The moment the words "not tullty" were
prol.ounced there was a cheer and clapping
of hands from the crowd In the roar of the
court room and the crowd began to work
forward apparently to congratulate the
prisoner. '
Court Hebnkes Crowd. '
Mr. Ritchie, Crowe's attorney, atepped
forward and grasped the prisoner's hand,
and Crowe arose. There was. considerable
confualon In the court room at the moment
when Judge Sutton, his void trembling
with enutlon, commanded order, and when
quiet had been restored he said, with great
emphasis:
"This court Is very much surprised thai
when a Jury would pass a verdict clearing
such a notorious criminal that you citizens
would mak such a demonstration aa this.
I um ashamed of you. You should be
ashamed of yourselves. I will ark the
biilllf to clear the court room."
The noise immediately subsided and the
bulllffs proceeded to clear the room.
After the. crowd had left the court room.
Judge Sutton nsked if It was the wish of
tho county attorney to have the Jury

Justice, and we ask that he be still kept

Deputy Sheriff Haac then arose and re
arrested Crowe upon a warrant from lowi,
charging him with a street car robbery In
Council Bluffs. Upon the advice of his
attorney, Crowe waived the reading of the
warrant. . Judge Sutton then directed thai
Crowe continue in the custody of tlra
sheriff.
The Jury in the meanwhile continued
seated in the jury box, and Judge Sutton
finally turned to tho Jury and discharged
It from further consideration of the case.
The usual formality of thanking the Jury
for Its "fidelity and attention to duty"
waa not indulged In and the Jurors arose
and started to file out.
.Ttirire Sutton called to the sheriff: "Mr.
Sheriff, you will not permit the prisoner
to thank the Jury."
The Jury then left the court room.
Crowe In the meanwhile looked consid
erably perturbed over his re-arrest on the
Iowa charge, and waa manifestly chag
rined that he could not bo permitted to
thank the Jury for his acquittal.
He was immediately taken back to the
Jail by Deputy Sheriff Haxe.
Crowe Taken to Council Bluffs.
Sheriff McDonald at once notified the
Council Bluffs authorities of Crowe'a re
arrest on the Iowa robbery charge. - In
the meanwhile every preparation had been
made for the contingency of Crowe'a ac
quittal and the necessary requlaltlon papers
had been executed, so that there would be
no delay In the matter ot extradition.
The sheriff and two deputies of Pottawat
tamie county, Iowa, were In waiting at
Cfiupctl Bluffs for the message from the Ne
braska side that Crowe could not be con
victed In Nebraska, and upon the receipt of
Sheriff McDonald's message the Iowa offi
cers hurried over to Omaha. A hack was
hastily procured and the trio of Hawkeye
officers was soon at the Douglas county
Jail.

In the meanwhile a nmlley crowd had

Following his acquittal In Omaha Pat
Crowe waa brought to Council Bluffs and
lodged In the county Jail. The district
grand Jury of Pottawattamie county at ita
January session returned a Joint Indictment
against Pat Crowe and Arthur Levi of thla
city on the charge 6t holding up and rob

night of July 2, lH05f near the east approach
to the motor bridge. The bonds of the two
defendants tinder the indlctmenwere, fixed

' Crowe was brought to Council Bluffs In
a hack by Sheriff Canning and Sherman
Humphrey, Janitor of the county court
house. When word reached Sheriff Canning
that the Omaha authorities were ready to
turn over Crowe to the Iowa authorities
all of the deputy sheriffs were engaged
elsewhere, and Sheriff Canning had to Im
press Janitor Humphrey into service. The
trip from Omaha waa made without Incl
dent and the party reached the county Jail
about 5:30 o'clock.
Jailer Gallup had been notified of the Im
pending arrival of Sheriff Canning and his
prisoner and everything was in readiness
to receive Crowe. After Crowe'a name and
other particulars had been entered on the
Jail register the prisoner waa placed in a
cell off the corridor on the second floor,
where he has as company Robert Vroman
and Harry Raker, the two young fellows
charged with the theft of valuable brass
fixings from threshing machines; and Nor
man Taylor, the youth charged with break
ing into Mn. C. Gregory's house and steal
ing a sunt of money.
Crowe was as debonnaire and cheerful aa
a I-year-old. He looked as if he had Just
stepped from the barber's chair and was at
tired in n dark suit, with a long overcoat
with velvet collar, and a black fedora hat.
He carried a small grip in his hand, which
he was permitted to take Into the cell with
him.

