Chicago, Nov. St. As the long job of
obtaining a jury to give Dan Coughlin,
the alleged Cranio murderer, a new trial
as ordered by the state supreme court
comes to a close the question of hi re-con-victiun
comes to the front; and in view of
the dispersal of witnesses since the origi
nal trial it has been feared that the prison
er would escape tbU time. But the state
prosecutor was never more confident of
convicting an accused man than he is at
present iu Dan Coughlin' case, basing
his confidence on new evidence which has
come to light.
Fvldenro That D'mM Haag Theam All.
ludeed the prosecution says it has evi
dence that would have hanged the whole
batch of suspects who were tried at the
first trial. Whether he include little
Kunzc, whose only proven offene was
being an acquaintance of several of the
suspects and having been seen with Cough
lin tbe night of the murder, was not de
veloped. Aud the origin of this evideuce
is a woman s quarrel with ner husband.
the husband being Andrew Foy, whose
whereabouts on tbe night of the murder
was a mat tr of question with the detec
tives. Fa, and His Wife Doa't Get Oa.
Now Andrew Foy and his wife do not
get on together and tbe wife and husband
nave separated. Tbe trouble which has
culminated in this separation was in the
bud at the time of Cronin's murder. Re
ferring to the value of hex latest testi
mony State Attorney Kern says: "I will
not only convict Dan Cooghlin to a cer
tainty, but feel morally certain of con
victing two other men whose names have
never heretofore been mentioned in connec
tion with the case aud whose arrest, I
promie you, will be one of the most sen
sational incideuts in this celebrated case."
Mrs. Foy has been of value to tbe state
in the caae before, but this late testimony
is by far the most important she has ever
given.
rvrr C'uaaecte With the Crime.
It should not be supposed that hereto
fore Andrew Foy had been connected
with the erimp; he had merely been sus
pected; but now he is not only suspected,
but if his wife is to be believed is connect
ed also, aud 'lie detectives are looking for
him. a Oozea of tliem. They are still
wanting to know v Lere he was oa the
uigbt t May 4. 1SH. Mrs. Foy 'a testi
mony is lather ex pl:cit on this point, if
reports are to be believed.

Mrs. Key's story, as told to State Attor
ney Keru. is a follow: "For a long time
betore the Crotiia murder all tbe men who
were tried except John r . lieges were :n

of the late General Rusk to pay a last sad
tribute to "his memory. And gathered With
them are many of the most prominent
men of the state and nation. General
Harrison is here and most of the men who
were named to act as pall-bearers, both
active and honorary are also here. The
funeral is in the charge of the Masonic
rder, with the Ixyal Legion, Grand
Army and Odd Fellows assisting and act
ing as escort.
The last act of the sad ceremony will
be the firing of a salute by tbe G. A. R.
Yesterday afternoon services were held at
the homestead attended by only the fam
ilyandafew friends. Then the casket
which is of eetiar in an outside case of steel.
which is burglar proof was borne to the
Methodist church at this place, where the

watched nil the time by a guard of honor
from the G. A. R. During tbe daylight
hours from yesterday afternoon until t
p. m. today there was a continual proces
sion through the church to gaze a last
time ou tbe face of the dead.
Tbe religious services today were con

at at a time they would remain in earnest
consultation. At first I did not pay much
attention to these meetings, which I sup
posed weremvrely Uuliseuss routine lotlue
matters. J-iualiyl became suspicions of
their object aud asked u.y husband about
'them, lie became violently agitated and
! roughly elvied me to 'mind my own
j bnsins. Then I became determined to
I find out the object of these meu.aud found
that it was tlie assassination of Dr. Cronin.
I "DuV t lie men who were convicted were
' not the ou!y men who were regular at.
tendantsat these meetings. There were
two 'other men who were prominent in
these ccunci'is, but have hitherto escaped
suspic ion. The right of May 4, ISs, the
date ff the doctor's murder, Andrew Foy
was abseut' from his home all ntglit, re
turning in the early morning. Ilisclothts
were cavered with mud and there were
stains on them in many planes. His shoes,
also, looked as if he had been wading
through a t-wamp. 1 asked him how he
bad got his clothes in such a condition.
but he told me not to be so inquisitive
about matters that did not concern me.
This is the story that Mrs. Foy told tbe
stale attorney, and in addition she gave
the names of the two men who were ire
oueutersof the weekly meetings. These
men are accessible at any time, and wiien
tbe proper chain dl evidence is prepared
will be takeu iuto custody.
There is another story going tbe rounds
that looks somewhat fishy, bnt is declared
true by Captain Schuettler, of the police
force. It is to the effect that two weeks
before Cronin was murdered a grave was
dug for bis body and a farmer tells tbe
story.
He says that be had wearied from a long
walk and sat down in a quiet spot in
tbe woods north of tbe city when a baggy
containing a woman aud two men stopped
about 1"0 yards east of where he sat
One of tbe men, described as thick-set.
stoop-shouldered and red-baired, leaped
from the buggy and taking therefrom
spade and a bm-die disappeared in the
wood. Tbe woman, who was driving,
then turned the buggy around and drove
east with iter companion. One hour Inter
the buggy with tbe man and womau in
it returned, and tbe man with tbe spade
met it. minus, however, his bundle, lie
Jumped into the buggy and it drove off.
Then tbe farmer began an exploration
of the wood, aud soon came across a newly
dug grave, seven feet deep, and near it a
blue blouse and overalls. He wondered
what it all meant, but it soon faded from
his mind, and even when the Cronin mur
der occurred did not connect the incident
with it. as tbe doctor's body was found in
a catch basin. Shortly after the Cronin
trial tbe farmer was fa Chicago, and while
walking on Clark street with a friend saw
the woman who bad driven the buggy,
He asked his friend if he knew who tbe
woman was, and was surprised to hear
that she was a wanuaa whose name had
frequently appeared hi the Cronin ease.
