on young girls by "a prominent Broad.
way comedian"
While Hitchcock was in his dressing
room Voecks called to see Hitchcock
Maurice Kirby, Hitchcock's former
manager, was in the dressing room
When the caller became insistent he
admitted him. Voecks called his at
tcntion to the stories in the papers and
said that unless he was given $1,000
at once he would expose Hitchcock.
Hitchcock said he did not have the
money with him, but gave him three
rings worth $500 as security and ar.
ranged to meet the man at 1 o'clock
the following day, redeem the rings
and give him $1,000.
Hitchcock consulted detectives and
with Kirby met Voecks at the hour
agreed on, rendering him a $1,000 bill,
demanding the rings in return. Voecks
did not have the rings with him and
refused the $1,000 bill. He demanded
$500 more, making $4,000 in all, and
insisted the amount be paid in small
bills.
Hitchcock made another appoint.
ment with Voecks. Two detectives
were hidden in his dressing room.
When Voecks appeared, Hitchcock
handed him $1,000 in small bills and
his personal note for $500 more.
Voecks still claimed he did not have
the rings. The detectives then stepped
out and arrested Voecks. He con-
fessed and declared that he was trying
to get the money to educate his young
sister. Weeks also confessed that
Thornberg had the actors ring and the
officers arrested Thornberg.

LOWe-., Nov 4.
Sheriff Jack White arrested Ben
Behrends of the Swim Saloon last
evening on a charge of embezzlement.
and he was brought before the grand
jury today. The charge is an Old one,
in fact it was dismissed in the local
court on October 1 on account of in
sufficient evidence. 1t was brought
out in the evidence that the complain
ant. Charles KemlitZ, had left $3.50 in
the hands of Behrends as a loan, and
that when he had made demand for
his money Behrends had refused TO
