nd he and his associates gave you good evidence of their
sincerity when they went to the cottage or house where this poor
man lives, who can talk but very little of the English language,
and told him that the Court had sent them to find out what he knew.
Yet when he comes here and gives his evidence on the witness stand
they tell him he lied, but they carefully abstained from saying
what they did when they went to see him. You will remember how they
examined him and put words into his mouth that he did not
understand, and then tried to impeach him, but I think you,
gentlemen, will admit that it is proved beyond question that
Coughlin went to the cottage; that he had a key to it in his
pocket; that he was perfectly at home there, and that Kunze drove
him there.

"Then he says old man Carlson did not see Burke there on the night
of the 4th. He could not tell you why the old man did not see him,
although the old man said distinctly that he did; but this we do
know, that the next morning he and his wife were out in front of
the cottage and they saw something on the steps which they say
looked like preserves, and he said to his wife that he supposed
they had been moving in the night before. You will remember that

was a bad day for Dr. Cronin when he moved in."

"The witness said it was about time to fix up," said Mr. Forrest.

"Yes. I think he did. It was a pretty bad time to fix up," retorted
the State's Attorney. "Fix up is a better word, and a nice fix they
made of it. Old man Carlson tells you that the next morning he
thought they had moved in. Forrest says you must not believe old
Carlson, because he is an old man, and that the story about the
wagon tracks he did not tell before the coroner. That is very true,
but he says here that there was a wagon track, and it certainly was
not necessary for the old man to commit perjury in order to prove
that there was a wagon track. A great many thing's have happened
which were not testified to before the coroner's inquest, but
Forrest says that none of them are true. He first complains and
abuses us when getting a jury because there was so much known of
the case and so much
