not touched upon In tho Interview be
tween tho president nnd delegation,
tho conversation being almost wholly
formal.

president spoko of the desire of the
Cubans to have tho closest possible
relations with tho United States. Ho
said that United States soldiers and
Cubans had fought side by sldo and
driven Spain from tho island and tho
tics between tho two countries were
bound in blood. Tho relations, ho
said, were most amicable and more
than that which usually exists between

CUDAUY WIS STORY
lather of Kidnaped Boy Gives Testimony
in Criminal Court
REITERATES FORMER STATEMENTS
Tho Trlnl of the Alleged Kidnaper Draws
n Great Throne The Youthful Victim
Taken the Stand nnd llclatcs His ex
perience. OMAHA, Neb., April 25. Edward A.
Cudahy, Br., nnd Edward A. Cudnhy,
r., father nnd son, testified nt tho
trial of James Callahan yesterday.
Tho story of tho kidnaping and tho
subsequent payment of the $25,000
ransom, as related by Mr. Cudahy, sr.,
was a repetition of tho reports of the
affair as published at tho tlmo in tho
nows columns of tho Bee. Tho' tes
timony of tho boy, giving tho details
of his abduction and imprisonment,
nlso tallied with tho reports hereto
fore published In this newspaper. In
no detail did tho cvldenco given by
Mr. Cudnhy and his son differ with
tho authentic and exclusive stories of
tho crime printed.
Yesterday forenoon wns taken up
with tho opening statements of coun
sel and a visit by tho Jury to tho
Bceno of tho crime, and in tho after
noon tho taking of testimony began.
Young Cudnhy was placed on the-
witness stand at 4 o'clock and when
court adjourned at 5:30 o'clock his
cvldenco had not reached that point
whero he is expected to positively
Identify Callahan as ono of tho kid
napers. It 1b apparent that tho pros
ecution is leading up to nn Identifica
tion, for tho boy waa mado to relato
in detail tho numerous conversations-
he had with his guard during tho
twenty-eight hours ho was confined In
the Melroso Hill house. It is tho In
tention, evidently, to show that young
Cudahy had become sufficiently famil
iar with tho volco nnd tho peculiari
ties in speech of his captor and guard
to recognize tho samo when heard hy
hlm at somo future time. As previ
ously published, after Callahan was.
arrested tho Cudahy boy was given nn
opportunity to hear a conversation be
tween him and Chief Donahuo in the
latter's office, after which he declared
that Callahan's volco nnd peculiarities
of speech wcro the same as thoso 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 tho boy's testi
mony describes his. captor and gunrd
as a dark man with n stubby black
moustache and black hair. Tills 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 tho trial was resumed In the-
morning tho court room was crowded
with spectators, public interest having
been revived by tho announcement.
that tho jury had been completed and
nnd tho relation of the story of the?
kidnaping would begin. Edward A.
Cudahy and the son for whoso releaso
ho paid tho $25,000 ransom wero in
court, occupying scats directly behind
thoso of County Attorney Shields nnd
General Cowln. Callahan appeared as.
bright and cheerful as ho was the day
before nnd dlsplnycd keen Interest in.
nil tho proceedings.
