Daley, James Burke, Isaac Setf and
Duncan Aclnnes. These are some Of
the same men Who now have eases for
violation OF the lAw pending against
them In the courts.
some strange things have been wins
pered around IA saloon circles about
CuddIback, 1.-The sp0tter," and q re-
porter Mas detailed 70 look hlm up i
little.
The first clew found by the reporter
vas that While cut on south Waterloo
street Thursday night, apparently spot
ting policemen, he was collared by =
patrOlman and led q box on account
Ot hls suspicious actions.
Whom he came 10 the light the officer
noticed that his man MAS disguised, and
snatched a sci OI false wh4skers Oft his
face. He then recognized Cuddlback,
but not knowing that CuddIba was
employed 10y the police department, he
insisted on his going - the box. He
called up headquarters and MAS eYl-
IDENTIFY told 10 drop him quick, Tor he
told Cuddiback TO leave.
Some OF those who saw the affair ex-
pressed the OplulOn that 10 would be 4
good plan for the officers AT headquarters
% let the men on the beats know when
they have a special man out, 80 that
they would not make a mistake and
arrest him.
lt is well known among those who
are acquainted with the police depart
ment that men are employed 10 watch
the patrOlmen, to see II they do their
duty, IS II they were not TO bc trusted,
and tins method does not seem TO have
resulted IN establishing fcclingOf con-
fidence and honor IN the department
Some OF the saloon men say that
Cuddlback offered 10 settle for 500 and
not appear against them IN the cases.
Fred J. Daley SAID that the man Cuddl-
back came 10 HIM one week ago last
sunday with the following story: Il
came TO this city short time ago com
pletely broke. and while IN sweets
Hotel | met Mr. Parks, former friend
of mine. | told HIM that | was broke,
and he invited me TO 90 out with him
for a little time at his expense.
Il went with him, and we went
around 10 all the saloons, after hours.
| afterward learned that the police
were spOtting the saloons, and that
they would subpoena me as a witness.
I.wOuld not like 10 swear against you,
| but must do II if am called as a wit
ness. have my board paid for one
week, and have 81 in my pocket. Now
| II you men can raise 500 for me | viii
leave town, and not appear against
you"
Mr.. Daley and the other saloon men
present told CuddIback 10 go to a
hotter climate, and SAID that they would
sooner pay 500 fine than TO be black
mailed out of a dollar. John W. Cor
nelius substdntiated this story, and
said that one of the men employed IN
his house was a schOOl-mate OF Cuddi-
back, and that the spOtter IS q relative
of superintendent Eastman.
Mr.. Cornelius says that the man
whom Cuddlback called Parks, Is officer
Reeves, and that Cuddback still insists
| that Reeves name Is Parks, and that he
has known HIM for number Of years.
If the saloon men can prove all they
say of Cuddiback, the cases he has
brought against them are liable To die
a sudden death.
