Echo of the Cudahy
Kidnamne Case is
Heard m the Court
The final echo in district court of ths
kidnaping of Edward Cudahy by Pat
Crowe is being heard in a suit in which
J. M. Macfarland, lawyer, is seeking to
recover 15,000 attorney's fees from the
estate of James Callahan, Crowe's ac
complice. Macfarland alleges that Callahan prom
ised him 15,000 to be paid whenever he got
the money, if the attorney should secure
his acquittal of the kidnaping charge
and other charges against him. Macfar
land sets forth that he performed his
Part of the agreement, but that Calla
han, although hs Inherited a valuable
estate prior to his death, never paid the
money. The suit is being tried In res
trict Judge Troup's court.
Callahan was ths accomplice who
guarded Edward Cudahy after he had
been kidnaped, while Pat Crowe was en

Murphy Brings Up

Henry Murphy, as attorney for Jim

police court, has Initiated a new test of
ths present practice of requiring payment
In advance of costs ef appeal to the
district court.

brought the question to the attention of
District Judge Bears. An order signed by
the judge directed that Jones be brought
into court. In a previous decision Judge
Redlck upheld the pratlee of requiring
appeal costs in advance.
"This move is in the interest of ths
poor man," said Murphy. "In many In
stances a man who believes he has been
unjustly convicted In police court is abla
to secure a bond but Is not able to raise
the cash to pay the costs in advance.
The right of appeal- Is constitutional and
may not be denied."

toS.OQO worth of fire apporatua.
The city council committee of the wuole
let down the bars an1 allowed all of ths
apparatus men to horn their way in and
exploit their "sturf." which trade word
means In Uiis instance motor apparatus
for fire departments.
Marpby Offers to Be.
Ths situation is growing acute. During
the meeting Attorney It B. Z unman, for
the White people, stated he had Informa
tion that at a recent Chicago show two
cars of the I. France company were ex
hibited with signs asserting they had been
sold to Omaha. Bert Murphy of the local
I .a France agency immediately Jumped
up and offered to bet fwOO that the alleged
Chicago Incident did not occur.
Attorney Zimman, however, brought out
the fact that a few days after the bids
were opened by the city council the Lo
France people had a private hearing at
night time In Commissioner Wlthnells
office and that other bluders had not been
Invited to that conference.
"If reports are true that the La France
apparatus has been selected by the
superintendent and chief of the fire de
partment, then we are foreclosed from
any hearing." declared Mr. Zimman. "but
I believe it would be well for the com
missioner and the chief to tell the other
commissioners and the people just where
in the La France machine will best
serve the public Interests."
Withnell Prefer La Fraaeo.
Commissioner Withnell replied that the
selection or selections would be made by
the entire city council, but, speaking for
himself, he would buy the La France,
because all members of the fire depart
ment want that type of machine.
C. J. Anderson, one of the bidders, of
fered to furnish the city machines as
stable In every respect as the La France
for $600 less per car, or $10,009 less on ths
entire Job. Mr. Anderson took note that
the city did not specify In the pro
posals Just what kind of cars wanted,
but left that to the bidders.
Ratines Are Fictitious.
"In all but two instances the horse
power ratings as shown are fictitious,"
aeciared Mr. Anderson.
Asked what has been dons In ths way
di inveai.iBai.ion sinos the bids war

chief and master mechanic of ths firs
department went to Des Moines to ob

Efforts to secure Information of prices
paid by other cities for motor flro ap
paratus has not been very satisfactory
to ths city commissioners.
The municipal affairs committee of the
Commercial club sent ths city commis
sioners a letter asking that action on
ths purchase of the apparatus be post
poned until the matter could be gone
over by the commissioners and the com
mittee in Joint session.

