    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.

Boston Man Plans Combination Against
Insurance Companies to Force
Them to Disgorge.
Boston. Oct. 11.—A telegram received
by Governor Folk of Missouri from
Thomas Lawson of Boston was sent
by Mr. Lawson in collection with a
movement to form a committee includ
ing the governors of several states and
other persons of prominence to secure
restitution of funds alleged to have
been wrongfully used by large insur
ance company officials and the punish
ment of those guilty of criminal action
'.n connection therewith. Mr. Lawson's
telegram follows:
“Will you, with other governors and
strongest representative men of the
country, serve on a policy holders' pro*
teetive committee of the Equitable,
New York Life and Mutual companies?
Committee, unfettered except if it is
to take possession of the New York
and Mutual and select directors and
controllers, who shall be pledged to ob
tain full restitution and full punish
ment of wrongdoers; also obtain res
titution and punishment of Equitable
wrongdoers. No expense to commit
tee nor need committee travel. Com

represent your section in this sacred
fluty. Kindly wire answer at my ex
pense. This is vital. You will not be
bound until other members' names are
submitted to you."
The telegram was sent yesterday. Mr.
Lawson today declined to discuss the
proposition. He said that the telegram
outlined the plan sufficiently for pres
ent purposes. He also declined to make
known the names of the persons to
whom the telegram had been directed,
although he said that many governors
as well as leading civilians were among
those addressed. It was his purpose,
he said, as soon as possible to an

accepted the invitation to act upon the
protective committee. As soon as the
personnel of the committee was de
cided, he said, organization would be
effected and a definite plan of action
adopted.

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.
Middletown, N. Y., Oct. 7.—A triple
murder was revealed here today when
the bodies of Willis, and Fred Olney
were found in the woods a half mile
from their home, where last night was
found the murdered body of Alice
lngerielt.
The brothers had been shot. Mrs.
Georgia Ingerlck, mother of Alice, who
was found unconscious In a barn on
the Olney brothers' farm last night, Is
dying from a fractured skull.
| Pockets of the brothers’ clothing
were found turned inside out. 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.

“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.

KIDNAPED CHILD SAFE.
Italian Boy Held for Ransom in Brook'
lyn la Abandoned by Men Who
Stole Him.
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.
