saloon, and
seen with O'Sullivan in the middle of April riding, and seen by
Mertes going to the cottage on the 4th of May, and saying to a man
under the assumed named of Petrowsky that he had an occupied house
in Lake View; and he might go there and have lots of fun, and
following that, that his friend excused himself and did not go.
That is Kunze. P. O'Sullivan talks to Mr. Carlson, and says to him:
'Is the cottage rented?' Then he talks about deputies and taking
them into the brotherhood, and his card is presented while he is
out of town. Then Coughlin, with his threats, with his desire to
have Cronin slugged; Coughlin's motion for the secret committee;
Coughlin whispering that Cronin is a spy; Coughlin's charge to
Dinan, 'Don't say anything about it, for Cronin and I are enemies;'
Coughlin telling the chief of police, when asked about the man for
whom he hired the horse and buggy, that it was Smith--all this is
sufficient. The chief asked: 'Where did you know Smith?' and
Coughlin answered 'John Ryan, of Hancock, sent him to me.' When in
Winnipeg Burke was asked to whom he wrote, and he said: 'John Ryan,
of Hancock, Mich.--my friend.' Coughlin said to the chief: 'John
Ryan, of Hancock, Mich., sent him to me.'"

THE GREAT CONSPIRACY.

"See the connection; see the arrangements! Take Coughlin's
statement that the white horse and buggy was hired for a man named
Smith. He was so anxious, so careful to tell Dinan not to say
anything about it, because it might get him into trouble; yet he
pretended to tell Captain Schaack, as proved by Whalen, that he saw
Smith and didn't bring him in when he had instructions to find him.
He told Dinan that he had worn out the leather of his shoes hunting
for Smith, and yet when he sees this man, who is drawing all the
trouble upon him, he didn't even bring him to the station. Away
with the Smith story!

"Martin Burke, as soon as the body is discovered, is found in
Winnipeg. We find him there under an assumed name, on his way to
Europe. He is brought back under the laws of extradition on this
charge of murder. For days and weeks before he could be removed he
put the courts to the trouble of investigating as to whether he
should return or not. Martin Burke flies away from Camp 20. Martin
Burke leaves his f
