nd pitcher, the trunk
(the valise and strap were inside the trunk) and all the articles
that this man Simonds had purchased, to 117 South Clark street. The
shipping clerk Neahr, who packed the goods testified that the goods
taken over there were the same as those bought by Simonds. This was
followed by the evidence of McHale, the carpet layer, who said he
laid the carpet in the front room of 117 Clark street; that Simonds
appeared there and was very easy about the matter, not caring just
how the carpet was laid, and he had the carpet laid in the front
room. It is not for us to say what the objecting was in renting the
flat at 117 Clark street; it is true that that number was selected;
it is true that this furniture was purchased; it is true that the
trunk was purchased and went with this furniture. Now we find that
the only living person identified as occupying the room, in which
this furniture was placed and the carpet laid, is the man Kunze. He
was seen there with another man taller than himself. They were seen
there frequently during the time the flat was occupied by this man
Simonds, and Kunze was the man who was identified as being in that
flat at the time. That is testified to by James, testified here in
a manner that must convince you that he was telling the truth,
because, in his evidence, he was not over-anxious about anything
else. When the learned counsel for the defense asked him if he had
ever been mistaken about men he had seen on the street, James said
he might have been, that such a thing could happen, but he was not
mistaken as to Kunze being the man who was in the flat. That
evidence was before you, and that is the first time Kunze appears
in this case, with the exception, perhaps, of his trip with
Coughlin down to Peoria, which was in relation to another matter,
and was only shown for the purpose of letting the jury know the
intimacy that existed between Coughlin, the chairman of the
committee and this man who was seen in the flat. He is just the
kind of character, just the kind of man that Daniel Coughlin would
have selected to occupy that room.

"This flat is occupied. We have shown that the furniture was moved
in there, that the trunk was moved in, that the valise and all the
articles purchased at Revell's were moved into that
