Tun Island Guardian commenting upon Tue Examrner’s article in respect to the
Land Office defaleations, says :
‘‘We think also that the course pursued by the Commissioner of Public Lands, subse- quently to the diseovery of the defalcation as portrayed by Tur EXAMINER, will not be en- dorsed by public opinion. We can scarcely realize that ‘out of a kindly consideration to- ward an innocent and highly respectable widow and her family,’ the Land Commis- sioner visited the widowed lady of the sus- pected official and in person threatened to make an exposure of the matter unless she paid him the money he demanded ; and that she in the sore distress in which he placed her, handed him, as Tur EXAMINER 8ay3, 3700. We must confess, highly as we esteem al parties, that whether done advisedly or unadvisedly, it has much the appearance of black mailing.’

Drowning Accident.
A very sad and distressing affair occurred at North River, Lot 47, on Tuesday last, whereby the son of John L. and Mary A. McDonald came to his death by drowning. Shortly before noon on that day the little fellow, a bright and intelligent child about seven years of age, took his trout hook and line from the shelf and told his mother that he was going fishing. A few hour afterwards, finding that he was longer absent than usual, his mother be- came uneasy and went to some of the neighboring houses in search of him. It did not occur to her at this time that he had gone to the shore, for although he had
who was
ften been there with his father he was never known to go there alone. The search, however, in that direction was
made. A dory was seen to be adrift on the river, while the footprints, correspond- ing to the size of his feet, were plainly visible in the sand along the shore. It be- came now only too evident to the _heart- broken parents what had happened their hild. The neighbors turned out and began vearching in the river. About nine o'clock, with the aid of lanterns and torches, they liscovered the body in about five feet of vater, on the south side of the river. He vas lying on his back with his hands up- ifted and feet drawn up. The body was before Dr.
, verdict rendered in accordance with the ‘acts. Much sympathy is felt for the par- nts, who have been thus suddenly called upon to mourn the loss of their beloved boy and only child.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. D. Moore. The _ brides- maids were Miss Katie McDonald, Miss Jean Small and Miss Josie Barratt, while he groom was attunded by his brother, Mr. John McLeod. The bride was dressed in a cream cashmere. The bridesmaids were also attired in cream white and pink atin. After the ceremony was concluded, the guests (some seventy or eighty) sat
down to a sumptuous repast. The remain- der of the evening was spent in singing and ther amusements usually participated in on such occasions. The presets were more than ordinary valuable ones, having been received from friends in distant lands. Ata late hour the company disversed bear- ing with them pleasant recollections of the evening, and leaving behind their prayers and blessings for the future happiness of the young couple.

The Cronin Murder Trial.
FOR THE DEFENCE CON-
TINUED,
THE TESTIMONY
Cuicaco, Noy. 19.—Redmond MeDon- ald, a policeman of the East Chicago avenue station, was the first witness in the Cronin case to-day. He testified that he went to Casey’s funeral on the afternoon of May 4, with ofticer Richard McCormack, and went on duty as a patrolman at 7 that evening. He remained on duty until 4 o'clock in the morving. He saw Dan Coughlin at 8 that night as the latter was going into the sta- tion. The witness was a member of Camp 20. Being cross-examined, the witness could not remember what he did, where he went the day of the funeral, nor whom he saw at Casey's funeral. He did not go in side the church, but remained in the buggy
The witness returned from the cemetery about five o’clock and went to Garrity's saloon(Whalen yesterday was positive it was six o'clock) and did not see Martin Burke at the funeral, nor did he see Dan Coughlin at Garrity’s saloon. The witness denied that he went to Dinan’s livery ble on Saturday night to see if all the rigs Coughlin was standing on the
sta
were in. siation steps when the witness saw him and he said ** Good evening” to him, and
Coughlin said the same. The witness knew Coughlin was suspected of complicity in the ease, because he had read it in the pa- pers. The witness, on being pressed, said he did not know that not a word was print- ed on the subject until three days after the corpse was found in the Lake View © catch- basin. He told no one but Scott because he (witness) was a member of Camp 20, and did not want to get his name mixed up with the matter.
Wm. Muleahey, an employe of Sullivan, the ice man, testified that a man resemb!l
dence in April, and asked him if he knew Kunze. On his replying in the aflirmative he told him to notify him (Coughlin) by telephone at the Chicago avenue station
when he turned up. Coughlin was con- fronted with the witness, but the latter would not swear he was the same man.
Mulcahey said in April that he was trou-
bled with a sore leg and O'Sullivan told him to godown and see Cronin as he had a contract with him. He swore that
on May 4th he was out with O'Sullivan peddling ice until late in the evening.
They went home and had supper. O'Sul- livan went to bed at nine, the witness fol- lowing soon after. After 10 he was awak- ened by hearing some of the workmen at the door and they were let in. After that Mrs. Whalen came into the room and spoke to O'Sullivan. The witness testified he had beard a conversation between old man Carlson and O'Sullivan about the tenants for the Carlson cottage. The old maa testified that O'Sullivan said he knew them and they were all right. This witness testi- fied that O'Sullivan said he knew none of them.
On cross-examination the State’s Attor- ney endeavored to elicit from the witness a statement that in his evidence before the coroner's jury he had stated that he did not
hear the conversation between O’Sul- livan and the elder Carlson, but the witness persisted that he never so testified. Further questions
elicited the statement that on the night of the murder O’Sullivan got up when the men who were out came to the door and let them in. The witness got up about 7 o'clock the next morning, leaving O'Sul- livan, he said, never left the house that night. The witness’s memory as to events immediately preceding and following the night of the murder was defective. The cross examination took an unexpected and sensational turn, the evident intention be- ing to direct suspicion toward the witness as theman who drove the white horse which drove Cronin to his death. The witness denied that he had ever worna beard or allowed a beard to grow for two weeks. In the latter part of April last the witness said he did not go to see Cronin about a lame foot when O’Sullivan suggest- ed it, because it was not troubling him them.
He was quite sure he did not see Cronin May 4. ‘The witness said since last spring he had been acting as collector for O’Sul- livan, but was unable to give the name of anyone who paid him money for O’Sul- livan.
