THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Only Nickey Arnstein Remains of Non-Toiling Crew of Broadway's Night Life to Pass Time of Day With Detectives. By WESTBROOK PEGLER United Nttcs Staff Correspondent NEW 7 YORK, Oct. 24.—David Lamar has begun to serve his federal year in a Jersey jail; Bill Fallon, the Broadway lawyer, is having his own troubles fighting his way out of a serious fracas with the law; Fuller and McGee, the bucket shop brokers, have pleaded guilty and squealed, and now Albert E. Guimares, “sweetie’ ’ of the murdered Dot King, is spending a night in the Tombs, unable to raise $5,000 bail.

This may be only the first of many nights on which Guimares may have a chance to study the outside world from an Inside view, for he was arrested Tuesday on a charge of using the malls to defraud in the final descent of Federal officers on the freespending, non-toiling leaders of merriment after midnight In tho lid clubs on and off Broadway. Only Nickey Arnstein, husband of the faithful Fanny Brice of the Fol- ! jies—only Nickey, of all that quondam carefree crew. Is able to walk the west side of Broad\4ay now. from Times Square to the seventies, with a nod and an unworrled trte-o’-day for the dandy detectives who patrol the street. “Plants” May Quit Now perhaps, with Guimares withdrawn from fluent circulation, some of the coziest little above-stairs plants where the walls are packed with felt and hung with heavy draperies to confine the sounds of revelry by night, will go out of business because of non-support. Guimares was picked up by United States Inspector Graham, and rushed through a preliminary hearing before Commissioner Hitchcock. He was game, Guimares was. For the lack of a mere $5,000, which any good hustler should be able to pick ; up between noon and sundown In circumstances of sufficient urgency. Guimares was committed to the tombs on a charge of using the mails to get plenty for nothing whatever. Dotty’s Other Man Guimares first became prominent, not to say notorious, at the time when Dotty King was found crumpled amid the Bilks of her bed In a flat opposite the Calvary Baptist Church, where she pursued her career as a heavy sugar baby, within earshot of the pulpit where the famous John Roach Stratton whanged the Bible with a righteous fist and preached damnation to doers of evil. Guimaree had been Dotty's “other man.” While her “heavy sugar daddy” was elsewhere, Guimares was with Dotty. After she had been killed for the rather cheap, but extremely flashy collection of Jewelry. Guimaree was asked many questions by the police and the district attorney, but In the end, the Dotty King case Joined the Gentleman Joe Elwood case In the files at police headquarters as one of the unsolved mysteries of Broadway. Settled Down Some time after that, Guimares married Betty Plermont, a red-haired girl, and settled down to his business of getting the money. Hilda Ferguson, the chorus girl who was Dotty’B room-mate before the murder, took a trip to Paris, returned, and Is now In the same show with Fanny Brice—the Follies. They have a rather limited circle of personal acquaintance, after all, these characters in Broadway's big cases cf the last few years, and their field of operations also is bounded by a few blocks between Forty-Second St. and comsr .t NinetySixth and Broadway. Had “Brokerage” Firm. At the time of the Dotty’s murder, Guimares was operating one of his many “brokerage" firms as a sort of namesake of hers. This was the firm of King St Scott, which did business underjGulmares’ genius in the same! building with four other of his enterprises. All of these were scrutinized by the postoffice, inspectors in their search for evidence to support a com-' plaint received from one of Guimares’ “customers." Continuing their explorations In the realm of brokerage, they found Guimares was also "the firm” In five other concerns, which they Investigated also. Two other men, Henry W. Fields and William B. Kaas, associates of Guimares, were arrested and warrants are out for Henry Guimares, & brother of Alfred, and two others. On Sucker IJst Graham, the Fedoral inspector, said the Government had evidence that | $150,000 had been obtained from a | number of investors who had the misfortune to be named on a sucker list j and who were approached by phone j for their “business.” According to Graham. Guimares had more business ingenuity than any of the others who got into trouble. When, as the Government will allege, Guimares had sold an order of stock to an "Investor” he would turn the customer's name over to his byproduct plant. In this plant, the Gcve ament claims, Guimares utilized even the squeal, for It was a private stock fraud bureau. The bureau would offer to investigate the deal transacted with the stock brokerage firm and wou’d charge a fee for the service, obtaining in the process possession of all the evidence in the customer’s hands. Heinrich Hearing on Oct. 31 Fritz G. Heinrich, secretary-treas-urer of the Realty Finance and Building Company, who is charged with embezzlement, will demand a preliminary hearing in City Court, Oct. 31, It was said today. Police continued their search for Lyle Laub, president of the company.

Disarmament Time-Honored Weapon —the Hat Pin —Taken From Women by Fashion They Pad Their Millinery Instead of Hair to Keep Top Piece On.

The move for disarmament has struck women’s styles. Woman's time honored weapon—the hatpin—has been taken away from her, and this without a peep of protest from the victims. It took no council of grave diplomats to effect the “reform." Bobbed hair did It. Indianapolis jewelers say they have not sold a hat pin for ever so long. While woman’s weapon lies in rust milliners tell us why: The short hair stye does not leave enough on the head to hold a hat pin. Rats used to help those with scanty locks, but rats are nbt In fashion anymore. How do they keep their hats on? It’s easy. They crush the crown In. Som* have the band padded in the back so It fits tightly right under where the hair leaves off. Some hats Just naturally fit tight. The girls need hat pins about as much as Lloyd George and Zev need press agents. “Studied Neglect” Is Charge Although he provided a gcod home and many luxuries for Mrs. Faye Baurman, she treated him with coldness and studied neglect, it is charged by Ralph W. Baurman, general contractor, Marlon Club, in his divorce suit filed in Circuit Court. Mrs. Ba irman went to California last summejr over his protest, the oomph*ffnt charges. They were married he states.