While the formalities of registering were

rat Out BeetsM of Constant Attention
to Defendant.
The bailiffs in charge of the court room
during the Pat Crowe trial have bad con
aiderable trouble with people who hare be
come morbidly Interested either la the
cast or In the cWendant. One of these
who has been a constant attendant at the
trial Is Mrs. Rachel Olesnn of Minneapolis,
who claimed to haVe Important clues In
the case. Another Is Mrs. Badle Meadows
of this city, whose persistent attentions
to Crowe caused hr to be barred from
the court room during the greater part of
the trial. Before the hearing of the case
she was talking to Crowe through the
bars of the Jail. 8ln nlso sent h!m bou
quets and onre a basket of fcod. It Is
said at I lie trial she made attempts to pass
notes to him and it was noticed she al
ways took her position as near him as she
could get. Owing to her actions she was
barred from the court oom Friday even
ing. She waa kept awar until the last day
of the trial, when she was allowed to listen
to the arguments on condition that she oc
cupy a seat Inside the bailiff'.? railing and
make no attempt to talk to Crowe after
the session dosed. She was ordered to
leave the court room Immediately and go
directly out of the front door on Farnam
street. She accepted the terms and was
allowed to hear the case the last day. She
remained until some time after the Jury
had gone out Thursday night.
She la a yotmg woman aald to be living
apart from her husband. She Is of rather
striking appearance and attracted consid
erable attention. She is a blonde and al
ways wore a sealskin cloak, faced with
fur of a lighter color, and a green trimmed
hat. She was nearly always accompanied
by friends. Until sha was barred from
the court room she usually followed Crowe
and Captain Hate to the Jail door, where
she would beg to he allowed to talk to
Crewe. Crowe. It Is said, did not like her
attentions, as he feared It would prejudice
his case If It should Jecoine public.
Several other persons who took an undue
Interest In the case gave the bailiffs some
trouble and aom of them were excluded
from, the court room. One or two of these
represented themselves to be detectives.

Much Dissatisfaction with the Retnrn
of the Jury.
I am much discouraged," said County
Attorney Slabaugh after the Jury had re
turned its verdict. "I am not only discour
aged at' tho outcome of tho care, but be
cause of the effect the verdict will have.
It is bound to wield Its Influence. In the
first place It will Injure Omaha's reputa
tion. Abroad the knowledge of Crowe's
written confession that he and he alone
planned and executed the kidnaping of Mr.
Cudahy's boy, demanded tho ransom and
then offered to return Kl,0u0 of it as tho

tion has gone; it has been carried to every
remote corner of the globe where the story
of this crime' has gone and it could not but
have created the general Impression thut
Crowe was guilty. He said he was guilty.

will not convict hint even if he Is guilty.'
I say it is a discouraging sign and a bad
thing for Omaha.
"And then It will serve to draw others.

leaning toward waywardness, into crime.
If Pat Crowe can commit such a heinous
crime and go rree, why cannot 17 many a
youth will ask himself. It's bad on this no-
count.
"It seems to reflect very accurately the
growing sentiment of disregard for the law
when the Interests of a rich man are at
stake. That is a dangerous tendency and
Instead of checking It, such results as this
verdict only serve to accelerate It."
' y Places Premium on Crime.
Chief of Police Donahue was . surprised
when he learned of .ihe Crowe verdict. Ex
pressing himself on ther subject, he said:
"I am so surprised I do not know what
to think of It, , do not know what the ver
dict was based on.' it certainly waa one of
the strongest ' cases"eer put up In this
county and I am,' Indeed, sorry such a ver
diet was rendered: ThK outcome of the case
will have the effect of making other crim
inals feel like all they have to do la to
make of themselves heroes In the estima
tion of a certain class of people and then
they will be above the reach of law. One
consolation Is. the county attorney, his as
slstants and the police department did their
full duty In this case, and we will have to
abide by the verdict rendered; but we cer
tainly feel like It Is somewhat of a dls
grace, Jn view of the evidence offered and
the Instructions of the court, to have to
submit to such a verdict.
"It Is poor encouragement to a police de
partment that has been working for years
getting the facts and the absolute evidence
connecting Crowe with having been the
principal In the kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy
and the robbery of $35,o; from hie father.
The verdict is a slam on the community. It
will place a premium on crime and will
produce an effect that will take years to ef
face." English Hub Little (o Say.
Attorney J. P. English, chief counsel for
Crowe, did not care to commit himself at
length on the result of the trial. -
"I do not know thut It Is necessary for
me to comment on the outcome of the
trial, except to say I am not aurprlsed at
the result. My ambition waa to give my
client the benefit of my best services and
to see that his defense waa conducted
along reputable and legitimate lines. The
counsel for the defendant insisted In the
arguments to t lie Jury that the state had
failed to make a case that would warrant
a conviction, and the Jury seems to have
taken thla view of the evidence," stated
Mr. Hnglish.
Yellow Journals Responsible.
"The acquittal of Crowe In spite of his
own confesxiou of 'guilt is to be charged up
to yellow Journalism," said one well known
business man In disgusi. "These papers
have made him out to I a hero and opened
their columns wide to his ingenious pleas
for sympathy and promises of reform. They
are chiefly responsible for building up a
sentimental worship of this highwayman
through which he will escape punishment
for one of the most dastardly crimes on
record."
Good Citiseus Deplore Verdict.
Not, for many years has any court trial
In Omaha arous-d such general interest
aa did the Crowe trial The case itself
having startled the world at Ita Inception
and rekindled Interest to a high pitch at
Its recent revival after a lull of several
years. It was only natural the trial at
last, after five years, of the man whom
the public everywhere regarded aa the
kidnaper of a millionaire's son and the ex
torter of a millionaire's thousands, should
have created such profound Interest. Tho

