(From yesterdays Examiner)
The police authorities of every town
on the Union. Pacific from Omaha to
Chicago are looking for the bogus
Baron Won Turkheim. The Chief Of
Police of Oakland has telegraphed de-
scriptions of the bigamist to the East
ern cities with the request that he be
arrested and held until an officer is
sent to fetch him back to California.
Chief Lloyd said yesterday that he
would do his utmost to capture Won
Arnold, and would communicate with
the authorities of every place that he
might visit
1t now appears that the delay of the
Oakland police was caused by a mis-
understanding between Chief Lloyd and
Attorney Hutton. After Hutton had
caused the issuance of the warrant
for bigamy the Chief expected the law
yer to call on him and give a descrip-
ton of Won Turkheim. Hutton and
Lucas, however, did not know that the
Chief was waiting and returned to the
city without seeing him. On Wednes-'
day Chief Lloyd consulted Chief Lees
about the case. Hutton then visited
Oakland again, the misunderstanding
was explained and the Eastern police
were notified.
Chief Lloyd feels aggrieved because
Mr.. Hutton criticized the delay of the
police in proceeding against Won Ar
mold. Lloyd said yesterday that he
was using and would continue to use
every effort to capture Won Arnold and
return him to Oakland or San Fran
cisco Before the requests for his ar
rest We're sent East the bogus Baron
had escaped from the train, which he
left before reaching Omaha, and is now
doubtless hurrying to Canada to rejoin
Stilwell and the Baroness" 1t is
thought by the authorities that Mrs.
Richardson and Little Del' will also
join Won Arnold in Ontario. The bogus
Baron and Baroness can sail from
Baroness was in Detroit last night.
The statement made by Detective
Stilwell that the Baroness" was anx-
ious to leave this country SO as to
prevent the possibility of being called
as a witness by the Fair heirs occa
stoned some surprise here. 1t was ru
mCred before her departure and while
she was negotiating for a reconcilia
ton with D. M. Delmas, that she had
threatened to make some exposure in
the Craven case. Not much attention,
however, was given to this statement,
for Mr. Delmas is known to be a eau
tiouS man. and il was not thought that
he had allowed the secrets of his office
to escape.
D. NJ. Delmas absolutely refuses to
make any statement about the bogus
Baron and his wife.
George A. Knight made a statement
at Omaha last night in reference to the
threatened exposure Of some of the de-
tails of the Craven case by the Baron
ess Won Turkheim. Mr.. knight and
Charles Fair are travelling toward this
city. They saw the Baroness and
Detective Stlwell in Chicago just be-
fore the deceived woman was hurried
off to Ontario.
Before l left San Francisco I heard
rumors that the Baroness Turkheim
threatened an exposure of Mrs. Cra-
ven's contest on information that she
had obtained from DelmaS Yesterday
the Baroness was at the Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago. closely guarded by
Stilwell and two detectives that stood
constantly at her door. Upon our ar
rival she suddenly left 1 don't think
she has seen a paper, and I do not be-
lieve she knows that she has been
duped by a bogus Baron. Stilwells s
manner was very nervous and he was
greatly excited. He was with her all
the time The Baron is not with the
party and the woman is evidently very
badly deceived. She will be landed in
Europe and left penniless.''
The statement Stilwell made in Chi
cago that Won Arnold was not In his
employ does not agree with statements
made by the detective agents in this
city. Mrs. Emma Won Arnold, the first
wife of the bogus Baron, called twice
at Stilwell's agency on Friday, the day
before the marriage and departure of
Won Turkheim." and asked for her
husband. On both occasions she was
told he was not in, but would return
in a few hours. Up to the hour of his
departure for the East, therefore. Won
Arnold was engaged with Stilwell, who,
in turn, was in the confidence of D.
NJ Delmas
When Won Arnold and his bride went
East Stilwell travelled on the same
train, but In second-class carriage.
When the Baron" disappeared, how
ever, his superior officer Immediately
took charge of the Baroness and her
party.
The Mat Pinkerton Of Chicago, who
warned Stilwell that warrant had
been issued for Won Arnolds arrest, is
not a member of the famous family of
detectives of that name. Mat Pinker-
ton does private detective business
