Plans to Hold Up a Town

greater than his ability to earn ii at

go out and help himself at some other

he and movable vaiuables were IN the

of the land Voight decided that the
money most easily acquired would be

for the success of his plan. But he
got the money, and in getting it lifted
Koepenick from obscurity into world
wide fame. gave to universal language
new word and made all the nations
OF the earth enjoy a good laugh.
Voight began his preparations by
purchasing from a secondhand dealer
in Berlin the complete uniform of a
captain Of the First Guards Regiment.
Voight's physical bIemishes include
protruding ears, hollow cheeks, stopped
shoulders and a deformity of one leg.
To assume the attitude of a soldier
is with Voight physical in1possibility,
but he played the dashing captain just
the same.

His plan required the aid OF accom-
plices. These Voight borrowed from

great hoax had been perpetrated. A
brief investigation revealed the mo-

stupefaction. There was a revival un-

and every detective was detailed to find
and arrest the audacious rogue who
had used the magic OF the Kaiser s

voight's capture and Identification as

lowed.
Voight Is Hero
From the time when voights ex-
ploit first became known the bogus
captain has been a hero with the Ger
man public. and for the first time in
his criminal career he takes popular
sympathy with him to his prison cell.
Nobody appreciates the artistic merit
of his performance at Koepenick more
fully than does Voight himself. and
he accepts his punishment and the

the Captain then commanded the
treasurer: Make up the cash ac-
counts
He Robs the Treasury
Overawed by the magic uniform the
treasurer balanced his cash and handed
over the total. about 5000. to the sup
posed emissary of the Kaiser, who in
return handed to the legal custodian
of the coin a receipt and signed it
"v. Aloesan, c. +. G. r." meaning Won
Aloesan. Captain First Guards. Regi-
ment.'
Placing the money in his pocket the
shameless cobbler turned the treasurer
over to the police guard with orders
to take their prisoner TO Berlin.
This closely following the Mayors de-
parture cleared Koepenick OF soldiers
and police and left voight to make mis-
escape at leisure. He drove to the rail-
road station In a carriage comraan-
deered in the name of the Kaiser. He
left the train on the outskirts of Ber-
lin. He hired a cab in which he drove
across Berlin to the southern end OF
Friedrichstrasse, where he bought a
suit of civilian clothing. Re-entering
the cab he drove to another railway
station and in a deserted waiting-room
doffed the magic uniform for civilian
attire and walked forth to prepare for
the pursuit he knew must soon start.
