cut that rope.' It would not do for him to
peep into that box, because he might have seen Dr. Cronin's
clothes, and then if he had, and it had turned out subsequently
that the clothes were found in the sewer, it might have been shown
that he told a fib. But he asked Martin Burke one question, 'What
do you think of Cronin's disappearance?' He tells you that Burke
said, 'He is a British spy, and ought to be killed.' So the great
mystery has been solved. He further says that neither he nor Burke
said another word in an hour and a half. The first man that came
there told Klahre just what he wanted to know, and you will
remember that they asked every man they wanted to impeach, 'Didn't
you say Cronin was British spy and ought to have been killed?' Now,
some one made that to order."

DRIVER SWANSON'S STORY.

"Now take Swanson. By the way, do you remember that when Captain
Schuettler, the police officer who spoke to nearly every witness
since the coroner's inquest, was on the stand, it turned out that
every time he struck a witness from Clark street to Lake View the
man was either a German or a Swede? You would not expect a German

going to the opening, is the very person, according to his
testimony, who did not go. The Swede remembers every street he
drove through, every place he stopped, and every cobblestone he
drove over, and yet they tell you that although it's a large
establishment their men did not wear a uniform or livery until
after the 10th of May. The man says he had a tall hat, a cut-away
coat, his pantaloons did not come up under his vest, and yet he was
seen driving through the streets at 12 o'clock at night."

"O'Sullivan watered his garden on that day, too," dryly remarked
the State's Attorney.

"Yes, and if it had been your witness he would have told you what
flower it was he watered, wha
