e pay-roll every
month--this man gave him to understand that something else must be
done. Then O'Sullivan goes to work and has a new card printed in
April. He gets them just before the 4th of May. It is a different
card from the one he gave Dr. Cronin. He had no idea that the new
card would ever land on the mantelpiece of the house where Dr.
Cronin resided; he had no idea that card would ever again face him.
He did not expect this, because they try to prove that he got a
bunch of new cards for distribution. His idea was this: That if
they claimed that the card was presented for the Doctor to go to
his house he could say the town was full of those cards. Don't you
see? He was getting a new card printed which was to be used in
drawing the Doctor out there. But it was never intended to be left
in the possession of Dr. Cronin. If it was they supposed the Doctor
would stick it in his pocket. O'Sullivan had no idea that any
living soul would see that card thereafter. It was for a purpose,
anyway.

"Now we have all this arranged; we have the whole thing 'amicably
settled;' that was the way in which it was to be done. We have the
cottage rented, the contract with the Doctor; now it is all
'amicably settled'--just how we are going to complete the work; we
don't need district officers or outside help; it is all arranged;
the work will be completed."

BEGGS' ENMITY TOWARD CRONIN.

"Now we will tell you about other things in this case before we
come to the 4th of May. You will remember that in September John F.
Beggs was walking down the street with Mr. O'Keefe, and Mr. Flynn,
and they were discussing Dr. Cronin. Beggs said Dr. Cronin was not
fit to belong to the Irish cause. When you brand an Irishman as not
being fit to belong to the Irish cause it means that he is a man to
be held in contempt by the Irish people. Beggs gave as a reason
that he had taken Dan Coughlin in without ever initiating him, and
O'Keefe, said he was going to investigate it. I have no doubt that
somebody filled up Beggs in reference to Dr. Cronin. I have no
doubt somebody stood behind him telling him what a terrible man he
was; that he was always creating disturbances in the order; that
somebody talked him up in this matter until he got to be senior
guardian.
