LETTER-WRI l'ffl_S_ GET BUSY M. € i Many ¥ nhy and Hombard Chter of the Mails, pple the Through The crank letter-writer is becoming ac- tive In the Cudahy kidnaping case. Both E A. Cudahy, sr., and the chief of police have geveral communications whbich, it is believed, are the handiwork of this particularly troublesome class of cltizen. The motive which prompts the writing I8 in most cases Impassible to divine; in others it is more obvious, but fow geem (o have any information ot value to impart these Indi- vidvalg, so handy with the quill, seem to be in sympathy with the kidnape others with the authorities Bome app inipelled solely by a desire to becloud the received indeed Some of case and worry the | with senseless taunts, Some, considering themselves pos- sessed of anmlytical ability like that of Sherlock Holme throw out covert hints that they would like to be employed in the case as private detectives, The matter has recelved ch wide publicity that letters arrive from all sorts of remote points. One was recelved Monday from San Francisco frem a man who sald that if Mr. Cudahy would pay his way to Omaha he would give bim some information that would lead to the capture of the bandits. The police of San Francisco, who were wired at once to arrest him and find out what he knew, replied he knew absolutely nothiong ukout the case except what he had read in the newspapers, 0 this man's ingenious schemo to get a free railroad ticket failed, Letters from a The most Interesting of these letters and the ones that promise the most substantial returns, are mailed at Cincinpati, but aps pear to have been written in Omaha, and that are signed “Elolse T They are written legibly with pen and ink in a feminine hand on Windsor hotel (Omaha) lotter paper and appear to have been sent from Pero to Cincinnati and mailed there by confederate, Two of these were recelved Monday by Mr. Cudahy (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and one by the chief of police The one received by the chief refers to the other two, and says that in them the writer has opened negotiations with Mr. Cudahy to reveal to him for a con- sideration the names and whereabouts of the kidnapers. Of the two received by Mr. Cudahy one turned over to the chiet of police, who forwarded it at once to the authorities at Cincinnati with instructions to find, it possible, the person wlo wrote or malled it there. The other Mr. Cudahy mall to Chiet Donahue, who wlill receive 1t this morning. The chief sees very little significance in the “Bloise T." series of letters heyond an attempt on the part of someone to throw the police off the right track. The ones of which ho bas knowladge make no attempt to “open negotlations,” but are devoted to taunting the police with their fallure to find the bandits. In one of them the writer asks: “What would you do with those mex it you caught them? You have no law under which you could prosccute.” In another place she says: ‘‘Pat Crowe had nothing to do with the abduction, and Don- abue knows he did not.” And again this obscure sentence: “How about those let- ters to 0. 8.; thought they were destroyed?” | She takes speclal pains to leave the fm- pression that all parties implicated in the case have long sinco left Omaha and its vicinity. “Woman in the Case.” The theory s held by some of the de- tectives that “Eloise T. may be the mys- terfous woman who called with the light- complexioned outlaw to rent the Grover street cottage; that she received less than what she considered her just share of the #polls, and that she is now trying to trighten her pals into a generous division, They think the letters were written in Omaha, inclosed fn large envelopes and sent to a friend In Cincinnati, who removed the large envelopes and remailed the letters proper to the Omaha address. This was done, in thelr opinion, to make more difficult the work of tracing the letters to their au- thor, SUSPECTS HIDING IN DENVER Detectives R and Denn ern, Seek Se that Sipole perlenced Kidnap- DENV] . 24.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Miko Sipole and Lizzie Dennis, who aro believed to have been accomplices of Pat Crowe in kidnaping Eddie Cudahy, are fn Deuver, in hiding.

He does not seem to have taken advantage of the oppor- tunity that was presented to him to make partisan capital out of it. It is to be inferred from the fact that he appointed a democrat to succeed Mr. Gardiner that he was not swayed by partisan motives in taking the action that he did. 1 think that the general feeling at election time was that the officers of the law had be- haved very badly.

With him were five others convicted and sentenced for the same of- fenke and six others are behind the bars of the Alleghany county jail for shorter terms. Warner and his companions were shaved, thelr bair was clipped short and striped clcthes were put upon them as in the case with ordinary malefactors. efforts are being made to induce Governor Smith to pardon Warner, as it is generally believed his offense was more technical than actual, his contention being that he was attempting to prevent the trouble rather than inciting it, as was asserted by the prosecution at the trial.
