Dead in the Dough.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 4.-Got:lieb
Schmidt, baker in this city, had a
somewhat mysterious death last night.
He was found with his head complete
~ buried in dough. and there was sus-
picion for time that it was "a case of
suicide, but near his lifeless body was
the pet eat of the baker also dead.
Schmidt had been dead evidently five
hours. 1t being a holiday, he was the
only employee at work. His oven, heat
ed by natural gas. was so hot that in a
few minutes the building would have
been on fire. The theory is that the
baker and the eat were overcome by
heat or by escanin9 natural gas

The Most Useful of Minerals.

THE COUGHLIN TRIAL.
The Prosecution Continues to Startle the
Defense with New Evidence.

Defense with New Evidence.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Again something
new and startling broke in upon the
trial of Dan Coughlin and upset all ar
rangements:for continuing.ther reception
of testimony against one of DIR. Cron-
ms alleged murderers. 1t was low
witness who caused Judge Tuthill to an
nounce an adjournment after everybody
in the court room had waited patiently
an hour at the afternoon session for
the trial to proceed. Persons interested
in the case had been prepared for sudden
and startling developments during the
morning session, when Mrs. Susie
Horton, a new witness against Cough
lin, was called and stopped temporarily
from testifying under objection by the
defense. Judge Wing protested against
the good-looking woman in the witness
chair telling her story until he had
time to investigate it and question her.
He complained that he was being
worked to death and counsel for the
defendant were not receiving fair treat
ment from the prosecution. So Mrs
Wharton was withdrawn until Mon
day.
AT the morning session the state fur
nished the name of another new wit
ness and outlined his testimony to the
defense. This witness is Frank Barden,
of Oswego. Mich, and the story he tells
accuses Coughlin of being one of the
three men who drove to Edgewater in
the carpenters wagon containing
tool chest or trunk, and in which the
jury is asked to infer lay hidden the
bloody corpse of Cronin. The notice
came upon the defendant and his coun-
sci like thunder-clap from blue sky.
