Patrick D. Tyrrell
Captain Patrick D. Tyrrell (c. 1831–April 3, 1920) was an Irish American detective of the United States Secret Service who, as head of the field office in Chicago, became involved in foiling a plot to steal the remains of President Abraham Lincoln on November 7, 1876.
==Biography==
Tyrrell was born in Dublin〔(2008:Will America's Political Civil War End? - LFTC - Letters From The Capitol )〕 and moved to the United States as a child, growing up in Buffalo, New York. He entered law enforcement in 1856 in Dunkirk, New York, and later became a detective for the Erie Railroad.〔Emerson, p. 192.〕 He moved to Chicago in 1869, where he and his wife Kate resided at a lakefront home near Lincoln Park; initially working as a private detective, he joined the Chicago Police Department under Chief Elmer Washburn. After Washburn was named Chief of the Secret Service in 1874, Tyrrell became one of his agents.〔〔Craughwell, p. 55.〕 In 1875, Tyrrell led the hunt for Benjamin Boyd, a prominent engraver who worked for a Chicago-based counterfeiting ring, and Nelson Driggs, a known dealer in counterfeit money. After a hunt that lasted eight months across five states, Tyrrell and his agents captured Boyd and his wife Almiranda in Fulton, Illinois on October 21, 1875; Chief Washburn apprehended Driggs in Centralia that same day.〔Craughwell, p. 75.〕 Boyd and Driggs were sentenced to ten and fifteen years respectively, and were held at the Illinois State Penitentiary in Joliet.〔(Stealing Lincoln's Body | The History Rat )〕〔(STEALING LINCOLN: MYTHS & MYSTERIES OF LINCOLN'S TOMB )〕 For his work in bringing down Boyd and Driggs, Tyrrell was promoted to chief operative of the Chicago field office in January 1876.〔
