n THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1921. 10 Solution Near In Fogg Murder, Dunn Believes Police Commiuioner Con fident Authorities Are Very Clow to Solving Staying Case. When Police Comni!ioner Dunn as Informed yesterday of develop .nientt in the confession of Frank Tierce, Implicating Walter C, alias "Finger" Stevens and Mike Damato, vho were charged yesterday with the murder of Frank Fogg last summer, he expressed the belief that the authorities were very close to the solution of the shooting;. County Attorney Shotwell declines still to make public the statement made by Pierce in full, although portions of his alleged , statement were obtained yesterday. Robbery Planned in Cell According to his atory, he and Mike Damato were confined in the same cell at the city jail, following Damato's arrest July 14. It was here, according to his statement, that the robbery of the Fogg drug More was planned for the night of July 30. - His statement says he was not re leased when Damato was, but was taken to the county jail arid did not tnke part in the killing. . He then states that Stevens and Damato committed the crime which ended in the murder of the druggist. Follow ing his release, he states, the trio , met and divided the loot. ; . Pierce claims that the $1,000 rc .ward offered by Frank Fogg's widow iiiduced him to make a clean breast of the whole thing. Many Details Verified. . Evidence against the two mon. however, seems to he based almost entirely upon Pierce's statements, al though many of the details of the crime have been vejified. Damato and Stevens were picked from a group of 10 prisoners in the county jail as men seen near the scene of the crime the night of the tnurder by Mrs. Grace M. Russell, Dewey avenue. Pierce, who is confined in the cily jail at Lincoln, will be .returned ; to Omaha this mornirtK to sign the statcnynt made by him. , It is quite probable he will be questioned' today by Commissioner Dunn with rrgard to alleged state ments made by him, implicating sev eral police officers. .

Chalto-Yutan CutoftMay Be Operated Soon Tentative Promise Made hy Burlington Official After Getting Petition From ' , Residents on Line. After several years of practical idleness, except for the switching of a few. sand cars, the much-heralded Chalto-Yulan cutoff of the Burlinn ton railroad, which' had some promi nence, before the war, bids fair to become a regular railroad, in spite of the many difficulties through which it has passed. Yesterday afternooa a delegation of citizens- living along the line called, upon W. K. Childe, traffic manager of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and filed a petition ask ing that the railroad be placed in service. Mr. Childe in turn placed the petition befpre W.'F. Thiehoff, general manager of the Burlington, who intimated that aomrtlilng would be done in the near futurt. The Chalto-Yutan railroad first came Into prominence in 1907 when the Burlington built a railroad from Sioux City to Ashland. Omaha busl ness men went to Chicago and pro tested before rail officials, asking that the road be continued from Ashland Into Omaha. The panic of that year prevented the continua tion of the road at that time. . In 191.1 activities were revived and the Chalto-Yutan cutoff u built, which decreased the distance about IS miles, giving Omaha direct con nection with Sioux City. Expensive bridges were built over the Platte and F.Ikhorn riven and the road was ready to operate when the war came on in 1914 and prevented it. , The road remained idle until the government took over, the railroad in lu18 and it was only through pro tests of residents along the line and Omaha business men that the road was spared from being torn up and the, materials salvaged for war pur poses.
