CUDAHY TELLS STORY Father of Kidnaped Boy Gives Testimony in Criminal Court. REITERATES fORMER STATEMENTS The Trial of the Alleged Kidnaper Draws m Great Throne The Youthful Victim Takes the Stand and Relates Ills ex perience. OMAHA, Neb., April 25. Edward A Cudahy, sr., and Edward A. Cudahy, Jr.. father and son. testified at the trial of James Callahan yesterday. The story of the kidnaping and the subsequent payment 0f tne $25,000 ransom, as related by Mr. Cudahy, sr., was a repetition of the reports of the vGaIt as published at the time in the news columns of the Bee. The tes timony of the boy, giving the details of his abduction and imprisonment. also tallied with the reports hereto fore1 published in this newspaper. In no detail did the evidence given by Mr. Cudahy and his son differ with the authentic and exclusive stories of the crime printed. Yesterday forenoon was taken up with the opening statements of coun sel and a visit by the jury to the scene of the crime, and in the after noon the taking of testimony began. Young Cudahy was placed on the witness stand at 4 o'clock and when court adjourned at 5:30 o'clock his evidence had not reached that point where he is expected to positively identify Callahan as one of the kid napers. It is apparent that the pros ecution is leading up to an identifica tion, for the boy was made to relate in detail the numerous conversations he had with his guard during the twenty-eight hours he was confined in the Melrose Hill house. It is the in tention, evidently, to show that young Cudahy had become sufficiently famil iar with the voice and the peculiar! ties in speech of his captor and guard to recognize the same when heard by him at some future time. As previ ously published, after Callahan was arrested the Cudahy boy was given an opportunity to hear a conversation be tween him and Chief Donahue in the latter's office, after which he declared that Callahan's voice and peculiarities cf speech were the same as those of his former guard. It is therefore pre dicted that the prosecution will today ask young Cudahy to identify Calla han by his voice and articulation. So far as given the boy's testi mony describes his captor and guard as a dark man with a stubby black moustache and black hair. This de scription may be fitted to Callahan, al though it is extremely meager and Callahan's moustache at this time is long enough to support a small curl at each end. When the trial was resumed in the morning the court room was crowded with spectators, public interest having been revived by the announcement that the jury had been completed and and the relation of the story of the kidnaping would begin. Edward A. Cudahy and the son for whose release he paid the $25,000 ransom were in court, occupying seats directly behind those of County Attorney Shields and General Cowin. Callahan appeared as blight and cheerful as he was the day before and displayed keen interest in all the proceedings. PLACED IN MARBLE CRYPT.

The other morning when Mrs. Lin strom went to call her husband to breakfast,, a most appalling sight met her eyes. Mr. Linstrom was lying on his bed in a pool of blood which was still issuing from a ghastly wound in his forehead. By his side lay a Si calibre rifle. His little son slept peacefully by him. Linstrom was f a naturally jovial disposition, being his own worst ene my. Hard drinking and financial re verses are the causes assigned for the deed, though there is some question as to his sanity. Some time ago his wife caused his arrest on the charge of insanity, but the examining board could find nothing to prove him anything but rational, and he was discharged.

He is as generous and appreciative as is a Bos ton poet, of whom the Herald tells, who sent a poem to a New York peri odical and received a check for $3 in payment therefor. The poet pocketed the insult, and the uncashed check now adorns his library in a beautiful frame. Canada's Coming Census.

Andrick is now 6T years of age. Mr. Andrick served through the whole of the Civil War. He was wounded, three times by ball, and twice by bayonet. When he entered the service of his country In 1861, he was hale and hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since the close of the War however, Mr. Andrick has had very bad health. For fifteen years, he never lay down in bed for over an hour at a time. He had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew into Bright's Disease. His heart also. troubled him very much. On Oct 18th, 1300, he was weighed. and weighed only 102 pounds, being but a shadow of his former Belf. He commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on the 26th of last December, and on Feb. 20th was again weighed, and weighed 146 pounds. He says: "I have spent hundreds of dollars and received no benefit, until on the 26th of December last, I purchased one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am cured, and I am free from any pain. My heart's action is completely re stored. I have not the slightest trace of the Bright's Disease, and I can sleep well all night. I was considered a hopeless case by everybody, but to day I am a well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "For the last sixteen years my wife has been in misery with bearing down pains, pains in the lower part of the abdomen and other serious ailments. When she saw what Dodd's Kidney Pills were doing for me she com menced to use them. She now feels like another woman, her pains have all disappeared and her general health is better than It has been for years. "She is so taken up with Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they have dene for us that she has gone to Mr. Corn wall's Drug Store and bought them for some of her friends for fear that if they went themselves they might make a mistake and get something else." There Is something very convincing In the honest simple story of this old veteran and his wife. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never fail. The Ilelles Came. By way of a joke some one recently sent to a New York society belle a full grown camel.
