e
accessory is the same as the principal. It does not matter whether
either of these parties struck the deadly blow; it does not matter
whether they were a thousand miles away from the cottage--if it was
a conspiracy and they were accessories to the crime, then they are
principals to the crime just as much as if they helped to strike
the deadly blow. For instance, three men may enter into a
conspiracy, knowing that you have $1,000 in your house. You may
live between Thirtieth and Thirty-first streets, on State. The
three men go to rob your house. One stands at Thirtieth street and
the other at Thirty-first street, and the other goes in and robs
you of your money. All of these three men have committed burglary.
The men who stood on the street corners are just as guilty as the
man who went inside for the purpose of stealing your money.

"When you take this evidence into consideration, when you take the
fact that this man Coughlin hired the horse, and another fact that
after Dinan had gone to the station and Coughlin said: "Don't say

trouble, because Cronin and I were not friends": when you consider
that he claimed that the man for whom the horse and buggy were
hired was named Smith; that he was sent out to hunt Smith and saw
Smith and let him go; when you consider the hiring of the flat at
117 Clark street, the buying of the furniture and the trunk and the
strap, the renting of the cottage, the contract between the doctor
and this man O'Sullivan; the statement that a sister was to be
there to occupy the cottage; the driving of the doctor from his
home under the supposition that he was going to minister to the
wants of an injured man; the appointment of a secret committee at
the instance of Dan Coughlin; the fact that the senior guardian
said that the committee reported to him and not to the camp; the
statements that Dr. Cronin was a spy--the grouping together of all
these things makes the conspirators as guilty as if the murder was
the act of one man.

AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE.

"And, gentlemen, if, after hearing this evidence, you are satisfied
that Dr. Cronin was murdered; if you are satisfied from the
evidence that this thing has been deliberated upon from the 8th day
