(.room Held in Swindle of
Film Men; Bride Weeps at
Hotel' as Hubby Jailed '
On Cheek Charges.
I'p in her biidal suite at the San-
for,' hotel, a young wife is weeping.
Down in the Central police station
het romantic lover is champing at
t Jie bit.
At the Sanford hotel, where they
were honeymooning, arc two checks
for $4.3. x-
At the Castle hotel, where they
were wed three weeks ago, is a check
f,)i $5111
And at the tlcizbetg Toggery, SL-tee-ith
and Douglas streets, is an
other check for $49.50.
All these checks were returned
marked "no funds." '
Thus ended the romance between
the dark-complexioned, neat theat
rical pronioTer and the' vivacious
Omaha dancing teacher.
Groom Is Arrested.
For the heart-broken bride, who
now sits in her bridal suite refusing
to even go to the police station to
visit her lover, was, before Cupid
tied the knot, Miss Grace Abbott,
lancing teacher, with studios in 403 I
Lyric building.
And the bridegroom ah, the gen
teel lover with the snapping: black
eyes and the sleek, shiny black hair
-he is known as K. Maclc.
' His returned checks v ere made
out on a bank in Elizabethtqwn, N.
J., and he represented himself as an
.tcent and promoter for the PiirIi
ICcal Concession company of To
pe! a, Kan.
Mack was arrested Friday night by
Private Detective E. L. McCombcr.
Movie Men In On It.
The detective alleges that Mack
cot returns from nearly every mo
tion picture theater in Omaha, both
downtown and suburban houses
, And' contracts in his pockets indi
cate that he did. . -
These contracts indict& that Mack
booked the Omaha motion picture
theaters for all sorts otNconcessioiis
from this I'ukIi Real company of
Topeka. J
And Detective McComber declares
he has information to show that Mack
swindled these same movie men out
of thousands of dollars by .these con
tracts. '
Bride Refuses to Talk.
The detective has slight informa
tion concerning this man's whirl
wind courtship witli the Omaha
dancing teacher.
But he has othctj important in
formation, and that is that Mack is
a former contact from San Quentin
prison in California.
The weeping bride declined to dis
cuss the bursting of her love bubble.
That bursting came with too
great a surprise.
; And the black-haired.- black-eyed
litvcr his lips sanothinjf -but .those
Mack orbs speak books,
i Mack is held pending word from
)je I'ugli-Ncal company.
: ile will be arraigned carjy next
week.
