THE WRONG MAN.
Eddie Cudahy Confronted BY Man sus-
Pected of kidnapping.

Omaha, Neb December 20. There was
a decisive development In the Cudahy
kidnapping case Sunday, although the
disclosure is negative. in kind. 1t has
been learned that there ware two bandits
mot three implicated In the abduction.
One of the outlaws has been eliminated.
The dark complexioned man with the
black moustache and black hair tingsd
with gray, SO infinitely described by Miss
Maud Munshaw, was In the office OF
Chief Donahue today and was there con-
fronted by Eddie Cudahy, his supposed
victim. After carefully sorutinizing him,
the boy said:
"That is not the man, he is not tall
enough by an inch and half ana he S
not broad enough. He's too small in
every way"
Ths mans name Is Ed johnson. He
was released.
There Is still dark complexioned
man in the case but he is larger than
johnson and younger. Otherwise he is
very much like johnson, having black
moustaohe and dark hair, slightly mixed
with gray. IL the police have any idea
who this man Is, they will not admit 1t.
so far as they know, he was seen by but
one person and that is Eddie Cudahy
himself. The other bandit was the light
complexioned man with ths brown hair
and long light moustaohe. slight or built
and whose age is said to be somewhere
between 30 and IS years. This individual
is described by three persons besides the
kidnapped boy, namely, Blk. Munshaw,
James Schneiderwin and Frank Glynn.
He is the man who called at the Schnei-
derwin home to engage the cottage at
Thirty sixth and Grover streets and who
called up the Cudahy mansion from
Glynn's livery stable to give notice or the
letters being in the front yard.
The police are satisfied that they know
this man and II he Is the person, they
think he is, he will probably be in GUS
tody within the next ten days. IL guilty
he cannot remain at large long they say.
e. A. Cudahy. Sr., still entertains the
theory that Pat Grove was not one OF
the men who kidnapped his son, and he
Will loss no time in advising him or the
fact. Mr.. Cndahy has Defriended Grove
many times In the past.
"Why" said the packer, Pat Grove
knows perfectly well that II he had come
to me a week ago and asked me for $50 he
would have got 1t. He has often ex-
pressed a sense of gratitude for what l
have done for him and l can hardly be.
lisye he would turn against me In this
way"

Death of Little Girl at

Took Strychnine Pills Intended for
ilother.
Died Shortly After in
Commissions.
Victim Vas Rena Bailey Aged
Two and q Half Years.

Little Rena Bailey the only child Of
Morrill's corner took some strychnine
pills which bad been given her mother for
ionic and died half an hour later in
terrible agony, the physicians who were
called being unable to save the child's
life.
1t was one OF the saddest accidents
which has happened at Mo-rill's corner
in years and the whole neighbornood was
in mourning last night with Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailey who were prostrated by the
terr ible affair. II seams that Mrs. Bailey
had not been well and her physician had
prescribed for her some pills containing
small quantity Of strychnine to be
taken as q tonic These pills Mrs. Bailey
kept In a little fox on the top OF a
bureau. They were pink in color and
little Rens, bright and pretty child.
was very much Interested In them and
seeing her mother put one of the pills in
her mouth and swallow 1t the little girl
thought they were candy and cried for
some too. Her mother, OF course, tried
to explain to the bapy what these little
pink pills were for but OF course the
child could not understand.
Yesterday afternoon when the mother
was absent from the room for a few min
utes the little girl got chair and after
much labor climbed up on 1t and by
standing on tiptoe was able to reach the
box which was well filled with the little
pink pills. Sho put several of them In
her mouth and swallowed them. A min
ute or SO afterwards Mrs. Bailey heard
the child crying ont as though In pain
and ran into the room. Ths overturned
pill box and the chair by the side OF the
bureau told the story. by this time the
child was almost In commissions. Two
PHYSICIANS were sent for as quickly as
possible and hurried to the house. By
this time the baby was in agony and the
spasms were growing more violent. The
doctors tried to force SONS antidote for
strychnine into tho child mouth which
was tightly closed. They were unable
to do this SO tightly were the little tseth
set together. Then they administered
ether and managed after some time to
get the jaws open. But it was too late
for the antidote to do its work, The
deadly poison had worked its way into
the system and within half an hour OF the
time the child took the pills she was
dead.
