The Cronin trial is being postponed by all sorts of

efforts on the part of the prisoners' counsel to get separate trials for the separate prisoners, and to press other dilatory motions. In the meantime, an attempt has been made to murder one of the witnesses against Burke,—a man of the name of Klahro, a tinsmith, who recently recognised Burke as the person for whom he had on May 6th soldered a tin box supposed to con- tain Dr. Cronin's clothes. Klahro was attacked in the street on Tuesday night by several young Irishmen, beaten, and seriously injured.
