The blood-stainad trunk was again brought into the court-room, and Mr. Ingham asked the witness how it compared with the trunk he hauled from the store to the Clark strnat piece. "it compares vary favorably with it: it leeks like the same trunk." Mr. Hatfield was recalled and Identified the carpet as identical with that purchased by "Simondi," He also identified the shipping tickit as that sent with the goods bought by "iSimonds," Mr. Ingham ottered in evidence the shipping receipt signed with "Slmonds" initials.

She described the situation of the two houses on ths lot She called at the Carlson Cottage at -10 o'clock in the morning and remained there till 4 in the afternoon. Her .husband Charles wastbore. The front bouse on the lot was not occupied. "That day a man came to the house and epoke to Mr. Carlson about rentlne thecottace.

"My husband asked htm what his bail, nest was and he said he worked down town." , "Mrs. Carlson do yon see that man now?- ' JL. .. ''I do," . "Point him out" Mrs, Carlson raised her left hand and pointed her black-gloved lingers at Martin had never taken hit eyes off lira. Carlson from the moment she took the stand. He never winced- under the awful charge implied and almost proven in this identification by the timid woman on the witness stand. Her appearance on the stand seemed, not to aitect Burke in the slightest, snd when she pointed at him the only change noticeable in him was a deep flush which crimsoned his face. This is not unusual for Burke. He blushes furiously on the slightest provocation. Jonas Carlson, who has been known through the history of the case as "Old Man" Carlson, was the next witness . Mr. Carlson, who is rather feeble from old age, was assisted to the court room by an officer, lie was exam Urea by Air. nulls. Mr. Carlson testified that he lived at 1872 North Ashland avenue, and hhrfamily consists "at my on woman ana me." e had lived in Chicago since 1834, and had been lumber-measurer until incapacitated for workMr. Carwon testified that about noon March. 20, a man came to rent the front cottage. Mrs. Annie Carlson, Carl Carl son and witness' wife ware present "He came in and asked me if that was my houee.v I told him yes. He asked me If I wouldlrsnt it I said yes. fie anked me to show him the house. He asd I got the key and wa went into the house. He said: 'Yor,.got six rooms here. How much do you want for it:- I said $ 13. Heanked me if I'd take til. I said na Then be said he would give me the money right away. Then we went Baca: to tne -ouse and mv boy gave him a receipt for the money. "What did the stranger say?" "He said there were tores brothel's of them and their sister would come ttrotn Baltimore and keep house tor them. He saii be hai bought some furniture and would bring it to the cottage in two or re days, " "What nan did the stranger give your" "Ua said his name was Frank Williams." Joseph Crouse, a photographer, idsnti fled a rgs photograph which he made of the cottage in which Dr. uronin was murdered; tba cottage in the rear where old Mr. and Mrs, Carlson lived; Patrick O' Sullivan's barn and residence. John C. cftevitt, a derk-ia the crim inal court testified that be made a dia gram of ths premises at No. 1872 North Ashland arenue, and also the adjacent premises. The diagram was explained at length to the jury bj Mr. McDevitt and then with the photograph was orterea in eviditace. The court admitted them. Jonas Carlson was recalled and testified he bad known P. CSullivan about two years. Witness identified the ptfotograph pointing out the various buildings. After Frank Williams had paid him a month's rent he west over and witness saw him talking to O'Sullivan. They stood at the buggy shed in the alley1. Witness heard Williams sty be bad rented the cottage. He i!id notgee them separate. Ha next saw Willi- the 4th of May. The cottags was ntt occupied from tne XUtti or March till that time. "About wht time was it on the 4th of May that Sou saw Frank Williams?" "It was bout 6 o'clock in the iifternoorif" i "What was Frank Williams doing or - where was ae stanain gr" . "He cams oat of the front door af the houiie atone and stood on the threshuld. "That save night I walked out to the gate about 7 o'clock, and as I passed along the side of the house I heard two men talk ( inside. They were talking in a load voiot-" "Howiorig did yot. remain at the gate?" "About two minutes." "Where lid you go then?" "I went back to my house and went to bad about 7:30 o'clock. My wife oaute to bed a few minutes after roe." "You sppke of seeing P. O'Sullivan and Frank Williams together on the day Will iamn rented the cottage. Did you hare any talk with O' Sullivan, in April of the preamt yearr" "I. went over to him on the 16th or 17th of April. Be was standing out baok of his barn, rigging up one of his ice wagons, I asked biia if he kn-w the people who rented the cottage?" "He mid no, and then, after a moment he as Id: 'I know one of tb em and he is alt rieht' He says: 'Is the rent due?' I toll him not before the 20th. Well, he says: e win pay you then." " "Did you have another conversttion with Sullivan?' "Yes, sir, about the 19th of May. I was ittasdiug outside the fence ami he came across from his barn. He asked me if m;? tenant had net jid -it -n e yes, na J to mm no. ine a ay nerore -SfttU!ray l receive a letter from Hammond, Ind., signed Frank Williams, in which be said be had left Chicago on bus iness. He said to put the furniture down cellar and that he would pay me for my trouble. He said he had lost the keys, and that hs hod put a coat of paint on the floor in the front room to sare his sis. tor the trouble of scrubbing and that he was sorry he did it The letter said: 'I will see to it that you get paid tor all your trouble.' I told Mr. Sullivan about the letter, and be said: 'You seem to have bad luck with your cottage; you will have to rent it again. ' Yes if I can, I says. " "G oing back to the morning of May 5, I will ask you if you went to tba front of the cottager" "I did." "Did you notice anything peculiar on the front steps." "I did." "What did you seel" "I saw something on the stsps that looked as though they had broken a jar of preserves or something like that In front of the house, on the street it looked as though a wagon had been standing there and there wore imprints of heavy shoes on the side of the ditch." "After you received the letter from Frank Wilt ma did you go Into the cottage" "I went la the next day, on Sunday, with Mr. .Lindgren, my son-in-law, and my son. We entered through one ot the windows in the front room. One of the slats on the window shutters was broken off and we opened the blinds and then crawled in," "Whstdidyou see?" "The floor of the front room dauhed with yellow paiot; there was no carpet on the floor. In the corner of the room was a pot of paint and a brush. There was a wnshstanil, two chairs, bowl and pitcher, foot rug and a dresser In the room. The j right arm was broken off the rooking : rhalr. In the bedroom I saw a bed and a niattrata on it There were two pillows and a quilt on tfte bed. There were no cases o the pillows, nor sheet on the

