This presaged more stunts" and it

Edward Cudahy, senior, was IN charge

pride of the household. Especially was
he the idol CT his mothers heart. al
though the neighbors were more &C
customed to calling him 1.-THE gilded
youth" One night he disappeared, and
the next morning the entire country
knew that Pat Grove had kidnapped the
boy and wanted $4,000 ransom for his
return.
Refuse me the money and I'll burn
out his eyes," was the written threat
made to the boys wealthy father.
Grove had been in the employ Of Cud-
ahy. and Cudahy knew that Grove was
just the kind OF man TO make a kid
mapping case real. Accordingly he hur-
riedly made for his bank. and IN the
darkness OF night carried the sum de-
manded. $4,000 in gold. to the Isolated
spot named by Pat Grove, which had
been marked b. a red lantern. Grove
took the money. made good his escape.
and returned the boy. There followed
a sensational man hunt throughout the
United States, with a $4,000 reward for
Pat, dead or alive, guilty or innocent.
For some time there existed in Omaha
the belief that the entire affair was a
put up Job" and that Eddie Cudahy
never was kidnapped IN reality. When
Grove surrendered four years later he
said the fifteen-year-old lad had evolved
the whole scheme In his fertile young
brain, and that the boy had received
$4,000 Of the ransom money.
