Cudahy, Br., and tho chief of police have received several communications which, It Is believed, uro tho handiwork of this particularly troublesomo class of citizen. Tho motlvo which prompts tbo writing Is In most cases Impossible to divine; In others It Is moro obvious, but few, Indeed, arom to have any Information of valuo to Impart.

Somo appear to bo Impelled solely by n desire to becloud the enso and worry tho pollco with senseless taunts, Somo, considering themselves pos fctsscd of analytical ublllty llko that of Sherlock Holmes, throw out covert hints that they would llko to bo employed In tho case as prlvato detectives. Tho matter has l peeked such wide publicity that letters arrive from all Borts of remote points. One was received Monday from San Kranclsco from a man who said that If Mr. Cudahy would pay his way to Omaha ho would glvo him somo Information that would lead to tho rapturo of tbo bandits. Tho pollco of Han Francisco, who wero wired at onco to aircst him and II ml out what ho know, replied that ho knt;w absolutely nothing ul.out tbo chbo except what ho had read In tho newspapers So this man's Ingenious Bchcmo to got n freo railroad ticket failed.

Tho most Interesting of thcso letters nml tbo ones that promise tho most substantial returns, are mailed at Cincinnati, but ap pear to havo been written In Omaha, and uro signed "Klolso T." They aro written legibly with pen and Ink In a femlnlno hand on Windsor hotel (Omaha) letter paper and appear to havo been sent from hero to Cincinnati nnd mailed there by n confederate. Two of theso wero received Monday by Mr. Cudahy (ono In tho morning and ono In tho afternoon) nnd ono by tho chief of police. Tho ono received by tho chief refers to tho other two, and says that In them tho writer has opened negotiations with Sir. Cudahy to reveal to him for a con sideration tbo names and whcrcubouls of tho kidnapers. Of tho two received by Mr. Cudahy ono was turned over to tho chief of police, who forwarded It nt onco to the authorities nt Cincinnati with Instructions to find. If possible, tho person who wroto or mailed It thoro. Tho other Mr. Cudahy mall to Chief Donahue, who will receive It this morning. The chief sees very llttlo significance- In tbo "Klolso T." series of letters hoyond nn attempt on tho part of somuono to throw tho police off the right track. Tho ones of which ho has knowledge make no attempt to "open negotiations," but nro devoted to tnuntlng tho pollco with their failure to find tho bandits. In ono of thorn the writer asks: "What would you do with those mov If you caught them? You havo no law under which you could prosecute." In another placo sho says: "Pat Crowe bad nothing to do with tho abduction, and Don ahue knows ho did not."

Bho takes special pains to leavo tho Im pression that all parties Implicated In tho cnao havo long slnco left Omaha and its vicinity. "Womnn In the Citse." Tho theory Is held by somo of tho da tectlvrs that "Klolso T." may bo tho mys terious womnn who called with tho llght complcxloned outlaw to rent the Orover street cottago; that sho received less than what sho considered her Just share of tho spoils, and that sho Is now trying to frighten her pals Into a genoroua division. They think tho letters wero written In Omaha. Inclosed In largo envelopes nnd sent to a friend In Cincinnati, who rqmovod tho largo envelopes nnd remallod tho letters proper to tho Omaha address.
