be fatal, and from the report OF the

physician arrived. Both doctors pro.
nounced him dead. The medical exami
ner was sent for, and the police were
notified"
DR.. Bailey and Medical Examiner
Swan both declared that the man must
have died from some internal cause.
The accepted theory is heart failure.
Dr.. Bailey said There were no signs
Of Violence. can give no cause Of his
death. That can be determined ONLY ~
an autopsy. From the statements whic h
have been made to me by men who saw

CUDAHY KIDNApER
 PLACED ON TRIAL
Jos. Callahan Charged With the 0ffense is Described
 by the Boy

Omaha. Neb., April 24.-The case of the state against James Callahan, was brief ly presented to the jury by County Att torney Shields today and E. A. Cudahy. one of the central figures in the kidnap- ing incident, took the stand. Mir. Shields said that the state would seek to identify Callahan as one of the men who in the guise of county official seized young Cudahy in front of his home. He win further endeavor to show that Callahan stood guard over the boy in the house on Grove street. The jurymen were then conducted to the Cudahy residence and then along the West Center road which MT. Cudahy had traverel with the $25.o0o ransom
 After the jury in the Callahan case had inspected the scene of the Kidnapping to- day, the chief witnesses, Cudahy and his son Edward. took the stand The latter's testimony was not concluded when court adjourned for the day. The boy has tes- tifed in general way that the man who first accosted him was of dark complex ion and wore a stubby black moustache. This description answers that of Calla- han. The other testimony of the youth was substantially as has appeared in the press reports. It Is expected that tomor- row the boy will make an effort positively to identify Callahan as the dark man."

MIR. MILSTEAD IN
 ANOTHER LAW SUIT
EImore County Man Sues for S250 Promised in
 WaiveNote.

Age-Herald Bureau ,Clancey's Hotel. Montgomery, April 24.-(Special) A. J.. Milstead, late Republican candidate for Congress in the Fifth Alabama district against c. w. Thompson, Democrat is figuring in another very unusual suit as a result of his candidature.
 The suit is brought by M. F. Berry of Fillmore county and is on waive note for s25O It is understood that MT. Mill stead does not deny the signature to the note but refuses to pay it on two grounds.
 The note. it Is said, was given by MT. Milstead with the understanding that it was to be paid for political services to be rendered by MT. Berry, and provided that MT. Berry's beat went for the Re publican candidate. The beat did not go for Milstead Moreover, MT. Milstead will claim that the plaintiff in the case. the holder of the note, took money from Col onel Thompson.
 In the sporting vernacular Mir Milstead will claim that he got the double cross"
 He charges that the holder of the note took money from both the candidates and served neither faithfully. On the other hand MT. Berry will claim that he was to receive s25o for political services. The services. he says, were rendered and now he wants his money for Colonel Mil stead's waive note.
 It will be recalled that MT. Milstead recently brought suit against the Dick sons of Lowndes County for the recovery of 5000 paid to them to deliver the vote of that county to him in the November election

Majority in Jefferson is Grow-
 ing Smaller DEMOCRATS WILL WIN BY 300 Republicans Claim They Have Carried the County. TEACH EQUALLY CONFIDENT Says He Has Heard From All But a Few Smaller Beats, and the Vote There Would Not Adverse
 the Majority.
TEACH EQUALLY CONFIDENT

The majority for the constitutional convention and for the Democratic ticket in Jefferson County is much smaller than the first reports indicated. From the re- turns received up to midnight Tuesday night it appeared that the majority would be about 1,000, but with additional returns from other precincts reported yesterday this is cut down to about 300 or 400, and may be reduced to about 200 when the official count is made. The Democratic committee claims 1t will not be reduced.
 Chairman John Towers of the Republi- can County committee claimed last night that the Republican ticket had carried the County and that the vote for and against the convention was close, with the chances about even for either side to have small majority.
 Chairman Robert H. Thach of the County Democratic committee stated at g o'clock last night that the County was safe for both the convention and the Democratic nominees by. from 400 to 300 majorities He said he had heard from all but a few of the smaller beats and that he did not believe the vote in those was large enough to change the result to an adverse majority.
