, An Alleged Sweeping < oufcssimi l«y
Martin Burke.
Chicago. Oct. 25.—Whatever doubts
had existed regarding the fact that L>r.
Cronin was killed within a short time
after leaving the Conklin residence were
set at rest when Dr. Egbert produced a
number of jars containing tl.e contents
of the stomach of the inur.li-red man
in court. The food, he said, had scarcely
commenced to digest, and had been
taken in the stomach less than three
hours before death.
The jury while glanced at the contents the of
the jars, the .people ill court
room craned their necks to get a look at
the receptacles.
< oik! It ion of the Body.
The witness went on to minutely de¬
scribe the condition of the i oily. All
the internal organs were in excellent
ermPitlon condition and and there there was was not no the slightest
evidence of disease, internal or external,
although the brain and its covering
were terribly decomposed. There was a
wound two inches long and one-half
inch wide in the corner of the left eye,
while near by the skull was again
fractured and a small portion clipped
away. Near the left temple was a
wound two inches long and extending
to the skull. Back of this was another
almost the same size, while back of the
left ear was a ragged wound that joined
the other two. On the left of the back
of the head was another uglv wound
two and one-quarter inches long and
a fourth inch wide, in the center of
P beaten into the
scalp. This had been
thin laver of flesh on the skull by the
force of the blow and was attached to
the remaining skin at the upper portion
of the wound. The lungs were free
from water despite the fact that the
head was below the surface when found ,
and, as the physician testified in the
most emphatic manner, there was not
the shadow of doubt that Dr. Cronin’s
death was caused by the wounds he re¬
ceived.
A Clear Cane of Murder.
Judge Wing and Mr. Forest took turns
in cross examining the witness for nearly,
two hours with the view of securing an
admission tliat the wounds upon the
body might have lieen occasioned by
y inflicted prior
death, and his testimony in other partic¬
ulars remained unshaken.
In the morning session John F. Scan-
lan, Frank Scanlan, George Fininger, and
Patrick McGarry. David P. Ahern
Dr. C. W. Lewis testified that they knew
Dr. Cronin well and identified the body.
Mr. Conklin testified that Dr. Cronin
had lived with him for 11 years and
was a member of his family at the time
of his death.

said further that the alleged secret cir¬
culars produced by The Times to show
that the league was a revolutionary or¬
ganization were forgeries.

New York, Oct. 27.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says: .The
money market has become more «9i»y
with proqiei t that serious disturbance
this season is no longer to be appre¬
hended. The banks are running with
narrow reserves and artificial stringency
may at any time be engineered, but the
movement of crops has been heavy. In
the natural course of events the return
of money to this center should soon be¬
gin and .the possibility of a foreign drain
seems more remote.
There is a little more stringency at
Omaha, less at Cleveland and an active _
demand with a conservative tone at Chi¬
cago, but otherwise the markets west
and south all report supplies adequate
for * legitimate i hard -----eds. nee but Philadelphia commercial finds

turing loans at 4} to 44. Collections are
unusually satisfactory at almost all
points.
