FOSTER'S CHICAGO Dec the afternoon session of the Cronin hearing on Friday Attorney Foster began his argument in behalf of his client He said that whoever believed Dr Cronin was an angel in dis- guise was mistaken It had been charged that the society was a dynamite organization but the fact that Dr Cronin was an active ber of the society had been ly overlooked This brought the State's Attorney to his feet with a jump I shall object to the charge that Dr Cronin was a dynamiter He was op- posed to the dynamite policy and for opposing it was expelled This disconcerted Mr Foster and for a few minutes he the State's Attorney and the court all talked together At last order was restored and the court ruled the testimony out on the ground that no such testimony had been ad- mitted The attorney then referred to Beggs connection with the His client's connection with the society he said was an open book He was a pion of peace The statement that Beggs had at one time said that Dr Cronin was not a fit man to ba on the committee that tried Alexander Sullivan might be true What of Had not Dr Cronin in a convention of the national body Sullivan Boland and Feely with robbery and murder Such being the case was it unreasonable to believe that any one making such a charge would be unlit to try and judge the one accused And that continued the attorney is the only one that my client Beggs has been accused in dence of making None other has he ever made In making that statement he did right If you are going to hang him for that statement I might as well stop right here and let him be taken at once to the row passage in the jail and strangled The State desires to convict my client because Burke went to his office three in January and once in February Let tho gentlemen of the State look to their own nest see where they have been visited by fugitives from justice and say if such facts would rant the conviction of themselves of the crimes for which tho fugitives are guilty If not in Heaven's name let them not make such accusation nor ex- press such a desire against my client Continuing the speaker said that Beggs was made senior guardian the last Friday night in January The meeting at which the conspiracy was j claimed to have been hatched was held on February S and therefore Attorney i Foster argued the senior guardian- j ship of Beggs could not have l been long used to produce and nourish the germs of the conspiracy j Tho only thing against his client was i his having nth is installation raised his j voice against the continued attacks upon Alexander Sullivan Attorney Foster picked up the thread of his discourse at the of the morning session by impressing once more upon the jury the point in law that a defendant is not obliged to prove his innocence but that his guilt must be proved by the prosecution before a verdict against him can be rendered The charge that a secret committee j was ever appointed in Camp 20 by Beggs the speaker denied point blank There j was no positive proof of it and there was j nothing in the record lo show that such j an appointment was made It was true j that a motion was made at the meeting of February S to appoint a com- j mittec but that it was lost in the gestion that a polite request be made on the district officer to do thing to prevent the spreading of the calumniating report against the ex- committee That this was all there was of the secret committee the speaker declared If there was more to it he wanted his attention called to the proof In a quiet way the State's Attorney picked up tho record of evidence and turning to that by Dennis i nor asked the speaker to read where O'Connor said that a motion to appoint the committee was made and carried i This the State's Attorney thought was j proof of subsequent appointment Mr Foster apparently lost his j temper and stepping back he yelled with all the force of his lungs that to j say that a secret was j pointed was a and ho banged the little table in front of him to emphasize his remarks Then j shrieked it's as false as and j brought his list on the table again with a force The State's was as was every body else surprised and he laid down the record with an expression of disgust The judge told the attorney to compose himself and continue his remarks The effort of the prosecution said Mr Foster to show by the financial records that Camp 20 had furnished funds to the murderers of Dr Cronin had proven a dismal failure He said the State found a criminating circumstance in Beggs declaration that he was a friend of Alexander Sullivan The speaker acknowledged that such a declaration might have been made but was utterly unable to see any thing criminating in that fact Alexander livan had been arrested in connection with the case but he had been liberated from bail and was now a free man Re- ferring to the evidence introduced by him regarding Beggs conversations with Dawson and Colonel lor Mr Foster said it introduced for the purpose of proving an alibi for on the May 4 There was no necessity for alibi with the exception of two visits to his in January aild ruary there had not been proved any association Boggs and the other

of speculation as to why Silcott took up a number of notes at the National Metropolitan Bank last week just before he Mr has just secured an explanation which is to the effect that the cashier the names of the bers of the House and other persons to not less than thirty-five notes ing and it was these notes which he took up November -27 It is Mr dorn's theory that object in ing out this large sum of money which he might just as well have carried off was to avoid extradition ex- amination will bo made of the notes and it is the opinion of several members of the committee who have some legal reputation that if they turn out to be forged then Silcott may still be extradited providing cient proof upon that point is obtainable notwithstanding his precaution in taking up and presumably destroying the notes Then too Mr states that Silcott made off with some of his personal funds which if true would place him fairly within the grasp of extradition laws GIVEN m CHOICE Dom Pedro Was
