PAT GROWE IN GLUTGH OF LAW Is Finally Landed at Omaha to Answer for Crima HE IS ALLEGED KIDNAPER Crowe Says He Wanted to Be Arrested as He Is Determined to Reform and Lead a Life Beyond Reproach. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 11.—Pat Crowe, shackled to Detective Heltlleld, of th< Omaha detective department, and ac companied by Chief Detective Dunn, arrived in Omaha from Butte, Mont., where he was arrested a week ago. A crowd of 2,000 persons had gathered at the union station and they filled the station and approaches In every di rection to obtain if possible a glimpse of him. A large cordon of police opened an aisle from the platform of the train to a patrol wagon in the rear of the .station, and Crowe, between tbe two detectives, with n patrolman walking ahead and another behind, was marched to the wagon, amid the cheers of some and exclamations of others. The extraordinary precaution taken by the police department for landing <'t owe safely behind the bars seemed hardly necessary, for he gave little heed to them, and apparently had no dsh to escape. In the patrol wagon five officers and tluee reporters furnished company for the prisoner to the police station. A large crowd followed the patrol to the station, where another crowd had gath ered to witness the return of Crowe. Precautions were again taken to pre terit friends from reaching the prison er. and he was hurried Into the cap tain’s office, where he was registered. Opposite his name was placed the charge of shooting with intent to kill or wound. The prisoner shook hands with Chief of Police Donahue, Agent Vizard, of the Union Pacific, and Ben jamin Keegan, a lifelong Omaha friend. He was searched and was allowed to retain a pencil and a few dollars In money. He ordered a supper of steak, coffee and dessert, after eating which he consented to see a representative of the Associated Press. Crowe was not inclined to talk of his past, and refused absolutely to speak of his alleged connection with the kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy. He declared that much had been published of his alleged confessions and other matters which were without foundation. He mentioned a confession said to have been signed by him at Butte implicat ing young Cudahy in a conspiracy in connection with the kidnaping. "When this case comes to trial,” said Crowe, “the truth will go to the world: God will take care of me; he takes carb of everybody and makes no mistakes. I do not feel nearly so anx ious about securing my liberty as I do in reform and get back to an honest iife. I once did well in Omaha, and if given a chance I believe I can do as well again.” "Is it true that you once offered to leturn $21,000 to Edward Cudahy if he would not prosecute you?” was asked. "I believe Mr. Cudahy has made the statement that I did so. I do not think he would tell a lie for $21,000,” he re plied. i ': owe appeared nervous at first, and hesitated about seeing anybody. He recognized a reporter with whom he had talked two months ago, and re called an interview in a local news paper office. In registering he was asked what his reputation was. Re laying to this query, Crowe, remarked: Dodging you fellows has been about nil I have done for the past six or seven years." Crowe took particular notice of the ■ lewd that had gathered at the station, and remarked that it was a flattering welcome that Omaha was giving one • if its former citizens. Chief of Police John J. Donahue gave a sigh of relief when he saw Crowe lately inside the steel cage. "That man has given me more worry iiian any criminal with whom I ever have had to deal.” said the chief. “His venturesome manner and daredevil sys tem of defying the authorities has en itiled him to keep out of the clutches •if the law for many years, and it is a relief to know that lie is at last to be brought to trial.” One of Crowe’s friends had engaged an attorney before the train reached i imaha. For counsel he will have John i. Yeiser, a prominent lawyer of this city. Mr. Yeiser called at the city jail tn see Crowe, and they had a brief talk. Attorney Yeiser said last night that e did not know what the first step vuuld be, nor whether or not it would be decided to waive preliminary hear : g. The matter will probably be set •d between the county attorney and i rowe's counsel today. The first Bertillon description ever . mde of Crowe will be taken by the i imaha police today. Among those vhom ho recognized last night was De tective Duffy, of Chicago, who was at rbe city jail when the prisoner arrived. Duffy is in Omaha to take a prisoner to Chicago. Crowe's appearance is anything but bat of a criminal. He was smoothly -haved. wore a stylish suit of clothes Ith patent leather shoes, and other '•tides to match. Except for his white lir, he does not look to be 26 years of ■,e. which he says is correct. ONLY GOT $3,000,000. Cuts of the Principals in the Graft Is Placed on Trial at Phila delphia.

