lice Donahue last NIGHT said that il
Pat Grove was hiding on Bellevue ISL

knowledge of it. and he very much
doubted if it were true. He knew that
Grove was at Bellevue, where he has
relatives, o week prior to the abduc-
tion, of young Cudahy- but he did not
think he had been there since that
tilne.-
The story that Grove had been
traced to Bellevue island and is being
watched there probably originated
from the fact that lie has a brother
in-law living in the vicinity and that
the island has been the scene of a
number of captures of eounterfeiters
