Local Police.
LOOKS WELL AND TALKS QUITE FREELY
Truth VIII Come Out at Hts Trial,
He Says, and Declines TO Discuss
the Cudahy Affair at
Present.

Sergeant Havey Of the police station Elev-
enth and Dodge streets had occasion to |
book a prisoner who gave his name as |
Patrick Grove; address, Omaha occupa- |
ton that of a butcher and age 6 years. |
The man was charged with shooting with |
intent to kill and wound the more specific |
charge, as contained in the complaint filed |
against him. being that of shooting Patrol |
man Albert H. Jackson on the 6th day OF |
last month at Sixteenth and Center streets. |
So far as mere formalities went Grove was |
treated as any prisoner who might come |
under the jurisdiction of the police, but |
from point Of general interest he enlisted |
more interest than any prisoner booked at
the city Jail for years
Pat Grove arrived in Omaha last even |
ing at s:25 on Union Pacific train No.
from Butte, Mont. securely handcuffed to
Detective Henry Heitfedt Of the Omaha
detective force. Anticipating a large crowd
of curious people at the Union station
Chief of Police Donahue detailed Gordon
Of twelve policemen In uniform and
number of plain clothes men to guard
against any eventualitles and to make an
aisle for the prisoner from the train to
the patrol wagon in waiting at the north
end of the Union station. Several thou
sand citizens congregated at the station
and as the notorious alleged kidnsper was
marched down the aisle of curious faces
quite a number ventured to give what
might be termed a cheer. Grove took
cognizance of the reception by scanning
the small sea of faces and smiling.
Hurried Away to jail.
Grove was FASTENED to the patrol wagon
without any delay AS the crowd tried to
run after the wagon Driver Murphy
whipped up the horses and in jiffy the
wagon was at the police station in the
same manner as happens many times every
) day. Besides the crew from the police
station and the noted prisoner were Cap
tain Dunn, Detective Heitfeldt and num-
ber of newspaper correspondents. On the
way to the police station Grove sat be
tween a reporter and Detective Heitfeldt
and chatted cheerfully along the way. He
noted keenly every little incident and gave
no evidence OF nervousness of any kind.
The prisoner entered the ONCE Of the
police station handcuffed to Detective Heit-
feldt who wss appointed as custodian OF
the prisoner by the governor of Montana
| Captain Dunn unlocked the cuffs and then
| Grove and Chief Donahue shook hands.
! In an instant Grove recognized Special
Agent Wizard of the Union Pacific and
| greeted him cordially. The third person
| to be greeted by Grove was Ben Keegan,
sa old Omaha fftend.
AS the handcuffs were slipped from
J Crowe's hand he gave vent to small
/ sigh and remarked:
This is quite a relief"
Then Sergeant Havey booked the prisoner
in the most matter-of-fact way and he was
| assigned to cell No g. one of the large
cells of the city jail.
Appetite still Good.
What do you want for support" was
asked by Captain Dunn.
Pats order was: Rare porterhouse steak,
German fried potatoes, coffee with cream
and sugar. and desert, all of which was
sent in a few minutes from restaurant
Chief Of Police Donahue did not go to
the Union station, but remained at the
police station for the coming of the much
looked for prisoner. When the prisoner
had been booked and shown his cell the
chief issued strict orders that no one be
allowed to see Grove during the evening,
except newspaper men, and only then on
condition that Grove expressed willing
ness to see them.
/ Mr. Grove greeted representative from
The Bee most cordially and was frank to
say that of all the papers he had read in
recent years The Bee had treated him
with the most fairness.
when my case comes to trial." he said,
the truth will come out. God will take
care Of me; He takes care OF everyone and
He makes no mistakes. 1t is not so much
for my personal liberty that I am con-
cerned, but rather to return to the old
honest life led in Omaha many years ago.
Why, l worked for my board at Thirtieth
and Farnam streets for Henry Homer years
, ago and lead a life that was really honest"
Declines to Discuss Case.
Asked whether he wished to make any
statement regarding the Cudahy AFFAIR, Mr.
Grove said he positively would not at this
time.
Regarding his movements during the last
i Ave years Grove would not talk, but when
, asked by the desk sergeant what his occu-
! patton was he said, facetiously, "Dodgins
the policemen for five years"
{ In regard TO his brother Anthony, re
ported to have been In league with him al
Butte, Grove said he had not seen thai
brother for FIVE years and did not know
anything of the reported effort of th'
: brother to raise money for the defense II
