CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The Coughlin
case came to the front with its daily
sensation today, when it was announced
that the prosecution is preparing to ask
for the dismissal of another juror.
The suspected man is Henry
E. Taylor, and it Is claimed that
during his examination some Of his
sworn statements were not in accord
ance with the facts. Affidavits regard
ing Taylor's case will, it is said, be pre-
scented to Judge Tuthlll Monday. Mean
while veniremen are being examined.
but as yet no jurors have been accepted
to fill the vacancies.
Mrs. Andrew FoY, who will be the
first witness for the state in the Cough
lin trial, will, it is reported this after
noon, testify that DR.. Cronin was
killed by ca rpenter's chisel welded
by Patrick Cooney, the long missing
suspect. The report has it that Martin
Burke, now dead. held Cronin, while
policeman, still on the force here. and
whose first name is said to be Michael,
stood guard at the door. Cooney is rep
resented to be the only one who struck
the doctor. and only Burke, Cooney
and the anonymous policeman sus-
pect were in the cottage. Iceman
OSullivan is said to have acted as
guard at the rear of Il cottage outside.
Coughlin, at present on trial, according
to the current narrative of what Mrs.
Foy will testify, was not at the cottage
until after
CRoNIN'S DEATH,
when Coughiin arrived, in company
with Mrs. Foy'S husband. Andrew Foy.
The man who drove Cronin to the Carl
son cottage is said to have been Martin
Dawn, of Hancock, Mich.
-. b. Simmons" the purchaser of
the furniture discovered in the cottage,
and who is accused of renting the fiat at
III Clark, was, it is alleged James Cum
ney, grocery clerk, whose present
whereabouts is unknown. Mrs. Foy is
represented as having learned these
details as a result of meetings held at
supposed to have been mistaken for the
little German KunZe, by the milkman,
Mortes.
One Joseph McKenna is alleged to be
the man who drove to the Carlson cottage
the wagon utilized to carry away the
corpse. Much of the story is reported
as having been CLEANED by Mrs. Foy
from her husband in his remorseful mo-
ments. Mrs. Foy says that her husband
frequently spoke of Cronin as "a worse
spy than LIE Caron," and that on the
night of May he was absent from
home, returning in the morning, mud
stained and disheveled, and explaining
to his wife that he had helped to remove
another LIE Caron. The wife is said to
have asked in horror if he had helped
to commit murder.
Murder nothing" Foy is said to have
answered. 1--WE only-killed spy. You
don't call that murder"
Defendant Daniel Coughlin is spoken
of as the chief of the supposed eXpedi

O'Sullivan, who had also entered the
house by this time, it is said, expostu

that Mrs. Foy had been upbraidine

that Martin Down, who called for tn
doctor. was sent from Hancock, Mich
by j. +. Ryan, of that place. Foy is sal
to have brought home the chiseI wit
