Kidnaper Spurred by Hope of Obtaining $2,000,000. His Accomplice in Venture Overcome by Fear at Last Moment BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 5. — "Pat" Crowe supplied another sensation to-day when he declared that out for the tears of Lib partner be would, have kidnaped John It. Kockefeiitr aad'TiSHTtnimT^T 1*"1 *" $^,«00,t»00 rinsom. Crowe expressed ccnsicerable regret that .he was unable to carry oat his bold scheme, as he declared that had he been successful he \u25a0would have been a million dollars bet ter off to-day aud .in . some foreign country instead of the Butte jaiL Crowe says the daring plot was hatched in Chicago after an investiga tion of Rockefeller's residence in Cleve land. When everything: was ready his partner got "cold feet." Captain of Detectives Henry Dunn and Cfiicer Henry Haitzend of Omaha, accompanied by several Omaha news paper men, reached Butte this after noon and identified Crowe. The recog nition was mutual. They will leave for Omaha on Saturday night, securing Governor Toole's signature' to their requisition to-morrow. Despite Crowe's assertion of his willingness to accom pany them without a requisition, Cap tain Dunn says he will take no chances w*4.h Crowe, who will be heavily manacled en route to Omaha. , Curious crowds filled the Jail to-day, anxious to see Crowe. Photographs of Crowe were published this morning and had the effect of bringing out a num ber of women, many of them carrying fruit and bouquets to the prisoner. "If my partner had not got 'cold feet." said Crowe, in his confession, "we would have made two millions out cf the deal soon after that dirty trick. I had planned to kidnap old Rockefeller and get the son to give me $2,000,000 as a ransom. •*It was immediately after the Cudahy affair that my partner and I — never mind his name — were lying low in Chi cago, laughing at the excitement over the Cudahy kidnaping. 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 b:g L-tmch rrom the* boy. ""Well, we got down there, went out to his place at Forest Hill, six miles east of Cleveland, and sized up the place. It was dead easy. The old man was there. It is a quiet, country place. It was a snap, I tell you. We planned to hold up the watchmen, gag them and get into the house at night. ~We had a plan of the entire place. - We fixed it to hustle the old mac into a rig and make the young fellow dig up. -You bet he would have come there so fast it would make your head swim. ; "TVe fixed the thing for a Wednesday night. At abcut 6 o'clock my partner paid he was not' feeling well and he asked me to put it off till the next -night. Well, I put it off and at* noon the next day. Thursday, he broke down 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 about the Cudahy affair, so I lit out / for New York and from there to South Africa, and that was all there was , to it. "Rockefeller is holding -up the world and petting his ransom, too," he added. •\u25a0Why shouldn't I make him come across if I have the chance? 'Tm not the originator of the ransom 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 eend old Brutus and seme of his general? over to Carthage; grab one of the big kings in that coun try and make, them put up several mil lions before they gave him back. His tory is full of the came. They call it kidnaping nowadays; 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., l would have made John D. Jr. give me two. or even three millions, " if I wanted it. if 1 once had the money, don't ' you ..worry that' l would, ever be pinched for it ' The Kockefellers ; would not miss it and I would not be jumping sideways for a meal :to-day. \u25a0 "Maybe," concluded Crowe with a sick ly •mile, "I'll set Rocky yet' The San Francisco Call.
