PREYED ON A W0MAN'S FEARS.
Alleged "Kidnaper's" Plans Foiled
by Finding of a Body.

Kansas City. No.. Feb. 15.-The dead body
OF William Stelp Of Johns & Stelp. hardware
merchants. who mysteriously disappeared on
January 81. last, was found to-day in the
creek in an outlying portion of the CITY,
Stelp had taken his life with revolver
which he. still clutched in his hand
About the same hour the body was found
relative of Mrs. Stelp handed Chief of
Police Hayes a letter. received by the wo-
man, in which the writer offered to return
Stelp on the payment of 81 900 which was
TO be left at a point designated.
Chief Hayes began preparations to trap
the alleged 'kidnapsr." but before they We're
carried into effect the body of the missing
man was found. The letter demanded that
the money be sent at o'clock tonight and
close: IF this money Is not paid within
this time your husband will suffer imme-
diate death"
Stelp. who had served as a Juror on a mur-
der case, worried himself insane over the
verdict rendered and wandered away. He
had evidently been dead several days. The
alleged "kidnapers' are believed to have
taken advantage of his disappearance to ply
their game.

BELIEVED TO BE PAT GROVE.
Police Think They Have Alleged
AbductOr Sure This Time.


Corpus Christi. Tex, Feb ia special
revenue officer has gone to San Diego to
prefer charges against the man arrested
there for passing counterfeit money. and
who Is believed to be Pat Grove, the kid
naper of Cudahy's son. He was arrested
on State charge of passing counterfeie
money. and when Informed that he would
also have a Government charge to face he
appeared actually relieved.
This gives color to the theory that he Is
the Omaha fugitive. and that he would
rather face the two charges against him in
Texas than to be taken back to Nebraska.
He Is reported to have informed a cellmate
that Pat Grove would never reach a Jail
alive inside OF Nebraska, great Is the
feeling there. When IT is remembered that
when first confronted with Groves picture.
he denied knowing even what Grove was
wanted for. this late remark to a fellow
prisoner is thoroughly significant Letters
found on the person of the prisoner show
that he has recently been in Mexico, Ell
Paso and Laredo. and that In each place
he sailed under a different name. A tele-
phone message received here to-day states
the officers have found additional evidence
as to the mans identity but refuse to
state what ii is until the Nebraska Off
cials arrive. AT any rate, they are con-
WINGED that they have the right man. and
are confidently awaiting the arrival Of the
Nebraska officers for identification.
