YOUNG ouoAHy,s STORY.
Tho kidnapped Boy Positive That Callahan
Helped Abduct Him and Then stood
Guard Over Him.

Omaha, Neb., April s5.-In tho
trial of James Callahan for the kid
naping of Edward Cudahy at the open
ing of court Thursday morning. Young
Cudahy told of his being made pris-
oner and of his trip to and from the
place where his captors held him. He
positively identified Callahan as the
man who put pistol to his head and
made him prisoner and who guarded
him most of the time. Callahan be-
trayed no emotion when the kidnapped
boy declared he was one of the alb
ductors, but a cynical smile played
family over his features.
The boy said he could not have iden-
titled Callahan from simply seeing
him. He admitted that he identified
Callahan principally by his voice, and
said that he would not be able to
identify him by his appearance alone.
In answer to direct question the boy
said he was as certain of the identity
of Callahan as he was of the identity
Of his father or mother. He thought
it hardly possible for there TO be an
other voice like Callahan's. He said
Callahan had a sort of brogue, and
gave peculiar turn to some words, and
sort of talked through his teeth.

Mr.. DOekery's Statement.


Governor Dockery Tuesday gave to
the press the following typewriter
statement, which he had prepared, on
his position regarding the police CON-
misslonesship situation In Kansas City /:
"The duties Of the executive in this
case are simple and clear. The pres
ent board of police commissioners at
Kansas City was appointed a little
over two years ago, for a term of three
years, and confirmed BY the senate.
Their te'ms expire February 8, 1902.
They cannot be removed under the
law except for Official misconduct, as
provided by section 6l73 of the re.
ylsed statutes. | trust that [ have
courage enough to enforce the law,
ana am quite sure l have courage
sufficient to refuse to violate it.
''l bave no idea whom will appoint
when vacancies occur. Kansas CITY
seems now to be the storm eeAter OF
factional troubles IN the democratic
party OF the state. This is not q new
condition, however. The party has
suffered seriously for several years past
from like troubles. Dlssensious there
are so pronounced aud hostility so Inn
placable that it is practically useless to
