broke up at 6:SO the lips of all the par
hprriedly left the building. Coughlin
left the room with Lieutenant of De.
tectiyes Elliott. He stood in the hall a
minute or two talking with the
lieutenant, then he was turned over
to- Detective Flynn. Coughlin and
Flynn walked away together care
lessly, but COughlin was prisoner.
He was taken to the station and locked
up. There is nigger in the white
horse wood pile somewhere. The de-
scription which Liveryman Dinan now
gives of the man who hired his white
horse the night Of May 4, and the de-
scription Capt. Schaak says he first re-
ported the latter to him, are as far apart
as light and darkness. The discrepancy
was brought to light when a reporter
asked the captain yesterday why it was
he had not had Detective Coughlin's
Michigan friend arrested if it would
have been such an easy matter.
S'Why, he was not the man who drove
DR.. CrOnin away that night" protested
''He was not anything like him. The
description Dinan gave me of the man
DOES NOT TALLY AT ALL
with that Mrs. COnklin gives of the man
she saw driving DIR. CrOnin away. just
let me read you my notes of what each
of them told me-" The captain looked
through his papers a moment, soon
finding those he was in search of. Ac-
cOrding to them Dinan had described
the man who hired his horse
as follows: "He was about five
feet four inches high, not very
heavy, had a reddish mustache and
stubby beard as though he had not
shaved for week, and wore a shabby
light gray overcoat. He looked like
workngman. He had on stiff hat and
was cross-eyed. His eyes were light in
color and his complexion also light"
''Now how could man with such ap-
pearance," asked the captain, s'be mis-
taken for the one described by Mrs.
Conkiin? The man she saw had dark
his face, a black mustache and dark
restless eyes. She noticed his eyes par
ticularly. so if he had been cross
eyed she could not have failed to notice
it The description Dinan now gives of
COughlin's friend. however, tallies very
closely with that given by Mrs. COnklin.
and is widely different from the notes
Capt. Setback took of his first state
ment.
DIR. CRoNIN'S BODY
was etremoved from the undertakers
to the First cavalry armOry until after 4
o'clock this afternoon. The delay was
caused in the first place by the fact that
a easket had net been selected nor the
body prepared, and when they were
ready the platform on which the casket
.was to rest at the armory had not been
tcoMpleted. Mr.. and Mrs. COnklin
called at Birren & Carroll's ettice, III
East Chicago avenue, this morning to
select coffin, choosing handsomely
ornamented extension bar-handle metal
lie casket. At their request
plate was engraved with the
following inscription: "Philip Pat
rick Henry Cronln, born April Z,
I 1916, died May 3, 1889" Mrs. COnklin
had not seen the face of her dead friend
since the body was discovered, and at
her request the box was opened and the
features ,uncovered.. She gazed at them
closely for a moment, but without any
traces of emotion, only saying as she
turned away. that she recognized the
body beyond a doubt as that of DR..
:GI0nip. The casketesis &svery heavy
one, and with the body weighs over 6OO
pounds. Word was sent from the
armory at o. 'clock that everything was
in readiness, and Mfr. Carroll started
with the remains at once, the hearse
being followed by single coach.