occasion a chance of satisfying Its disease
for excitement.
As Is pretty well known to those who
have followed the case through the papers,
the court room was literally Jammed from
the time the first steps were taken to
empanel a Jury until Judge Sutton, rising
to the full dlcntty of his office, drove from
his court room that crowd which dared
cheer jhe verdict of "Net guilty." Th"
Bee's telephones, and doubtless those of
oth'T newparr, were busily engaged In
transmitting the numerous Inquiries all
Thursd-iy night nd Friday until the Jury
returned, as to the outcome. Interest
never lagged. Men. women and children
would call tip to know how the Jury had
decided. And when the evening pajers
bearing the coveted news went upon the
streets they were eagerly bought up. The
newsloys hud another of their busy dnys.
Everybody Wanted to know the result and
know It in detail.
Street cars carrying men and women
home from their d.iy's work last evening
were symposiums of study. There were
reflected sentiments which contain more
than superficial thought. There may have
been a vast amount ot Crowe sentiment,
but certainly there was a deal of the
other sort. For Instance, one banker on
a Vest Karnam street car observed:
'It's a deplorable thing. The Idea that
such a crime could go unpunished when
the perpetrator brasenly boasted of com
mitting It Is too ominous to be pleasant.
It emphasise one thing, and that Is the
growing spirit of socialism; a spirit that
the classes arc arrayed against the masses.
It reflects a dangerous tide of thought.
Mr. Cudahy was h rich man and a packer.
Just now the big packers of the country
are being made defendants In court cases.
It has become popular to denounce these
men and unthinking people under such
conditions are not able to do full Justice
In thought or df-ed to him who Is con
demned. I wish the argument of the prose
cution that this was a case not between
Mr. Cudahy and Pat Crowe, but the
state of Nebraska and Pat Crowe, could
havo prevailed. For in that lay the es
sence of a great economic prlnclDlc. a
principle which, If we are to conserve the
principles of our government and law, must
bo recognized."
Judge Kedick of the district court, a
collenge of Judge Sutton, before whom the
case was tried, remarked:
"As a Judge I have no opinion, but as a
citizen I want to express my admiration
for the splendid stand which Judge Sutton
took, for the manful and honorable and
fearless way in which he rebuked those
people who cheered that verdict."
HISTORY . OK THE CROWE CASE.
Condensed Statement of a Criminal
Event of World-Wide Notoriety.
On the evening of December 18, 1900, Eddie
Cudahy, the 14-year-old son of Edward A
Cudahy, the millionaire packer, disappeared
from his home at 518 South Thirty-seventh
street. The pollen were notified, but not
until the next mornlr.g was a clue obtained
Mr. Cudahy then telephoned the police a
letter had been found In his front yard ex
plaining that his son had been kidnaped.
The letter was dated December 19, and was
anonymous. It stated the boy had been
kidnaped and demanded IS.OOO for his ran
som, calling to mind the case of Charley
Ross as u reminder of the direful conse
quences should the father fail to comply
with the demands of the criminals. Hideous
torture 'to his boy and the capture of an
other rich man s son to be held for J100.000
ransom also were threatened for noncom
pliance.
Thla letter minutely instructed Mr. Cud
ahy aa to the course he should follo-v f.n
redeeming his son. He was to place $25,000 In
gold pieces, fives, tena and twenties, In a
flour sack, haul It to a certain spot on the
Fremont road designated "by a lantern
this being ordered done at night leave the
money, return heme at once and disclose
the matter to none. Mr. Cudahy. against
the advice of attorney and police, did
commanded, getting the money as quickly
aa possible from the Omaha National bank
and with an escort taking it In a buggy to
the very apot designated by the lantern,
The boy was returned safe and sound
within thirty-six hours after his abduction,
at 1:30 in the morning.
Then the police got busy ou the case try
ing to get a clue to the kidnaper or kid
napers,. December J), after Mr. Cudahy
had employed two Plnkerton detectives
from Chicago, he said he had a tip that
Pat Crowe, formerly an employe of his
packing house In South Omaha, had been
seen In his neighborhood the afternoon and
evening of the day the boy was taken.
Also he had heard that Crowe had told
ome frlenda of his c.f a scheme he had for
kidnaping a rich man's sou. Combining
these circumstances the police and detec
tives suspected Crowe and took up the trail
for him.
Mr. Cudahy offered a reward of $25,000 for
the rapture of the kidnaper. The city
council and mayor of Omaha duplicated
this offer and Inter Increased It by $.i.0W,
making the total rward offered $05,000. ,
Eddie Cudahy told hia story of how he
waa captured by two men, one of whom
thrust a pistol in his face and told him he
waa Eddie. McGee, who was wanted for
atealing $500, the criminal saying he was
tho sheriff of Sarpy county. The lad was
blindfolded and taken to the famous
Grover street cottage, which had been
rented by two strange men. But the boy
nor the people from whom the cottage was
rented could throw any light upon the. kid
napers. Later James Callahan, who had
been seen with Crowe in the Cudahy neigh
borhood, also waa suspected and a system
atic search for the two was set In motion.
February 15 Callahan was arrested. March
8 arraigned In county court and after a
trial lasting ten days. April ?. 1K01, acquit
ted. Meanwhile the pursuit of Crowe con
tinued without effect. It became rumored
later he had gone to South Africa and
Joined the Boer army.
In the summer of 16 stories began to
circulate of Crowe's presence In Omaha
and of his avowed desire to surrender
and stand trial. April 25. 10. Chief
of Police Donahue announced his belief !
woujtl be but a short time until Pat Crowe
was captured, but the police did not come
In contact with him. so far as publicly
known, until the night of September I.
when Officer A. H. Jackson was shot in a
duel between officers and outlaws, one of
whom was declared to be Pat Crowe, the
affair transpiring on South Sixteenth street
near Vinton. The general impression was
and Is that Crowe shot Jackson, and news
papers have professed to have quote!
Crowe aa confessing the shooting. But nt
any rate Crone again eluded arrest. He
waa finally arrested, however, In Butte.
Mont., October S, l1, by Butte officers
and returned to Omaha on requisition,
where he first stood trial for the allege!
hooting of an officer with Intent to kill
Of this charge he was acquitted and then he
was tried on the charge of robbing Edward
A. Cudahy of $JS,000, thla trial beginning
February 7 and ending February 15. At the
time of the kidnaping the statute books of
Nebraska contained no law dealing with
the crime of kidnaping, except of children
under 10 years of age, and although such
laws alnce have been enacted Crowe could
not be tried under them.
The vital part of the evidence against
Crowe In this latter trial was his letter
to Father Murphy, written April U. WA.
ia which he made a clear-cut confession
cf kidnaping young Cudahy, taking all the
blame on himself, and by Implication ac
knowledged getting the money, for he said
ho offered to return $21,000 of It to Mr.
Cudahy and the latter declined to accept
It en the terms of peace or mercy which
Crowe proposed.

