Mrs. Cudahy received a letter printed in
lead pencil. the same as was left
on the lawn. but this letter came
through the mail and was delivered by
the carrier. The letter was immediately
shown to me and thought that the chief
OF police ought to see it as it might help
in the investigation. But I advised
strenuously that nothing whatever BIZ
said about it, because 1 thought it was

parties had been captured the letter
should be withheld
Mr.. Cudahy states that he has not
Withdrawn the reward and does not pro-
pose to do so.
Detectives secured information which
they expect will result in locating the
buggy used by the men in the abdue-

Another man has been found who posi-
lively identified Grove as the man who
acted as a prin cipaI in the negotiations
with the Schneiderwlnds for the Grover
street cottage.
SURE IT WAS GROVE.
John Smith, a broommaker, employed
by the Schneiderwind broom factory, has
positively identified Pat Grove as the
man who, in his presence, rented the
Schneiderwind house on Grover street,
Cudahy while he was being detained
for the $25,OOO ransom This is the first
positive personal recognition of any of
the bandits, and establishes the most
important point yet developed in the
case.
When asked to identify the picture OF
Pat Grove in connection with the case.
he said:
you need not show me any picture 1
know that man. 1t was Pat Grove I
could have told any police officer the
same thing had he called upon me.

Pat Grove called to rent the house, and

machine long enough to get a good look
at him. L saw at a glance that the man
was none other than Pat Grove, a man

positive as to the identity of Pat Grove

ELOIsE WRITES AGAIN.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 3O-The Enquirer
mas received the second strangely s'gn'E
cant letter from "Eloise t." who now
signs herself, "Elois V. Tarreell" In
this letter the mysterious writer saws
14ioC Co1iJeCIuIeS as 10 ner Identity on the
part or the Omaha CORRESPONDENT are
wrong-that she is not Lizze Burns. and
that the correspondents are not at all
likely to fathom the mystery of her iden-
tity. She also gives reasons fer her
offer to clear up the Cudahy mystery.
Hell hath no fury like woman scorn-
ed' is the quotation that she uses to ex-
plain her position.
The last letter is dated Dec. %, and
again the woman-if the writer be a
woman-gives names and dates that are
convincing on the point that she knows
enough about the Cudahy KIDNAPPING to
be wanted. Her letters are lengthy and
most mysterious in facts, dates ana de-
tails.
Efforts to ascertain who the mysterious
writer is have proved futile She kee~s
well in the background, and evidently
considers her position well before intru t.
ing the letters to the mails.
