THE COUGHLIN CASE.
Another Juror Dismissed for False
Swearing.


Swearing.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-The Coughlin case
furnished fresh sensation this morning,
when the attorney for Coughlin presented
affidavits showing that Juror Fred c.
Rehm swore falsely in his examination
for admission to the jury when he said he
had been at Toledo during the time of the
Cronin murder. The affidavits showed
that he was in Chicago and attended the
Cronin funeral. The attorney asked that
he be discharged. This Immediately fol-
lowing the dismissal of the two jurors at
the request of the prosecution, for having
secured places on the jury in Coughlin's
interest, leaves the case in a chaotic con-
dition almost unprecedented.
Judge Tuthill took the request under
advisement. The prosecution claims it is
an attempt of the defense to offset the
effect of the dismissal of the two jurors
on the application OF the prosecution.
