Sioux City Stirred Over Opera
tions Involving Prominent
Persons.
IT'S A WOMAN THIS TIME
Victims Are Willing to Stand Their
Losses Rather Than Have
Names Exposed.

Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 12.-Three
physicians, nine other men of Sioux
City and real estate man from Chi
cage are linked as victims in the al
legged blackmailing activity Of one
young woman.
The revelation was made by Charles
A Smith, an attache of the Hawkeye
club, who alleges utter heartbreak
and the loss of $504. Smith on Friday
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Sarah Spears, handsome young
woman. saying she got the money on
promise of marriage.
Coincident with the issuance Of the
warrant, Julius Duggan of Chicago,
whose affection the girl also gained,
arrived in the city. He told various
persons of whom he inquired for
Sarah that he came here on her re-
quest to make her his wife. Sarah
disappeared that day.
RACKS DOWN WHEN NEAR ARREST
A policeman walking with Smith in
search of the girl detected and started
to arrest her at the Milwaukee sta
ton, when Smith suddenly called him
away, declaring he wasn't sure the
girl was his enchantress. He changed
his mind soon after that and admitted
she was the one to whom he had lost
his heart But 1t was then too late,
for the girl had vanished.
Smith told the police that the girl
frequently got money from him. and
finally borrowed $432 in one sum to
satisfy a mortgage on $4,000 farm
she said she owned in Lyman county
South Dakota. She promised to give
him the deed to the property. he said
when they were married. Following
/ that. he declared, Sarah broke every
appointment and prepared to leave
! town.
Rcomers in the house where Sarah

ried men in a compromising position

then obtain money from the men or

A sister and brother were here with

animation yesterday afternoon. His
she was telling the truth about her
age, the legacy she said she gave
Stokes to invest for her, the confe~-.
sion generating Stokes, her r-speated
demands for money, and rer friendship
for other men. -
Mr.. Buckner proceeded suavely, at
times shading his questions with
irony. He endeavored in every way
that occurred to him to trap the wit
ness and to break down her story.
Many times she couldn't remember
or couldn't recall or couldn't be sure.
She wept less, but was nervous and
pale and looked I'll.
Letters written by Miss Graham to
Stokes and copies of letters written
by Stokes to her were produced for
the first time The copies of Stokes
letters were taken from his files of
correspondence Che duplicated all oi
his letters to the young woman and
filed the duplicates systematically
and were copies of letters that were
stolen, so Miss Graham's lawyers have
contended, from her apartment after
she and Miss Conrad shot Stokes. The
production of these and of five short
notes Miss Graham wrote to Stokes
was surprise, evidently, to the de
fense
OFFERED AS CONTRADICTION.
Mr. Buckner introduced her letters
as contradiction of her testimony
that after she had spent two days al
! Stokes Lexington stock farm in June
1907, he forced her TO sign a confes
sion of previous wrong doing by
threatening to expose her to her fam
! lily and that she was held a prisoner
until she signed the paper. But the
notes produced indicated, Mr. Bucknel
pointed out, that she was practicine
at making a confession of some sort
in April, 1907 She was making rough
drafts and asking Stokes if that wat
what he wanted. One of the first
written as was all the rest were, on
Hotel Ansonia paper, read:
