[ —— ESTABLISHED JUNE 1 SWEPT BY HURRICANE Coast of Great Britain Beaten and Battered by Waveand Wind, SCORES OF LIVES KNOWN TO BE LOST Dosens of Vessels Wrecked in Whole or in Part by Terrible Btorm. STEAMER PRIMROSE HILL DASHED TO PIECES All but One of & COrew of Thirty-Five Men Are Carried Down to a Watery Grave. SPANISH VESSEL STRIKES AT PORTLAND Breakwater at Watchet Harbor Near ton Breaks and Cre ot All Kinds Are Driven to Ruin on Rocks. LONDON, Dec. 28.—There has been a re- eurrence of storms and violeyt gales in the channel and considerable damage has been wrought ashore. Telegraph lines are down in many places. The British steamer Rosefield, which ar- rived at Antwerp on December 22 from Pensacola, lost part of its deckload on the voyage. The hurricane is increasing at Queenstown, where the observers say it is the flercest storm in years. The Maria, laden with coal, sank at its quay. A dispatch from Holyhead says the British bark Primrose Hill, from Liverpool December 25, for Vancouver, Is drifting up the channel under bare poles. The coast guardsmen made every endeavor to assist the vessel with the life-saving apparatus, but it went on the Penrhos rocks, three miles off Southstack (not far from Holy- head). The veesel then broke in two and went to pleces in a few minutes. One man of the crew of thirty-five men was saved by a lifeboat. Some time before sho struck the Prim- rose HIill dropped her anchors, but moun- tainous seas were running. No sooner had the ilifated ship touched the rocks than the three after masts went overboard and sho broke in two, leaving the foremast standing. A few minutes later this went, t00. The vessel was soon a complete wreck. The Hibernia stood by, but was powerless. The Holyhead steam lifeboat made vain at- temps to reach the Primrose Hill. The Iatter's crew was huddled on the poop when a huge sea dashed over the vessel, washing all away save one man, who was later washed on the rocks, sustaining se- vere injuries. Vesneln ¢ de In Falmo! rhor. The British bark Queen of Cambria, from Yocopilla, August 30, for Falmouth, while being towed into Falmouth, parted its tow }ine and the force of the gale blew it across the bows of the British bark Crown of which arrived at Falmouth December San Frenelsco. The latter vessel dumege Lo M8 hend and the Queen mbria was cut down to the water's edge. It has been beached and is leaking. Dispatches from Cardiff indicate that the Pegasus hus not foundered, as reported. The statement of the loss originated with the sailor from its crew, who landed at Dardiff this morning. It now appears that Ihe Pegasus grounded off Lavernock Point, but was subsequently floated and towed to & place of shelter. When it grounded the boats were nearly ready for lowering and the falls of one of them carried away, pre- cipitating five men into the water. They were all drowned, with the exception of the sailor landed at Cardiff. This man was picked up by a tug. A Spanish steamer, the Encuri, was friven ashore at the Portland breakwater. The Weymouth lifehoat attempted to rescue Its crew, but the fearful seas running pre- vented them. The British steamer Penpol, for Dublin, s ashore on the sands between Aberavon ind Briton Ferry. No fatalities have oc- rurred. The gale is so furlous in the channel Ihat the continental services were sus- pended this afternoon. The British steamer Jersey City, which arrived at Bristol December 25, from New York, reports that it had a bolsterous pas- sage and that on December 18, in latitude 50 north and longitude 30 west, it labored and strained heavily, shipped quantities of water and had rails and stanchions broke. In Distress Off Eddystone. In response to requests from Eddystone light house, Plymouth sent a tug with a 1ifeboat to assist what was reported to be large steamer in distress in the channel. A terrible accident took place near Tauntono. The breakwater at Watchet har- bor ylelded to the force of the gale and became @ wreck, permitting a tremendous sea to have full play against the shipping in the barbor. Several vessels broke adrift, two foundered and five others wero driven Into a hopeless tangle In a corner between a pier and a warf, where they lay grinding each other. Thelr masts and bul- warks speedily went and their hulls were greatly battered. The damage will reach many thousands of pounds. The American bark Capricorn was driven ashore near Bude, Cornwall. Nine of the crew were drowned, one was saved and four are still on board with little likeli- hood of being relieved, as they are unable to avall themselves of the rocket appar- atus. Two other vessels are ashore on the Coruwall coast. Several were stove in at Tifracombe harbor. Battleships Are Damaged. The bark Pagna was wrecked off Trevine, near Cardiff, three of her crew being drowned and nine others being rescued by rocket lines. M. M. 8. Black Prince at Queenstown and H. M. §. Teaser at Ports- mouth were both badly damaged. Wales appears to have suffered the worst effects of the high gale, both on land and on sea. But everywhere the telegraph wires ara much disorganized. Considerablo damage to property inland Is certain to be reported. Some fifty barges and sailing crafts broke from their mooriug in the Thames alone. At Oswestry a theater was destroyed. The steamer Zesiro collided with another steamer in the channel. A lifeboat res- cued the Zesiro's crew. The mafl steamer Victorla, while ship- ping mail and baggage yesterday at Folke- stone, broke from her moorings and was obliged to put to sea. It is not known whether she has taken shelter or pro- ceeded to Caluls. Padrewski Did Not Fight D, LONDON, Dec. 20.