YOUNG NEW YORK MILLIONAIRE. ON JOY RIDE WITH BRYN
 MAWR COED, OUT BAIL.
DlCkERING TO DROP CHARGE
Victim, Daughter of Mexico Miner. Says Escort, Maddened by JeaI- ousy, Attacked Her and Then
 Wrecked Touring Car.

New York, Oct. 3.-Mystery sur rounding midnight automobile esca. pade with girl, which resulted in the arrest of Herman Oelrichs, scion of the Nanderbilts, may be cleared here by the revelation of the identity of a companion who, pretty Lucille Sin gleton says, grasped Oelrichs' hand as he stabbed her and thus wrecked their car.
 Oelrichs has $3O,OOO,OOO in his own name.
 After many hours investigation. during which the police sought proof that the central figure of the midnight Joyride was young Oelrichs masuue- radlng under the name of a former fellow collegian, D. NJ Claghorn of Tacoma, Wash, the young millionaire was trapped in Miss Singleton's apart ment and arrested. He spent two hours in a cell at the Mulberry station before his mother appeared and caused his release on $5,000 bond.
 When Oelrichs is arraigned in Har- lem court, Miss Singleton is expected to appear and tell her story in full. Then the identity of the second man in the car is expected to come out. and his arrest is expected
 Alleged dickering between Oelrichs and Miss Singleton as to compensa- tion is said to have accounted for the delay in identifying him as the joy rider and alleged stabber.
 In this connection Detective Trayer. who was first sent out on the case, has been suspended because of the report he turned in. It was said that Miss Singleton felt that 5000 would not be too much to repay her for her injuries and the notoriety she had at tained as the result of the frolic. This. however, she says, was considered too much money, even for an Oelrichs, and $400 was his best offer.
 This information the girl imparted to Detectives Cassassa and McKenna.
 Get him here,' they said, and in response to telephone call to his fra ternity house at Columbia university the young man appeared in the Sin gleton apartment, where the detec- tives waited.
 "How do you do, Ms'. Craighorn?" said the girl.
 "Oh, you know my name isn't Craig horn" was his reply. My name is Oelrichs.'
 Then as he saw the two men: May l be introduced to your friends?"
 The detectives arrested young Gel richs. He was not handcufrcd, but was taken to Mulberry street and re- mained in a cell until his mother Mrs Theresa Oelrichs, arrived

Minneapolis, Oct. 3.-Weeping and almost a nervous wreck. Mrs. Ida Leckwold, believed to have poisoned six of her children, was arraigned in municipal court on tte charge of poi soning her daughter Viola, to which she has confessed.
 Before the arraignment, Chief of Police Martinson further questioned her in an endeavor to confirm reports that she admitted the murder of three of the other children to her husband. He refused to give out the result of the examination.
 The police are Investigating as to why Mrs. Leckwold was not turned over to the police last Friday, when at least five persons are said to have been informed that she confessed to her husband the poisoning of Viola and of three younger children.
 Rev. Warren Shock, pastor of the Church of the Brethren, called at the Leckwold home last Friday when member of his congregation told him that Mrs. Leckwold was i'll. He said that the poison charges were men.

 The preacher declared he thought the charges were the result of a fam- fly row, and did not report them to the police. After thinking the matter over until Sunday he made up his mind to go to the authorities.
