ONE SUSPECT RELEASED

EDWARIJ JOIIXSOX DID OT AID IN KIDXAPIXG YUlG CI ÜAI1Y. Relented After Deine Confronted with the Hoy lint Two Men Implicated in the Abduction. OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 23. There was a decisive development in the Cudahy kidnaping case on Sunday, although the disclosure is negative in kind. It has been learned that there were two bandits, not three, Implicated In the abduction. Edward Johnson, the dark-complexlonod man with the black mustache and black hair, tinged with gray, so minutely described by Miss Maud Munshaw, was in the office of Chief Donahue this afternoon and was there confronted by Eddie Cudahy, his supposed victim. After carefully scrutinizing the man, the boy said: "That Is not the man. He Is not tall enough by an Inch and a half and he is not broad enough. He's too small In even' wa." Johnson Is a laborer in the Cudahy packing plant. He admitted having gone out to the Grov-er-street house thrie times for the purpose of renting the building, which he found already let to the "light" man and his accomplice, Johnson was easily able to prove that he had nothing to do with tho case and was released. There is still a dark-complexioned man In the case, but he is larger than Johnson and vouneer. Otherwise he is very much like Johnson, having a black moustache and .hair elitrhtlv mixed with gray. if the police have any idea who this man is they will not admit it. So far as they know he was seen only by Eddie Cudahy. The other bandit was the llght-complex-loned man with the brown hair and long. light mustache, slight of build, and whose age Is said to be somewhere between thirtv and thlrtv-five years. This man is described by three persons besides the kid naped boy B. K. Munshaw, James Schneiderwind and Frank Glynn. He is the man who called at the Schneiderwind home to engage the cottage at Thirty-sixth and Grover streets, and who called up the Cudahy mansion from Glynn's livery stable to give notice of the letter's being in the front yard. The police are satisfied that they know this man and if he is the person they think he is he will probably be in custody within the next ten days. E. A. Cudahy, sr., still thinks that if Pat Crowe was not one of the men who kidnaned his son he will lose no time in telling him so. Reports were in circulation here to-night that one of the kidnapers of young Cudahy was under arrest at ort uocge, ia. 00 far as can be definitely learned this report had Its origin in the fact that an Armenian named Albie, who had a considerable sum of gold In his possession, was taken from an Illinois Central train at Fort Dodge on Wednesday night. It is said, however, that the man had met with an Injury on the train and that he was taken to a hospital in Fort Dodge. He attracted attention in the hospital from the fact that ho carried so much Kold. It is stated, however, that he left Omaha some hours before Mr. Cudahy turned over the ransom. MHBBBBMBSBBMRMHSBBBMBSiHMN ITALY'S D0WAGEE QUEEN. MnrRherlta to Devote Her Fortune to Chnrlty and Life to Art. PARIS, Dec. 23. It Is said that former Queen Margherita of Italy, King Humbert's widow, has decided to live in Rome and devote half of her fortune t& charity, the remainder being spent In the intellectual culture and artistic development of her country. She has bought the magnificent Piombino palace, with the adjacent three pavilions and villa. She hopes to make the palace a veritable center of artistic and literary life, and to make Rome the homo of another renaissance. It is pretty well known that Queen Mar gherita is a woman of the finest culture. and is passionately devoted to literature, music and fine arts. She has written poetry. has composed a good deal of music and has a collection 01 paintings irom ner uwn brush. Her present ambition is to devote her time and money to the intellectual cul ture and the artistic development of her own country. To this work she nas an nounced that she will devote nair ner rortune, the other half being set aside for charity. She is not very rich, but received under King Humbert's will about T2.000.000, and the state makes her a Queen dowager's allowance of $200.000 a year. She has already specifically set apart 1140,000 a year to assist and reward young workers in literature and science and art. Recently she personally consulted with a number of representative Italians, Including such composers as Mascagnl, Puccini, concavallo, Giordano and Boito, with the poets Canducci, D Annunslo, Pascoll, the novel ists Verga, Fogazzaro and the artists Morelll, Montevcrde and Xlmenes.

Kentucky More I)r' thnn People Have Supposed. 3Inny FULTON'. Ky.. Dec. 23. It may startle some people who think the name of Kentucky synonymous with whisky to know that three-fourths of the State Is -dry." Th!rty of Kentucky's counties are entirely "dry." as many more are "wet" in one spot, or to be more exact, liquor Is retailed only at tne county seat. All but five are "dry" In 1 spots; that Is. there are no retail liquor stores In certain voting precincts. The five entirely "wet" counties are located mainly on the slopes of Mlldraugh's hill, where peach orchards and small licenced brandy distilleries are numerous. Most of the entirely "dry" counties are located In the mountain districts of eastern Kentucky. Of course. Illicit distilling and blind tigers thrive in all or nearly all of the local option counties. There are only four places where liquor is sold openly anil leeally In the Seventh apptdlate district, which is composed of twenty-one big counties in the Ninth. Tenth and Eleventh congressional districts. In other words, the prohibition area in Kentucky overshadows the "wet" spots in the proportion of ninetenths to one-tenth.

