his father, he called Sunday at the office
of the chief OF police and confronted the

lasting half an hour and after Callahan
had been taken away, young Edward
said: fra 3
II would never forget that voice. and I
also remember very distinctly MS pecu-
liar manner of pronouncing certain
words. In his present talk he used these
same words, and pronounced them the
same. AS 1 had several good looks at
the same man while he was guarding
me, 1 can be pretty sure that this is the
man wanted"
Tonight the police Secured information
which they expect to lead to the arrest
of another man connected with the
crime. He is a coachman of a family
friend of Mr.. Cudahy, and it is claimed
. he has been acting very queerly in the
matter ever since the kidnapping. The
chief of police says this man will be ar
rested tonight or in the morning and he
expects him to throw additional light on
the matter.

He is not suspected as being one of the
principals, but his son is the man really
wanted, and the elder Murta is expecta,l
to tell of his sons actions at the time
of the stealing of the boy. Young MUIR
