He Is-gnn by^repelling llie charge of the opposition that^the Cronin section of the Clan-na-(i lei had^suborned n large amount of perjured testi^^mony iu:ainst the accused, mid said the^most of the Clan-na-Gael evidence was by^iiieiiibers of the Triangle cani|i. He then^ttsik up and dwelt at length on the evidence^utraiust Hcgg*. Onthe reassembling of conrt in the aftc^noon Judge l^ngenecker continued In- re^^ply to Forest's argument, and then untile a^rapid running sketch Of the evidence of^iding witness mid the circumstance* un^^der which it was given, by way of reply to^Force's charge that there wa^a conspiracy^to convict the defendants. Inclosing he^said: ^Kemenilier. that we are^here insisting that this evidence^is ho overwhelming that jroa, a* honest^men under your oath*, cannot resist this^volume of proof that must convince you as^sensible men beyond a reasonable doubt^4hut all live of these men are guilty of this^crime. JudgeMcConncll then delivered his^charge to the jury, saying in |wrt: ^The^manner or cause of death which is tllsflM^in the indictment is an essential clement of^the charge against the defendants, and the^law requires the prosecution to establish^that averment to your satisfaction beyond a^reasonable doubt, hh it is laid in the indict^^ment , before convict ion can lawfully be had.^Hut whether or not the manner or cause of^death whs a* laid in the indict^^ment may be established by circumstantial^evidence, just as any otln r fact essential to^conviction may l^e. Cireuuistiinml evi^^dence in criminal cases is proof of such^facts and circumstances, connected with or^surrounding the commission of the crime^charged as tends to show the iiiniK'ciice of^the parties charged, and if tin s^ facts and^circumstances are sufficient to salsify the^jury of the guilt lievond reasonable donbt,^then such evidence is sufficient to authorize^the jury finding defendants guilty. It is^the duty of the jury to enter upon consul,^elation of each circumstance proven having^in their minds the presumption that^the defelideuts and each of them^are innocent, and if such facts^or circumstances when considered in^connection with all the evidence in the case,^can be (.plained consist, ntly with the in^^nocence of the accused, anil it is then duty^to explain, in order to jtist.fy the influence^of leal Lii.lt from circuu.sb utial evidence,^the existence of inculpatory facts must lie^absolutely incompatible with'lie innocence^of the accused and incapable ot explana^^tion upon any other reasonable hypothesis^than that of their guilt. Itis not sufficient for the jury to^find that a resolution wis adopted^for the appointment of a secret^coiuinitte iu Camp 11), Feb. 8, but it^must further appeal to your satisfaction^beyond all riiHouablc doubt that such com^^mittee was in fact appointed by defendant^lieggs, and that such .tp|s^int incut was in^pursuance or m furtherance of a conspiracy^io commit the crime *et out in the indict^^ment: and you must further Is'satisfied^beyond all reasonable doubt that defendant^Heggs had knowledge of the purpise for^which said committee was asked, or if ap^^pointed, assented to its pur pise subse^^quently, or you will not be justified in find^^ing a participatioti in such conspiracy on^the. part of defendant Heggs by reason of^the facts herein stated. That defendant^Heggs was a member of the United^Hmthcrhood. and the pn siding otti-^Mt of Camp '.II, are not circuiii-tinct s.^St.Hiding alone, tending to establish Ins^^mil of the crime charged in the indict^^ment. and as there is mi evidence in the^case thai any overt act was committed by^defendant Iteggs in the commission ol the^alleged murder charged in the indictment,^therefore unh it is established that a con^^spiracy u.o. ent i. ,1 ml i to commit the^Border charged in said indictment, to^which conspiracy said lieggs was a patty,^lie should lie acquitted. The testimony of^verbal admissions, statements and conver^^sations ought to be taken by you with great^coition, because that sort of teatteMMf is^subject to much imperfection and mistake;^although you mav believe defendant llcggg^at the mis ting of Camp 31 on May In re^^marked in substance that that committee^was to report to Imu: and even if you^should fnrlIn [ believ. that such remark^possessed sonic criminal import, yet in no^view that can be taken of his case will you^Is. justified in using such remark as evi^^dence against any ot her defendant. Ifyou can reconcile the facts in this rase^upon any reasonable theory consistent with^the inii'K'ence of defendant John Kun/e, if^is your duty so to