Tho following 1b an Interview given for
The Deo by M. L. Scars, confidential coun

"Edwnrd Cudahy, Jr., left home on tho
evening of December 1$ at about 7 o'clock
to go to Captain Itustln's and deliver some
books. Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy went out bo
foro ho returned nnd when they got home,
about 10 o'clock, they found that hu had not
roturned and Immediately began searching
for him.
"Tho supposition at that tlmo was that
ha might havo been held up or met with
an accident. Mr. Cudahy got two or three
polcemen nnd hlu conchmau and they
searched ail tho Vacant property nrouud
that part of town, but wero uuablo to dis
cover anything, They continued tho search
during tho greater pnrt of the night.
"The next morning Mr. Cudahy called up
Mr, Krolder, nsslstnnt geucial manager of
tho Cudahy Packing rompany, and asked
htm to communicate with mo. 1 called at
Mr. Cudahy's houso about C:1R a. m. on

told ma that Edward had disappeared; that
tho Biippoiltlon .then was that ho had been
probably kidnaped and ho wanted mo to

what had become of the boy. I Immediately
went down to the police station; took a
special detail of six policemen to cover the
main part of the town aud make a thorough
search everywhere. I had four private de
tectives,, together with all tho city de
tectives available, searching the roads
going out of Omaha aud going to the school
house and the hospitals. In fact, wo ctatted
railway men, hack drivers and livery pin
plo and got in- connection with all tho out
side towna by telephone and telegraph nnd
got each of tho railroads to get In commu
nication with their tinln crows, who had
left nfter 7 o'clock that night, December 18,
to sen whether or not they had seen any
thing of the boy.
Hnw (ho Letter.
"When I got back to Mr. Cudahy's houso
ho had a lotter which' had been thrown
Into tho yard. That lotter was pinned by
a enfety pin to the limb of a tree, about
a fcot and n half long, tho pin being tied
on with n string. Wo had tho stick and
the pin on tho letter.
"I left Mr. Cudahy's houso In the morning
about 7 o'clock, probably a little before,
and tho letter was picked up by one of tho
servant?. In the yard Immediately after I
left. It was damp when It was picked
up, Bhnwlng that It had been lying there
for soroo little time. It lay just south of
the Bteps at tho front gnto by a little
ovorgreen tree. Tho letter was ex
amined by me, Oenernl Cowln, Mr. Cudahy
and tho chief of police. Mr. Cudahy was
very strongly of the opinion that tho letter
wns genuine.
"Several plans and propositions wcro dis
cussed, but no definite plan of action was
arrived at. It was the opinion of every
body thnt the letter must not be mado
public. Wo felt sure that It was genuine
and that It must bo kept secret, because
wo wanted to act on it.
"The search, howover, was kopt up by
tho pollco and I got all the boys I could
from tho ofllco who knew young Cudahy to
assist, for tho reason that tliero was a
clue to the effect that a boy answering to
tho description of Edward Cudahy was Been
to go out on the Dundee car between 7 and
S o'clock on tho night of tho IStli. who was
with a boy who had his arm lu n sling;
that, In connection with tlio feet that tho
man who called Mr. Cudahy up In tho
livery barn tit Thirtieth and Leavenworth
had gono north on a bay pony as fast as ho
could go after ho telephoned, presumably
toward Dundee, mnde it n pretty good duo
to follow up.
lli-clile to Obey the Letter.
"Wo camo to tho conclusion about 4
o'clock In tho afternoon that the only
thing to do was to take the money de
manded In tho lotter nnd do Just as the
lotter said. The pollco did not know any
thing about tho lotter, except tho chief,
and ho was Instructed, as everybody wns
Instructed, to keep It secret, nut I think
that he communicated tho lotter to two de
tectives, old confidential men In tho son-
Ice, who ho knew could bo trusted. Tho
police, ns a general proposition, did not
know anything about It.
"About 4 o'cl6ck lu tho afternoon I went
to the OniUm National bank for the money,
,$25,000 In gold,', which fluid Instructed
them before closing tlmo to hold out of
tiin vault as I might need It. I went down
with Mr. Cudahy'a coachman In tho slnglo
buggy and got tho gold lu a money grip,
I put It In tho buggy and drove Into the
bam with It when I came bnck and put It
. In n grain sack, nv directed by tho letter,
and tied a letter onto the handle of the
grip addressed to the kidnapers from Mr.
Cudahy to tlw otfeet that Mr. Cudahy hud
' dono his part and expected them to do
thelra, that he wanted his son returned
that night and that ho bad kept faith with
them and they should do tho samo with

cattlo buyer, Puddy McUrath, went with
him, because wo wero afraid to havo him
go alone, although ho insisted ou doing
ho at first. Ho drove out as directed It
the lotter nnd went out what ho thinks wns
ab-ut seven miles until ho saw a lantern
lied to u stick with black nnd white ribbons
on It. Ilo Immediately dropped tho tsack
containing tho money, turned around and
drove home, arriving about i) o'clock. Tho
sack weighed nbout 100 pounds. When he
got homo he went upstairs to lie down
Mrs. Cudahy, however, remained up. I go
back to tho house nbout 10 o'clock nnd
statu until after 11. Mr. Taltferro, our
general manager, was there. I left at about
11 o'clock and knew nothing further until
next morning, but I was immediately nd
vised by telcphono when I came down to
breakfast that tho boy came home about
o ciock mat nigut. rue noy s story ns
contained in Tho Ileo last evening was
correct. It wns reported as the boy
cavo it.

