Growing Darker Over the staIwart Form
of Ex- Detective Coughiin.
CHICAGO, Jan. Sat the end Of the
fourth week of taking accusing testi.
mony in the case of the people of Hi.
nois against Daniel Coughlin and
others, the chain of circumstantial
evidence has been formidably length
ened, until the publia prosecutors and
the friends of DR.. Crcdin assisting. as
well as the police officers interested,
express their confidence that convic'
ton will, or at least should, follow the
presentation of the case for the state.
On the other hand, Daniel Coughlin
and his two lawyers conceal their
fears, if they have any, and make light
of the testimony which is TO be given
in court for the first time next week
by Mrs. Horton and Frank Bardeen.
A disinterested and close observer OF
the famous conspiracy case is forced tC
the conclusion that the stalwart de-
tective stands closer to the shadow o
the gallows to-day than he did in 1889
1t is the opinion of the prosecution
and is based on the assumption that
they have conscientiously honest and
intelligent jury to deal with.
Some of the busy assistants of the
public prosecutors have pointed the
finger of suspicion at certain members
of the jury because they appear to be-
tray Indifference while witnesses are
being examined and because few are
moved to ask witnesses questions
which are interpreted by the prose
cutors favorable to Coughlin. The
lawyers and others engaged in the
case rested from their labors most OF
the day as there was no trial. but this
week promises to be as sensational as
any since the trial began.
The defense bitterly denounce the
police, alleging that they placed
threatening note under Bardeen's door
at the hotel, in order to make it appear
that he was being bounded by Cough
iin's friends. The defense claim that
Capt. Schuettler, by Bardeen's own adj
mission under examination, was the
only person in Chicago Thursday night
who knew of the witness presence IN
his city. He did not even register at
.he hotel. Bardeen moved to another
aotel Saturday and detectives are
guarding him from harm and intimIda-
ion.
