Baby Blonde Makes worries
Talk and Wins Cell in
Chicago Jail.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May GA blonde,
blue-eyed, baby faced young woman
arrived in Chicago about a week ago
and a number Of men who made
her acquaintance have learned lot
about wonderland dice-from her.
The young woman is Virginia
Nichols of St. Louis. She installed
herself at the Morrison hotel here
and soon became acquainted with a
great many men, much to the regret
of the men. 1t seems that Virginia
knows just about as much about
"galloping dominoes' as there is to
know.
ALI would have gone we'll except
that one of the men who dropped
$50 before the prayerful shooting Of
the slender Divorces fingers told
the hotel management that all
wasn't as it should be.
Before a pair of hard-boiled de-
tectives yesterday, Virginia displayed
her wizardy. She convinced the two
that she know what she was doing
when she turned her big blue eyes
aloft, caressed a pair of worries, and
rolled them out on a blanket.
There was nothing crooked in the
game, the detectives admitted. Vir-
GINA just had the dice trained to
listen to her dulcet tones. She will
appear in court today before Judge
Francis Borelli, who has no SYM
pathy with art such as Virginia's.
She said, as she packed her be-
longings before she went to Jail,
that her business" brings her a
nice tidy sum-" but she would not
say how much. She has been en-
gagged in the sport about a year and
half, she said.
After the two detectives had lost
all their change and decided she
knew too much, they started calling
for the girl to roll various points.
She demonstrated that she could.
There is some question as to what
the law can do, since no one has
signed a complaint against the girl.
She probably will be asked to carry
her dice to some other city.

Counsel for Abbott desire to sub
NIT testimony of what they term
"a not uncommon practice of
forgery and fraud" in the bank,
directing their attack particularly
against James L. Lang. aged head
of the closed institution. Lang,
after disappearing following the

Of Liberty bonds for him, but they
we're never delivered. Lang contends
the bonds we're turned over to Alb
bolt and has offered in evidence
what he says is a receipt, but which
Abbott charges is a forgery.
In the suit Abbott is seeking to
establish himself as a preferred
creditor Of the bank, in order that
his claim may have precedence over
those listed as general creditors.
Attorneys for Ben G. Crowder. re-
ceiver for the bank, objected when
Abbott's counsel sought to present
evidence that other persons had Suf-
fered loss from operations alleged to
be like those in reference to the
bonds.
Much of the force of testimony
offered by two men in behalf of Alb

Abbott's forged signature was de-
stroyed by admissions they made ON
cross examination. One of the
men, George R. Dutton, Sullivan,
admitted he had been employed by
Abbott to obtain records for use in
the trial and the other, Ralph Phil
lippe, former banker here, said he
had had only four years experience
in banking.
