ment, gave the sheriff the receipt. A
warrant was Immediately issued for
Helms and he was arrested late last
evening. When he was taken to police
station and searched $45 in bills was
found pinned in a vest pocket, and in
his trousers leg were found two fraud
ulent warrants.
Sheriff Cook presented the receipt be-
fore him and asked: Did you make
this out?''
Helms was pale and trembling. He
said: Yes, did it,
What made you do it?" asked the
sheriff.
20, my God, don't know. It is a
terrible thing. I am guilty"
Helms was taken to the county jail.
He told Sheriff Cook that there was
who was not connected with the
sheriff's office, but he refused to tell
his name. He said: II will die before
I will tell his name"
Today Helms was taken before JUS
tice McClintock where his hearing was
set for Saturday morning at o'clock.
The charge against him is obtaining
money under false pretenses. Under
the law this offense is considered the
same as larceny. In this case, it being
over $40, the penalty in case of con-
viction will be for grand larceny. JUS

talk of his waving preliminary hear
ing.
He declared last evening after being
arrested that he would commit suicide
before he would go to the penitentiary.
He said: 1.-THE coroner will hold an
inquest over me before I will be taken
to the penitentiary."
The first information gained about
the proposed extortion was obtained
by Patrolman Hendricks. One of the
women in Smoky Row informed him
that Helms was representing to the
denizens of the Row that Sheriff Cook
had ordered them all to leave the city
and had warrants issued for them.
He demanded, they claim, $50 from
each of them. May DeFoy, Jennie
ed anu they claim that they paid him
money and promised him more.
Sheriff Cook and the police yesterday
worked on the case and it was decided
to set the trap for Helms. The KnoweI
woman postponed Helms visit until
last evening and admitted the officers.
Sheriff Cook is very much chagrined
over the affair He had given no such
orders to Helms and he naturally is
very indignant over it. He said today:
1T was perfectly surprised to ind TINS
out We went there and he came in
and took the money. l know he made
out this receipt, for he admitted having
done so to me, and anyway there is

yesterday on the case and I found sew

He claims that he was collecting the
money to drive out the disreputable
women and to have money to prose-
cute jointists with. That isn't right. He
didn't have to get money that way.

him in this. He may have lied about
