Then the disreputable old jailbird,
seized all the money he could lay his
hands on in the municipal treasure
chest-only $1,000-and sent the bur
gomaster, Dr. Langerha2s, a prisoner
to Berlin, under an armed guard.
The chief of the Koepenick police
took orders from Voigt without ques.
tion. The uniform hypnotlzed him as
1t did everybody else. By Voigts direc-
tions, he placed squad of police
around the towa hall to keep the
crowd back, and as proof of his zeal
actually arrested FIVE citizens whose

Special Correspondence
Berlin, Nov. 17.-Though criminal
as the author of the greatest hoax of
the age, Wilhelm Voight is acclaimed
hero throughout Germany. He holds
the stage as the champion buffer.
Voight made the whole civilized
world laugh; he conferred immortal
ity on the town where he pulled OFF his
exploit; he added new verb to the
dictionary-to koepenich-and he
held up to ridicule in most ludicrous
manner the German system of mli-
tary tin-goddery, which has grown out
of the kaiser's preference for the
army.
A cobbler. an ex-convict, 81 years
old, Voight is a coarse featured, stoop
shouldered specimen. His teeth are
decayed; his hands are horny and
knotted; his ears are large and stick
out straight.
Low class" is writ large all over
him, but in spite of 1t all, with the aid
of wornout secondhand uniform of
German army captain, he bluffed his
way to the command of a little de-
tachment of military guards and with
them at his heels, proceeded to the
town of Koepenick, where he arrested
the mayor and city treasurer, and
! with the police, citizens and civil Off
GERS kotowing before him, sent his
prisoners to Berlin, uader guard

funds in the public treasury.
Only few months ago, Voight was
released from a term of fifteen years
penal servitude. Because of the sys
TEN of police supervision and persecu

est living, and so he planned his great
bluff, in the hope that he would obtain
enough money to keep him in luxury
tthe rest of his life.
After the idea Of the coup had come
to him, Voight frequented music halls
and other places where military off
