BAD FOR BURKE.
Two Witnesses TnitUlrrly Iilrntlfy film as
Frank WilliumV Who Keutnl the Carl
don Cottage.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Ih the Cronin trial
yesterday Mrs. Annie . Carton was
placed on the stand. The young woman
began her testimony very timidly. Af
ter a few questions she became so nervous
that her replies were almost inaudible.
It frequently became necessary for the
court stenographer to repeat aloud the
barely uttered sentences which fell from
her lips.
The witness told how. on the 2Sth of
March, while she was at the Carlson's,
a man came to rent the cottage which
stood near the house. Hi? said his sis
ter was to keep house for him. and that
he !had some furniture he wanted to
move in at once. Ho gave his name as
Frank Williams.
"Mrs. Carlson." said Lawyer Mills,
"do you see that stranger in tho court
room now?"
"Will you point him out to the jury?"
"There he is." the witness said, point
ing directly to Martin Burke.
"Do you mean Martin Burke that
man?" continued Mr. Mills, pointing to
Burke again.
"Yes," replied the witness.
Jonas Carlson, tho owner of the cot
tage, was the next witness. He corrob
orated tho testimony of his daughter-in-law
about the stranger coming to rent
the cottage. He told about the stranger
renting the cottage for a month for $12,
and paying the money down.
The witness described the Carlson
cottage, the furniture and other sur
roundings; told of conversations be
tween parties who rented tho cottage
and was finally asked if he saw Frank
Williams, the man who rented the cot
tage, in the room.
The old gentleman hesitated, glanced
at tho jurors, inspecting each closely,
swept his eyes over the audience, looked
at the reporters, lawyers, then settled
back in his chair with a shake of the
head.
"Step down from the stand and look
again."
The old man left the stand, walked
about among tho reporters, attorneys
for tho defense, and finally his gaze
rested on Martin Burke.
Ho smiled, waved his hand and re
turned to his chair.

ably tho speakers who address the meeting will
present the topics which are prominent in the
canvass and how well the claims of our candi

The thought which is uppermost in my mind
leads me to suggest that this is a time for the
Democrats of our State to guard azainst the ,
indifference and lack of activity which are tpt '
to resau irom ine reaction or a recent Presi

bear in mind that every election involves Dem

and that indifference should not be permitted
to invite defeat when fit and worthy men and .
true Democrats are presented as candidates ;
