CHECKS THEY GAVE WERE BAD
THREE WOMEN HELD IN CHI
CAGo FOR LOCAL POLICE.
Cashed Paper at Willard Hotel for
Sums Totaling $263-Wanted
in Other Cities.

Word was received at police headquar-
tiers from Chicago last night that three
women, Mrs. c. C.. Olcott, Mrs. NJ r.
Edwards and Miss c. Croake, VINO are
wanted in this city to answer charges OF
having passed worthless checks at the
New Willard, had been arrested at the
Auditorium Annex. Inspector boaruman
wired the Chicago police to hold the trio,
saying he would sent an officer for them
without delay. The inspector was aware
that complaint had been made against the
women by the authorities of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and Boston. and he lost no time
putting in the first claim to them.
The women reached Chicago last Sum
day from Pittsburg, having left here the
latter part of July During the time they
were in this city staying at the view
Willard, ii is stated. they were hand-
somely gowned and occupied an expensive
suite of rooms Mrs. Olcott is thought
to he about sixty years of age, while Mrs.
Edwards is about forty and Miss Croake
twenty-five. At the New Willard they
registered as from New York Miss
Croake. who is said to be the daughter
of Mrs. Edwards. was registered at the
Annex as maid"
Very little was known in this city ABOUT
the women, but in Chicago Lieut.. of De-
tectives Cudmore. who made the arrests
learned from them something ABOUT tHelT
identity. Miss Croake told the lieutenant
that she and Mrs. Olcott were formerly
employed as nurses at the Massachusetts
State Asylum. They left that institution
a few weeks ago, she stated, and went to
New York There they met Mrs. Ed
wards, who was at that time known to
Miss Croake as Mrs. Durfee.
Miss Croake is said to have admitted
having passed two small checks. but she
believed they We're genuine, she stated
When Chicago detectives went to the
Annex to make the arrests,
they were told by Mrs. Olcott that Mrs.
Edwards was not in. and later one of
them, disguised as a porter, gained adj
mittance to the room and placed Mrs
Edwards under arrest. The other women
were also taken to a police station.
Miss Croake told the detectives she was
a native of Dublin, Ireland, and that she
came to this country about five years
ago.
Detectives Cox and Bernan were as
signed to the case and learned that the
three checks passed at the New Willard
for $50 $50 and S193, were returned from
a Massachusetts bank marked IN. G."
Warrants for the women were sworn out
today and Detective Berman will go to
with them.
