Omaha Council Sets 25000 Reward for Cudahy Abductors
Omaha January 2 a special city council meeting unanimously adopts concurrent resolutions offering a 25000 reward for the apprehension and conviction of the abductors of Edward Cudahy hauled from his street December 14. The council also withdraws the 15000 reward offer for the capture of the criminal. The move aims to relieve the Cudahy family from fear and to ease police and detectives of the strain of the pursuit. The action is commended by citizens though Mayor Moore’s desire to reduce Mr Cudahy’s burden complicates the rewards.