"Thero Is no reason for tho sensational
reports that Mr. Cudahy has dropped tho
matter. Ho will apprehend and punish tho
kidnapers, if It possibly can bo dono, nnd
ho Is doing everything lu his power to
accomplish that end. Ho hns offered a ro
ward of $2i",,000 for tho capturo and con
vlctlon of tho mnn. As to tho statement
of tho chief of pollco that ho could nut
his hand on tho men whoncvor Mr. Cudahy
sam so, i don't think ho mado that stato-
mcut. Tho police at this time, ns far as I
kDow, havo no clue. Thero aro detectives
working on tho enso, nnd Mr. Cudahy. un
der tho ndvlco of his friends nnd attor
neys, has turned the matter over to tho
detectives. Ho is giving them any as
slstancu they call for nnd Is waiting for
mem to communlento with him. Whether
he knows personally of anything tho do
tectlvea nro following up will probably
never bo known outside, becauso It will bo
necessary to keep theso matters n secret.
Win never anything of that kind Is known
and It can bo given to tho papers It will
bo cheerfully mado public."

At 2:15 yestorday afternoon Chief Donohuo
left hla ofllco in Uio city hall to engage
personally in tho search for evidence that
ho hopes will lend to tho apprehension of

where he will direct tho movements of his
detectives.
"Tho flrst thing I hopo to do," said he,
"Is to find tho houso lu which the boy wns
held a prisoner. When wo accomplish that
wo can perhaps get descriptions from the
neighbors of tho men who were soen to
frequent It prior to tho abduction. And I
feel assured that wo cun find this liouto
within tho next six hours.
"The story printed In certain down town
papers to tlio effect that the pollco depart

Into the kidnaping case yesterday by
tho discovery of a witness who Is com

at least an agent employed by them, and,
from tho boy's description of him, they are

"Then ho rang off, thanked mo for the

I am sure I would recognlzo tho man It I

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 21. Tho slml
larlty of tactics adopted by tho Omaha kid
nnpers with those of the man who, In 18'Jl
stolo tho fi-year-old child of David Heals
president of tho I'nlon National bnnk of
this city, has caused local detectives to
remark tho possibility that they were cou
ncctod and executed by tho samo man
Tho mnn who stolo tho Heals child went
under the namo of Itnlston, but wns be
lloved to bo Kd Slpole, a Colorado horso
thief. Kllzabeth Clevldence nnd Alfred
King acted as Halstnn's accomplices, th
woman, who waB a servant In tho Deals
household, stealing the child whllo tho
family wns at dinner and turning It over to
Itnlston. The latter played tho rolo of
detective In his negotiations with Mr. Ieal3
and thu letters ho wrote together with his
general actions In tho plot, wero very
similar to thoso used In tho Cudahy case.
Mr. Deals promised Itnlston that ho would
nover give Information that would lead to
his nrrest. Only tho banker know what
threats tho kidnapers mado In case the
ransom was not forthcoming. Deals lin
medlutely offered n ransom of $5,000 for
a return of tho child, "no questions nsked.
That night, notwithstanding all tho de

When Heals appeared, ItaUton offered to
lestoro tho child for $o,000. if given pro

hours later a second man appeared with
the child nnd was In turn handed n bag
containing $5,000 In gold. Boon after tills
when King nnd the Clevldenco womau were

by walking boldly Into n lawyer's olllco an
retaining counsel to defend his accomplices,
He paid the lawyer $100 In rash and dls

PAULS, Dec. 22.-5 a. in. The Auroro
publishes this morning a seven-column let
ter from M. Emllo Zola to President
Loubet, protesting In characteristically clo
quent fashion ngalnst the paBsngo of the
amnesty bill, which ho stlgiuutUes as
"grave fault" of tho government.
M. Zola Bays: "I nm confident the day
haa arrived when this error of amnest)
If. recognized, as well ns tho fact of tho
gross betrayal by tho second condemna
tion of Dreyfus. It Is tho duty of tho gov
rrnment to put tho Dreyfus case again In
tho hands of the court of cassation and to
allow nil the cases connected with It to
bo fought out, thus giving to the French
nation a lesson In truth und equity without
which It will never bo nppeased. Tho go
eminent, howover, lias decided upon an
opposite course, decided to stillo tho truth
thus plunging tho country Into a nlghinnro
certain to last bo long ns tho Dreyfus
iniquity l not repaired. '
Ilo enumerates the accusations of the fa
mous "J'uccuse" letter, each of which ho
says bus been proved so. nnd he empha
sizes tho Injustice to hlmsolf In "Including
mo among a number of guilty men who
escape under cover of tho bill."
"I predict, he suys, In conclusion, "thii
tho affair is not yet finished. The fourth

that tic Orrinan emperor Is In possession
of tho truth and will bo ennhlrd n throw
