Woman's Complaint
HIS ARREST MADE
SENSATIONALLY
Miss Lucille Singleton Was
Unable to Appear
in Court

New York, Oct. 2.-Herman 0elrchs
the young millionaire whom Lucille Sin.
gleton charges with having stabbed hel
| in an automobile Tuesday night, was
larraigned in police court to-day and held
| for a hearing next Tuesday. Miss Sin
| gleton was unable to appear in court.

dent at Bryn Mawr college and said ia
be the daughter of Texas mine owner
Theodore Trayer, detective, who had
| an automobile accident to
young Oelriehs machine on Broadway
Tuesday night, was suspended.
Trayer's report regarding the accident
in which Miss Singleton had been re-
ported injured" by being tossed through
the windshield of the machine, was not
satisfactory in the light of developments
lin the case as obtained later by another
detectives, it was announced at police
headquarters.
Miss Singleton told detectives accord.
ing to Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty, she had been stabbed by a
man to whom she alluded as Creighton, Z
her companion in the car. Trayer prior
to this had reported, said Dougherty,
that Miss Singleton told him she was
stabbed, and that in reply to question
whether she knew Oelrichs she replied
she did not. The machine that met
with the accident, however, striking a
stone and crashing into a tree, belonged
to Oelrichs. The girls companion fled,
leaving the wrecked ear behind him, and
Miss Singleton was removed to a hos
pital and later to her home.

he was detective, called on Miss Sim
gleton yesterday and advised her to
settle" the case for money, detectives
told Dougherty, and after a conversation
in which the sum of $4,000 was men
toned, an understanding was reached
that Creighton was to give her S400.
Commissioner Dougherty last night
arranged fer Miss Singleton to telephone
the home of Creighton and ask him
to come to her home. which she did.
Detectivse concealed themselves there,
and 0elrichs and companion, they say,
walked in, and Oelrichs was arrested
as the result of conversation between
the two and Miss Singleton. The other
man was not made a prisoner. The
young man is p years old and a first
year student in the law school
Dougherty announced that Miss Sin
gleton had identified Oelrichs as her as
salant, declaring the automobile acci-
dent happened when 0elrichs let go the
steering wheel to attack her. A few
minutes before this, Dougherty said,
Miss Singleton declared she had told
Oelrichs that she had dinner engage
