Within 15 minutes after a brutal attack had been made Tuesday night on Mrs. Andrew Larson, about 55 years old, in Fox Lake, and the wo-- man had been robbed and locked in a lavatory in a filling station, Con-- stable Bernard Hamlin of Lake Villa arrested a Chicago youth, who later confessed his guilt, according to State's Attorney A. V. Smith. He gave his name as Thomas Frank Copyle, 20, 1255 South Wabash ave-- nue, Chicago. In order to get out of the locked room, it was necessary for Mrs. Larson, who was stripped of all her clothing except her shoes, to leap from a window to the ground, a distance of about six feet. She ran to the nearest home, Raiph Effing-- er's place, about a half block away and hysterically told of what had happened to her and the autborities of all towns in that locality and also Sheriff Lawrence A. Doolittle were notified by Mr. and Mrs. E. 8. Rush-- more of the Fox Lake telephone exchange. Dr. Rollins of Fox Lake was called to attend Mrs,.

Coyle was taken to the county jail by Constable Hamlin and Sher-- iff Doolittle and was later ques-- tioned in the office of State's At-- torney A. V.

Bonds were fixed by Justice Hoyt at $20,-- 000 and the case set for Feb. 18. In the purported confession, Coyle stated that he stole four dollars in $1 bills from Mrs. Larson and then made her disrobe. The confession states that Mrs. Larson hesitated when ordered to disrobe and that Coyle _thcn'strnck her over the head with his revolver and tore part of her clothing from her body. _ After admitting his guilt, Coyle told Constable Hamlin there was another man with him and after turning him over to the sheriff Hamlin and the posse searched the countryside for a supposed com-- panion of Coyle.
