spends nearly the whole of that time on our
evidence and but fifteen minutes on his own. Forrest did quote a
little Scripture, so did the devil. Forrest talked about Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, about whom his Sunday-school teacher taught
him. He said that they disagreed; and because they disagreed, he
tried to argue, that Mrs. Conklin and the young ladies who
corroborated her, must have lied because they agreed. The only
thing that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have to do with this case
is that they all point to Calvary, and, gentlemen, the evidence in
this case points to Calvary [Cronin was buried at Calvary]. It was
easy for him to deny the truth of our testimony, and especially
that of Mrs. Hoertel, but he didn't attack Mrs. Hoertel's
character. Why? Because they knew it was spotless."

"Now, the gentleman says there are other witnesses, and among them
Dinan, has an interest in the museum, and all that. Why, Dinan made
the statement he made here before the coroner's inquest. The same
statement he made here, he made in the presence of Dan Coughlin,

who gave her testimony before the coroner, and who made her
statement the very day after Dr. Cronin disappeared. What has he
said but that he would have you believe she was sitting there
committing willful and deliberate perjury; this woman who felt that
Dr. Cronin was gone; who felt he was dead, who charged O'Sullivan
with being in the conspiracy before she could induce the officers
of the law to believe anything was wrong. He would have you
believe, as he said, that she lied while upon the stand, and yet
you noticed how she gave her evidence. The same tactics were
pursued with Conklin and all the other witnesses. It was asserted
that all of it came out after the coroner's inquest. Why look at
it. He talked about the horse and well knows that she described
and that she mentioned about his knees when before the coroner. Her
identification of that horse was like your identification w
