LONGEREOKER'8 LAST ADDRESS.
An Eloquent Effort In n Crowded Court

Reserve Police force Out.
Chicago, Dec. 15.—Every available
foot in tlie court room was thronged
when State’s Attorney Longenecker
made the closing argument on behalf of
the state, owing to the illness of Mr.
Mills, to whom the task had been
signed. He said in part:
“It remained until the last counsel
for the defendants arose to address you
in three days’ argument for the first
time, you as jurymen, and we as repre¬
sentatives of the people, were notified
of the theory of the defence, that is,
that there was a great conspiracy on the
part of the people; that there was a con¬
spiracy spiracy to to hang, iimoc. nt tlie men; guise a con¬

part We right into their organi¬
sation. go own
camp, among their own friends, and we
get the truth from men who believed
that Dr. Cronin was right in making
the charges against the triangle. Are
they in a conspiracy with the other
sociates, the members of the same
as Beggs, Coughlin and Burke? Why,
they come as brothers from the
camp, so that that won’t do to charge
in that way.”
The Case Against Beggs.
Judge Longenecker referred briefly
toe complaints of the defense about
employing valuable assistance, saying
that he saw no reason why the state

guardian that toe committee would re¬

The state’s attorney called attention
to the difference in the fine of argu-
ments by the state and defense. Tlie
former sought to make a strong stick
by binding a number of twigs together.
The latter tried to show that the stick
was weak and not able to hold together
because, forsooth, one of the twigs
might be defective. On thk point the
speaker dwelt at length and was fol¬
lowed by Attorney Hynes reading the
testimony of Dr. Egbert relating of toe to read¬ the

The state’s attorney told of the route
taken by the wagon, the story of tbs

that the doctor had died of apoplexy.
“Look at those out clothes and the
