. One-half mile south in a
catch-basin was found the body of Dr. Cronin. The wagon was seen to
be empty just three-quarters of a mile from where the body was
found and the bloody trunk was found in the bushes. In the
catch-basin there was cotton. In the trunk there was cotton--when
Dr. Cronin left home he had in his arms cotton--and further on just
a quarter of a mile we find that Dr. Cronin's clothes were in a
sewer.

"Recollect that when they were last seen with this trunk it was at
Edgewater, at 1 o'clock. The clothes were found just north of Buena
avenue in the sewer with a satchel, and it turns out now that the
satchel in all its measurements and appearance and quality and size
is identical with that which Simonds bought, and that Burke moved

ground, and seeing that satchel and the trunk on the road and the
clothes in the sewer--with the evidence of the cries in the
cottage--the card of O'Sullivan taking him there, will you tell me
that you have any doubt as to where this crime was committed or

in reference to these men and can you come to any other conclusion
than that these men are guilty?"

"But the cottage was not discovered on the day the body was
discovered. On the night of the 22d of May Captain Schuettler tells
you that he put a guard there, and next morning he, with Captain
Wing, visited this Carlson cottage, which is almost under the
doorsteps of this defendant, O'Sullivan, within ten seconds' walk.
They examined and they found what was said to be blood and the
floor painted over. On the Sunday morning, the 5th--the morning
after Wardell saw these two men enter the cottage, he saw spots of
blood on the wall. They found the carpet gone, the trunk gone, the
trunk strap not there, but the furniture was there. The pillows
were without cases, the bureau was standing out from the wall and
there was the chair with its arm broken and evidence of the crime
having been committed there.

"In the cottage was found the key, and the learned counsel says he
