haack, and when he goes there he also sees Daniel
Coughlin. Coughlin wants to know what is the trouble, and asks him
to say nothing about it, 'because,' he says, 'it is understood I am
an enemy of Dr. Cronin, and Cronin is missing.' That was what
occurred on the 6th day of May. This was the first utterance of
Coughlin in reference to the white horse or to there being any
charge that he was responsible for it. He knew then that Mrs.
Conklin and Frank Scanlon had identified the horse, and he knew,
without having to bring a witness from New Jersey, that the horse
that drove Dr. Cronin away was the horse that his friend got from
this stable.

"You remember now that Coughlin was sent to find the man. Dinan did
not stop there; he sent word to Schaack and Schaack sent to the
chief, and Schaack had his orders from the chief to send Coughlin
to find out who hired the white horse at that time. This was on May
6. Then, if you remember, the evidence shows that they were out
hunting for the object that had evidently been in that trunk, and
did not find it until the 22d day of May."

THE FINDING OF THE BODY.

"On the 22d day of May some men who were looking after the health
of the community, cleaning catch basins in Lake View, lifted the
lid of one of the basins and saw the body of a man. That body was
taken out and brought to the morgue in Lake View, and identified as
that of Dr. Cronin. Up to this time the word had gone out. Coughlin
supposed it was all right. P. O'Sullivan was on his ice wagon again
and handling ice. It was the right kind of business for him to be
in. Up to this time Burke was visiting his friend in Joliet, and at
work in a ditch, telling him that he had been working at the stock
yards. Up to the finding of this body they all thought 'there is no
danger now; our verdict is sealed and it is returned to him alone
[pointing in the direction of Beggs]. No one has a right to know
except the senior guardian; we are in no danger. Dan Coughlin
signed his pay rolls all the same; Patrick O'Sullivan handled his
ice; Burke worked in the ditch, and this body was found. It was
found just half a mile from where that committee of three were seen
at Edgewater--a mile south of Evanston avenue, where they had the
tool chest or trunk seen by Officer Way