—M. Paderewski is at Loulsanne with his wife,” says the Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, “‘and declares the story that he recently fought a duel to bo an invention. He asserts that the nervous affection from which he has been suffering has groatly diminished.” 1 Protest Purchase, BERLIN, Dec. 28.—The Frankfurter Zet- tung prints a letter from "Copenhagen, In which the writer says Germany intends buying the island of St. John for a coaling station if Denmark’'s negotiations with the United States should miscarry. The letter refers to the organization of a German syndicate for the purpose of acquiring land on the island of St. John, the syndicate including Herr Ballin, a director of the Hamburg-American Steamship company, and further says the syndicate sounded the Danish government some time ago regard- ing the acquisition of the island Py Ger- many, and that Denmark answ. that 1t was unable to discuss the question owing to the pending negotiations with the United State Now, however, according to the letter, the plan for German acquisition of the island is approaching realizstion. A representative of tne assoeiated Press showed a Korelgn office officlal the letter referred to. In reply, the official said Ger- many had never oven remotely thought of acquiring a West Indian island. He added that it recognizes the United States would have as just ground for objection thereto as Germany would have if it heard the United States was negotiating with Den- mark for the purchase of the island of Boin- holm. The official admitted that it may be true that German capitalists are trying to purchase land on the island of St. Joha, but he reiterated that the German govern- ment has absolutely nothing to do witn the project. The Foreign office regards the logger as intended (o bring pressureto bear o® the United States foo hastening the purchase of the Danish Antilles. The National Zeitung and the Taggeblatt, discussing the revived report that Germany 18 seeking a naval station in the Danlsh West Indies, affirm that Germany has never bad such an intention. Government Mouthplec: Amendment n England, BERLIN, Dec. 28.—The Kreuz Zeltung, conservative, the chelf mouthpiece of the government, whose editorlals are often pre- pared by government officials, devotes two long articles today to the Nicargua canal controversy, pronouncing the Davis amend- ment of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty a “slap for England.”” It continues: Treatles could not be more recklesaly brushed aside than they have been in this cas the United States senate. This disregard of the law of nations, which had already been manifested during the peace jons with Spain, is in the high regrettable. It I8 the counterpa, gland's treatment of the Boer republic, esident McKinley's administration has been placed {n s highly disagreeable posi- tion, inasmuch as the action of the senate is a'grave provocation to England, and 1t is impossible to face the anti-English feelin in the country. The administration coul not thus wound Yankee pride. If the president adopts the senate's po- sition England will have a moral right to prepare a Fashoda for the United States, but judging from previous exreriences she will ‘not_ do so. The prewent tone of the British press toward the United States is in striking contrast with ity feroclous tine toward France "1‘11:";; o pl nd s not Lo iy -heeatrangest | uunnm‘ nited States. | e w.mfli do 80 she wnd not the m:fl’ would be the sufferer. Fortune fs fiekl POPE ADMONISHES ~FRANCE Exe Senate for lon of Religious Orders from Ordinury Honors is Invelghed A PARIS, Dec. 20.—The Matin publishes an interviow with the pope devoted exclu- sively to the attitude of the Waldeck-Ros- keau ministry toward the religious congre- gations. Referring to the premier's speech at Toulouse on October 28, when M. Mal deck-Rousseau enlarged upon the neces- sity of the chamber passing a law regulat- ing associations, a measure directed agalnst religious congregations, the pontiff said “'The concordal is being changed from un instrument of peace into one of war and oppression. Even In Protestant countries religious orders aro not excluded from the honors enjoyed by other associations. They will probably return to England and the United States as in the days of the Terror. 1 hope the French government will not renounce the service I am still able to render her. Several times lately I have been 8o licited by the head of a powerful state to permit the rights of France in the east and far east to be disregarded. I have refused, although compensations were offered to the church. But if the or- ders, without which Catholle expansion in impossible, are to be suppressed, what an- swer shall 1 give in a day when similar proposals are made LONDON, another article on American engineering processes, deals with educational influences and arrives at the conclusion that it Is not so much superiority of technlcal educa- tion which explains this progrees as the fact that Americans give to young men positions which in England are supposed to belong to long experience, Commenting editorially upom the whole situation and in a regretful tone, the Times say t is useless to disguise the fact that Great Britaln is being outdis- tanced. The competition does not come from the glut caused by miscalculation as to the home demand. Our own steel makers know better and are alarmed. The threat- ened competition In markets hitherto our own comes from efficiency in production such as never before has been seen.” Am BER! celved see: “PEKIN, Dec. 27.—~A column commanded by Major Mall will start tomorrow for San Hoslen to co-operate with the Grucher ex- pedition, which left Tien Tsin on December 19 for Yuen Tien Tslen.

