GUS Places at Once.

Chicago, Dec 28.-Disguised as a wo-
man, Pat Grove, the notorious criminal,
who is being sought by the police all
over the United States on the charge
that he was the kidnaper of Eddie Gu
dahy, at Omaha, has been seen in Clli-
cago within the last few days, and may
still be hiding here, according to state
ments made by Detective Sergeant Jas.
Storen, a Chicago police officer. who has
arrested Grove a number of times in the
past.
With a view to discovering the fug1-
tive's hiding place. a search of several
houses in Sixty-third street, near Stew
art avenue, has been made by Storen.
acting on information that Grove nau
been recognized on that street Christmas
day In pursuing his quest the ser
geant stumbled upon evidence which he
says convinced him that Grove has been
in Chicago recently, and that, in thu
guise of a woman. clothed in a black
robe and heavily yelled, the suspect went
abroad with impunity in the streets OF
EngIewood, the suburb where he once
was a resident and is well known to
many people.
Storen claims to have traced Grove to
a room where he was maSquerading as
a young widow in mourning, but that
Grove received word from his friends
that the police were on his trail, and es-
capped before a capture could be erected
Il found ample evidence in the room
that its occupant was none other than
Crowe,'' said Sergeant Storen- Nv Whether
he is now in Chicago cannot say. In
EngleWood, however, he has influential
friends who in all probability, have
found him a hiding place SO I think the
searchers for Grove would do well to be
on the lookout in this city for some time
to come"

ON THE OCEAN. ts
Boston, Dec. 28.-The Boston police
have evidence to indicate they think, that
Pat Grove and the other man who IS
wanted cl4 a charge Of kidnapping young
Cudahy, are on the Warren liner Mich
igan, bound FOR Liverpool, and a cable
containing that information has been
sent to the Scotland Yards detectives,
who will be on the Liverpool docks when
the steamer arrives
Just before the Michigan sailed from
the HOOsac tunnel dock last Saturday,
two men who acted so suSpiciously as to
attract attention and who answered to
the description of Grove and the other
supposed kidnaper, boarded the steamer
with a large amount of baggage. The
steamer sailed in a very short time, but
not before word of the presence of the
strangers had been sent to police head
quarters
A Nantasket Beach watchman has re-
ported to the police that he saw at the
beach a big stranger, dressed like a west
ern cattleman and carrying big old
carpetbag. He asked for a. boat man 70
row him out to an outgoing vessel, and
said he would pay almost any price for
the service, for he was anxious to board
some vessel going to q, foreign port. He
answered the description in every detail
of Pat Grove as it has been sent out by
the Omaha police. The watchman went
to notify the police and when he return
ed the man was gone.
SEEN IN ST HOE
st. Joseph, Mo, Dec. 28.-Patrolman
Carson saw Pat Grove enter a South
st. Joseph saloon yesterday afternoon.
He says he is sure of the man. as he
knows him well. Chief of Detectives
Shea placed a posse at the disposal of
Carson and a search is being made in
Groves haunts in South ot. Joseph. A
man who thinks he can locate him is
guiding the police.
BEGIN ALL OVER.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 28.-All hope of
capturing Pat Grove in this vicinity
has been abandoned and the police and
special detectives on the case have now
settled down to a systematic search for
evidence from the clues now in their
possession These clues are few, but
may lead to important discoveries.
They began at the beginning and are
now going over the entire ground COW
cred by the bandits Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights of last week in the hope
that they will find at least two import
ant articles in the campaign of evidence
the gasoline stove on which the out
laws boiled their coffee in the Grover
street cottage, and the buggy used by
them at various stages of the case.
up to date, we have followed all
clues which promised a solution OF the
mystery said Chief DOnahue, ''and
have found that they led to nothing, and
we are now ready to go over the ground
again, this time giving attention to the
more minute details of the matter
Logically, St Joseph, the police think,
is the last city in the middle west that
Pat Grove would visit at such a time
as this. It is the last place the police
expected him to visit, and, knowing this,
it may have furnished him with a good
reason for going there.
So far as the police know, Grove has
no relatives in or near st. Joseph, but
it is well known that he has friends
there.
IF Pat Grove was implicated in this
Job of kidnapping" said a detective who
is at work on the case, '.and it was his
intention to leave Omaha afterward and
go to St. Joseph, it would have been the
to have gone as far as Pacific Junction,
Ia, on horseback and then taken the
train for the Missouri city,
Another development that connects
Grove with the case is the fact that the
man who rented the cottage on Grover
Grove has a brother-in-law named ].
F. Connor, and those working on the
matter are inclined to believe, in view
of this fact, that Grove rented the
house, giving the name of his brother
in-law on account of the relationship
of the two men.
An additional c1ew was found today in
connection with the kidnapping. In
searching in the vicinity of the locality
of the place where the father of the ab-
