few months after the murder, 10 Cuddy,

startling statement that he had hidden
himself under Peterson's porch and
heard him confess the crime to his

that Petersan was arrested, but was re-
leased, as 1t developed that Cuddy's
story was a fake. Cuddy was soon af-l

.Dewelry Stolen.
Deg Moines. Jan. o. Between $500 and
81, 900 worth OF jewelry was stolen Mon
and repair shop of Herman Kirch, in
ing. corner Of Fifth and Walnut streets.
There is no trace of the burglars.
When Mr. Kirch' boy, Lee Mershon,
Went to the Office at O'Clock Monday
morning, he found the room strewn with
pasteboard and wooden boxes in which
the jewelry had been packed in the safe,
and with other trash of various kinds
Mershon turned his attention at once to
the safe, and discovered that Il had been
broken open and all the contents. ex cept
chose in the strong box within, had been
taken out Everything of any value at
all was taken. The safe had been
drilled thru at the side of the door, ant.
the work was plainly that of experts.
The drill penetrated the steel for several
inches and came out on the inside Al the
point where the combination catch
strikes the lock. The catch was broken
squarely off ard this left nothing to hold
the door closed. There We're no marks
OF the use of any explosive but the APP
pearance of the safe showed that the in
tent of the robbers was to use some ex-
plosiye before they quit the job The
keynote and the cracks CT the strong
pox We're stuffed with soap and Il hole
vas drilled partly thru the door for tbs
insertion of an explosive. The robbers
We're evidently frightened away from
their work a this point. A small,
wooden box, marked with blood, which
Was broken in two, showed that the.
robbers, or one of them, had cut his
hand while at work. The detectives
used this discovery in working up the
case yesterday. They called up numer-
Gus doctors. in the hope OF finding one
who had dressed a hand wound for some
stranger. II was surmised the robber
may have been hurt badly enough to
require the services of physician.
Nothing had come of this clew up 10
Tuesday night, but the police hope a
good clew may yet be obtained on this
line.
Kirch offered a reward Of slOO for the
arrest and convition Of the men who
robbed his safe.