MAY BE VALUABLE DISCOVERY Chicngo Sclentist Experiments with Alter ng Currents of tricity on Cat. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 28.—N, C. Shel- linger of Chicago today in the presence of a number of persons interested in the progress of sclence, shocked a cat ap- parently to death, and when the heart of the feline had long ceased to beat Mr. Schellinger reversed the curent of elec- tricity and the shock restored the heart beats, although they were very feeble at first. Within two hours after the cat had been pronounced dead it had been re- stored to the fullness of life and vigor and was as playful as ever. The current was kept turned on until there seemed no possibility of doubt of ihe fatality. Several physiclans examined the animal and all agreed it was dead. In five minutes more an alternating current of low power was started and In the courso of a few seconds the heart action com- menced. Electriclan Scchellinger says there is no doubt in his mind that any person who has seemingly been killed by an electric shock can be restored if intel- ligent action is shown on the lines adopted by him today and If the vietim can receive such attentfon within a few minutes after the accident has oceurred DIVEKEEPERS ARE INDICTED Chicago Grand Jury Spreads Drag Net for Alleged BEvil Doer: CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—Keepers of fourteen dives and gambling houses were indicted today.

PARIS, Dec, 28.—~(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—Alice Worth- ington, an American art student living in a small furaished room in an obscure street In the Latin Quarter, was found un- conscious in her reom today. Examina tion disclosed that she was dying of starv- ation. Miss Worthington arrived in Paris last February. She lived modestly and made few acquaintances and never told where she resided. A fortnight ago she met two other American girls copying palutings in the Luxembourg. Thereafter for a week they met dafly. Alice told them she knew no one in Paris and lived only for art. The glrls think that Alice said that her family lived in Rochester or Buffauo. At the eund of a week Alice finished copying Bougu- reau’s “Mere Consolatrice’” and sald good- by to her friends. This morning the girls were informed that the concierge in a neighboring house wanted to talk to them ‘The conclerge sal Are you Americans? Well, a countrywoman ¢f yours fs very ill in my house.

DYNAMITE WON'T BE THAWED Six Men Blown to Atoms as Result of Explosion in Rallroad Build- ers’ Camp, KEYSER, W. Va, Dec., 28.—One of the most disastrous accidents in the history of railroad building in this section is re- ported from Baker cimp, near Burbin, Pocahontas county, on the line of the Coal and Iron raliroad, now bullding out from Elkins.

The dead men (were Bl ‘atoms, legs, arms and hands, and eveu parts of thelr bodies being found in different directions from the little bullding I which they lved. Physiclans hurried from Green Bank and worked all night with the wounded, some of whom begged the doctors to shoot them, instead of helping them to live, to be blinded or maimed for life. On account of indirect connections with the camp it is impossible to secure the complete detalls tonight.

