CHICAGO, May 27.-Extraordinary efforts are
apparently being made to extort a statement
from the detective, Daniel Coughlin. the im-
prisoned suspect of the Cronin mystery. His
iailers said tonight that no person whatever
except his wife had been allowed 10 com
municate with the imprisoned officer since
his Incarceration. The statement as 20
his wife, even, is probably somewhat
to be qualified. No one questions that he is
being treated to taste of the "sweat-box''
theory and other arts of which ne was so long
himself a distinguished disciple. The outcome
of ptting such expert against others OF tried
ability is awaited with keen interest. Coughlin
at times at least is treated better than
ordinary unfortunates who End lodgmeat IN
the Armory station, and doubtless for pur-
pose. His regula~ cell IS large and airy, with a
bed and other furnishings and he is served
with meals from a caterers establishment, con-
venient and respectable.
Capt. Bartram was asked: "FIas CoGghlin
been allowed to see a lawyer"
"He has no lawyer and says he does not want
any" was the reply.
In spite OF this, ,ir. W S Forrest has been
retained in Coughin's behalf ana called at the
station early this evening, and demanded
10 see his client He was
refused. Mr.. Forrest stated that Coughlin's
wife informed him that she had not been al
lowed to see her husband when she called at
the station Sunday. The police officials gave
TO the reporters a very touching account of an
interview they had, tender-heaTtediy, allowed
between husband and wife
IO-nluht a 1O-45 Daniel fonuI1fu Was Fcr-
mally arrested in the police station cell, where
he has been detained on sus picion. An exam
ination by justice was held at once within the
stone walls OF the dungeon. A few moments
later the magistrate ordered q commitment and
COughlin was hurried out on the way 70 the
county Jail. The warrant was sworn out By
John Cronin, the brother of the dead doctor.
COughlin is charged directly with the murder.
The unusual procedure becomes eXpiicable
when 1t Is known that at 10 p. m. Lawyer
Forrest had put IN an appearance AGAIN. and
this time persisted IN his efforts u
see his client. An immediate resort TO
habeas corpus was imminent when the police
took action, as already told, and Coughlin was
soon safely immured in the county Jail. and
delay secured for the prosecution before Cough
lin could see friend
Capt. Setback, Capt. Wing and Lieut.. Wing
were in conference several hours this
afternoon at the Lake View station, and
when the conference was finished,
Capt. Setback announced that the police
had p. o. Sullivan, the Ice man, under arrest.
He would not state whether he was in custody
at the Central station, at the Armory, or in
Lake View, and refused to state whether any
new facts had been secured which seemed 70 be
evidence against him.
The young man, King who was arrested last
night on the strength of the prisoner Wood
ruiis story, released to-day. after the police
had received a visit from J. & |. ). Mac
Donald, attorneys, who had interested them
selves in his behalf. Ii is announced now
that the police believe King is all right.
Contrary TO many positive assertions,
Peter Mcclellan of Philadelphia is ap-
parently not the man who drove Cronin away
to his doom. Frank I. Scanlan. a friend
of Cronin's who knew Mcclellan and who saw
Cronin driven away. says Mcclellan is not the
man. Liveryman Dinsn also says Mcclellan is
not the man who took the rig from the stable
and started for Cronin's Office.
