CASTELLANE'S DEBTS.
ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED IN VERT
REIMER'S PARIS SUIT.


PARIS, Dec. 26LBefore the first civil
tribunal today Maitre Bonnat resumed
his speech, begun Dec. 20, when the case
was adjourned for a week in behalf of
the Count and Countess de Castellane,
in the suit of Charles Wertheimer, a
London bric-a-brac dealer, to recover
payment for objects of art sold the de-
fendant. In elaborate argument counsel
set forth the counter claim that the Cas-
tellanes demand reduction of the
debt. Professionally estimated 10 BE- at least
2,oOe,G00 francs, and the restitution of OBJ
Jects taken in exchange by Wertheimer
under the penalty of l 900 francs for each
days delay in the restitution from the
day Of judgment, finally claiming dam
ages to the amount of 100000 francs.
Maitre Foucauld, counsel for Vert
heimer replied, saying that the authentici-
ty of only five articles of the value of
5000 francs could pos bly, be quest ned,
and while Wertheimer affirmed their gen
ulneness, he would consent to another
expert examination, on the understanding
that if the articles were declared spur:o
the 5G0,0O0 francs was to be struck out of
the bll, but IL theySwere declared genuine
the Castellanes We're to pay the full price,
no reValuation being admitted Vert
heimer, counsel added, opposed the restitu-
tlon OF the objects Of art which the
Count de Castellane gave in pledge for
the total of the bill on the eve of his
departure for America.
Maitre Bonnot again spoke, affirming
the Castellanes only secured delays in
payment and the withdrawal of Vert
heimer's suit by fresh purchases of articles
for 25O,c0o francs. which were barely worth
l9,OoO francs. This, counsel claimed, was
selling delays at usurious rates.
Ihe Castellanes, COUNSEL continued. de-
manded an expert valuation of all the
purchases and not of a few objects.
The case was adjourned until Jan. Q,
when judgment VIII be delivered.

EE HAD BEEN MlKIIG BUTTER
ON THE FARM OF HIS BROTHER
IN-LAW NEAR SOUTH
OMAHA
POLICE WORK IN THE CASE
Detectives Are Making Systematic
Search for the Buggy That
Was Used by the
AbductOrs.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 26-It is now
known that Pat Grove was seen in
South Omaha scarcely twenty hours be-
fore the abduction of Eddie Cudahy. On
Monday night, Dec II, well known
citizen Of South Omaha conversed with
him for nearly an hour. Pat was in a
reminiscent mood and recalled some of
the chief adventures of his picturesque
career. Just before-they parted, Pat was
questioned concerning his future plans
and laughingly replied:
oh! 1 have nothing big on; but you'll
hear from me soon''
Hitherto Pat has been no closer to the
abduction than the Saturday night pre-
ceding that event. To a reporter for the
World-Herald Mrs. Grove admitted
that her husband was in South Omaha on
Saturday. The man who saw him on
Monday night states that he has with
held this information fearing that it
might lead to his own personal discom-
fort or even injury.
The local habitation of Pat Grove while
in this vicinity has been more or less OF
a mystery. He was frequently seen in
Omaha and South Omaha and those who
knew him wondered where he made his
home, little knowing that Pat had turned
dairyman and was engaged in the in
nocent task of making butter and "hay'
at the same time.
GROVE MADE BUTTER.
His employer was none other than his
own brother-in-law, a former street car
conductor and saloonkeeper, who had his
place of business on Harvey street before
he took to dairying. This man is now en-
gagged in the dairy business at Albright
just below South Omaha Last May Pat
arrived at the home of his brother-in-law

PAT GROVES RECORD.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 26.-Pat Grove
the alleged kidnaperI of Edward Cudahy
Jr., is well known to the La Crosse DO
lice. Grove is native of Iowa, born
thirty-five years ago, not great distance
from this city, and his family are very
respectable people and well connected.
Part of Groves criminal record is as
follows:
July 5, 1S90-Sentenced to six years in
Joliet penitentiary; pardoned by Gov
Fffer after serving fifteen months.
February, 1S93-Robhed Chapin's Jewell
ry store, Denver, Col, jumped bail bond
In Milwaukee he was arrested In 1854
for robbery and given three months in
the house of correction under an assumed
name. Tt was learned at this time that
Grove was wanted in Iowa for burglary.
in Denver for a big diamond robbery and
in Missouri for robbing a Chicago, Bur-
lington e. Quincy train. The Milwaukee
police decided to turn him over to the
Colorado authorities, and later, when
William Pinkerton asked for him for the
Missouri job, Gov. Peck declined to give
him up to the Colorado authorities There
was quite an official Wrangle, and finally
Gov. Waite, of Colorado withdrew his
demand in favor of Gov. Stone, of Mis-
souri,, and Grove went to Missouri. and
in December, 1895, was sentenced to the
St Joseph penitentiary. From there he
made his escape.
Grove next turned up in Omaha where
he became implicated in the killing of
a police officer. Through influential
friends he was able to obtain his free
dom, and later turning up in Cincin-
natl, wnere he was arrested Since that
time he has frequently been in trouble,
but he has always managed to get out
of it in some way.
HE'S IN INDIANA NOW.
MUNICE, Ind; Dec. 26.-The Munice
police late tonight received calls over
a farmers private line to come to a
point near Staideler, eight miles north of
Munice to arrest a man who fills the
newspaper description of Pat Grove, the
alleged Cudahy kidnaper. Well armed
detectives, Bentbow and Packet, started
for the scene in rig. T. G. Tuttle and
other responsible farmers made the calls
and are positive that they have the big
prize. The man is well dressed and call
ed. at several farm houses begging
place to sleep, saying he did not like
hotels in cities and towns, always pre-
ferring the farmers homes He claims to
have oil and natural gas interests and at
one place was jingliItg, gold in his pock-
cts, while conversing with a farmer
There were indications. that his heavy
ulster coat carried two big pistols Shide-
Ter is but two miles from Eaton. a good
sized town.

