WinsOme Brunette Acts as
Thieves Partner

A plan to rob the residence of Dr. A.
H. voorhies, 2111 California street, in
which petite brunette played the
principal role. was frustrated by the
police, who got wind of the plot and
succeeded in arresting the three men
implicated, but the girl escaped. The
men were Jake Weinberg, oliver CLAM
and Charles Gray. Gray made a con-
fession to the police and yesterday
swore to a complaint before Police
Judge Cabaniss charging Weinberg and
CLAM with conspiracy, on which charge
they were booked at the city prison.
According to Gray. CLAM consorted
with Alice Wolff, 20 years of age, who
sought service as domestic to enable
them to rob residences with ease and
dispatch. About three weeks ago she
got employment at the home of DR..
Voorhies. having served week or two
with neighboring family. She changed
the locks on the front and rear doors
of the VOORHEES, residence and gave the
keys to Weinberg and CLAM. Eight
o'clock on the night of April % was
settled as the time to rob the residence
and the girl was to be at certain
place In Oakland, where she was to be
Joined by the burglars.
Detectives Regan, O'Connell and Goff
learned of the plot and swooped down
on the three men in a saloon in Fulton
street while they We're preparing to go
to the Voorhfes residence. They found
revolver and cartridges in Grays
pockets and in Weinberg's room at Sos
Birch avenue they found two loaded
revolvers, 1T having been arranged that
they would go armed for fear Of being
interrupted in their work of looting the
residence. The girl had given them
the exact plan of the interior of the
house and where the jewelry and sill
verplater were kept and she had also
stolen the cooks police whistle. When
they did not appear at the rendezvous
in Oakland the girl became suspicious
that the plans had fallen through and
took the first train to FL Paso, Tex.
Since that time no trace of her has
been found.

charge. These emotional episodes were
played firmly and convincingly by Miss
Grey and were without visible flaw
not overdone, but deft. Her comedy
was hurt by evidences of nervousness.
Warder was success in the hands of
Robert Warwick, who as Robert Bien
is well known to San Franciscans; AL
fred Hickman, as man about town who
is accused Jointly with Becky, was a
finished performance. Indeed the COM
pany may be dismissed with the asser-
ton that it is excellent throughout.
Even the servant acts as though he
knew what service in a fashionable
household was like. A garden of flow
ers passed over the footlights was ma
terial evidence of the pleasure Miss
Grey's appearance gave.