NEW DEPOSITIONS IN TOM DENNISON’S CASE Thomas’ Lecture “The Crime of Two States,” Enters Into the Prospect Now. “KID” SLY QUESTIONED Says That He Is Permitted to Stay in Omaha Providing He Don't Commit Any Crimes There. Omaha. Neb., Oct. 11—Elmer Thomas' famous lecture on "The Crime of Two States” will be introduced in the trial of Tom Dennison for the Pollock dia mond robbery. This Is one outcome of a tilt between Attorneys Thomas and Connell Saturday during the taking of the deposition of Alfred Sly, known as "Kid" Sly, which was intended to im peach the testimony of Shercliffe. . The most interesting of the informa tion furnished by Sly came out In Ids cross examination by Thomas, when he stated that he had been told that so long as he benaved himself he could remain in Omaha without being mo lested by the police. Sly further stated that it was a practice of his to go to church and Sunday school whenever he thought it might be possible to steal a pocketbook or two. He denied, however, that he ever did anything of the kind in Oma ha, as he was always “good” when in this city. He Is a Veteran Thief. Sly was released from the peniten tiary at Lincoln two months ago and admits that his only occupation has been that of a thief. He declare*!, how ever, under oath that he has nevei committed any crime of any kind in Omaha. When asked his reasons foi this by Mr. Thomas Sly replied: "I do not steal In Omaha because this is my home: this is where T live.’ Mr. Thomas attempted to g?t Sly to say that either Chief Donahue or Chief Detective Dunn had given him this promise of protection until Connell in terposed with tlie remark: "I object to Mr. Thomas injecting into this case his light with- the police o( Omaha and I object to him bringing polities into the case. If he persists In trying to mix up politics in this case then I insist that he file as evidence his ‘Crime of Two States.' so that Iowa politics may be injected.” “I consent to that," retorted Thomas quickly. "I want the jury to read that speech.” Pal of Shercliffe’s. Sly testified that he and Shercliffe had been pals and had worked together at several places. The day before the Pollock robbery ShercUffe. he said, was in Kansas City and he arrived in Oma ha i he morning of the robbery. The two met at the Windsor hotel and there Shercliffe. he said, told him that he had a man spotted who had lots of diamonds and that he wanted Sly to go with him on the deal. Sly consent ed, but changed his mind because he wanted to pick Pollock's pockets, while Shercliffe wanted to “throw him up in the air and if necessary shoot him.” "That is not the way I work,” said Sly. "I will pick a pocket and do moat everything, but I won't do the gun act.” Sly. continuing, said he accompanied Shercliffe to the Webster street depot, where the latter took the train on which the robbery was committed, and flatly contradicted all the evidence of Shercliffe to the effect that he met Dennison at a saloon near the depot a few moments before he left on the train. Following the taking of Sly's testi mony an adjournment was taken uni II next Saturday, at which time addition al depositions will he received, which will complete all of the evidence which the defense proposes to introduce at the trial at Red Oak.

SOUGHT TO KILL ALL Middletown New York Is the Scene of a Diabolical Plot to Wipe Out Every Member of the Olney Family. Middleton, N. Y., Oct. 10.—All at tempts of the county and local police of ficials to clear up the mystery of the murder of Willis and Fred Olney and little Alice Ingerlck, at the Olney farm, near here, and the murderous assault on Mrs, Ingerlck on Friday | night have so far been fruitless. I It was believed that some clew to the murder had been found when | Alonzo Graham, an old man, living near I the Olney place, was arrested on Infor mation furnished by Mrs. Ingerlck, the only member of the Olney household who escaped death, but who was found terribly Injured and unconscious In the barn. After being kept in custody all day and closely examined, Graham con clusively proved his innocence and was discharged from custody. Mrs. Ingerlck was employed by him as a housekeeper until a few weeks ago. She returned to Middletown and spon went to live with the Olney broth ers. This was said to have been re sented by Graham, who Is reported to have made efforts to Induce her to re turn to him, and this, .with stories told by Lulu Ingerlck of alleged threats by Graham against her mother, appear to have been the busls on which the au thorities decided to arrest Graham. Daniel Davis and his wife, who live near New v ernon, have been taken to police headquarters and later it was announced that there apparently was no evidence that would Justify holding them and that they would be honorably discharged.

