st. Paul, Mimi, MayE5 Reden-
baugh, accused also Of murder OF
Alice Nj. Dunn in the 8Selbt avenue
home of her father, J. f. McQuillan,
a week ago Thursday, has been posit-
lively identified as the kidnapper OF
Patrolman George Connery III Mimic
apolis, according to the statement OF
Chief of Police John J. O'COnnOr. Chief
O'Connor says he is even more certain
of Redenbaugh's connection with the
Dunn murder.
Rcdenbaugh,. the police say, is Il
supernatural and is wanted for mur-
der in Oklahoma. and for the robbery
of bank at University Place, Neb.,
last February.
That Redenbaugh, probably assisted
by man known as Brent Glasscock
is responsible for both crimes there
can be no doubt. Chief O'Connor says.
PICTURE IS IDENTIFIED
A picture of Redenbaugh in the pos
session Of the Minneapolis police has
been identified positively by four police
men as the man into whose car COnnery
climbed the day Of his disappearance.
Connery's purpose was to take Reden'
baugh to the East Side police station
for speeding. As positive as the Min
neapolis police are that Redenbaugh is
the man, Chief O'ConnOr is even more
confident that he is the murderer OF
Mrs. Dunn.
=, ~ BIG SEARCH IS ON
While Chief O'Conner's men are
piling .llp u mass of evidence that deep
~ incriminates Frank J. Dunn, hus-
band Of the murdered woman, police
from Kansas City to the coast are
watching every train and searching ev-
cry rendezvous of crooks in an effort
to run down Redenbaugh and Glass
cock.
So closely has the net been spread
Chief O'ConnOr does not believe Reden-
baugh can escape. The home OF his
parents is being watched as are dwell
ing places of women with whom he is
known to have corresponded.
Both Redenbaugh and his family
once lived lin st. Paul, but not for
some months. In st. Paul he is
known to have frequented saloons
which the police regard as hang-outs
for criminals. He is known to have
had frequent conferences with men
with long criminal records.
REWARD MAY BE OFFERED
A large reward probably will be
posted today for his arrest. Chief
OConlOr would not say whether this
would be offered by the police or by
others.
That the police of ST. Paul have had
the Connery murderer identified for
nearly a week has been disclosed Chief
OConnor even admitted wondering
shortly after the Dunn murder If the
same man could have committed both
crimes.
