PRISONER SAYS
BURNS FAILED TO
GET CONFESSION
Detectives Effort to Associate
Carl Lestrange With Jackson
Prison Fire Peters Out
SUSPECT QUIZZED IN
DETROIT POLICE STATION
Cell Companion of Lestrange Re-
veals Secret When Trans
ferred

Light has been shed on Detective
William J, Burns absence from De-
troit by a man named Mclaughlin,
who was confined in the Mcclellan
police station in the same call block
with one Of the jackson conviets
brought here by Burns orders, fol.
lowing the burning OF the prison
twlne plant. and who heard the con-
vict's story.
Mclaughlin was held as a sus'
picious person. II was later discov-
cred that the Central station held a
warrant for him on charge OF forg-
cry. Tuesday ne was transferred 10
the county jail 1t was there that he
had an opportunity to talk TO a re-
porter.
According to Mclaughlin, the Jack
son convict held In the Mcclellan sta
ton is Carl Lestrange. and one OF the
reasons why Burns has not come
back to clean up the situation" is
that all attempts to implicate Les
TRANCE In the plot TO burn the binder
Irvine plant. or TO secure a confession
from him, have failed.
Lestrange told Mclaughlin that he
was sentenced to Jackson eight
months ago for larceny: that he went
TO prison intending TO reform. but
that the treatment he received there
debased him still further. He was
unable TO do the tasks assigned him,
and was put on a bread and water
diet He became surly, and soon
found that he was lin wrong" One
| day he was called TO the prison office,
where he was handcuffed and ironed,
taken TO the Michigan Central sta
ton, and brought to Detroit, where
he was confined In the Mcclellan sta
ton.
There, Lestrange said, he was quiz
zed by Detective Burns, who opened
the ordeal by saying:
Were you in your right mind when
you lii that candle?"
Lestrange said that he denied all
knowledge or the plot to burn the
binder Irvine plant, and that Burns
then became very angry and said that
be had lost his last chance of talking.
Lestrange was one OF the men EN-
ployed in building cement floor In
| the new addition TO the plant, he
says. Two of his fellow workmen,
|"Chuck" Morris and Jim Randall, he
declares, were handcuffed and ironed
and taken from the prison at the
same time that he was brought to De-
troit. He believes some convicts we're
taken to Chelsea. Lestrange said he
hoped he would be allowed 10 remain
| In Detroit, as he was getting fine
treatment and was eating three big
meals day.
The police department was consid-
erably perturbed when II was found
that Burns plans Of secrecy had been
betrayed. and there was rejoicing
about headquarters when II was dis.
covered that II was through no fault
| of the department.

death In the basement below, was re-
turned In 10 minutes. after the jury
had considered testimony for TWO
days.
Assistant Prosecutor Arthur Kill
patrick, Nho had charge OF the In
quest for the prosecutor. says that
the verdict and all OF the testimony
will be turned over 10 the grand jury,
now in session, as that plan had nj
ready been decided upon by 10 Chief
and associates when the element OF
criminal negligence became apparent
Prosecutor Fitzpatrick was some
what surprised at the impersonal
nature of the verdict. He says IL is
impossible TO take criminal action
against a company or corporation, and
that the verdict would have been
clearer had It mentionec a person or
persons.
K. III. Woodward was the superin
tendent in charge of the construction
work for the Goddard Co. +. II. Cod
dard himself testified that he was not
aware of the fauky state OF the cable.
Ralph Coiiamore, Smith. Hinchman
q Gryll's expert who examined the
broken cable, In sections, was the
most important witness. Wednesday
morning. He testified that the cable
was composed of 134 wire strands,
and TIT at one spot, three feet from
the point of breakage. 90 OF the
strands were broken.
Peter Olson, a splicer In the en-
ploy of j. c. Goss & Co., put the re-
sponsibility apparently squarely up to
Supt. Woodward when he swore, Tues
day, that he told Woodward that the
cable was weak over a space covering
three, floors, and that that space
should be cut out. He said Wood
ward told him that that would make
the cable too short, and to go ahead
and take out short length and splice
IL, which he did.
He said that that was 10 days be-
fore the accident. She cable was new
when installed on the job. July 3.
f. H. Goddard. head OF the con-
struction company, was on the stand,
Wednesday, and admitted that men
rode on the hoist, and also admitted
that he knew the cable had been
spliced where 1t was worn, but said
that he had not been told, by Wood
ward, OF what Splicer Olson had said
about the rest OF the cable.
