"Martin Burke, as soon as the body is discovered, is found in Winnipeg. We find him there under an assumed name, on his way to Europe. He is brought back under the laws of extradition on this charge of murder. For days and weeks before he could be removed he put the courts to the trouble of investigating as to whether he should return or not. Martin Burke flies away from Camp 20. Martin Burke leaves his friend Coughlin, his friend O'Sullivan. He goes away from his camp off to Winnipeg. He said he had been in Hancock, Mich., working for Ryan. If Burke rented the Carlson cottage for a lawful purpose, why should he go to Winnipeg and thence to the old country? Why should he flee the State of Illinois? It is because Martin Burke moved the furniture into the Carlson cottage for an unlawful purpose; it is because Martin Burke was in the cottage and dealt the blows that put out the life of Dr. Cronin; it is because his hands were red with the blood of a human being. "Colleran testified that Martin Burke and Coughlin were together outside of the lodge. Colleran tells you that he met him on the Sunday night after the discovery of the body, and that he said he had been working in the stock-yards, when in fact he had been in Joliet." "That was before the discovery of the body," interrupted Mr. Forrest. "You are right," said the State's Attorney; "it was just before the discovery of the body. Well, Burke disappears. There may be something that I have omitted in this matter. As I said, the clothing was found in the sewer--Dr. Cronin's coat, his vest, his pants. Dr. Cronin's box of splints; Dr. Cronin's satchel and instruments, his cards--all were found in this sewer on the line that that wagon was driven on that fatal night. That is beyond question. "Now, gentlemen, I have gone over the evidence as rapidly as I could, and yet at the same time kept it in connection as I understand it. There may be a great many things, and there are, that I have omitted; but my intention has been to keep your minds directed to the chain of circumstances. And if you want to get at this case, if you want to boil it down, if you want to write the history of the case, you are to write: "'I contracted for medical services'--Patrick O'Sullivan. 'I contracted for the cottage.'--Martin Burke. 'I contracted for the horse and buggy for my friend.'--Daniel Coughlin. Then draw your line and write 'Committee of Three.' Write again: 'I contracted for your life.'--Patrick O'Sullivan. 'I contracted for the horse and buggy to drive you to death?'--Dan Coughlin. 'I rented the cottage in which to strike out your life.'--Martin Burke. Write again: 'The committee reports to this senior guardian alone.'" JUDGE LONGENECKER CLOSES.
