JURY OUT FIFTEEN 'HOURS Notorious Pat Crowe, Charged ' Witb Kidnaping Young Son of Millionaire Cudahy for Ransom Five Years Ago, i:i Freed of Charge. OMAIU; Feb. 16. The jury in the trial of Pat Crowe, charged with the robbery of Edward A. Cudahy, the Oma ha packer, of $25,000 in connection witb the kidnaping of the latter son five years ago, this afternoon, after fifteen hours' deliberation, brought in a ver dict of not guilty. The kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy, De cember 19, 1900, and his release upon the payment by his father of $23,000 random created a great sensation, and the search for the kidnapers was stimu lated at the time by the offer of a re ward of $50,000 by XIr. Cudahy. ' It was the belief of authorities that Crowe and James Callahan were the guilty parties, but no trace of them could he found until about a year ago, when Callahan was arrested. He was identified by young Cudahy as one of his captors, but was released on trial, as it could not lie shown that he re- wived any of the money, and there was at that time no law making the kid naping of a person over 10 years of age a crime. Last October Crowe was arrested in Rutte, Xlont., and was put on trial Feb ruary 7. There was no eidence to posi tively identify Crowe as one of the kid naper. ,. Crowe was recently indicted in Coun cil Bluffs, with others, on a charge of holding up a street car. To Be Tried Again. COUNCIL ' BLUFFS. Feb. 16.
