The Crime of the Century; Or, The Assassination of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin

Cronin, Patrick Henry, 1846-1889; Trials (Assassination) -- Illinois -- Chicago
"This flat is occupied. We have shown that the furniture was moved
in there, that the trunk was moved in, that the valise and all the
articles purchased at Revell's were moved into that flat, and
stayed there until the night of the 20th. You will remember that
Collector Goldman, who collects the rents for this real estate
firm, went to collect the rent for the flats on the morning of the
20th of March. He didn't find any one in, but he peeped through the
letter hole and saw the carpet and furniture still there and went
away. But when he returned the next morning, the 21st of March, the
flat was vacant. And if you remember the other evidence, you will
find that they moved in the evening. Now, why was that flat
rented? Why was this furniture purchased? Is there any explanation
on earth except that it was purchased and moved in for the very
purpose for which it was used thereafter? Why they selected that
flat at 117 South Clark street is not for us to answer. Why they
should have moved the furniture in there first is problematic,
except it was for the purpose of losing the identity and stopping
the tracing of the property from where it was first purchased. That
might have been the object. It is not necessary we should account
for the reason of their having moved this furniture into that flat,
but it is one piece of evidence in this case that follows along the
line of the conspiracy.
