being dealt some one. Then she beard some one cry out: "Ob, my God!" "There were a few more noises as of some one struggling." said the witness, "and then all was still." "After tne man went into the cottage," continued the witness, "the man who was yet in the buggy turned away and drove south on Ashland avenue." "Did you not hear the word 'Jesus' ?" "I did. I heard some oue cry out, 'O God! O Jesus!' and then there was the sound as of some one crying or moaning, and the sound of blows. Then it sounded as though some one fell, and there were more blows, and I heard something sound like something breaking. Then I heard more cries and moana, and then the sounds seemed to die away and all was still." "What did the noise sound like?" "It sounded as if some people were fight­ ing in there, and then alter the blows all was still." * The witness seemed to be an unsophisti­ cated German woman, and the evidenca she was giving was so plainly a truthful state­ ment of facts that it impressed every one as being the last link in the chain of cir­ cumstantial evidence which .the State promised to weld around the accused. The appearance of Burtte and Cough- lin's faces during the recital of the actual murder of Dr. Cronin was mo>-e grave than at any time during the trial. Each man seemed completely paralyzed by the evidence. Mr. Forrest bad always main­ tained that Dr. Cronin could not be traced to the cottage on that night. While Mrs. Hoertel did not positively identify Dr. Croni \ her description of him. the cir­ cumstances of the white horse, the instru ment case the men took from the buggy, and every incident shows as clearly that the dojtor was in that cottaze on May 4, at 8 o'clock, as though a photograph of the men was exhibited to the jury. A look of blank despair seemed to cover Coughlin'* faee, and the first expression of real anxiety which Burke has shown since the beginning of the trial came over bis countenance. Kunze did not appear affected by the witness' story, and O'Suili­ van was as stolid as ever. The attorney for the defense took the witness all over her route from her own house to the time she heard the noises in the Carlson cottage, after seeing the white horse. She repeated without devia­ tion the answers given in her direct examination as to the streets she traveled before reaching the pottage. Judge Wing drew from the witness the statement that the night of May 4 was a bright, star-lit nigbt, and that there was no lamp-post nearer the Carlson cottago than a block distant and that she was not nearer the white horse than the "distance across the court room." There was not a new fact developed on the cross-examina­ tion. • On the re-cross-examination Judge Wing questioned the witness as to her whereabouts and occupation each day from May 1 to May 10, and Mrs. Hoertel knew every event occurring in this period. Henry Folanski, restaurant and hotel keener, was the next witness called. In reply to his question be said: • "I was employed last Mfijr in Mr. Bach- arach's shirt store, S*S North CI ark street. I was there Sunday May 5, and sold some shirts there that day." Witness then told of a man coming in between U and 9:15 in the morning and asking for a shirt. In order to insure a fit witness asked him to remove his coat that he might be measured, which tue man with an oath declined to do. He bought a shirt and two collars^ He then went out and across the street where witness saw him talking td his part­ ner, who then came in aud alsA bought a shirt. The ; econd tn&n was much smaller than the first. The little fellow wore • a woolen shirt and the big fellow wore a white shirt.* Both ha I their coats but­ toned to their throats and the collars up about their uocks. The larger man he had tesn since that time; he was now in court; was the second man in the row of prison­ ers.

