, that he feared an outbreak of his
"ailment."
Didn't Mean Any Harm.
"I didn't mean any harm to these
little girls" DEM declared to the Off
Gals. 81 did not even know anyone OF
them and although I admit that I have
done this thing on number of occa-
sions, just how many I don't know,
there never was time when l planned
to harm one of the girls. can't ex-
plain it but when this temptation
came over me I could not resist it. If
I could work all the time would be
alright, but just as soon as l get out
of work this trouble comes"
"When was in Detroit" declared
DEM, II was a frequent visitor at the
art institute there and it was to get
away from the art institute that left
Detroit and came to Kenosha. If they
will send me home to spend Christ
mas, will never come back and
know that I will be able to have the
right kind of treatment. My people
are good people and they do not know
anything about this"
At Telephone When Arrested.
DEM was at telephone in down
town hotel when he was arrested by
Detective Rock. The mother of one
of the young girls who had been APP
preached by the man and the daugh-
ter had aided in the capture. "There
is the fellow at the telephone" de-
clared the young woman as she passed
the hotel in company with the detec-
tive. Rock lost no time in grabbing
his man. "What are you doing in
this hotel and at the telephone 2" Rock
demanded of DEM. The fellow turned
white and said, "I'm just trying to
call up physician" The number
sought by the man was secured by the
detective but the physician when seen
later declared that he did not know
DEM and that he could have no idea
what he wanted with him. When DEM
was taken out Of the hotel he was
again identified by the young woman.
He made no effort to deny the state
ments made and showed willingness
to make an immediate confession.
Six Charges Against Him.
Under the information secured in
the confession the police will be able
to bring six charges against the man.
All are of similar nature and it is
not expected that any of the young
women connected with the various
cases will be called into court. Under
the law he, may be fined a hundred
dollars and the costs for each offense,
but it is possible that the police will
be able to bring complaint under the
"habitual criminal act which would
make it possible to send the man to
prison. He had plenty of money when
he was arrested and he told the police
that for some time he had been en-
ployed in a Kenosha afctory.
William Stark, 81 years of age, who
was arrested on a similar charge and
who pleaded not guilty, is to come up
for hearing on Wednesday.
The police have declared that they
are determined to drive this class of
people out of Kenosha. Information
secured from DEM may result in 9TH
er arrests at once as he is admitted
to have given information which may
lead to the arrest of others charged
with gross immortality.
