There IS still a dark complexioned
man in the case. but he IS larger than
Johnson, and younger. Otherwise he iD
very much like Johnson. having
black mustache and dark hair. slightly
mixed with gray. II the police have
any idea who this man Is they will not
admit It. So far as they know he wao
seen by but one person andtha Is Ed
die Cudahy himself. The other bandit
was the light complexIoned man vita
the brown hair and long. light mus
tache, slight of build. and whose age In
said TO, be somewhere between thirty
and thirty-five years. This individual
is described by three persous beaidea

the Schneiderwind home to engage tho
cottage at Thirty-sixth and Grover
streets, and who called up the cudahy
mansion from Glynn's livery stable TO
give notice of the letters being in tho
front yard. The police are Satisfied
that they know, this man, and II he IS
the person they think he Is they will
probably be In custody within the next
ten days. If guilty, he cannot remain
