THE aiORNIXG- OJ&EGONIAN, FKIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1905. PLAN TO IIP J.D.RDGKEFELLER Pat CroWe Expected to Get Two Millions Ransom for the Oil King. PARTNER BECAME SCARED Elated' Over Success in the Cudahy Affair the Omaha 3Ian Jjookcd on Projected Venture as a Rich Jest. PAT CROWE IDENTIFIED. Captain of Detectives Henry Dunn and Officer Henry Haltsend, of Omaha, accompanied by several Omaha nowspapormen. reached Butte yesterday afternoon and positively Identified Tat Crowe. BUTTE, Mont, Oct- 5. (Special.) "It my partner had not got cold feet at the critical moment, we would nave sewed old John D. Rockefeller up In a bag and grabbed oft 52,000,000 In cold cash before we let him out," said Pat Crowe, in the jail today. In giving the details of a scheme hatched in Chicago to kidnap the Standard Oil magnate and hold him for heavy ransom. "I guess if we had pulled the thing 6ff on time and according to plans, it would have made the newspapers sit up and take notice." continued Crowe, who thinks It would have been a rare joke to make the son of Rockefeller pay back omo of the tribute his father has exacted of oil consumers. "It was immediately after the Cud ahy affair that my partner and I, never mind his name, were lying low in Chi cago, laugfting at the excitement over the Cudahy affair. It was so easy that I suggested we go after bigger game, and the result was that within a week we took the train to Cleveland to kidnap old Rockefeller and get the big bunch from the boy. Such a Snap It Was. "Well, we got down there, went out to his place at Forest Hill, six miles Oast of Cleveland, lind sized up the place. It was dead eisy. The old man was there. It Is a quiet country place; it was a snap, I tell you. "Well, to get down to business, we planned to hold up the watchman, got into the hduse at night we had a plan of the place. We fixed It up to hustle the old man into a rig and make the young fellow dig. You bet he would have come through so fast It would make your head swim. "We fixed the thing for Wednesday night. About 6 o'clock my partner said he was not feeling well, and he asked me to put it off until the next night. Well, I put It off, and at noon the next day, Thursday", he broke down and got cold feet and said he thought we were being watched right then. That settled it. I began to fear he -was going to give the whole snap away aboS;t the Cpdahy affair, so -t lit cut for New YorkAfrom there to Squth Africa, and that was -all there was to it "Rockefoller is holding up the world and getting his ransom, too," he add ed "Why should not I make him come across. If I have the chance? Kidnapers In History. "I'm not the originator of the ran som business. Did you ever read any Roman history? Caesar was the "boss kidnaper of the world. When he was running the world he used to send old Brutus and some of his generals over to Carthago, grab one of the big kings in that country, and make them put up several millions before they gave him back History Is full of the same. They call It kidnaping now-a-days; in those days it was statecraft "Rockefeller Is the oldest kid I ever had designs on, and If I only had a fellow with me" that would go the route I would have made John D. Jr. give me two or even threo millions, If I wanted it If I once had the money, don't you worry that I would ever bo pinched for It The Rockefellers wouldn't miss It, and I wouldn't be jumping sideways for a meal today. "Maybe," continued Crowe, with a sickly smile; 'Til get old Rocky yet" Donahue Sends Personal Reward. OMAHA, Nob., Oct 5. Chief of Po lice Donahue today sent a check for $200 to Butte, Mont, to cover the re ward offered by the Chief personally for the capture of Pat Crowe. The chock was sent to Captain Dunn, of the Omaha detective force, to be turned over to the officers at Butte who placed Crowe under arrest Chief Donahue expressed gratifica tion at Crowe being taken into cus tody, and said that extra precautions would be . taken to forestall any at tempt Crowe might make to escape. He will be brought back handcuffed to two detectives. PACKERS TO PLEAD MONDAY XOT GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY AXD RESTRAINING TRADE. Will Demur to All Other Counts, but Are Ready to Stand Trial on Two. CHICAGO, Oct 5. The packers, whose recent attempt to abate the in dictment found against them charging conspiracy to monopolize the meat In dustry of the country ended In failure, will on Monday next enter pleas of not guilty before Judge Humphrey. To all other counts in the indictment against them demurrers will be filed tomorrow morning.

The demurrers for the five in dicted corporations will be filed sep arately, and the officials will demur as a unit Men who have been Indicted as agerfts will in each case file separate demurrers. All of the processes are similar, setting up the same facts.
