OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 7.-All hope of cap
turing Pat Grove in this vicinity has been
abandoned, and the police and special de-
tectives on the case have now settled down
to systematic search for evidence from
the clews now in their possession. These
clews are few, but may lead to important
discoveries. The police are now going over
the entire ground covered by the bandits
Tuesday and Wednesday nights Of last
week.
st. Joseph, the police think, is the last
city in the middle West that Pat Grove
would visit at this time. So far as the police
know GROVE has no relatives in or near st.
Joseph, but it is we'll known that he has
had friends there. 'If Pat Grove was i'm
plicated in this job OF kidnapping said
detective who is at work on the case. land
1t was his intention to leave Omaha after
ward and go to st. Joseph. it would have
been the most natural thing in the world
for him to have gone as far as Pacific juno
ton, Ia, on horseback and then taken the
train for the Missouri city,"
Another development in the case is the
fact that the man who rented the cottage
on Grover street gave the name of j. L.
Connor. Grove has a brother-in-law named
Connor. and those working on the case are
more inclined to believe. in view OF this
fact, that Grove rented the house.
A special dispatch to the World-Herald
tonight from st. Joseph says that PATROL
man Carson saw Pat Grove enter a South
st. Joseph saloon this afternoon. He says
he IN sure of the man, as he knows him
well. Chief of Detectives Shea placed
posse at the disposal Of Carson and
search is being made in Groves haunts in
South st. Joseph tonight. A man who
think he can locate him is guiding the
police. In Omaha no stock is taken in the
story that Grove was in Boston or any
point in the East. The theory is that he
has gone south and is likely to be found
among his friends around St. Joseph.
An additional clew was found to-day in
connection with the kidnapping Men search
ing in the vicinity of the place where E. A.
Cudahy. sr.. placed the $4,000 In gold as
ransom for his son found a gunnysack,
new and without marks or brand. The
gunnysack was found by an oak tree on
the south side. From this location, If the
abductors Of the Cudahy boy desired, they
could have had an excellent view of the
place where the gold was placed by Mr..
Cuadhy and yet been securely screened by
the clump of bushes.

One of the most important developments
In the Cudahy case Is the positive identif-
cation by Mrs. Schneiderwind of a photo

tenant. the light-complexioned man who
rented the old house used as Eddie Cuda-
hy's prison.
