Around the horn

In mid-1900's police parlance, the strategy of moving an arrested person from precinct to precinct in order to keep his lawyer away and avoid any order of bail release for as long as possible.

Then they took me from one police station to another, every few hours. Taking me around the horn, they called it, so my lawyer couldn't get me out.
