Ia letter from Groves uncle at Man
chester, Iowa. submitting similar
terms for Groves surrender, which
leads the police to believe that they

tectives to task. defying them to AFFECT
his arrest, and continues:

all ask Is justice. fair trial by II
men. citizens OF Douglass county. Ne

kind. There gold Is gold. and with
that power they rule the world.
"Donahue, all I ask IL q fair deal.
Grant my request and will give my.
self up.
"Mr. Cudahy has known me for Is
years. He now believes me guilty,
nevertheless l think he will grant me
q fair trial. a. all he wants is the
public to know the truth"
Grove says he has known Governor
Savage ever since he was a barefoot
ed boy on the farm in Iowa. expresses
regret that he has fallen into Ill repute
and then lays down the conditions of
his surrender rs follows:
Nov, Mr.. Donahue, l will give my.
self up to you II you will promise me
upon your word Of honor that will
not be locked up until the jury SAYS
guilty. II the jury says that, will
take my punishment like man, with
out murmur. -
II can give bond for $500 and that
Is all. II the court will not accept
that, will remain a fugitive from in.
justice.

signatures Of Edward Cudahy, Gov
ernor Savage. Sheriff John Power, At
torney Shields. Chief Donahue and
the Judge that fixes the bond.
"Mr. Donahue, want you to under.
stand that l am not afraid Of the CON-
bined wealth Of ali the Cudahys on
earth. and the services Of all the de.
tectives they can hire. Their efforts
to pinch me will bite the dust, for
