SECRET OF JURY ROOM OUT
Real Story of Pat Crowe's Acquittal
is Finally Given.
Wry scored by the judge
Urst Ilt-mnrk Made by n .Inrjmnn
After Enteritis; the Itoom Ik
Said to llne Decided the
Case of Croire.
The real reason why the Jury which
leard the evidence atalnst Tut Crowe
h connection with the kidnaping ot lid- I
me Cudahy acquitted tho man. although I
jo doubt as to his gul.t existed, lias
Icon revealed In discussion In district j
lOUrt of the rnnntifiiltnti nf TVtll.n,.,o,
U Jackson's leg as the result of n
round Inflicted by Crowe In 1905.
Bight years after the trial court of
clals familiar with the case feel at
herty to tell "the Insldo story." They
I ay the jurors In the famous case ad
iltted that tho first remark made In
(he Jury room decided tho case.
"Mr. Edward Cudahy Is on trial in
Chicago for robbing the poor, and they
ro going to let him off. Pat Crowu
ire a better let him go!" was the rc
liark made by a Juror as soon as the
j loor of the room closed.
Mr. Cudahy. the packer, father of the
koy who was kidnaped, was then on
rial for criminal violation of tho antl
irust law. Class feeling had been
, fvorked up to a high pitch during the
two trials and tho Juror's statement
j lounded to' his fellows like logic. An
; Acquittal resulted.
' Judge A. Li. Sutton presided at the
Crowe trial. He severely criticized tho
tardlct. Tliat tho acquittal resulted from
tlnss feeling tins been well known, but
Iho secret of tho Jury room has been
kept until now.

Living in Omaha Too
High to Permit Navy
Recruit's Week Wait
Official, of the t'nltcd States navy,
failed to get n now rtcrult Tuesday
caiso the cost of living In Uniahn Is to
high. And that. nl?o, Is why the appli
cant said he couldn't wait to enlist.
C. 11. mlth from Utittr. Mont., canto
Into he recruiting office with murh of
tho atmosphere of the old tlmo "wild
west" clinging about his wide sombrero,
the scarlet handkerchief about his throat
nnd his hlgh-hrclcd boots. He wanted to
enlist ns a cook, but the navy rccrultliiK
officials wanted more proof. They told
the westerner ho would have to furnlHb
references ns to both his ability and his
character before he was accepted for
such a responsible position aboard a man-'o-war.
"That'll take nigh a week to get 'em,
won't 11?" ho Inquired rather anxiously.
The officer admitted that It would.
"Then I reckon as how I'll have to let
'er slide," answered the westerner. "Ye
see, the cost of Uvln' Is so gol dinged
high In this town, I cayn't hardly lay
here fer a week, though I've got plenty
of money. Now, only Inst night, I goes
Into a restaurant, and while I was eatln'

Thlrtco cents. Yes, sir, that's Jest what
he did. An' tho night afore that, another
feller charged mo 2G centR fer drinking a

Anti-Loan Shark
Law Declared to Be
Unconstitutional
Tho antl loan shark bill, known as the
Simon bill. Is unconstitutional, aqcordlng
to an opinion given by the supreme court
of Nebraska yesterday. The bill was fath
ered by Representative Edward Simon
of Douglas county and was passed In
the legislature last winter. When It went
Into effect, last July It soon began lo
have a telling effect on the loan shark
business In Omaha. Certain loan men
who had been doing a usurious business
soon went out of business In Omaha. A
number of them, it was said, who wished
to retain their Omaha trade, moved
across the river to Council Bluffs In or
der to continue their business under tho
moro lenient Iowa laws. Still others
closed up shop and went to Tpxas. Some,
of course, remained and continued to do
business, either In conformity to the new
law or In secret violation thereof.