[SPBClA^CHtCAGO COftBSSPONDKNCK.] The elections'betog over, public attentiononee mom turns to the approaching session of Con­ gress, as one of the most Important things to be decided by that body is the location of the World's Fair. That question, it is hoped, will receive the earliest attention from members, and be determined without a day 's avoidable de­ lay. A'he time for preparation is short, considering the amount of work that mast be don-) in ordec to insure such an exposition of the -world's pro­ gress in arts, sciences and industries as will satisfy the pride and ambition of the American people. That Chicago will secure the Exposition • is now conceded on all Bides. Even tho leading daily papers of New York City, after careful de­ liberation, have come to the conclusion that the majority of the people of New York would prefer to Lave the Exposition located in Chicago. ] The New York Herald and Times, tho two most influential journals in the Eastern I metropolis, in speaking of the slowness with which subscriptions to the New York gnaran- I tee fund of the Fair ar® coming in, mildly ex- j press the disgust that is fast growing among , the people of that city. The Herald Baya : "In i comparison with the fashion in which that Worm's Fair fund is rolling up, the speed of a snail is so rapid that it positively takes ou* breath away. "There is a curious Impression abroad of which the pubiic mind ought to be disabused at once. This fund, fellow-citizens, is for the Columbus Exposition of 1892--that is to say. for the four hundredth anniversary of the dls^ covery of America, not for -an Exposition five hundred years from now.nor for the thousandth anniversar y o f that great hi storie even t. "If we are preparing for a celebration in the year 2 >92 we might congratulate ourselves upon having made a pretty good start, with a fair prospect of raising the necessary sum in time. Wo shall not be here, however, on that magnifi­ cent occasion, unless the elixir of life turns out to be more effective than it has been, and, there- fore, leave to our descendants the responsibility j of that occasion. I "As for the Exposit'on ofl8T2, we must either 1 claim it at once or surrender our rights to that ' young giant of the West, Chicago, who has i jmlled out his wallet, plethoric with big bills,and 1 planked it down in guarantee of his good faith. I New-Yorkers don't run much to monuments and I expositions aud such things, and every acre of ' the par!- is so precious that we shall probably ! end by breaking every man on the wheel who votes to tear up one of its grass blades or scrapo the moss from one of its rocks. Chicago has no reverence for national beauties and is enter­ prising enough to carry the protect through if it takes every park she own?. After all. New York is the best monument of the republic, and it is itself an exposition of all that is noblest and grandest in modern civilization. Perhaps it is the proud consciousness of these laots which causes us to delay. Let Chicago take the hint and go ahead." The recent canvass to learn the preferences of Congressmen throughout the country, made by another New York daily, presents one of the strongest proofs thus Jar obtained of Chicago's glowing prospects of success. Letters weie sent to all the members, aud iu the 140 replies received Chicago leads with 40. Now York comes next with 33, Washington 13, St. Louis 8. Chat­ tanooga 1. Forty-five Congressmen declined to declare themselves* The vote in favor of Chi­ cago is distributed as follows: For Chicago, Illinois 11. Indiana 3, Iowa 7, Kansas 2, Michi­ gan 5, Pennsylvat ia 2, Nebraska 1, Ohio 5, Ver­ mont 1, Virginia 1, Wisconsin 2.. New York claims: New York, 23, Connecticut 2, Georgia 1, New Jersey 1, Pennsylvania 2, Rhode Island 1, Tennessee 1, Vermont 1, Virginia 1. Washing­ ton's thirteen votes aro distributed as follows: Louisiana 1, Maine 1, Maryland Maetiachu- setts 1, Pennsylvania 3. Texas 1, Virginia 1, North Carolina 1. St. Louis brings up tne rear with 6 voteB from Missouri and 2 from Arkan­ sas. From this showing the New York paper reaches the amusing conclusion that that city ia sure to secure tho majo)i;y in Corgiess. ft reads Washington out of the contest because, as it says, its support comes mainly from Maryland and tho South, and several of these votes will naturally come to New York. The faptr also lays St. Louis out, notwithstanding Jav Gould pledges and asserts that her votes 'in be divided between New York City and Chicago. It also congratulates itself btcauso only flvo out of the nino replies received from Ohio favor Chicago, and because of this it Bays a close calculation of tho probable canvass of votes in C ngress, based on replies, is as follows: For New York--New York 31, Alabama 0, Arkansas 2, California 1, Indiana 3, Connecticut 4, Delaware 1, Georgia V, Kentucky 8, Louisiana 2, Maine 3, Massachusetts 11, Mis­ sissippi 5, Nebraska 1.

