Plain Dealers Account OF Arrest oil
Sherman.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in its
account of Sherman's arrest, makes n
number of statements that are not
borne out by the facts. AS these
statements reflect on the officials of
Akron and Summit county, the Demo
crat takes this opportunity to state
that they are untrue. The Plain Deal
or says:
In spite of his protests that he was
II. j. Coach and an innocent man, and
in spite of the statements of half the
county officials of Summit county to
the same effect, Edward b. Sherman
of Cleveland, was arrested at Akron
by Detective Parker about 9 o'clock
last evening ON the charge of sending
a fraudulent letter through the mails
to f.. S. Underwood, general manager
of the Baltimore Il Ohio railroad, on
March . of this year.

POSTAL AUTHORITIES
Are Alleged TO be After Sherman In
Cleveland.

The Cleveland Leader contains the
following in reference to Koch's ar
rest:
A sensation was created at Akron
yesterday by the arrest of r. j. Coach,
alias Edward Sherman, n private de-
tective, who since August 24 has been
instrumental In the arrest and con-
viction of most of the persons In
yolyed in the riots which occurred
there some time ago. Detective Par
ker, of this city placed him under ar
rest at Akron on the charge Of OBJ
tanning money under false preten'
ses.
A short time prior to April l Sher.
mnn, whose right name is Il, j. Coach,
entered into partnership with n man
named Zuckerman. They started n
detective agency. Conch was en-,
gagged by the Il. & o. Railroad com
papy to do work for them. When
he sont in HIS bill It alleged that ha
received 81 O9G05 for his services,
and that later II developed that he
had not done the work expected Of
him and had not employed any men
under him, as his contract called for
f.. u. shaw, chief detective of the
II. & o, railroad, swore out warrant
for Coach's arrest, who disappeared.
He went to Akron in August and was
employed by the County Commission
ers in the riot cases. He did good
work and his identity was unknown,
as he had changed his name.
In some manner Acting Chief of
Police Dunn, of Akron, found out that
Coach was wanted In Cleveland. He
notified the police and Detective Par
ker went there and arrested him.
During the time that Coach was at
Akron he drew 81 600 ms pay for his
detective work. The police also say
that Coach Is wanted here by the
postal authorities on the charge OF
using the mails for fraudulent pur
poses.

beats but in view Of the Developments
since the arrest it believes it is not
overstepplng the bounds of propriety
to say few things in connection. At
a few minutes after 8 o'clock Acting
Chief Dunn started for the court
house to arrest Sherman. 1t was 3:20
when the man was taken into custody
at the office of the Central Union Tele-
phone company. At $50 the Demo.
crat had its regular edition on the
street giving all the details of the af-
fair. The account covered the charges
against sherman and gave the story
of his alleged crime. The Beacon
Journal, issued at the same time, did
not contain one word in reference to
the arrest Some time later the press
at the Beacon ONCE WIS StOppeu lOllS
enough to allow the pressman to put
on q page that had been made over.
A limited number of the readers Of the
Beacon found about six lines in refer
ence to Sherman's arrest. The bal
ance of the people learned of it by
reading the Democrat or from the lips
of one of the readers of this paper. 1t
was almost o'clock before the Beacon
heard of the arrest At that time re-
porter for the Beacon telephoned the
Office of Chief Dunn and asked If the
report of Sherman's arrest was true.
He was informed that it was. At that
time the Democrat was ON the street.

National Secret Service, at room 419

Commissioners had refused to believe
Dunn and believed Sherman, or
Coach's story.
When the Cleveland detective told
the supposed Coach he was under ar.
rest for sending fraudulent state.
ment to Manager Underwood of the
B. IL o., Coach stood on his dignity and
said Parker had made mistake and
that he would go back to Cleveland
only under protest Sherman's story
took with the County Commissioners,
and they wanted Parker to return to
Cleveland empty handed, but he would
not do so. Finally Sherman, so Par,
ker says, admitted that he was Sher-
man and then went to Chief Dunn and
admitted the same thing. Coming back
to this city, Parker says, the prisoner
admitted his guilt.
The warrant which was read to Sher-
man charges him with sending a frau,
dulent bill for detective work to Man,
ager f. S. Underwood of the b, & O.
railway on March 2, 1900, and with
getting $1,096.95 by means of the frau

sworn to by e. G. Shaw.
Last spring, Sherman, it is alleged,
went into partnership with a man
named Iuckerman, forming a detective
agency. Zuckerman is said to have
furnished the money and the two men
fitted up an office in the American
