stock, valued at $4,000, entrusted to

ors of DORIS, w. T. Hook and Elmer
M. Bray, We're busily engaged about
the st. Francis hotel in telling to who
soever would listen that they had lost
$4,000 through transactions with Dorr.
In casual conversations the two men
freely admitted their troubles. But
when questioned by newspapermen the
two Los Angeles men grew painfully
silent.

But YOU were in conference with
him at his office this afternoon" sug-
gested a reporter.

evading the question.
While Hook was denying that he
even knew Dorr, his young partner
Bray, was growing more straight
forward in his answers.

Angeles admitted Bray when out of
Hooks hearing. He handled some of
our securities. but we can not say to
what extent our losses will reach"
Hook continued his bland declaration
that he had never heard of Dorr in a
business way when he was suddenly
confronted with Brays admissions
Your partner says Dorr did do bust
ness with you.' Hook was told
we have to catch a train," he
stammered.

Hook loquaciously boasted that Dorr
had handled many securities for his
firm, but that all but $50, 600 had been
recovered. He characterized the fail
ure as nasty one" and limited at
dire prosecutions. But .Dorr evidently
talked the Los Angeles men out of

last evening.