Marks In the underbrush showed the bodies had been dragged from a wagon to the spot where tile bodies were discovered. Tried to Kill Others. The fact that an attempt was made to kill every person who was known to have been in the Olney house has caused the police and the entire neigh borhood to declare there were other motives than robbery for the commis sion of the crime, and that the rifling , of the Olney brothers’ pockets was I only a ruse to mislead pursuers. I As yet no plausible theory for the , murders has been advanced. Mrs. Ingerlck, who was separated from her husband, has been employed as housc ' keeper at the Olney place only about I a month. Her husband, Martin Inger 1 lck. lived at Wurtzbero, not far from Middletown. Four Persons in House. The four persons who were In the house about dark yesterday, according to Lulu Ingerlck. who left the place shortly before the tragedy, were Willis | Olney, aged 62; Fred Olney, aged 58; Mrs. Ingerlck and daughter Alice. Lulu, aged 13, went to Middletown, returning in time for a late supper. Finding the house empty the girl summoned neigh j bors who searched the premises. Findinjj of the Bodies. Alice was found dead In the cellar, | her head beaten with an iron pipe. Her • mother was found In a barn, apparent I ly beaten by the same Instrument. Wll ' lis Olney was a widower and Fred was a bachelor. | In the house no traces of robbery i have yet been found. The only articles j of value known to have been taken | from the brothers In rifling their pock- I i ets were two silver watches. Clew to the Murderers. The police believe the wagon which I evidently carried the murdered broth er's to the woods Is the same vehicle which several persons yesterday no ticed in the vicinity of the Olney farm. . Two strangers were In the wagon. They drove Into the old backwoods road about a half mile away from the Olney 1 home. This same wagon was seen later going up an old road, then it disap peared in the tt-oods at it o’clock at night, several hours after the time when it is believed the murder was committed. The wagon was seen on 1 ■ same road going away from the vicinity of the Olney farm toward the mountains. REVEALS A FOUL MURDER. Southern Montana Is the Scene of «. Crime That Has No Clue.

Massachusetts Democratic Convention Also Seizes Opportunity to De mand Some Reforms. Boston, Oct. 10—The democratic state, convention assembled here today to 'nominate a state ticket, i General Chas. W. Barleit of Boston (was nominated for governor. The remainder of the ticket nomi nated follows: Lieutenant Governor—Henry M. Whitney. Secretary of State—Henry B. Little. Treasurer—P. J. Ashe. Auditor—Daniel J. Doherty. Attorney General—John D. Leahy. The platform. In substance, follows: “The paramount issue at this tlm* ■before the people of Massachusetts 1*. relief from tariff restrictions. The ef fect of this policy, forced upon the dom inant republican party by the greed of great and selfish Interests, has been to cut Massachusetts off from its national markets of sale and purchase and to push the state toward the danger line of Industrial decline. It Is known in trade reports, financial statements and census returns that while the Industrie* of the country as a whole have mate rially increased In the past decade, those of this state have remained near ly stationary. We believe that sensible relief from these evils could be obtained without disturbance to business by placing upon the free list a number of raw materials of our industries, such as coal. Iron, lumber, hides, wood pulp, and by Immediate enactment of a dual tariff law which, while having the pres ent tariff as a maximum, would give liberal reductions In duty rates to those nations that will accord to us favor able trade opportunities. “The republican party, ruled by the great Interests which arc fattening on the spoils of protection, counselsj delay. It will not touch for the pur pose of change a single schedule In the tariff law until compelled to act as a result of political defeat. "We believe general laws should take the place of special laws In legislation relating to public service corporations; that all corporations should be pro hibited from contributing money to be used for political purposes, and that as the tariff Is the mother of trusts, these offsprings should be deprived of excessive protection, by means of which they are oppressing the people; that In all attempts made to regulate the business of the country through the medium of national government care should be taken to respect the rights of state governments and to prevent the creation of bureaucratic authorities capable, when located In distant capital and when working without direct responsibility, of over riding the wishes and destroying the liberty of the people. "We heartily commend the diplo matic courage and sagacity of Roose velt in exerting the great Influence of his office to bring an end to the ter rible and bloody war In the far east.” The platform favors mild or gradual municipal ownership and declares against supervision of Insurance com panies. TO OUST NEW YORK LIFF Missouri Will Do So Unless Manage ment Is Changed and Campaign Fund Is Replaced.

New York, Oct. 10.—The abandonment of Tony Marendlno by the persons who had kidnaped him and held him for ran som, and the return of the little Italian boy to his parents, which occurred last night, has given the police no clue to the kidnapers. So impressed with fear of the persons who had stolen him was the little fel low that he either could or would give no other description of his captivity than a mass of confusing contradic tions, out of which the police could ex tract nothing that would point to the identity of his captors. He had even been so schooled by them that he called them "papa and mamma." but declared, upon closer questioning, that they were not his real parents. The boy, who is 6 years old. was found last evening on a Third avenue trolley car. where lie had been aban doned by two men. He had been miss ing twelve days, and in the meantime his captors had endeavored first to ex tort $f>00 and then S5.000 in ransom from his parents.
