Cudahy Kidnapping Case

The Cincinnati Enquirer of lamar
A says:
Tbe author Of the mysterious "Elois

names not recorded.
In order that the proper importance
may be attached to the "Eloise 7.
etters it is only necessary that this pei
son of many names was the author o.
the now celebrated "Cubsn Spy" fake
with which the New York Herald was
victimized seon after The war, and
which purported to tell the story Of
the conspiracy which reaulted in the
blowing up of the Name. For the
supposedly genuine information which
he furnished the Herald in this matter
this king of fak;rs received something
like $1,000 in cash.
Last winter he turned up in this
city and victimized the Cincinnati Post,
,elling that paper a sensational story
which purporled to be based upon the
confession of man who committed
suicide in st. Louis, and which gave
an entirely new version Of the story OF
Governor Goebel's murder. That fake
was exposed by the Post socn after it
appeared in print.

Martinez has been staying at the
