ARRESTED AS SUSSMAN =
Prisoner In Rhinelander, Wis, Believed
to Be Murderer.

The police say every new detail or
suggestion of a motive brought to light
in connection with the murder Of Mrs.
Henry Sussman In the Glenwood hotel
man as the murderer. The police Of
the northwest are working to bring him
to Justice. "
Already there are results, for man
answering the description Of Sussman
has been arrested at Rhinelander, Wis,
and all information obtainable strength
ems the belief that the right man Is in
custody there.
The suspect was taken from a 500
am. today. He was excited when ar
rested, refused to talk or to give the
police any satisfaction. He declared
that he was not Sussman, but that his
| name was Louis Coyer. This man is
50 closely. guarded, that not even the
sheriff are told anything about him.
identify. the prisoner, and the train
will arrive in Rhinelander at 6:45 pm.
| Until then the Minneapolis police must
remain in doubt. Altho hopeful be-
cause the meager details given by the
men who captured the suspect tend to
show that the man is Sussman, Acting
Superintendent MealY has not relaxeds
for a moment in his, work, and he;
readily admits that fhsa Feal murderer
may still be at large.
It is considered significant, however,
that but one suspect has been arrested
when the entire northwest is on the
watch for the murderer.
Under Watchful Guard.
| So confident are the Rhinelander Of
ficials, that a double guard has been
placed over the man to prevent a repe-
tition of the Riggs suicide incident at
Elroy, Wis. When Detective Edward
Helm talked with the Rhinelander po-
lice today, he was informed that who
ever the prisoner is, he will be alive
when Detective Hansen arrives tonight.
A circumstance that tends to show
that the prisoner is Sussman is the
statement of several persons who affirm
that they saw the man in the city yes
terday afternoon. One man, who Is
employed as bartender in a Nicollet
avenue saloon, says he knows Sussman
personally. and that he was on Nlcollet
avenue as late as 2 pm. yesterday. Inns
would allow Sussman time to learn that
the crime had been discovered, and he
could have taken the 500 train which
left Minneapolis at 6:35 last evening.
