John Coyne. the saloOn-keeper who was
robbed by masked men three weeks ago,
fatty denies the statement that lie told
the police of the identity of the four men
who robbed him. Coyne expressed his
readiness 10 go before the Grand Jury
should that body decide TO question him
regarding his alleged efforts TO prevent
the guilty parties from being brought 10
justice. Immediately after the Coyne rob-
berry the saloon-keeper told the police of
four young fellows whom he said he be-
lieved were the guilty parties. Acting on
his information the men were arrested,
and even after arrest Coyne repeated his
belief that the police had the right men.
Later he changed his mind and, accord
ing to the police, said that his hands were
tied so that he could not take steps to-
ward prosecuting the suspects. On this
showing they were released.

the stun are George Westran, Willie
Luhr. Charles Halpin and Charles Ander-
son., all of whom reside in the neighbor-
hood of the oil works. These young fell
