Withdraw His Offer of Reward. Threatens to Steal Another Child of the Millionaire if the Mandate Is Ignored. % Special Dispatch to The Call OMAHA. Dec. %.—E. A. Cudahy, the miilionaire packer, has reccived a second communication from one of the men who kidnaped his son. This time, as formerly, | the letter comes in the nature of a threat, | and says in substance that unless he with- | draws his offer of $5000 reward for the arrest and conviction of each of the three bandits they will kidnap another of his children. The letter refers to the failure of the police to get anything like a tangible clew as to the identity of the kidnapers, scoffs at the idea of Pat Crowe being which the “first job was_pulled off” and is as wise as he showed himself in tje | first instance he will comply with | 1equest and withdraw the rewards at orce. This letter is written in pen and ink | on the same kind of yvellow paper as the | first and evidently by the same person. | Tt was found by a servant of the Cudahy household early on the morning of Thurs- day, December 27. Some one called up the house by telephone and asked if Mr. Cudahy was in. The servant answered that he was not. “Well,” came the volce over the phone, “you go out in the front yard and ycu'll find a letter there, near the gate. Itf's addressed to Mr. Cudahy. ' See that it's dnll\ered to him personally and to no ons else.” 3 The servant wem out at once and found It was in a piain white velope and was addressed ‘‘Mr. Cudhhy Sr., personal and private.” Mr. Cudahy, who was then at his nack- ing-house over In South Omaha, was summoned home at once. No one was permitted to see the lctter at first except Mr. and*Mrs. Cudahy, Mr., | Cudahy’s impression at the time was that he would keep Its contents to himself, as the bandits had requested, but later he thought better of it, as he belioved that in the hands of the police it would prove a valuable clew, so this afternoon he took Chief Donahue into his confi- dence. They held a consultation at the Chief's office which lasted nearly three hours, The Chief was seen afterward, but re. fused to disclose the nature of the sub- ject digcussed. “Mr. Cudahy says he has not withdrawn the reward, nor will he do 0. The reward stands as originally enunciated. Eddie McGee, alias Burns, allas Ralston, the notorious leader in the Beals kidnap- ing at Kansas City nine years ago, and who served a term of five years in the penitentiary for the crime and a term in the Joliet prison for another offense, is row wanted by the police as the “dark- complexioned” man in the Cudahy ab- duction case. McGee is well known in Kansas City, Denver and Illinois cities, and is also known to bé a friend of Pat Crowe. The fact that the abductors told young Cudahy he was “wanted as Eddie McGee for stealing $300 from his afnt” is considered significant. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29.—McGee, alias Burns, had as an accomplice in the ab- duction in 1891 of Banker Beals’ son a woman who passed as his wife and went “inder the names both of Lizzie Burns and Lizzie Clevidence. She as well as McGee served a five years' sentence in the Missouri penitentlary for the crime. The real leader of the gang was knowa as Ralston, who clalmed to be a Denver detective. Ralston secured the $5000 ran- som offered for the return of the child end was never apprehended. ST. JOSEPH, Dec. 20.—For the fourth time the police and detectives of this city have been outwitted by Pat Crowe and the men who are alleged to be instru- mental in keeping him from the clutches of th: police. Captain Henry Franz led a squad of officers in a rald on a build- ing this evening in which it was supposed Crowe and Ralston, alias McGee, were in hiding, but the officers found no trace of the men. Policemen Dillon and Car- son sald to-night that Crowe and Ralston were in the building this afternoon, but that they had left when the officers in- vestigated, and they thought probably they would return to-night. LA SALLE, IIL, Dec. 20.—The police of Peru, a town adjoining this city, have ar- rcsted a mysterious stranger who is said to be Pat Crowe, the Omaha kidnaping suspect. The prisoner, it was discovered, wore a wig, apparently for disguise. He had $2300 in his possession. The Peru po- lice have notified the Omaha police of the capture. . £ Wreck Sighted.

It is understood that information will be filed by the police chargfhg “Dr. | Carle”” with being a dangerous and sus- picious character. The prisoner arrived at the St. Charles yesterday, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Mackenzie, reputed to be a | wealthy English couple. Carle asked for | the finest suite in the house. Employes of the house recalled a resemblance be- tween Dr. Carle and George D'Essauer, who stopped at the hotel a yvear ago, when it was understocd he was paying attention to an opera singer. ; Carle strongly denied the charges, but city detectives claim to fully identify him as D'Essauer.

J., Dec. 20.—"Bob” Fitz- simmons, the actor-pugilist, took a hand in an arrest here to-day. While seated with his wife In a Broad-street restau- rant he saw a young man take down a turkey from a hook -utside and start to make off with it. The pugilist told the proprietor, who sent out after the thlef, catching him about a half block away. The fugitive proved to be a fighter and the restaurant man shouted for help. Fitzsimmons ran to the spot, grabbed the thief and shook him into submission. As the two captors were bringing their man back to the restaurant an accompiice of the thief came up from behind and made a pass at Fitzsimmons. Warned in time, however, “Lanky Bob” turned quickly, swung his mighty left and his assailant rolled in the gutter. The prisoner was locked up under the name of Joseph Lee and this morning went to the penitentiary for four months. —_— Body of an Unknown Found.

Last April D'Essauer suddenly left Chi- cago and his pretty wife at their home, 52 Astor street. For over a year he had rosed as vice president of the Western Security Company and had had many and various dealings with Chicago banks in trading bonds. He wanted $27,500 from cne of the banks, and as security gave them the forged bonds on the Northwest- ern Gas Light and Coke Company. D'Essaner w: madly in love with Helen Bertram of the Bostonians, the widow of Actor Ed Henley after divorce from Signor Tomasi, her first husband. From city to city the bond swindler fol- lowed Miss Bertram, showering presents upon her: In 18% D'Essauer went West, from where no ore knows, and settled in Au- rora, Ill.

The couple went to Chicago and D’Essauer launched forth in the business world. He tad offices in the Chamber of Commerce building and later richly appointed rooms in the Royal Insurance building. His wooing of the actress, Miss Helen Pertram, was intermingled with costly presents and mutual friends declared the couple very much in love. Miss Bertram was still in weeds for her second husband, E. J. Henley, whom she lost and mourned violently for a year, when, it is said, D'Essauer’s fascinations and luminous pocketbook dimmed her sorrow long enough to permit her to re- ceive constant attentions from that gen- tleman, who showered her with costly g'fts and finally made over to her $0,000 WALES WILL NOT SEE THE YACHT RACE ———— | Positive Statement of the | Secretary of the Prince. —————— Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The World has the following’ from London: The report that the Prince of Wales proposed to visit New York with Sir Thomas Lipton for the yacht races was brought to the notice of Sir Francis Knollvs. the Prince’s pri- vate secretary, by the World correspond- ent to-day and the latter received the fol- lowing reply: “SANDRINGHAM, Norfolk, Dec. 28.— Dear Sir: There is nc truth whatever in the report to which vou refer.

After this transfer, which took place in California, Miss Ber- tram vowed to forget Henley and devote herself forever to the dazzling Chicagoan. A picturesque story is related in con- nection with Miss Bertram’s betrothal to D’'Essauer. When He¢nley pasfed away Miss Bertram had him cremated and part of the ashes inclosed in a heart-shaped locket of gold-lined olivewood, which Miss Bertram is said to have worn all the time next her heart. When Miss Bertram exchanged vows with D'Essauer she went through a very spectacuiar ceremony with the heart-shaped casket and Henley's ashes. Miss Bertram, D’'Essauer and some members of the Bostonians went to the Clff House in 3an Francisco, had a delightful dinner, during which the “celo brating twain renewecd their vows of af- fection, and then Miss Bertram solemn took off the charm which held Teddy ashes and cast it far out into the sea D’Essauer is said to have furnished M Bertram's costumes for “The Vice- roy,” robes which astounded judges finery, the dresses being real silk velvet and rare stuffs from Eastern climes, em - broidered with jewels and splendid bul- Hon designs, sketched for the costumes by gelebrated artists.

It is sald he had the support of some promi- nent politiclans in his first venture, but his methods were too bold for even them and they dropped him.
