ot conspire, two men may
conspire; oftener three men conspire, and it is easier to commit a
crime where two men are engaged in working it out in different
ways, engaged in bringing about in different ways the same results,
than where the same object is aimed to be accomplished by one man.
Now, it is not necessary, as the Court will instruct you, that we
prove that the parties got together and talked the matter over and
arranged it; that is not necessary; the law does not require that;
we don't need to prove that they ever came together. If that was so
it would be very seldom that a prosecutor could obtain a conviction
in a conspiracy case. Remember this is a charge of murder, brought
about by a conspiracy, and we claim that this evidence shows
conclusively that a conspiracy was concocted by these defendants on
trial. Let us see where we go to start in. Where do we learn of
this conspiracy first?"

CAMP 20'S MYSTERIOUS MEETINGS.

"You remember that there is a Camp 20 in this city. It is proven
here that the Clan-na-Gael organization has a camp called Camp 20,
also named Columbia Club; that they met in North Side Turner Hall,

in this city last year in the month of June. You will remember that
Dr. P. H. Cronin was one of the members appointed on that trial
committee, and that after that trial committee had acted, the two
factions were united and the camps were renumbered. I speak of
that, and I want you to bear it in mind, that Dr. Cronin was on
that committee, and that it was shown that there were three men
called trianglers who were being tried by the committee of which
Dr. Cronin was a member. Now we will stop there, and go to this
Camp 20, on the 8th day of February. You go into that camp. We call
the secretary here, Jo
