WORK OF DETECTIVES
IN THE CUDARY CASE.
THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE LoCAT-
ED THE HOUSE WHERE THE
BOY WAS IMPRISONED.
NO LAW IN STATE OF NEBRASKA
PROVIDING PUNISHMENT FOR THE
CRIME COMMITTED BY THE
kIDNAPPERS.

OMAHA, Neb, December 21-The
result of "a hours work on the part of
the police of the city and a half hun
dred detectives has established the
location of the house in which Edward
Cudahy, Jr., was held a prisoner for
nearly two days. The house is located
four miles from the city and in piace
of easy access, but so situated as to
allow the desperadoes ample oppor-
tunity to lay and carry out their plans
without molestation from inquiring
neighbors. Within easy communica-
ton by rail and wagon roads to Omaha
and South Omaha and on high knoll
where sentinels could give immediate
alarm in case of necessity, the one and
a half story shack was admirably
chosen by the bandits. No doubt eX-
lists in the minds of the police as to
the identity of the place. Young Cud-
ahy himself was taken to the house
and identified many features which he
had recognized while a blindfolded
prisoner
The testimony of the neighbors also
is of a nature that leads every one to
believe this was the retreat of the abb
ductors. Evidences show that they
made a hurried departure when their
nights work was completed.
Beyond locating the house in which
the men were located prior to the kid
mapping, the police have made no
progress looking to capture of any
Of the outlaws.
One thing that is puzzling the po-
lice at this time is how they can pun
ish the kidnappers should they be
captured, there being no law to cover
the case. There is an offense known
as kidnapping" in the criminal stat
uteS Of Nebraska, which carries with
it a penitentiary sentence on convic-
ton, ranging from two to seven years,
but it only applies to kidnapping with
the intention or carrying the victim
outside of the State.
Another penitentiary offence defined
by the Nebraska criminal code is that
of Child stealing" but this section,
too, seems to have no application to
the present instance, because it refers
only to stealing children under ten
years of age, while young Cudahy is
already Is.
So far as can be ascertained by the
police in the examination of the law,
the only charge which can be success
fully brought against the perpetrators
of this outrage is that of false impTis-
onment, which is not a crime, but
merely a misdemeanor, subject to a
fine and iail sentence only
From this it will be seen that the
problem what to do with the kidnap-
pers should they be captured is almost
as difficult as the problem OF fixing
the identity of the men.

DIR. j. w. HARTIGAN ENTERS SUIT
AGAINST DIR. JEROME III.
RAYMOND,
OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY
DIR. HARTIGAN ALLEGES THAT SER
IOUS SANDERS HAVE BEEN
CIRCULATED.

Special to the Register
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, December
21.-Dr. ]. w. Hartigan, formerly pro-
fessor of biology in the West Virginia
University, this afternoon entered suit
through his attorneys against DR.. Ray
mond, president of the institution.
The suit alleges SANDER on the part
of DR.. Raymond and is to recover the
sum of $4,000.
Notice was served on DR.. Raymond
this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff John
Wallace.
Raymond has just returned from
Parkersburg, where he had been to at
tend the meeting Of the board of re-
gents.
The bill in the suit has not yet been
filed but it Will be presented at the
January rules and the trial will be
held at the February term of court
before Judge John w. Mason, of Fair
mont.
The suit is the outgrowth of stories
alleged to have been circulated against
DR.. Hartigan, not only as to his uni
versity life but in his family relations
These stories allege serious shortcom-
ing on the part of DR.. Hartigan and
have been industriously circulated not
only among the town people and fac
ulty, but among the students as we'll.
Efforts have been made to make it ap-
pear that there is much to the dis
credit of DR.. Hartigan, not only in the
present but also in the past. These
stories have been told not only to the
board of regents, but to students in
classes under DR.. Hartigan, and on sew
eral occasions, it is alleged, efforts
have been made to have young ladies
leave the classes under Dr. Hartigan,
az it was alleged it was not safe for
them to remain in them.
Fraser & Fraser, Col. w. w. Ar
nett, of Wheeling, and Chas. Goodwin,
have been retained by Hartigan and
the best talent in the State will be
employed by Raymond.
The case will be one of the most
notable and hotly contested that has
ever come up in the State.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, December
21-It was after midnight when the
Board of Regents Of the West Virginia
University adjourned last night, after
what seems to have been rather a
stormy session, during which the re-
moyal of Professors Armstrong and
Hartigan was under discussion The
arrival OF Regent James F. Brown, Of
Charleston, precipitated the discussion
anew, although it brought about no
change in the action of the board
Mr.. Brown was at Richmond, Va,
when he received telegram telling him
to come here at once. He came as fast
as the trains would carry him, but it
was all over when he arrived. Upon
being told of the removal of these two
professors,
Mr.. Brown at once entered a vigor-
Gus protest against the action of the
Board. He said it had been under

Board, when matters were adjusted
and the crisis tided over by the re-
tention of both President Raymond
and the professors, that there was to
be a general amnesty; that old scores
were all to be wiped out and that
there should in the future be no re-
movals for anything which had occur
rend prior to that date. He was there
fore very much surprised to learn that
the understanding had been violated
and the professors removed. He had
his written protest entered of record

it was found that he had not been
guilty of the conduct he was charged
with, but that, on the contrary, he
had attempted to prevent other stu
dents from engaging in the attempt to
howl down Mayor Poster. Neely's case

presidents recommendation that $780,
