WITHIN the last month four Detroit
girls have at different places had their
hair stolen on the street by miscreant
who seems to be an adept in the busi-
ness, and who has earned the name Of
slack the Hair-cuttcr." In each case
the victim has been possessed Of beauti-
full black hair, all other cOlOrs seeming
to have no attraction for the strange
thief. The last victim was pretty Fan
ME O'Leary, who has a beautiful head
of black hair which reached to her waist.
A man sprang out of an alley and caught
her by the throat, sitting her screams.
BY quick movement he drew her to his
breast, and she felt slight tug at her
hair. She could not scream nor move, so
close was the embrace. When the pull
ing ceased she was pushed rudely into
the gutter, and by the time she arose the
hair-cutter was gone.