Kesume--New York, 141; Chicago, 123; Wash­ ington, 40; St. Louis, 21; scattering 5--total 830. Necessary to a choice 106. The fact is New York will hardly get a vote in any one of most of the States she claims. The expressed second choice of tho Arkansas dele­ gation will be divided between St. Louis aud Chicago. Alabama will be evenly divided be­ tween the four competing cities. Indiana may give one vote to St. Louis, but that will be all. Koiiiucky will support Chicago with hardly an exception, Nebraska will be solid for this city, and North and South Carolina will give Chicago some votes. New York will not get a single vote in Texas, aud conceding New York's claim to be correct in the main, so far as Chicago is concerned, this city will have a decided lead at the opening of the balloting. The publication is practically an admission of this on the part of one of New York's influen­ tial advocates. E. T. Jeffery. Chicago's World's Fair Commis­ sioner at Paris, has cabled from that city that the Journal des Debats has a half column favor­ ing Chicago's claims, and saying that it has pri- I vate advices that Chicago will have the expo- | sition, and also that tin Paris Herald says: "A cable from New York shows plurality of Con­ gress in favor of Chicago." This is pleasing evidence of Chicago's grow- I ing strength not only in tills country but ; abroad. All over America and Europe the ; splendid fight that Chicago has made against such immense odds aud the prestige of New | York has creatcd profound admiration. Two j months ago European journals took it for | granted that New York would be accorded the t fair, .without any serious contest. Now pub­ lic sentiment has changcd to such an j extent that not only has the Journal des Debuts reached the conclusion that Chicago will get the fair, but Le Petit Journal, one of the 1 most influential and most widely circulated newspapers of Europe, says : "It was prema­ ture to assume in France that the exposition of the fourth centenary of the discovery of Amer­ ica would take place in New York "City. The question will only be decided at tho next session of Congress, and the city of Chicago has by no means given up the hope of being designated. It has sent to Paris two commissioners, M. Jeffery. who is to be the Director General of tho future expo8it:'ou, and M. Chanute, the Chief Engineer. These gentlemen arrived in Paris a few days ago, and to-day they will call upon M. Berger and M. Alphand to ask of them general information concerning the organization of our exposition. A capital of 50,000,000 francs has already been secured in order that the work may begin immediately when Chicago is se­ lected." Mr. Jeffery, in his private letters, says there is a widespead interest in Europe in the Exposi­ tion movement, and espocially in Chicago's ef­ forts to secure Congressional recognition. He says 1 hat all Europeans are ready to concede the justness of Chicago's claims, and it is the de- i cided opinion that exhibitors would not hesi­ tate to come here in the event of the fair being located in the city. | Tho New Orljans City Council has placed an- 1 other sod on the St. Ix>uis boom by refusing to pass a resolution indorsing that city for the World's Fair. Some days ago and after the New Orleans Hoard of Trade bad indorsed Chicago tho St. liouis committee conceived tho idea of opposing that action l>v secuiing official recog­ nition from the City (Council. A Commit loner was sent to New Orleans charged with tho im­ portance of convincing the Aldermen that St. Jxmts was the only available city, and when a resolution came up in the Council a week ago tho matter was referred to a committee. This was in accordance with the views of tho fit. Louis commissioner, and ho Biicceeded in securing the good favor of the ma­ jority of th© committee,"which reported last Tuesday night to the council. In the meantime Chicago's adherents had become aware ot the in­ tentions of tho St. Louis people, aud when the resolution indorsing Kt. I«>nis was presented by the committee to the council a m.oti< n to table I was made and carried, thereby defeating the aspirations of St. Louis, and gaining, as it is, a double victory for Chicago.

