evidence we gathered from the very men who were the associates of
Dan Coughlin.

"Now there is more in that, gentlemen, than you can think of. When
you couple it with Dan Coughlin's expression to Dinan, 'Don't say
anything because I have had trouble with Dr. Cronin--because they
know I am his enemy,' it is very significant. Why did they know it?
He had told Garrity he wanted to see Sampson; he told Sampson he
wanted him to slug Dr. Cronin, and he had whispered into the ears
of O'Connor that Cronin was a spy. He had charged in a North Side
saloon that a prominent North Side Catholic would soon be
destroyed. On every corner he had raised his hand against Dr.
Cronin. In the lodge he moved to appoint this secret committee to
investigate Dr. Cronin, and when you couple it all together it is a
good piece of evidence in this case, as tending to show the
direction in which Daniel Coughlin was moving at the time he
uttered the words."

TRUE TO THE IRISH CAUSE.

"Now, gentlemen, I want to say, before I pass on to the 4th of May,
and I think it is due from me, as a public prosecutor, to say this:
You have seen from day to day that we have called on the stand
unwilling witnesses from Camp 20, and I want to say this, that the
best patriots in the Irish cause to-day are the men we got on the
stand to tell you the truth in reference to this case--Thomas
O'Connor, and Henry Owen O'Connor, Patrick Dolan and Patrick
McGarry. They are the best patriots that have appeared on the face
of the globe. Here are men that stood up in this court-room and
dared to tell the truth of what had happened in Camp 20, and I feel
that it is due upon this occasion to say that the Irish cause never
had better patriots than these men who came afterward and testified
to the truth and to tell you where this hellish conspiracy
originated. They have the nerve to come and tell us where it began,
in order that the law might be vindicated; in order that the death
of Patrick Henry Cronin might be avenged. I say this because it is
due to them. Their evidence is undisputed. It has not been
contradicted; they came out with clean hands.

"As to Sampson, I do not care what the attorney may say in regard
to him. As to Garrity, I think both of them deserve credit for
coming forwar