CH4PT1CR IV.
Her Mother's Story.
The district sttomey stood at the win
dow of his private office adjoining the
court and stared down at ths hurrying
inrongs while one nervous hand heat' a
devils tattoo sgatnst the somewhat
grimy pane.
It had ben raining and the Identity,
even the sex of the crowd was sub
merged beneath a sea of bobbing blsck
umbrellas between which the wet and
shining tops of the motor ears darted
like huge black beet lea Rut the nmae.
I cutor saw neither the crowd nor the
traffle-ho saw only Mark Page. She
had become almost an obsession with
him now, and though It was not yet
tima for court and there were other
clients beside the stats whose buslneai
claimed his attention In his other office,
hs had drifted here, as he had drifted
unwittingly each morning to mentally
test the links In the chain of his evi
dence against her.
It should be strong enough to bind her
upon ths merciless wheel of the law,
and yvt he waa conscious that more
than one of Its links was weak so weak.
In fact, that not even his masterly sum
ming up for the Jury had bean entirely
a bio to gloss It over. He did not doubt
for a moment that Mary Page waa
guilty of the murder of David Tollock,
but he had not proved her so to his own
Satisfaction. The intricacies of what
had at first seemed so simple a case had
multiplied with almost Incredible rapid
ity, and each clue that it had seemed
must throw an illuminating light upon
the labyrinth of mystery had proved In
turn to be mere will-o'-the-wisps that led
deeper into the maze.
Hs had shown that Pollock was In her
eyes an enemy; he had proved that the
dead man was a wooer whose pursuit
was unwelcome; he had snown that
twice during the recent years Pollock
had forced Mary to promise to be his
wife, but that once the necessity for that
step was removed she had claimed her
freedom again. . She had everything to
gain by his death, which was surety mo
tive enough; added to which, If she were
not guilty he felt she would not have
fled the night after the murder. But
that flight that complete disappearance
a Ithln those few short moments, pre
supposed a confederate someone who
had either let her Into another room In
the hotel or Into one of the houses whose
barks looked tip serosa the narrow
street. A confederate, on the ether
hand, meant a premeditated crime, snd
the bellhop and those at the banquet had
testified that MUry had not expected to
see David Pollock when she went Into
the room.
Time after time as he went hark to
the testimony to the fact that Mary had
had the revolver In her bag, had gone
Into the room snd had been found beside
Pollock's body, he strove to glimpa
some faint rlne that would give a chance
for "fresh evidence." In the meantime.
It was 1-anR.lon'a turn, and the keen
tyed district attorney wondered curiously
Just what defense he would bring. Lang
don's continual refusal to rrom-examlne
the witnesses for the state had naturally
kept his defense wonderfully well hidden.
Vet, when so much of the testimony had
concerned Langtfon himself, crona-ex-
amination must perforce have been a
farce, and tho prosecutor did not ncllevo
Its absence a part of any deep-laid
scheme.
The newspapers were, however, full of
theories as to what tho defense would
be. Sevoral claimed that It would be the
"unwritten law," the guarding of Mary
Pago's honor; another that It would be
proved that Pollock shot himself when
ha found that not even his support of
ner sis room could make Mary marry
him; while still a third said that ths real
criminal would "confess" when put tipon
tho stand. Absurd, all et them, and yet
the third theory brought a frown to the
lawyer's face. Suppose Lansdon himself
confessed to the murder! He didn't be
lieve Lsngdnn had committed it, but he
loved Mary and ha might perjure himself
to save her.
"Hello, Chief!" A volos from the door
Interrupted his revery and he turned
quickly.
"Hello, Sheenan. Have you got any
thing" The detective came In and shut the
door.
"No," hs said, "not a thing along the
lines you spoke of. Slade doesn't know
anything except what hs told, snd I've
traced Langdnn's movements for threo
days before the murder, down to each
minute, and there's nothing to hang a
dog's hair to."
"Did you find out about the automo
biles parked on that night?"
"rep; but Casey was on the Job at that
comer, and there wasn't as much as a
ghost of a motor went Into the street

houses were locked had been tried by the
watchmsn Just a few mlnules earlier, on
account of the club there. The Pas
woman must havs gone down the fire
escape and climbed Into the hotel at an
other floor that's the only answer."
The prosecutor turned again to the
window. "Atl right." he said curtly. But
the detective lingered.
"Say, chief.'' he suggested, hesitatingly,
"have you talked to IMnlels Little tat
guy that runs the Covington? I saw him

Omaha Eighteenth
City in Amount of
Money Orders Paid
A good Index of a city's slse and busi
ness activity is ths money order depart
ment of tho postofflse.
According to this Index Omaha Is the
eighteenth city of the United States. A
tabulation of amounts paid at the vari
ous offices of ths larger cities has Just
been received here from Washington.
It places Omaha well in advance of
such cities as Denver with 144,000 people,
Indianapolis with 244,000, New Orleans
with 339.000 and Baltimore with 658.000.
The figures given are for money orders
paid and a large part of those are pre
sented by ths business houses, having
been received from customers in payment
for goods.
It is thus that the money orders paid
are an indication of the business done by
a city. '
In Omaha the money orders cashed in
ths last three months of 1914, were $1,067,-
127.12, and in the same three months of
1S15 they were 11.119.389.42, an Increase of
$52,262.37.
LOCAL FIRMS SUED FOR
UNDER PAY OF RATES
Two little suits. Involving three big
corporations, were filed In federal court.
The plaintiff in both is Benjamin F.
Bush, receiver for the Missouri Pacific
railroad, and he seeks to recover $22.40
from the TJpdlke Grain company and
tli.lt from the Waterloo Creamery com
pany for alleged underpayments of
freight.
