silaclled to Detective Heitfield, of thu
Omaha detective department, and ac-
companied by Chief Detective Dunn,
arrived in Omaha from Butte, Mont,
where he was arrested a week ago. A
crowd of 1000 persons la gathered
at the union station and they filled the
station and approaches in every di-
rection to obtain if possible a glimpse
of him.
A large Gordon of police opened an
aisle from the platform of the train
TO a patrol wagon in the rear Of the
station, and Grove, between the two
detectives, with a patrolman walking
ahead and another behind, was
marched TO the wagon, amid the cheers
of some and eXclamations Of others.
The extraordinary ~precaution taken
by the police department for landing
Grove safely behind the bars seemed
hardly necessary, for he ave little
heed to them. and apparently had no
wish to escape.
In the patrol wagon five officers and
thee reporters furnished company for
the prisoner to the police station. A
large crowd followed the patrol to the
station, where another crowd had gath
cred TO witness the return of Grove.
Precautions were again taken to pre-

Wizard, Of the Union Pacific, and Ben
jamin Keegan, a lifelong Omaha friend.
He was searched II was allowed to
retain a pencil and q few dollars in
money. He ordered a supper Of steak,
coffee and dessert, after eating which
he consented to see a representative Of
the Associated Press.
Grove was not inclined to talk of
his past, and refused absolutely to
speak of his alleged connection with
rhe kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy. He
declared hat much had been published
of his alleged confessions and other
matters which We're without foundation.
He mentioned a confession said to have
been signed by him at Butte implicat-
ing young Cudahy in a conspiracy in
connection with the kidnapping.

said Grove, the truth will go to the
world. God will take care of me; he

asked.
Il believe Mr.. Cudahy has made the
statement that I did SO. l do not think
he would tell a lie for $21, Q00," he re.
piled.
Grove appeared nervous at first, an(
hesitated about seeing anybody. HI

asked what his reputation was. Re
plying to this query, Grove, remarked

Years."
Grove took particular notice of tn

and remarked that it was Il t1atterins

Chief Of Police John j. Donahue CAV
a sigh of relief when he saw Grow
safely inside the steel cage.