LEWIS BANK BILL PASSES
Amendment Provokes a Hot Debate Between
Senate Members.
MUST REPORT MONEY LOANED TO OFFICERS
Measure Introduced In Senate Tntina
nrlntra and Allowing Owner of
Property to Deduct Mortaaae
from Assessment.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINES. Feb. 1 i Special. )-The
senate today pasaed the Lewis bill con
cerning quarterly statements from state and
savings banks, after amending It so as to
require among other firings a statement of

ment on the ground that It gave the na
tional hanks, which were required to make
no such statement, an advantage over tho
State and KM vinir tianlra Tf - tho r.ti. !
pose of Senator Lewis to make the state
ments of the state and savings banks as
nearly as possible like that of the national
banks, so that the two kinds of banks
would be on an equal footing. The debate
over the bill at times was quite warm. Sen
ator Lewis accused some of those defending
the amendment requiring a statement of
money loaned to the bank directors of be
ing Interested in national banks and desir
ous of getting the Information as to what
was being done in the state and savings
banks so that they could show to their
customers that the rival state and savings
bank wns loaning money to Its directors.
Senator Brooks arose to a question of per
sonal privilege and asked Lewis tfl name
the 'man that wanted to wreck the state
bank across the street. Lewis denied ac
cusing anyone of wanting to wreck a state
bank and then said he referred to Brooks.
The amendment was adopted, 25 to 19, and
the amended bill 37 to 5.