CHARGE OF BLACKMAIL UNCONTRADICTED South Omaha Business Man Asserts ut He Collected $440 from Slot Machine Men for Miles Mitchell, The impeachment of the testimony of Miles Mitchell, chief of police of South Omaha, in the election contest case was made more emphatic at yesterday's ses- slon by evidence given by J. E. Glick and P. M. Mullen. Mr. Glick's testimony, which was given in a strajghtforward and convincing man- ner, showed clearly that no conversation occurred between Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Mitchell at the latters office between 1 and 2 o'clock on election day, as alleged by Mitchell. It showed further that when Mitchell was deputy sherift in South Omaha four years ago an uncottradicted charge of accepting money for granting gambling privileges was published against him and that the same charge was reiterated by a prominent business man of South Omaha only a few days ago. Mr. Glick, in reply to questions from the lawyers, sald: “I have been employed at the South Omaha branch of The Bee for six years On the last election day Mr. Rosewater ar- rived in South Omaha some time after 11 o'clock and I met him at The Bee office. He told me that he wanted to confer with some of the republican leaders of the town and asked me to get him a room where he could receive them. I started out with the intentlon of securing Mayor Kelly office, but I met Chief Mitchell on the sldewalk and he gave me the key to his office and said we might use it. Mr. Rose- water, with Mr. Llewellyn and Mr. Mullen, then went into the chief's office and on the way there Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Mitchell met, but had no conversatio further than to pass the time of day. I was immediately sent out to find Mr. Col- lins and as I came out of the office I saw Mitchell In his buggy out in front. He drove away In one direction and I started off in another. This was about 11:30 o’clock and I returned to the chief's office before 12 o'clock and remained there continually until about twenty minutes after 2. During that time, from 12 until 2:20, T am sure that Mitchell did not come into the office. Mr. Rosewater went out to lunch with Collins and Mayor Kelly about 1 o'clock and did not return until after 2. Mitchell's Testimony Discredited. Mr. Simeral read the testimony of Mr. Mitchell, in which it was alleged that Mr Rosewater and he had a conversation in his office between 1 and 2 o'clock on election day and that Mr. Rosewater asked him to send a couple of toughs out to break up an election board. Mr. Glick was asked If any such conversation took place and he re- pled: "It did not, because neither Mr. Rotewater nor Mr. Mitchell was in the office between 1 and 2 o'clock. I am sure that Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Mitchell did not meet in the lutter's office at any time between 12 o'clock and 2:20 o'clock on elec- tion day, for I was there all of that time." “Were you in South Omaha in June, 1896?" asked Mr. Simeral. “Yes,” roplied the witness. “Did you cut the article T have here from a paper called the Wasp, published in South Omaha at that time?" “Yes." Then Mr. Simeral introduced in evidence the clipping referred -to, which contained the following statement: ““Not long ago it was reported that Dep- uty Sheriff Mitchell was after gambling de- vices and had been pald $500 to drop the matter. When we asked Mr. Holland it this was so he sald that amount of money had not been paid, but that a good, round sum had." Mr. Glick then stated that the Holland referred to was W. L. Holland, now the manager of the telephone exchange at South Omaha, and that *he Mitchell re- ferred to was the same man who is now the chief of police. Glick showed the clipping to Mr. Holland only a few days ago and the latter sald to him: “Mitchell wanted some money and I went out among the boys who operated the slot machines and collected $440 for him." Mr. Smith cross-examined Mr. Glick sharply, but made no change in his testi- mony. Mullen Corroborates Glick. P. M, Mullen’s evidence was important only in that it corroborated Mr. Glick's statement regarding the incidents attend- ing the arrival of Mr. Rosewater and his friends at South Omaha on election day. Mr. Mullen said that Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Mitchell had merely passed the time of day when they met in front of the chief's office. Mr. Mullen was not in the chief's office between 1 and 2 o'clock and conse- quently he knew nothing of what happened there at that time. County Clerk Haverly was recalled and the writ of mandamus directed to him and the other members of the board of can- vassers, in which Frank T. Ransom re- lated that they threasened to open the ballot boxes and go behind the returns of the election officlals and count in can- didates who had not received the largest number of votes, was read by Mr. Simeral, who asked the witness if at any time he had contemplated such action. Mr. Haverly declared that he had never thought of such a move as Ransom related in the mandamus proceedings. Mr. Smith asked the witness if it was not true that certificates of election were made out in his office before the canvass of the votes was completed. Mr. Haverly oxplained that certificates had been written out in advance so that they would be ready for delivery to the successful candidates immediately upon concluding the canvass. He did not make out the certificates and did not know in what names they were made out, but unsigned certificates might have been prepared in advance for all of tho candidates on both tickets so as to avold any delay In the delivery of the docu- ments to the successful candidates. NOTARIES WILL HAVE TO WAIT South Omaha Ballots and Poll Books Go to County Court First, County Clerk Haverly has decided what to do in the matter of the conflicting de- mands made upon him for the ballots and poll books used in the recent election at South Omaha. The county court ordered the ballots and books to be produced in the contest e of Parlsh inst Bhields in that court on January 7, and that the notaries in the contest case of Schultz et al Against Liddell et al made a demand for the same documents for transmission by them to the secretary of state at Lincoln on December 31.