Up, Msdo tbe Bsceytsds ftoWtlM Mluingr Ariiclei, Dr. Cronin's clothing and surgical huftya. menfes have been found. They were dlft- covered la a aewer in Lake View. Mm T. T. Conklin and others have folly identi­ fied them. Lieut. Koch, of the Sheffield avenue po* lice station, notified Chief of Police Hub­ bard that some clothing and surgical instru­ ments had been found in his district. 8np£. Hubbard ordered the articles to be brought to his office. Within an hour the Lake View patrol wagon arrived at the City Hall, and the mass of slimy clothing and surgi­ cal cases were carried into Chief Hub­ bard's private office. Mrs. Conkling had been Bent for in the meantime, and she reached the office shortly after the Cloth­ ing was brought in. * It was almost impossible to identify any article of clothing. Tbey were covered with slime from lying so long ia the sewer, and a sickening stench, arose from the mass. But there was no mi«t«irii>g th* surgical case. A small leather pocket-case filled with instruments was the first article Mm Conklin identified. This inscription is 1 Wm. Bagneil " V.'. Hawy Cronin. .. I Mrs. Conklin had seen the case hun­ dreds of times, but even if she had never seen it the inscription showed that it be­ longed to the dead doctor. Better evi­ dence than that could not be obtained. Two prescription blanks found among the clothing were filled out, and the writ­ ing, though somewhat obliterated, could be read without any difficulty. Both of the prescriptions were signed "Cronin." Mrs. Conklin recognized the doctor's sig­ nature. One of the prescriptions was to have been filled at Cowan's drug store, No. 4<i5 North Clark street, and the other at F. B. Schneider's, No. 311 North avenne. A silver hypodermic case, filled with needles, was in as good a state of preserva­ tion as on May 4. It was fully identified as Dr. Cronin's. A black valise, containing surgical In­ struments, was covered with mud Mrs. Conklin was unable to say whether it belonged to the doctor or not. But there is no doubt of it She identified a small box, however, containing copper splint*. The b<»c is finished in cherry and is about 12 inches long by 8 inches in depth. A handle is on the lid, but the hinges had become detached, and when opened the lid came off. There was an assortment of splints in the box, of various sizes; also a dictionary containing English, German, French and Italian medical terms. A black sloutch hat, which Mrs. Conk­ lin fully identified as Dr. Cronin's, wa» about the only article of clothing she could positively say belonged to him. The coat, trousers, shirt, collar and under­ wear were all found intact, but they were in a state almost beyond recognition, owing to the filth upon them. There is no doubt, however, hut that every article belonged to the dead doctor and was taken from his body, and proba­ bly at the Carlson cottage. Nobody will question that. - , The* mass of stuff was found with the frame of a large sachel around it, and it looks as if the articles had been inclosed in a cheap valise and that the sides of it had rotted awav. In this connection it will be remembered that J. B. Simonds. the man who bought the furniture at He veil's asked 8ele&man Hatfield for "a large, ch^ap valise." The valise was sent over to the Clark street fiat, an<ffrom there it was taken to the Carlson cottage by Martenson, the exprese- man. It was shown by Mr. Hatfield that the valise was a cheap pasteboard affair. Only the frame of it was found clinging to the clothes and instruments, and part of the slime on tho clothing is undoubtedly its sides which had rotted away. After a partial examination of the clothing and instruments the outfit was taken to the State'3 attorney's office. At the State's attorney's otlice Mrs. Conklin examined the clothing more care­ fully, and although she could not positively identify the i coat or trousers, she was satisfied in her own mind that they be­ longed to tbe late Dr. Cronin. One signifi­ cant fact about the discovery of the c oth- ing is that the shoes or stockings were- not found * The finding of Dr. Cronin's clothes and surgical instruments was an accident, and not the result of a deliberate search. This was tbe case in tbe finding of the body. Asa sanitary measure two men wore put at work some days ago flushing the Lase View 6ewers. All went well for some time, until the water began to rise in one of the manholes on Evanston avenue, aoout a quarter oi a mite soutn ot where the trunk was found the day after the murder. AD examination of the manhole was made by Michael Reese and Mr. Gilbert, the two men employed nearest to it. The result was that the articles described above were discovered and turned over to the police. The workmen naturally enough came to the conclusion that they had found Dr. Cronin's clothing and instru­ ments, and upon investigation this turned out to be true Later in the day Joseph Turner, another workmen . for the city, found Dr. Cronin's sooks and a tin box of plasters further down the sewer near the lake. It is believed that the shoes have been flooded out into the lake. Among the clothing found is a pair of blue en­ ameled sleeve buttons which Mrs. Conk­ ling also identified.' The articles found will be used In ^ the trial. Most of the garments, especially the trousers, are cut open, showing that they were hurriedly cut from the bleeding body or the slain doctor. Upon second examination, and after the filth was re­ moved, it was apparent that they were soaked in human blood. The next day the police, on search, dis­ covered a piece of carpet which has been identified by Salesman Hatfield as identical with that be sold to the man " Simonds11 for the Clark street fiat. •V-*» .'j-sr / ' s • .
