If /had taken Dan °ought= to the Carlson cottage it would have beett told long ;ago. I wbald have told it when titer kept me In she police Station for ten days. I never used Dan Coughlin's hum and oatueet therefore, give faith testimony, although Sir LAngenecker promised me my liberty if 1 would nay so.

That I ran athund with Dan Coughlan until April 10th, 1889, is true, and that r bore a false 'Jaime on the South side is also true. but all this I have already confessed to the States Attorney. That the others had something to do with this (Cronin) matter I now believe myself, if for no other reason than because of their behaviour in jail. 1 am sure that Burke is one ot the mis- creants. I saw and felt it yesterday. Whou the clothes of Dr. Cronin were brought into the court -room he trembled violently. which is a proof of his guilt. The others were as white as snow. I thank God that 8 have a clear con- science; have nobody to fear, and nothing to make me tremble. Solar es my false name is concerned, that will be cleared up by the Shu- teidt distillery matter, because I was shadowed at that time, and they wanted to take important papers from me, tt his is my confession which I have to make to bir. Longenecker. In the honest hope that nis innocence andthe truth will soon be known, I remain, yours sincerely, Jens P. Rortze. THE LINE OF DEFENCE. The alibi method of defence will be resorted to in the case of Kunze, Coughlin and O'Sullivan. The evidence of Niemann, who saw the three defendants he his saloon near the Carlson cottage an hour atter the murder, and the story of Mrs. Hoertel, the washwomen who heard the death struggle and odes hi the cottage, will be impeached by the defence. It is understood that one of the witnesses for Coughlin will be a man from Han000k, Mich., who will swear to being "James Smith," for whom the detec- tive hired the white borse and buggy. Great stress will be laid on the fact Shed when Dinan's rig was first teken to Mrs. Conklin ehe declared it was not the one which took the doctor away. Ouly a show of defence will be made by John F. Beggs, who feels secure in the belief that the State has not made out a ease against him. Kamm is not so confident of acquittal, and will have eeveral witnessee to swear to his beirig at work and on the South side on the day told night of the murder THE STATE HAS OTHER WITNESSES. In addition to jamas Clancy, the New York reporter, the State intends to have another witnese on hand on Saturday before the close of their case. He is E. 0. Dodge, now a resident of Washington, who overheard a damaging conversation be- tween Beep and Coughlin on the street last April. Doctor Cronin was driving by when Coughlin died : "There he game He .w" ought to be killed before he gete many more buggy rides."

Jamee Knight, another of O'Sullivan's employees, oorroboreted tbe evidence to establish an alibi for the iceman. The. text witness was James Minnehate also an emplhyee of O'Sullivan. Efht testimony was = line with that of hie fellow -work- men. He -testified to distributing the ice- man's cards throughout the neighborhood with* view to working up a trade. Jacob Schnur, a kook -maker, teatifiod that the trunk which le supposed to have contained Cronin's body was niade in his fluttery. It was. be said, a common kind of trunk, whioh has been on the market for Teem, and is sold to dealers inaiscriniin. ately: The lock was of a kind which he was in the habit of buying by the handred dozen. It had been on the market for eight or nine yeare at least. Patrick Brennen, still another employee of O'Sullivan, corroborated further the ice- men's evidence. On oross-examination the fact was brought out that the lawyers for the de. fence got a lot of their witneeses together at O'Sullivan's hones last Sunday and wens over the the testimony in presence of the entire company. The Court then adjourned. • NOTES. MTS. Conklin Melo afternoon saw the wit- ness Mulcahy, but failed to identify him as the men who drove the white horse. The jury is too intelligent to ignore the surroundings of these alibi witnesses. or their prejudices in fever of the accused man and their relationship to him. • The alibi witnesses were a unit in their Positiveness that O'Sullivan was at home between the home of 7 and 10 o'clock on the night of May 4th, and some of them dealsred that the defendant did not , leave the house all night. But is a remarkable fact that the witnesses remembered only one thing—that O'Sullivan was at home when the murder was committed. As to what they did or where they went any time before or after May 4th they had not the faintest recollection. The cross- examining lawyere brought out the fact that last Sunday all these alibi witnessee had met by appointment with the lawyers for the defence io O'Sullivan's house, and prepared their stories together so that there should be no discrepancies. O'Sullivan sinoe.April 4th. lie was not member of the Claneee-Gael. A few day sifter he met O'Sullivan he was with him 00*0 the waggon when theyiriet a Mete leh resort:114*cl Coughlin. The letter asked O'Sul liven if be was well eoquainted at Lake view, and he said yee, and &eked it he knevr a young man netted Kunze; if ha saw him to cc telephone to the Chicago Avenue Pollee Station and tell hita I want to isee him.' Witness had heard 0130119nm apoak of his oontraot with Crania. The witnese, who was an employee of complained that one of his feet hers hin2, and O'Sallie van told witness to go and see Dr. Cronin about it, as he (O'Sullivan) had a contract with Orcrnin so sake osre of his men. This was said in the presence of O'Sul- livan's other men. O'Sullivan 31/30 told the men on another occasion that ha contracted with a dootor to attend anyone that was hart on the the waggon. Witnees said that in the latter part of April Tamen Meehan, one of Sullivan's men, went to the dice of the Lakeview Record, and got a lot of O'Sullivan's newly printed cards. He gave witnese about fifty of them and witoesa diet -Minted them. On the day of the murder witness testified that O'Sullivan and he were on the the waggon and they had sapper togethet. Both read during the evening, going to bed at the same time and sleeping in the same bed. Later on two of O'Sullivan's men and a carpenter, wbo was working there, °erne to the door. They were let in. After that Mrs. Whalen came into the room to get a cot and spoke to O'Sullivan. Witness farther testified that he had heard *he con- vereation between old man Carlson and O'Sullivan about the tenants of Carlson cottage. The old ram testified that 0'8121- liyan said he knew them and that they were all right. Witness testified that O'Sullivan said he knew none of them On orosioexemination mimeo oak] O'Sul- livan was not out of the house after supper, and that he went to bed about 9 o'clock. t he rnen who were outcome in about 10 or 10 30 o'clock. Farther 'emotions elicited the statement that on she night of the murder O'Sullivan got up when the men who were out came to the door and let thein in. The witness got np at about 7 &aim* on the following morning, leaving O'Sullivan in bed. O'Sul- livan, he said, never left the house that night. The *theme' memory as to 'events ionnedietely preceding and following the, night of the murder wee 'defective. The witness said be osme to O'Sullivan with a letter of introduction from O'Sullivan's brother, who lives in Fonda, Iowa. The witness'about seven or eight years ago, had worked 9* Chelsea, Mass., part of the time in the oar barns there, an part of the time in his brother's saloon. Bie brother sub- sequently moved to Wilkesbaree, Pa. " THE PRISONER WANTS TO Tem The cross-examination took an unex- pected sensational turn, the evident inten- tion being to direct suspicion towards the witness as the man who drove the white horse which drew Cronin to his death. The witness, however, denied Viet he had ever worn a beard, or that he allowed his beard to grow two weeks in the leiter part of April last.
