JUDGE BAKER BITTER.
Discharges Jury in cudahy Case With
Scathing Words.

Omaha, Neb., April SOTO the sur
prise of the court, and even the defen-
dant, the jury declared James Gala
kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, the mil
lionaire packers son.
Judge Baker, who has presided at
the trial, followed the announcement
of the verdict with one of the most bit
ter arraignments ever heard, saying IN
part:
eff Callahan had made his own
choice of jury, he could not have Sc
lected twelve men who would have
served him more faithfully. If the
state fer it's part had made the selec-
ton l know of no men it could have
named who could have been less care
full of it's interests. The jury is dis
charged without the compliments Of
the court and the prisoner is likewise
turned loose as to this trial, presume,
to continue the criminal practices in
which you have failed to check him.
| do not know what motive actuated
you in reaching this decision, but l
hope none of you will ever appear
again in this jury box"
Chief of Police Donahue says he will
urge Mr.. Cudahy at once to withdraw
| the proffered reward of $4,000 for the
apprehension of Pat Grove. Grove
might easily make an appearance and
| claim the reward himself" said Chief
Donahue, "as the evidence against him
| is no more direct than that against
| Callahan. In my eighteen years of eX
perience with criminals, l have never
heard more absolutely convincing evil
| dence presented than that against
Callahan. There was not a single
| flaw in the testimony, and the evil
dence of guilt was overwhelming
From the information l have secured
as to the sentiment of the jury, l be-
lieve that it's decision was based large
ly Oh the theory that the victim of the
affair was a wealthy man and as such
he Isl able to suffer.
f'The $4,000 offered for the convic-
ton OF the three men connected in the
| crime, however, will stand"

ton Believe 1t to Have Been Driven
Back With Heavy Loss.

Pekin, April 30.-The generals of
the powers held a conference yester-
day morning to consider the question
OF the withdrawal of the troops and
decided to address note to the min
listers informing them that when the
ministers are able to announce the
lump sum as an indemnity and the
Chinese have agreed to the principle
of payment, arrangements will be
made possible for withdrawal Other
matters discussed were the handing
over of the administration of Pekin
to native officials and a plan for the
command of the legation guards, as
to whether or not this command
should be centered in one officer or
each detachment should be independ-
ent.
Regarding the government at Pekin,
it was decided to allow the Chinese
gradually to assume more control I'M
| til civil government was entirely in
their hands, the military only exercis-
! ing passive supervision.
The Germans were virtually caught
in a trap near Kukwan pass. A de-
| tachment of so had 45 casualties,
while the Chinese losses are said t.
have been nominal. The German OK.
| petition is returning, leaving the coun
try greatly disaffected, owing to hard
ships inflicted upon the population.
Altogether the expedition appears to
have produced a very bad effect The
current Chinese gossip is that the
! Germans were driven back with heavy
losses and this is implicitly believed
| by the bulk of the people.
