HITCHCOCK CASE
IS DISMISSED
Girl Witness Declares That
She had Told a False
Story
PROSECUTION Is UPSET

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Raymond
Hitchcock the actor, was honorably dis
charged and formally dismissed early ,his
afternoon on the charge Of wronging
Helen Won Hagen.
Jstioe Blanchard, on the suggestion Of
Assistant District Attorney Garvan dis.
missed the case In view OF the statement
by Flora Winston that her testimony be-
fore the grand jury which contributed to
Hitchcocl's indictment was false. Justice
Blanchard said that the charges against
the Gerry agents was so serious that the
district attorney must make an examina-
ton. Hitchcock is still held for assault
on Elsie voecks and Prosecutor Garvan
promised he would get an early trial.
Flora Winston, one Of the girls alleged
TO have accused the actor, fatty denied on
the witness stand to-day that she had
ever gone to Hitchoook's room where the
prosecution charges the Won Hagen girl
was IN treated. Flora. II is charged by
the state, was present when the alleged
assault occurred.
Although called by the prosecution, the
girl dealt Assistant District Attorney Gar
vans case a blow. After admitting she
had met Hitchcock several times. she
positively denied ever having gone to the
comedians rooms. In doing so she direct
ly contradicted her testimony before the
grand jury. Her denial came as a big sur
prise to Garvan. The prosecutor finally
forced his witness to admit that she had
testified TO other facts before the grand
mi.
moments later by saying that she had
testified before the grand jury only te
say just what she had been told to tel
by agents Of the Gerry Society and that
she had been threatened" II she did not
tell this story. Her grand jury tale she
admitted, was not true.
Defence Attorneys Elated.
itchcock's attorneys showed the
greatest elation over the strong de-
claration In favor OF hteir client. Gar
van admitted he had been taken OF
his feet by the witnes and asked an
adjournment. He hurrledly left the
room and 1t was reported he had gone
for a warrant to arrest the girl on a
charge of perjury.
While Garvan was gone, Flora, on
the witness tand evidently appreciated
her possible fate, sat with her hand
kerchief before her face. but so Tar
as could be seen shed no tears.
Scarcely looking the eighteen years
lacking one month, to which she con-
fessed the young girl was called to the
stand as the first witness when the
hearing was resumed today.
Within five minutes she had carried
discontinue into Caravans camp.
Her examination started auspicious-
by from the states standpoint wher
she admitted knowing Hitchcock, say
ing she had met him first in Newara
over a year ago. She told Of further
meetings with the actor in New York
and said on one Of these occasion,
Helen Won Hagen was with her. Their
came her reputation of the evidence
she was expected to give.
