Chief Beavers now has the names
Of between fifteen and twenty men,
and more than a dozen young girls,
furnished to him by Hattie Smith,
Dora Rothstein and Corinne Wilson.
| He said, as can be found. they will
be brought into court. and cases made
where there is evidence enough to
/ justify such course. Those against
whom cases are not made viii be
summoned as witnesses and forced to
tell what they know.
One Of the startling Incidents of the
investigation came in police court
Saturday morning, in the hearing Of
Hattie Smith Mrs Lola White, Paul
Estes and Hoyt Monroe. The Smith
girl. heretofore one of the main
sources of evidence, fatty refused to
talk when placed on the stand. She
would neither affirm nor deny that
she had taken an auto ride with
Estes and Monroe and that she had
| had Illicit relations with them.
Startling Story Expected.
The stories Of the other three, how
ever, were sufficient for the holding of
the quartet.
What is expected to be the most
startling and sordid story told since
the beginning of the vice crusade will
be sold in Police Court Saturday aft
ernoon by Corinne Wilson when she
is placed on trial on a charge Of dis-
orderly conducts
The two men whom she named in
her first statement, A. c. Dollar and
w. w. Suttles, will be tried at the
same time, the former on a disorderly
conduct charge and the latter on
kidnapping charge.
Dora Rothstein, arrested with the
Wilson girl, will be tried before Judge
Pendleton, of the Juvenile Court, as
she is only IA years old. She will
appear in Police Court Saturday,
however as a witness.
Chief Warns Detectives.
In his conference with the detective
department late Friday afternoon.
which was held in Chief Lanfod'r Of
flee behind closed doors, Chief Beav-
ers took the detectives severely to
task for their laXity in reporting vice
cases. He intimated strongly that
the detectives were not doing their
duty and not getting results.
1T is as much your duty as 1t is
the duty of any other man on the
force" Chief Beavers is said to have
told them, Ito report the existence Of
vice. In the future all knowledge
gained by detectives as 10 the exist
ence OF immoral resorts must be re-
| ported at once to headquarters. II
you personally are engaged on some
other case and have not time to work
the vice case. report 1t so some one
else can investigate and make the
case"
The story Of the Wilson girl is
fraught with possibilities. Chief Beav-
ers declares. She will give a detailed
account of her adventures after Hhe
met Dora Rothstein at the White City
on July4, and It is understood that
she will make revelations of her life
before she was married, several
months ago. by which she will in
volve several downtown hotels. She
has promised Chief Beavers that she
will make public the name of every
man who has been with her and the
Rothstein girl during the past two
weeks
The girl already has given the Chief
the names Of several men whom she
asserts are connected with the vice
ring. and in all probability these men
will be subpenaed as witnesses in the
case. They will be brought into court,
and If the evidence warrants II cases
of disorderly conduct or statutory
charges will be made against them
If there is no evidence that they are
directly connected with the Wilson
girl and the Rothstein girl, they will
be held as witnesses and compelled TO
tell all they know about vice In At
