CHICAGo'S HAIR CLIPPER.
Peculiar Mania of JOrgenson Ex-
planned to the Police.

Eyes, I'm the clipper. There's many a
schoolgirl without her tresses because of my
uncomfortable mania. I've been at it four
years and have shipped off hundreds of
braids, yet l can remember little about spe-
cial instances
Thus spoke John w. Jorgenson as he stood
in Captain Colleran's office at the central po-
lice station, Chicago, reports the News. Out,
side in the general Office Mrs. Jorgenson the
wife of a few months, shocked at the news
of her husbands arrest, yet bearing up
bravely, protested in voice she strove to
control that John" was not guilty. There
was no reason for him to commit such n
crime, she said, and she had never found
either hair or scissors in his pockets.
Separated from her by the heavy door of
the chief of detectives room, the prisoner,
an athletic looking fellow of refined appear
ance, with a struggling moustache and the
color ebbing and flowing In his dark cheeks,
continued to pour out his confession, SEEM
ingly glad to rid his breast of a burden
which, he said, had caused him paroXysms
of anguish and remorse.
Many girls called during the day and
among those identifying the prisoner as the
despoiler of what is sometimes said to be
womans crowning beauty were Ella Tut
hill, 5466 Monroe avenue; Minnie Bush 1496
West Congress street; Milda Chamberlain.
41SS North Ashland avenue, and Charlotte
Bauer 7i4 Irving Park boulevard.
The clipper" looked at them all without
a word. Then he said:
Il began clipping hair four years ago after
a spell of sickness. 1t seemed as If l couldn't
see luxuriant braid of hair without a de-
sire to possess 1t coming over me. The pas
sion was usually very great yet IL l saw
that ! was in immediate danger of detection
I could stop.
after one of my expeditions with my scis-
sors it might be day or 1t might be one or
two weeks before l would start out again,
but start I would despite resolutions to the
contrary made in moments of anguish and
remorse Il
II had often thought of seeing a ply
sican about what seemed to me a mania
that was unconquerable, but of course my
afliction was not known to me till after I
had committed my first crime and then
was afraid that If I confided in a doctor l
would be turned over to the officers.
Last July l married Marian Turpington
New York girl l loved her, but never !
would have taken her to be my wife had she |
possessed an abundance of hair. should, |
felt have shipped it from her head in .
some insane moment and then she would |
know my unfortunate secret. Her hair, how.
ever, was too short to tempt me.
1T has grown since then down over her
shoulders, but whenever ! caught myself
looking at it with too much longing-wel,
went out again to lurk around some school
or brush around in the crowd of some de-
partment store"
The police are delighted over the arrest
of Jorgenson, for there is scarcely a pre-
cinct in the city which has not had its ex-
perience in looking up cases of hair clip
ping. It is estimated that the complaints on
this score will average half dozen for each
precinct and there are in all forty-t two.
