Ceagblia Case. '
Chicago. IlwJan 15 The'prosJ
ecution in the Coughlin case to day
caused a lively wrangle between the
council when they called Court Repor-
ter Purcell to the stand to read his
notes of cos venation- between ex-
State's Attorney Longnecker and Ice
man O'Sullivan which was held before
thelatter's arrest. Ex Judge Wing
for the defence objected to the testi-
mony on the ground that a man is not
compelled to talk until be is arrested.
Associate Prosecutor Scanlin was forc-
ed to admit that he had not heard the
con venation and did not know wheth-
er O'Sullivan talked freely or not.
After Mr. Scanlin had retired crest-
fallen from the stand it was decided
to send for Mr Longnecker to tell of
the interview While waiting lor his ap-
pearance ex-Chief of Police Hubbard
took the stand and told of having ask
ed Coughlin where the. latter' was on
the night of May 4. ' "He said he
could not remember where he had
spent the dayv" said the witness "but
thought he had been around the police
station after supper. I asked him why
the man wanted Dman's ng. He re-
plied he did not know. Then I asked
tlse man's name and he said it was
James Smith adding that he lived at
Hancock Mich. He then explained
how the man had come TO him.
The cross-examination of Hubbard
was a stormy one and at last Judge
Wing dimanded that ex-Mayor Cre-
gier and several others who were pres-
ent when the witness interviewed
Coughlin be summoned.

apparently changing his tviind sVd he

jwna awakenen to-day in the Painter-
Edwaads investigation now being con-
ducted in the interest of George Pain-
ter who unless further respite is grant-
ed will die at Chicago Jan. 34 for the
alleged murder of Alice Martin
Dick Edwards in an open letter ad-
dressed to the Daily Democrat de-
clares that in his opinion the reports
from Chicago are prejudicing the pub-
lic mind against him and fears it will
interfere with.his appeal from the life
term given him upon his recent ar-
raignment for the alleged murder of
Mrs. Hattie Haynes. He reasserts
that he is the victim ol reward-hunters'.
He attaches the names of forty-five
persons who were citizens of Salt Lake
City at the time of the Martin murder
May 17 i8or and request that any or
all of them be written and he has no
lear but that in every instance a com-
plete alibi will be shown.
Some time since a press report an-
nounced that a man named Neil Dacey
had claimed to be in jail here with Ed-
wards and that the latter had made
some statements about having had
trouble with a woman in Chicago and
that had caused him to leave Chicago.
No such name as Neil Dacey was
found pn the; records at the prison
Subsequently it was learned that Dacey
in making the affidavit at Chicago
stated he was in jail here under the
name of Ross. The prison records
were consulted and no one by the
name of Ross had been at the jail since
December 1S91 or about a year be-
fore Edwards was brought back from
West Superior. Wisconsin by Sheriff"
Hughes.
A recent issue gjRe .Chicago Her-
ald contains the statement of-ajnan by
the name Edward Gleeson who says
he was in jail at West Superior with
Edwards and that he (Gleeson) was
under the alias of Larry Gallagher at
the time. He saja Edwards stated
that he hid killed three women in Tex
as and told him how he did it and
also that he (Edwards) had lived with
a woman named Alice Martin in Chi-
cago and that when another had tried
to steal her he had "fixed her so she
would never go with any other fellow."
Edwards decss having made such a
statement to anv one.
The last will and testament of Georce
Painter is published in the same paper
in which Painter wills to his mother
all his interest in his father's estate as
as long as she lives and that it is to
then go to his brothers. He concludes
with: "In the name of God amen.
I am to die innocent of this crime and
time will prove my innocence. I will
and bequeath to my brother Jasper
E. Painter of Aurora III. the title to
any claim that may be brought against
