HE CRONIN TRIAL, Vitnesses Who Saw the Mid- night Expedition, SPELLMAN QONTRADIOTS HIMSELF, wn Wt A Reticont nnd Reluetant Witness—The Testimony of Poll Officers Corrobor. ates Waondruft®s ory of the Night Ride~lcoman O'Sullivan's Damaging Comments on the Crime. Cricaco, Nov. 5, —gdward Spellman, of Peoria, Ills., was the first witness called in the Cronin trial, was a member of Great Eastern Distill- ing company. zection with the Clan-na-Gael and pro- fewsed to have only hearsay kmewledge of an organization by that name. Ho said hoe was a member of the United Brotherhood. The witness then on to testify that he was district officer of District No. 18, embracing Ilinois | and Michigan, He said he was the highest officer in the district, and that | his duties were laid down by the con- stitution. As the examination of the witness pro- ceeded it became evident that he was an unwilling witness and that his testi- mony was different from that he gave | before the grand jury and from what the prosecution expected. ie said he met Beggs on April 29, and he said the | matter referred to in their correspond- | ence, viz, that the proceedings of the trial committee had been read in a cer- tain camp in violation of the rules, had been amicably settled. Mr. Spellman then testified that he knew Dan Coughlin, who, with a man Kunze, had visited Peoria a year ago and presented a letter of introduction. He had no conversation with Coughlin about Dr, Cronin, A Contradictory Witness This was in direct contradiction of Spellman’s previous testimony, and he was asked by Mr. Longenecker if he had not sworn that Coughlin spoke to him about Dr. Cronin. There was a long wrangle over this question, which was finally allowed, and Mr. Spellman answered: “I said before the grand jury that in the conversation with Coughlin at Peoria that he said Cronin was a -, but, on reflection and on con- sultation with the other two men pres- ent, 1 sent my attorney to Chicago to notify the district attorney that [ was mistaken. My attorney was unable to find Judge Longenecker, so I came my- self specially to Chicago and notified Judge Longenecker and the other coun- sel that if they asked me that question on the stand 1 zhould have to deny it in order to do justice to my own self and to the facts. After ! left the grand jury room and went hone and slept I felt an- noyed and troubled. I felt that I had possibly done a wro to Mr. Coughlin, and I went immediately ta Mr. Fallon's and Mr. Dow 1s told them what | had sworn to before the grand jury, and that 1 was bothered about it They Said, ‘Mr. Spelima vou have made a istake: no mversation took place," " O'Sullivan's Commer Annie Farrar, a w patron of O'Sullivan called. She testific called at her house taking ice. The wi man about the find ard said: “It is decoy a man away i that.” To this O'Su an replied: “They say he isa Pritish spy and has given away the secrets a certain order and if he did t ought t killed. He got no served.” S. 8. Steib, an ex. an, testif that on the night o § be tioned at the corner Copper and Ful- lerton streets. About half past 11 o'clock he noticed a horse and wagon, the latter containin: a large trunk, being driven east on Fullerton street. There, were three men in the wagon, but the witness was unable to say how they were dressed and, in fact, gave very lit- tle attention to the entire rig, as there was nothing suspicious about it or its occupants. Witnesses of the Midnight Expedition, Officer Johp A. Smith swore that on the night of May 4 he saw a long wagon containing a large box and three men hitched to a bay or dark colored horse, driving north on Clark street near Frederick street a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The men were dressed in dark clothes. One of the men wore a slouch hat and the driver, the smallest one of the three, a stiff hat. Just after pulling his box at 2 a. m. on the same night the witness noticed the same vehicle and men on Clark street, near Diverse street, driving south. The box was still in the wagon. The was dumped into the catch basin at Fifty-ninth street and Evanston avenue, about two miles from Fredenck and Clark streets, From the where the wi such s on the Murder. yw, and a former the ice dealer, was that O'Sullivan i May to see about “spoke to the ice- f Cronin's body, thing fearful to murder him like }y De about a half hour's ride and from Fred- erick street to the lake, where the mur- derers first took the body, thence to the catch basin, and back to Divorces street, would require about two hours to drive over. John Way, a special officer of Edge- water, testified to having seen them on the eventful night about 1 o'clock and within two blocks of the lake shore in : Kase water. The driver, the only one in w, ' drive, he was off the track. Just then two men came up from the lake, the driver shouting to them as soon as he heard them, “This watchman says the drive is not this way.” Witness gave the neces. sary direction and they drove off.

Garrity, an ex-saloon keeper, was next called to corroborate the testi- mony “Maj” Sampson gave yester- day to the effect that he had been sent to Coughlin by witness and asked by Coughlin to *‘slug” Dr. Cronin. Gar. rity swore that Coughlin two years ago asked him if he thought Sampson would do a. job for him. Witness asked of what the job consisted and was told by Coughlin that he wanted a man slugged in the neck with a club or bat. Witness saw Sampson and sent him to Coughlin, On cross examination by Forrest wit- ness said that he suggested to Coughlin that such slugging might kill the man | upon which Coughlin replied it wouldn't matter much if it did, For a Defense Fond, OMICAG0, Nov. 4.—Aboui 13 of the | Clan-na-Gael enemies of Dr. Cronin at- tended a meeting in McCoy's hotel ¥ Oe | terday afternoon for the purpose of rais- ing a defense fund for the men new on trial.

He also ex- pressed a wish that his wifé might be buried at his side, At the time of Gen. leath New York came quickly to Grant's d forward with its offer to provide a rest ing place, Now, however, influential Grand Army men have asked that the body be removed to Arlington and | arrangements hav made to allow of Mrs. Grant's being buried at the same place.
