The police Of the West Forty-seventh
street station thought for . time yester-
day that they had In custody George A.
Witzhoff, the dentist who 10 sought by sev-
eral women who ny they have been mar
ried to him.
Arthur Ruhl, . youth who lives at sea
Prospect avenue, Brooklyn, was walking
up Fifth avenue about noon, when no
espied q man with . swarthy complexion
walking down the avenue. The Brooklyn
youth thought the swarthy man resembled
the picture Of Witshoff that has appeared
in the newspapers. Ruhl had been reading
about Sherlock Holmes. Old Sleuth and
other famous fiction Detectives until he
ina gined that he possessed the sleuthing
abilities OF the collection.
Ruhl took good look at tho face OF the
man, and then followed him 10 Sixth avenue
and Nfty-fowth street, whore he called
upon Policeman O'SulHvan to arrest him.
O'Sullivan IL an obliginG cop. and he made
the arrest. The youth ert along.
The sergeant at the station was Just as
obliging as the COP.

asked.

am arrested7' the prisoner asked.
Amt you Witzhoff'' demanded the
sergeant.
Il don't know the name you speak,
replied the prisoner. he added that he
was % years old, was born In Egypt and had
been employed as a checker at the Hotel
Aston up to few days ago. He was COM
ing from the hotel when arrested. He said
be lived at 1856 West Twenty sixth street.
The sergeant then woke up. He began
to think that q mistake had been made.
He sent for lawyer Benjamin franklin,
who represents soma Of tho women who
say that they married Witshoh. The lawyer
and oneof his clients went to the station ::
The woman said she was Dora Weston OF
.That's not Witzhotl," she said, after
glance at the prisoner. Tho sergeant
discharged Forillo with an apology. The
amateur detective tried to express his
regrets. but the Egyptian turned mis- back.
He told the woman. however, that he had
no hard feelings against her and no ex-
pressed the hope that she would catch
the right man.
ORANGE, N. j., Aug. 2o.-WitzhoH lived
in Orange about Ave years ago. He was
then employed az a chemist at Thomas A.
Edison's laboratory. The woman with
whom he boarded didn't know he WAS
married.
