POLICE GET HOLD
OF MISS CAMPBELL
l. was She Who Got Much
Money From New Castle
Merchants

Elizabeth c. Campbell, actress and
concert singer. who hired a hall in New
Castle recently. advertised a concert,
collected much money in advance on
advertisements for her program and
then failed to produce the entertain
ment, has been arrested in West Ches-
ter on a charge of obtaining money
under false protences.
The last place of Miss Campbelfs
operation was Frankford, from whose
merchants she collected much money
on ads to appear in her concert pro-
gram. Then she announced that her
concert would be postponed until Au-
gust IA, and then left for parts un-
known.
1t was the postDonement that caused
Frankford shopkrepers to put their
heads together. After a conference il
was their unanimous opinion that
Miss Campbell had victimized them,
and detectives were consulted, with the
results that she was caught in West
Chester just as she was about to ad-
vertise another concert.
Miss Campbell is very indignant. She
says she is a Canadian of good family,
that she has been an actress and that
lately she has been giving entertain
ments. She also writes poetry, and
when arrested she tried a few verses
on the detectives. The result was not
encouraging TO her, so she gave it up.
The detectives declare the poetry did
not hurt them a bit, although it made
them a bit sleepy. They told her to
quit reciting and get ready to come to
Philadelphia and be locked up, which
she HID.
