THE GROVE ARREST A FAILURE

Omaha, Neb., January 2.-Another letter, printed with lead pencil, was received by E. A. Cudahy this afternoon, demanding the withdrawal of the reward for the kid- nappers. The fact that the address was printed in similar style to the former ones, gave rise to the suspicion before 1t was opened that it was from the same source, but MT. Cudahy stated tonight that it was rank imitation and said he did not att tach the slightest significance to 1t. It was mailed in the postoffice about 3:3o p. m Mir. Cudahy said the letter was of the same class as several others that had been re- cedved from various points except that it had been printed. He pointed out that there was a marked dissimilarly between 1t and the one received from the kidnappers, both
 in the shape of the letters and the general wording of 1t, as well as in the spelling. Ap- parently every word that was possible of misspeling, was misspelled.
 The letter demanded withdrawal of the Cudahy offer of reward and of the city'a offer as well, under penalty not only nA trouble for the children but fine desTuc- tion of the entire Cudahy family. The episs tie closed with an injunction to "head" tiiis warming
  been offered for the arrest and conviction of slle Cddahy kidpappers, their secret IS still kept. --szs'
 For several days the police were hopeful. They felt that the $5000O reward would bring st-atling developments in short time When John Grove brother of Pat Grove, was arrested at his home in Council Bluffs Tuesday, the general impression was That some one had squealed."
 It was evidently the fear that something might get away from them that fm- pelled the police to take John Grove into custody. The result was nothing in the way of evidence to connect him with the kidv mapping was produced when he was brought before Police Judge Learn today. He was discharged
 Was Not the Man.
 During the afternoon Eddy Cudahy was taken to the city jail by Detective Dona- hue. In the Bertillion room had congre- gated a number of police officers into this assemblage Grove was brought and ques- tioned, the purpose being to let Young Cudahy hear his voice. The bandit, who stood guard over the young man a night and a day had a rich Irish brogue. John Grove has a touch of the brogue himself and this was really about all the evidence the police had collected against him, aside from the stories told of his having often been seen with his brother Pat prior to the abduction. When the inqulsition was at an end Eddy Cudahy declared that the voice of John Grove bore no resemblance to the voice of his guard. He said in ad- dition that Grove was not nearly so stout as the man who pointed the revolver in his face and called him Eddie McGee."
 This was interesting to the police, inas- much as John Grove is d man five feet ten inches in height and stout enough to weigh in the neighborhood of 200 pounds.
 Grove said to his attorney, Some one must have squealed or prstended he knew some thing. I have not been out of my house any night for the past month";
 Equally bad fortune befen the police in their efforts to identify the horses and buggy belonging to John Grove.
 Secret service agent Written today stated Joseph, Mo, the Friday after the kidnap- ping He does not think he was one of the kidnappers.
 Pat Grove Has Friends.
 Chadron, Neb., January 2.-It was re- ported this afternoon that the two officers who were reported to have captured Pat Grove, the alleged abductor of young Eddie Cudahy, while endeavoring to make good his escape across the Rine Ridge country yesterday, were frustrated by Crowe's friends and sympathzers many of whom live near the agency.
 Crowe's friends are said to be spiriting him away to the Hole in the Wall country in Wyoming, where he is to join an old time friend and cattleman.