do, and to lind John^Kun/e not guilty. Althoughyou uiav fully and confidently^believe that one .I. ft. Simonds, tbe person^who drove Dr. Cronin away from home on^the night of May 4. and otktf unknown^persons, were members of the conspiracy to^murder Dr. Cronin as charged in^the indictment. and indeed that^they did murder him, yet^you cannot and ought not to use any . \ i-^delice respecting the condui t and coiiveisa-^tions of such MHOH. or any of them,^again*! any of the defendant* unless y..a^are first convinced beyond cvt ry reasonable^doubt from the evidence that such defend^^ant ^** also a member of such conspiracy^to murder Dr. ('Minn. If the juty Isdieve^from the evidence beyond a reasonable^doubt that the defendant* or any of them^conspired and Hgrt-ed together or with^otln rs, to kill and murder 1'atrick Heruy^Cronin. and that in pursuance and fnrthi r-^ance of that common design, and by a^meiiif^er or members of *uch con^^spiracy, said Patrick Henry Cronin^was killed and murdered in the^nianiu r and form charged, then such^of those defendants or any of whom the^jury believe from the evidence beyond^reus..liable doubt were partu s to such con^^spiracy, are guilty of the murder of ^aid^( ronin, whether the identity of the indi^^vidual doing the killing Is^ established or^not, or whether such defendants wt re pres^^ent at the tune of the killing or not. Burke were dellla-rH^tended h\ him 'o assist^of the eri'm murder. Althoughvou may believe thai Dinan *^horse and buggy was used to take the dtjr^tor to his death, vou are advised that the^act of defendant Coughlm in engaging snch^horse and buggy is insufficient to justify^vou in concluding that he was a party to^the alleged conspiracy, unless it further ap-^is-ars beyond all reasonable doubt that such^,^ t of defendant Coughlm was deliberately^and wilfully intended by bun to assist in^i^Tim ti ding the crime of murder. Althoughvou mav believe the contract be^^tween O'Siillivan Rinl Cronin was used tode^coy the doc-tor to his death, you are advised^that the act of defendant O'Sullivan in^making snch contract of itself, is insuffi^^cient to justify you m concluding be was a^P i tv to the alleged conspiracy, unless it^rartBer appears beyond all reasonable doubt^that such art of defendant tI'Sulliviin was^deliberate, and wilfully intended by him to^assist in the perpetration of the murder, or^that he knowingly and corruptly consented^to the use of such means ill accomplishing^the alleged murder of the deceased. The^evidence in proof of conspiracy will gener^ally, in the nature of the case, Is- circum^^stantial. Though a common design is the^essence of the charge, it i* not necessary to^prove that the defendants came together^and actually agreed to have that design,^ami to pursue it by common means. Ifthe jury believe from the evidence lie^^vond rcasoiial ile doubt, acting in the light^iif the entire charge of the court, that de^^fendants now on trial, or some of them,^conspired together, or together with others^who were to the grand juror* unknown, to^kill ami murder Patrick Henry Cronin, and^tlmt one or more Of the conspirators, in^P'irsii'nee ami in the furtherance of that^eoURpnacv. did kill and murder said Cronin^in the manner and form charged, then any^or all of the defendants ufniiyi who mo^conspired art in law guilty ot such intirdi t,^although they may not have actually killed^said Cronin or have Is-en present at the^time or place of the hilling. You ought^not and cannot legally convict d. fendants,^or either of them, u|*in the mere^diK-lrine of chance and probability, al^^though vou may believe it is highly^probable and very likely that defendants^are guilty: and even that it is far more like^^ly and probable that they are guilty than^that they are lnnis'ciit; yet no amount of^suspicion will warrant you iu rendering ^^verdict of guilty against defendants or any^of them. Thebailiffs who were to have charge of^the jury were then sworn to a faithful dis^^charge of their duty, mid the jurymen MM^taken an their root After considerable^discussion between counsel all of the urti^cles ottered in evidence, except Cronin's^clothes, were taken to the jury rtsini for^inspection. At 4:3ii p. m. the court ad^journed until I o'clock. At the latter hour^a large crowd was m waiting, bnt the jury^wit-not ready, and Judge Mct'olinell an^^nounced that he would return again at 10^o'cltK-k. At II o'cl.k-k no word having^been received from the jury. Judge McCon^^ncll announced that court would adjourn^until In o'clock to-morrow morning, to give^the jurors further time for deliberation.