and said that he was willing to go to
work, that he was weary of desperate te
adventures and wanted to lead am hon
est life His brother-in-law and his sis
ter~welconed this determination of Pat
and set him to work He remained for
several months and then went away. But
to the surprise Of his sister he returned
to the dairy and again went to work
From that time on he con-
tinued at the dairy until short
ly before the Cudahy abduction. He
was not often seen in South Omaha until
just few days before the kidnapping and
the last time was late Monday night, Dec.
II. A search has been made in Albright
for the buggy used by the abduetors in
their operations.
WHERE is THE BUGGY?
Several buggies answering the general
description have been found through the
aid of B. K. Munshaw, of Melrose Hill.
Munshaw was taken by the police to a
carriage factory and selected a buggy
similar to the vehicle of the abductors.
Working along this line the detectives
discovered several buggies in Albright
and Bellevue, that looked very much like
the one Munshaw had picked out in the
carriage factory. The quest is under
way and hopes are entertained of locating
the buggy in or near Albright, Bellevue,
La Platte. Plattsmouth or possibly Pa
cfffc Junction. 1t is thought that if the
owner can be found or the person from
whom the abductors bought the buggy,
il they did buy it, this will go a long way
to clear up the puzzling problem of what
the kidnapers did with their equipment
when they abandoned their rendezvous
and fed from Melrose Hill.
THE MYSTERIOUS PONY.
There have been no new developments
in the Cudaby kidnapping case during the
last twenty-four hours so far as concern
the movements of the bandits in this city
and South Omaha after the kidnapping
The mystery Of finding the pony at Pa
cific Junction, twenty miles south of
Omaha has not yet been cleared up, those
trying to identify the pony as the one
used by the kidnapers being unable to
decide whether or not it was the same
animal.
The police, however, are inclined to the
belief that there Is considerable import
ance in the report coming from ST JOS
eph, Mo-, stating that Pat Grove has been
seen there as late as Monday, and
Chief Of Police Donahue is now investi-
eating that report. Should it prove true,
the chief thinks 1t probable that Grove
is in that vicinity.
There has been no real evidence ad-

The husband and wife had a consulta-
Stfon at the wife's apartments In the

Sam tried to have her come here many
times, and 1 have wanted him to come

The police think she is either hiding
in the city, waiting chance to break
for the East, or has already eluded them
by getting out on the Pennsylvania or

believed possibly She has started east
over the Chesapeake & Ohio.

TURKEY ORDERS CRUISER FROM
CRAMPS

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-Charles FL.
Cramp, when seen today, said: eve have
received cablegram from Gen. VIII
liams informing us of the signing of the
contract with the Turkish minister of n a
rine for the construction of a first-clazs
cruiser The particulars of the contract
we do not know nor can 1 say just when
work on the cruiser will begin or. when
1t is to be completed. Gen. Williams is
now on his way home and he is expected
to arrive here in about fifteen days. We
will then know more about the contract .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Details are
not obtainable here Of the placing of an
order by the sultan with the Cramps for
a warship, but it is understood that the
statement to that effect from Constanti-
nople is correct. From the character
and size of the ship ordered, it is beiev~
ed that the contract will involve the pay
ment by the Turkish government to the
Cramps of about $2,500000, which should
afford an ample margin for the settle
ment of any proper claims against the
Turkish government

LONDON, Dec. 27, 2:30 a. m.-The pau
city and obscurity of the dispatches from
South Africa give rise to renewed
anxiety. Apparently the disturbed area
of Cape Colony extends further south
than it did last December and Lord
Kitchener does not appear to have had
much success as yet in driving back
the invaders.
The war office had received no news
last evening of the reported captures of
yeomanry near Britstown.
Burghersdorp dispatch has a mys-
terious reference to IAN unfortunate
mistaking of the enemy for Brabant's
Horse which resulted in the sounding
of cease fire. and enabled the Beers
to occupy all the commanding positions,
the British retiring from difficult pre-
dicament.

Gen Clements success against the
Beers In the Magaliesberg region is also
doubtful, the last dispatch reporting that
''it was considered advisable not to force
the Beers from their positions"
The British press continues in the main
optimistic, but the condition of affairs
brings home the enormous difficulties
that will force Lord Kitchener in pat
rolling and policing such enormous tracts
of country, even when the Beers shall
be finally subdued
The Daily Mail, which makes a strong
appeal to the government to face the
facts and send Lord Kitchener more
troops, says. There is a real risk in
being lulled to sleep by carefully cen
sored messages"