His condition this morning seemed more favorable, but to-night it took a turn for the worse and he began to sink. He has constantly reiterated the hope that he would die, declaring he did not care to live. To-day many came to see the wounded man, but the latter was particularly anx ious that none of his friends should talk to the newspapers about what he told them and he even took the precaution to tear up their visiting cards so that their identity might not be learned. McDonald has many friends in this city who think tnat nis mina was unsettled at the time of the shooting. An autonsv was performed on the body I 'of Mr. Morris to-day and showed that three of the five bullets had struck him. The body will be taken from here to-morrow evening to Cleveland. O. The Interment will be in Lakevlew Cemetery.

Mr. Grosvenor received his dis charge papers half an hour after the kill ing of Mr. Morris. They were conveyeü to him from the ofiico of Secretary Gage, the discharge taking effect at once.

ECHOES OF THE SIEGE

PEKING EXPERIENCES OF . MRS. PAY EX. GAMEWELL ANI MISS Courage Shown by the Women lit Dire Peril The Three Awful XlRUt" Women Help In the Defense. New York Sun. "There was no place in the compound." said Mrs. Gamewell, "where we were safe from bullets. They richocheted everywhere. All that saved us from being hit was the sandbag and other fortifications the men built. Making the sandbags was the occupation of the women. "We made thousands upon thousands of them. We made them of everything, towels, bedclothing, sheets, pillow cases, our own clothing even. They were plied up about the verandas and before the windows of the houses and on the roofs as well. Thousands of them were used on the walls also." The rattle of the firing," said Mrs. Payen, "was continuous. It was estimated there were two shots a second, that Is 120 a minute. Then there were repeatea vol leys poured" into us. This was all from the rifles, I mean. Besides all this there was the cannon firing at us also. There were, of course, lulls, when the firing dwindled down to occasional shots, and it Is a curious thing that we were all more nervous in these intervals of comparative quiet than when the full rattle of the fusillade was on. This nervousness on these "occasions was not confined to the women, either. Even the soldiers felt it. It came frcm the apprehension, I suppose, of some new form of attack that the Chinese might be planning against us. We were all much more at ease when the firing was go ing on. "The bullets, though, were Hying every where. You could hear them. I heard them close by me frequently. I thought one of them had taken my ear on, it passed so eioe to the side of my head as I stood talking to a lady one day. And Mrs. Gamewell was walking not two steps in front of a marine who was shot down and badly wounded. The shells came into the Interpreters' house and tore it to pieces. One shell went into a room and struck an iron bedstead, twisting It into all kinds of shapes. The interpreters house was so badly demolished that its walls were dangerous, and Mr. Gamewell had them torn down. "Of course, besides the constant danger there was the great physical discomfort. Six of us women slept on the fioor of one room, and In other places the crowding was very much greater. And then there were the files. I never dreamed it possible there could be such a torment of files. How we slept or when we slept I hardly know. And as to keeping up, we knew we must keep up. The men were worn out and distracted with the constant work and anxiety. If to all that there had been a lot of collapsed, useless women on their hands they could hardly have borne up under lt. I am afraid. No, we were not made. of such poor stuff a3 to break down. We kept our anxiety out of our faces all we could. And then we had work to do constantly. There were the thousands and thousands of sandbags to be made. We made them and some of us turned In and helped fill them as wll. THREE MEMORABLE NIGHTS. "ihere were three nights we always spoke of as the 'three awful nights. The first of these was the night after the great gate was burned.