"Did you see any paint marks on ths floor in tho front ball?" ' "There Vere footprints made la paint" "How many times' altogether did yon see the man calling hiuelf Frank Williamsf "Three times; twice at my house and once in the jail" "I wl 11 ask you now if you see that man In this court rootnf" The old gentleman glanced along at ths jurors, inspecting each one of them closely. His eyes then swept across the eastern side of the room, wbe the ladlei predominate. The old man never said a word. Then he looked out before him at the spectators. It was an exciting moment The ticking of the clock on ths wall could be heard in any part of the room. The old man's gaze wandered along the front benches and then he settled back in his chair nith a shake of the head. At that moment Jartiu Burke, who had been glaring stoiiUftly at the witness, wiped the perspiration from h!s forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. The old man hod not identified him. "Mr. Carls on," continued Mr. Mills, "come down from the stand and loo k in this direction." The old man left the stand. He walked down to where Mr. Foster sits and then scrutinized Donahue, Judge Wing and the other lawyers for ne defense. At last his gaze rested on Martin Burka. The old man's face was lighted up with a smile. He waved his hand at Burke and then .walked back to the witness chair. "You see the man, do you, who' called himself Frank Williams when he rented -the premises?" "Ves, sir." "Whereis he sitting?" "That's him sitting there, ". pointing at Burke. Altera cross-examination lasting over half an hour Mr. Forrest gave it up as a bad iob. He did not shake the direct testimony of the witness in any particu. lar, and only brought out the fact that witness was 08 years old; that hs considered his eyesight good and that tho cottage Is now used as a museum. Charles Carlson's testimony in the first part was nearly corroborative of the nar; rative of his wife and father as far as ths hiring of the cottage was concerned. "I saw Frank Williams again when the furniture was moved in," he said. "I taw Martinson, the expressman, then. There was another man with Frank Williams, He was a shorter man, slender in build and dark." r Young Carlson said that April 30 there was a carpet down In the front room. It was tacked down. He saw a rockingchair, plain chair, bureau and wasbstand. There was no stove in the kitchen. The bed bad no sheets or pillow cases . On that occasion Williams helped Carlson carry out the goods of a former tenant "When did you see Prank Williams again?" "In the jail at Winnipeg. " "Do you see Frank Williams now In the court room?" Carlson's glance wandered toward where Burke sat The prisoner, who had kept his eyes cast down from the time Carlson bad token the stand, now raised his head and looked squarely at bis accuser. Then came the next words: "Point him out"' Carlson half rose from his chair, and, leaning forward, pointed his linger al Burke and said: "That is he, sitting there," "Which one?" "The second map from the end." "Is It agreed that he ' pointed' to Martin Burke?" asked Mr. Hynes, who was examining. "Yes, it is," said Forrest, nodding hit bead. "Did you ever see this Utter?" "Yes." "Sea if it refrei hss your reeolieotion as to the time you went to the cottage?" Carlson thought it did. "By what means did you enter?' "We couldn't find any key to the door and I went round to the front window. 1 found that the shutter was open. The catch wasn't on the window next lbs stairs, and we got in. The carpet wot gone and they had poured paint on ths floor. It hadn't been brushed except in certain places. There were also bloody stains on the 'base boards. There was a big bloodstain near the north side and one in the middle of the floor. The rockingchair's arm was off, and the furniture was moved into the middle of the room. I wasn't in there again until the next day after the body was found. The ' officers went in with me again, Lorch was.one ol them." "What was tba condition of the room at that time:-" "It was just the same." Carlson went on to tall how the paint had been marked with f ootorin ta.
