sonq. frankie" Ford, implicated In
a series OF dive murders, has given
the authorities much material on
which TO work In their Investlgs-
ton. The girls story Of wholesale
murder, so inhumzn II can scarcely
be believed, has no parallel In the
history OF the Middle West towns
and citles. II shows, according TO
Miss Virginia Brooks. the reformer
who caused the arrest Of the Ford
giri, that crimes innumersble have
been committed in West Hammond
by vice keepers and their men and
women slaves. while the police
looked on and winked.
frankie" Ford, who 10 but n
years Of age, says she is victim
Of the vice ring" She 10 . pretty
woman. and was once much more
beautiful. She is addicted TO the
use Of drugs. but the officers who
obtained the long confessicn from
her do not take stock In the theory
Of other women Of the resorts that
morphine caused her to esag9ersts

Robbery the Motive
Robbery was the motive for the
crimes. the Ford girl said, adding
that the police knew about II, but
were sharing in graft. She is
formally held in custody. charged
with being an accessory TO the mur-
der OF John Messmaker, who. she
says, died after drinking from the

pany on August 10.
II Is feared that possibly 2i vio-
lent deaths occurred In the dives
which Virginia Brooks has been
fighting. Not all OF these are mat
ters Of record. however. and the
facts concerning them are shrouded
In mystery az far as the public is
concerned. Since developments in
the case became SO startling as 10
stir state officials, numerous
threats against the life OF Miss
Brooks have been made by persons
connected with the criminal dens
OF the town Miss Brooks says she
does not fear the threats will be
carried out.
Arrests are quickly following tho
confession OF the Ford girl Henry
Foss. owner OF the resort where
she once lived. and Con" Moore,
keeper of another dive, we're taken
into custody Immediately. More
revelations are expected as the in
ycstigators progress in their probe
Of what Is considered one OF the