- The second was in the middle of the stage and the third was the night before the allied forces entered the city. It was on the night of June 17 that the great gate was burned. The Chinaj 1 . men aiu noi mean to do that. The gate caught from the fire they started in Watson s drug store. Chemicals exploded and the fire spread all through the rlrhect t ing parts of the city. It was estimated that it destroyed x3y.0uo.00o worth of property, anu u 100K tne great gate as well. The gate made a beautiful fire. The Fight of me names pouring tnrougn the many winuows 01 me structure was very fine. It was a gooa ining, the burninir of th potP It stopped the firing for that night for one thing and then the Chinamen themselves were so horrified at what they had done that they stopped firing buildings for a ume. "It was the night following this that wo cawea mo nrst awful night. That night me uoxer siorm about us nearly broke loose, we were sitting In the legation in iuin6, wjuig uur uesi xo Keep our spirits up, wnen we began to hear a pecul iiyise. j. ne isoxers had snrroimrtefl the walls, and they were simri ner nr chant ing or shouting something, some horrible noise mat was nair growl, half howl. We could not tell what they were saying but we saw the men look at one another,' and afterward they told us what it was the Chinese were shouting. Over and over and over again they cried it; the noise seemed to come in rushes of sound. It seemed like one great tidal wave, or rather a ui nuai waves or sound pouring u,tl tu i wan. At times it died away to silence, and just as we were hoping -it had gone for good and that we would hear it no more then It would start and swell out louder and louder and then die away again. It had a certain inysiery aDOUl u tnat was alarming nrf very trying to the nerves. les, ' said Mr. Gamewell, who had been iisirmus cioseiy io wnat Allss Payen was relating, "there Is something awful about thft human :nlfn i . u ; .c umts. na as we heard it then when, perhaps. löO.OOO people vxaiaiiijiife U1U.L ominous cry "And what was it that the voices said?" Mr. Gamewell was asked. " 'Kill all the foreigners;' 'kill all the foreign devils, that was what was said It was mc iiuai culmination of the steadily runing uuier excitement. The air had "cvu",c, i."iBeu wun a certain sort of wjrpuouw quuuiy wnicn niied all those peo pie s minus wun tne same Idea. We were only separated then by a thin wall from that raging sea of passion thnt va ing our lives. That it did not Kweep'over us and submerge, us is little short Of a miracle. Yet the Chinese never quite could summon desperation enough to rush upon us. They knew that it would Involve the sacrifice of three or four hundred of their lives and that was a sacrifice they were ui wuuiiH n matte. 7AnÄ about tne SCC"1 awful night7" Miss Payen was asked. THE BOXERS' THREATS. "That was about the last week in July rtpueu. ir.e boxers began a furious attack that night, and we thought every moment tne legation would be entered They fired at Intervals that night. There uuiu ue federal minutes of continuous firing and then there would be complete si lence, which was worse than the firing, because we did not know what they were doing. To make it all the worse, there came a furious storm. It was the hardest storm we had while I was there. It was an electrical storm with really terrible crasnes oi tnunuer at snort intervals. Between ine siorm ana tne nring wo could make one .another hear only by screaming at .ir.e iops 'i our voices, l nis awful din continueu witnout interruption until mid night, ana m tne midst or it ail we exnrrt. ed every moment to have the Boxers upon us. Soon after midnight, however, the storm broke ana tne worst of it was nvr And at about the same time the Chlnpe suddenly ceased firing as one man, or as though they were ordere! by one man "And did they have a leader, or did thev move like a mob?" Mr. Gamewell was asked. "They did not move as a mob," he replied. "There certainly was some head or hearts directing tnem. r or Inseance, at uiKiii -tiv Msi'Ji utHiu uring Upon US was regularly given. It consisted of two rockets sent up one arter the other from wie v.uui. im- Mfeii ii iu cease iiring was i' I?o given in tne same way. It was one rocket sent up UKewise rrom the wall. And then the regular Imperial soldiers weie timong the Boxers, with the emblems des ignating the command to which they k U.nged emblazoned upon Xhelr breasts. There was no attempt to disguise this. Of course, we put no faith in any of the state ments of the Tsung 11 amen." . . m . - .1.1 . . . . mere is one nuns u may Know p.s a fact In fleamrg with the Chinese," here spoke up iin. Gameweii, "and that Is that when he tells you something that particu lar tning is r.oi true, w natevt-r cj.o msv be true, the thing that he tells you Is true Is not trpe. ion have that fact at least for a starting point." "And as to LI Ilun- Chang." said Mr. Gamewell, "that applies to him as well a