LN m.. .17 MR OBJECTS TO TRIAL ON FRIDAY Mrs, Nation Has Common Superstition Attaching to Sixth Day e Week. WICHITA, Kan., Dec, Mrs. Carrle Nation, the Woman's Christian Temperance union woman from Medicine lodge, who broke mirrors in the Carey hotel bar room yesterday, appeared for trial in the city court thls afternoon and announced that because her lawyer disappointed her at the last moment she was ot prepared to answar to the charge and desired to have the case continued. “What day will sult your convenience?" asked the court Almost any day the latter part of next week,” was the answer. “How will Friday do?" “Not at all, your honor. Christ was crucified on that day and I am afraid that my enemies will crucify me also it tried on Friday By consent of both:sides the case was then continued until Saturday, January b. A number of citizens and Woman's Christlan Temperance union members have offered to go on Mrs. Natlon's bail, but she refuses to leave prison until the charge against her is cleared up. She has no fears at all as to the outcome of the trial and in this she is supported by lawyers well up in their profession Mrs. Nation was followed to her cell by at least 100 Woman's Christian Temper- ance union women, who remained in prayer with the prisoner for some time. Thoe Woman's Christian Temperance urion has wired to Mr. Wooley, late presidential candidate on the prohibition ticket, to defend Mrs. Natfon. Judge Brock of New- ton had been sought, but at the last mo- ment refused to act. Mrs. Natlon still asserts that she will keep up her violent attacks on saloons in Kansas. She appeals to temperanc people “to strike while the iron Is hot.” Mrs. Nation's action way precipitate this country Into an anti-liquor war. The Woman's Christian Temperance union has taken -an actlve hand in the matter and its members say they will force this fight to the end. Mrs. Lillian Mitchner of Newton district, president of the Woman's Christian Tem- perance union, will personally conduct the campaign against the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors. A significant feature of the warrant on which Mrs. Nation was arrested is the fact that the document does not accuse her of destroying any liquors, but only specifies the mirror and saintings. Mrs. Natlon was offered her liberty on condition that she would refrain from sa- loon-smashing in the future, but she re- fused, saying it was her fixed intention to fliug rocks at the wiaflows and glassware of Kansas Baloons until the county at- torney would throw away the cigar he held in his mouth. Nearly 100 radlcal temperance people surrounded the jall today and all joined with Mrs. Nation in singing ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee.” Mrs. Nation's husband 18 a lawyer, but she says she expects no help trom him Sensational Evidence Brought Out at St Josep ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 28.—Two sensa- tions resulted today from the evidence ad- duced ut the inguest over the murder of Frank Richardson, the millionaire mer- chant, who was shot down in his own home at Savannah on Christmas eve. The first was the establishment of the probable innocence of a business partner of the mur- dered man, whose guilt uppeared certain, and the second was probubly the fixing of responsibility for the crime on a woman and her advisor, a traveling man, who are alleged to have blackmailed the deceased out of various sums of money, covering a period of almost a year. Mrs. Richardson vas expected to take the stand today, but darkness appeared before the third witness had concluded his evidence, and it was deemed prudent by the prosecution to post- pone the testimony of the widow until to- morrow. Charles Stanton, superintendent of the electric light station, testified that Richard- son was very much afraid of Goldle White- head, a young woman who resided at Stan- | berry, Mo., with whom Mr. Richardson had been on intimate terms, and who appeared to be hounding him for money. The day before the murder Richardson had told him he had given $50 to a traveling man to give to Goldie and that the traveling man had kept half of the money. Mr. Stanton had talked with the Whitehead woman after the murder and she had sald she was ‘“not afrald of them ever getting her” for the crime. Sensational evidence is expected to- morrow.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE GANG SOUGHT Ohief Donahue Certain It Was Not at Houte Used as Prison, THIRD BANDIT REAPPEARS IN'THE GAME COonclusive Evidence that There Were More Than Two Conoerned. BOY AIDS THE POLICE MATERIALLY Able to Reeall Incidents and Scrapa of Converantion Which Have Im- portant Bearing on the Pro ecution of the Search. As evidence accumulates in the Cudaby Kkidnaping case the police see fit from time to time to modify their views of the matter as & whole, and these modifications in several instances have extended into phases of it which were supposed to have been long since closed. For example, iho police belleve now that the real rendezvous of the gang never has been found, Tha cottags on Grover street, known as the Melrose Hill house, according to this ro- vised oplnlon, was their prison, not their headquarters. It was used simply as a stronghold for the retention of young Cudahy, whilo thelr “cfice,” the placo whera thelr plans were (ormulated, where the letter was written and where, finally, the $25,000 in boodle was divided, was somewhere at a considerable distance froin the cottage on Melrose iill The principal reason’ for this opinion was the fact that during the last few days young Cudahy has recalled several scravs of conversation between the bandits while they were carrylng him away which he could not remember during the early hours of reaction from the intense nervous strain, and these scraps seem (o hint at a general meeting place for the gang. Ove of the bandits said: “Which place shall we take him to?" The boy couldn't catch the answer, but the fact that the question was asked certainly suggested the exist- ence of two “places’ both of them adapted to the purpose in hand. Looking for the Real Den. “One thing that gives color to the theory that there were two places,” sald the chisf, “Is the fact that (he band.ts never pald mors thau two or three visits to the Melrose Hill house, all told. Now, if it is true that they had been watching for an opportunity to catch one of Mr. Cudahy’s little girls for two months prior to December 18, it must bo that they held a great many con- terences—perhaps one every night. Now the question is, where did they hold these conferences? Again, the letter they wrote to Mr. Cudahy, naming terms upon which he could ransom his som, was not written in the Melrose Hill house. Thero was no table in that house, and no other facilities for writing letters. And finally, the kid- napers must have gone to some house to count over the money and divide it befora they started the boy on his way home. They wouldn't count in on the open prairie, and wa know they didn't take it to the Melrose Hill house to count it, so they must have taken it to their office. We have no idea as yet where this rendezvous is, but we hope to find it, and when we do we will have nc- quired another valuable piece of evidence." of a Th Bandi There is another point upon which the kidnaped boy's memory has been refreshed, and this restores the case to Its original basis of three bandits, instead of two. It will be remembered that when the “dark- complexioned man, with a black mustache and black hair, tinged with gray” (Edward Johnson), was eliminated from the case, it was thought that only two kidnapers re mained, but another has been substituf in his place. This third bandit rode be- hind the buggy which was occupled by th other two bandits and young Cudahy. The kidnaped boy says there were the sounds of a horse's hoofs a few yards behind the vehicle all the time during that memorable ride to his prison house. Before they blindfolded him he caught several fleeting glimpses of the mounted man, and after his eyes were bandaged he could hear the clat- ter of the horse's hoofs. Once one of his captors turned around and addressed some remark to the rider, but he did not catch its import. Of the three bandits in the case it Is Kknown to a certainty now that one of them was Pat CrBwe, the Ilight complexioned man. The others remain to be accounted for. One of these was the large, heavy-set man, “with the black mustache, and hair tinged with gray' for whom Johnson was mistaken. Of the third, even less Is known, bu* it i supposed that he is the “small, dark complexioned man' who accompanied Pat Crowe to the home of Daniel Burris on Grand avenue to buy the bay pony. s an Outsider in View, The chief is still firm in the opinion ex- pressed earlier in the case that the plot was conceived and perefected in the brain of a man who has not yet appeared In the matter and who took no active part in its execution, but who enjoyed a liberal share of the opoils. This man, he says, {s stil lving In Douglas county. His pame {8 not commonly mentioned in con- nection with crime and criminals and bo thinks he is secure, “but I have & surprise party in store for that gentleman,” sald the chief. “Ho is being watched and we will strike when the proper time comes.” Chief Donahue says he expects to have the Pacific Junction pony in Omaha by this afternoon. CROWE IS FULLY IDENTIFIED Mrs. Cooper Pictu out Selects . Twenty-Five Othe of 1t any doubt existed in the minds of the polico as to a connection between Pat Crowe and the bay pony at Pacific Junction It was removed when Thursday afternoon detectives took twenty-five plotures, chosen at random from the rogues’ gallery, among which were two photographs of Crowe, to Mrs. Thomas B, Cooper at 4319 Grand ave- nue, and asked her if sho saw among them any likeness of either of the men who had called Docember 13 and 14 to buy the pony, After looking them over carefully she se- locted the two pictures of Pat Crowe. “These,” sho sald, “look like the Ilight- complexioned man who called. I don't see any pleture hers that resembles the dark- complexioned man." This the police believe to be the most satisfactory test of the identity of the light- complexioned bandit which has come te hand thus far. It seems to leave no pos- sibility of & doubt that he is Put Crows,
