side, the immense big mass Of people parting
TO make an avenue and standing in silence
and with uncovered heads as the cortege

Three hundred uniformed men, represent

Impressive Services at the Church.
The whole street, from the sidewalk clear

No New Light on the Mystery.
The mayor and Chief Of Police Hubbard.
accompanied by Attorney Hynes who is as
sisting in the pursuit Of the Cronin assassins,
went to the Chicago Avenue station and held
a long conference with Capt. Setback re-
garding Detective Daniel Coughlin's con-
nection with the case
After the consultation it is understood that
Detective Whalen was promptly suspended
to wait further investigation. Whalen said
that after Coughlin and himself were detailed
on the Cronin case from the white horse
episode they wandered about the streets for
two days without meeting the man from
Michigan, and were about to report their
failure when Capt. Setback told thenr Of his
interview with Mrs. Conklin.
Whelan and Coughlin were then ordered to
drop the Cronin case altogether and report
for general work. A day or two after that
while they were strolling down Clark street
in the vicinity Of Illinois street. Coughlin met
a man who appeared TO know him.
Coughlin's Talk with Smith.
"I didn't pay any attention to the fellow,n
said Whelan last night, because he appeared
to be friend of Dams. Dan didn't offer to
introduce me, so / strolled along a little way
north ana waited Tor Dan 10 get through
When he got through he came over where
was standing and we walked north about
block Then he told me that the man he met
was his friend from Michigan who had
driven Dinan's horse
didn't you think it rather peculiar that
Coughlin did not introduce you to a man for
whom you had been hunting two daysF'
| Whelen was asked
~ didn't think much about it then, because
l wasn't paying any attention to the case.
1t is known that an attempt to decoy DR..
Cronin to a very lonely spot was made a
short time before the night he was killed.
The story Of the attempted but unsuccessful
effort to get Cronin to a lonely neighborhood
to see an imaginary sick man is interviewer
with other incidents that lead back TO the
Carlson cottage.