tc the others. The last thing that was said

to me on leaving China was to Impress upon our people In this country the utter insincerity of Li Hung CUang." Here MIs Payen came back into tn conversation with the story of the third find list of what the beleaguered garrison called and alv.'ays will call the awful nights. THEY THOUGHT OF LUCKNOW. It was the worst of all." she said, "the last of the three awful nights. We knew that the end must be near, and it was hard to hope on with no smallest encouragement. There was the same terrible noise and we were weak and exhausted from poor food and loss of sleep. It was the longest night I ever knew. But nobody broke down. Mrs. Conger, Mrs. Woodward and Mrs. Squlers were everywhere, doing everything for the sick and the children, though the children slept through pretty nearly everything. How we got through that night I hardly know, but dawn came at last the dawn of Aug. 14. That is a date we none of us are very likely to forget, for on that day the soldiers came and the end of our ordeal came with them. Almost as soon as it was light we heard that the troops were aporoachlne and by 6 o'clock they were in plain sieht. It was" something like the siege of Lucknow." les," said Mr. Game well, "several times the similarity of our position to the English people besieged in Lucknow during the In dian mutiny was mentioned, and some of the curious ones got out books In the Rrltisb legation library and read about Lucknow, although I assure you we had little leisure for literary pursuits." "it was 2 o clock in the afternoon." con tinued Miss Payen, "when the troops came in. It was hard to tell which were the happier, we, that it was all over at last, or the soldiers at finding us alive and looking as well as we did. They had heard the tiring all night and they had not hoped to find one of us alive. Really, the soldiers looked worse than we did. They had been marching hard and it was warm and damp and they were all worn out. So we cave them a lawn party. That's what they called it. e were all about the yard when somebody said tea. Mrs. Conger went to have the water put on, and we brought out what cups there were and bowls and whatever we could find and from 3 o'clock in the aftcrnodn until 7 in the evening we made the soldiers tea. As to how we women kent ourselves ud. well, as Mrs. Gamewell has said, there was plenty to do. Six of us women alone made 3,0) sandbags. Many of them were of beautiful silks which the soldiers brought lr. from the shops that were burned. They were about four feet lone bv two feet wide, these sandbags. And then there were the sick and wounded to be cared for and the children to be looked after. Everv afternoon through the whole siege we had lea, ana it there wasn't anv tea we rot together anyway. The women always tried to make some little change in their dress. This usually meant that we put on a clean shirtwaist Just clean, not Ironed. We had tnmgs washed, but nothing ironed. So we would wear our clean, crumpled shirtwaists and come to tea. We all felt that this was one way to keep ourselves up, so long as we aia not neglect these little things I found that we ourselves and the men felt the influence. THEY SANG HYMNS. "We felt the confinement, of course, and sometimes in spite of the flying bullets we would go out. This usually was in the early evening. We would go over to the foot of the bell tower and stand about and walk. Sometimes we would be there as long as half an hour nndUtnrhAd oml then on a sudden there would come a volley of shots, and we would scurry away to coyer. Sometimes we had a little music. The missionaries would sit together nnrt sing hymns and we would Join in "with them. There was a Russian ouartrt mnrf up of men from the Russian legation, and they sang beautifully. as to provisions we did not suffer so very much. When the Chinese deserted the stores around the compound the sol diers took whatever there was in them in the shape of food rice and wheat and canned stuff. We had coarse brown hrpn.i for ourselves, reserving the white bread for the wounded and the sick, it has been denied that we ate horse meat, but we did eat it, and mule meat, too. Mule meat is tne best, and horse meat is not bad. It tastes a little like venison, only sweeter i think they killed about forty horses and mules for food. We had no vegetables, but two members of the Tsung-Li-Yamen, wuu were inenuiy 10 us, and . aiterward were murdered by the Boxers, sent n watermelons." Which I took very eood care not tn eat," here Interrupted Mr. Gamewell. tor rear of being poisoned?" h t asked. "Certainly," replied Mr. Gamewell. "T would not trust them for a moment or rut poisoning us beyond them." But I ate of the melons." continual Miss Payen. "and they were good. Beside melons they sent cucumbers and egg plant iwice. xney sent nour, too, but that we would not accept because we feared It might be poisoned. These gifts wer all we had to eat save the rice and the canned stuff and the mule and the horse meat. We naa eignt cnnaren in our house, and I put in a good deal of time taking care of them, teüir them stories and amusing them as we" as 1 could. The poor little things had u na i ii ume oi it, snui up as tney were But they were amazingly good. I did not hear of a single quarrel among them. One ol their favorite games was to play at being besieged by Boxers. They took tum at being Boxers and holding the fort." air. Gamewell was asked if it were true that the Tsung 11 Yamen sent word once during the height of the siege to ask the ministers if they were pretty comfortable. "Yes, it 13 true," he replied, "and that Is not the only message of the sort they sent. The Duke of Edinburgh. I believe It was, died while we were beleaguered, and the Tsung 11 Yamen sent around to Sir Claude MacDonald. the British minister, an effusive note of condolence over the fact. Sir Claude replied that while their sympathy over the death of a man on the other side of the world was very touching, and while he shared in their grief at the demise of his Grace the duke, he at the same time begged to call their attention to tho fact that his own life and the lives of a number of other diplomatic representatives of for eign nations were In momentary peril right in tne neart or Peking, and he suggested that a. little practical assistance in that critical emergency would be a little jnore to the point than expressions of academical grief over the death of somebody In Great Britain."
