Judge Will Examine
Alleged "Baby Vamp"
To Test Her Powers

"She said she would 'vamp' my
son if I didn't give her $1,000 and
now guess she has done it," cried
Mrs. Y. Brackney of Benson in
juvenile court yesterday.
The alleged baby vampire" is
15-year-old Rose Klausner and her
alleged victim is Frank Hinskley,
10 years old, who disappeared from
home two days ago. He is Mrs.
Brackney's son by former mar
rage.
Mrs. Brackney wept copiously in
juvenile court. She said Frank was
completely overcome by the charms
of Rose and that Rose took a vamp-
ish delight in her poisoning pow
ers to sway men by her beauty and
charm. They were always together
lately, she said, and her own oppo~
sition to the juvenile romance. she
believes, is what caused Frank to
disappear.
Judge Troup gave orders for the
alleged young vamp to be brought
before him next Saturday at which
time he will decide whether she is
too dangerous vamp to be left
at large.
