                         POLICE ARREST A SUSPICIOUS MAN
                         
                       HARRY HYSLOP, OF THE NORTH END, IS 
                       ACCUSED OF ANNOYING SEVERAL WOMEN.
                       
                       HIS CAPTURE IS EFFECTED BY SERGT.
                       SHINE, FOLLOWING TELEPHONE CALL.
                       
                       IS EMPLOYED AT THE BLOCK I SHOPS -
                           WIFE FAINTS AT THE NEWS.
                           
                   For the past month reports have been received
                 at police headquarters from residents at the
                 north end that young girls and women were being
                 annoyed by a mysterious man. The last report was
                 received at 6 o'clock Sunday night and came from
                 a young woman, who stated that she had been 
                 chased on Stone st. by a man, shortly after she
                 had alighted from a north bound street car.
                   Night Sergeant JOSEPH SHINE was detailed on
                 the case and boarded the next north bound car.
                 At the corner of Elmwood and Stone streets he
                 saw a man standing in the shadows and acting
                 suspiciously. He was placed under arrest. With
                 a quick movement SHINE threw open the man's over-
                 coat and there was no question but what the much
                 sought individual who had been annoying women
                 was in custody.
                 
                                 Man is Married
                   At police headquarters the man gave his name
                 as HARRY HYSLOP, and his residence as 1019 Gar-
                 field st. HYSLOP is a married man. It is stated
                 he endeavored to make excuses at headquarters
                 for his condition but finally, it is alleged,
                 weakened and stated he would make a statement
                 to Chief of Police MARX this morning.
                   When questioned in the chief's office today
                 HYSLOP is said to have admitted that he had
                 chased the young lady in question but would not
                 confess to having annoyed other women. His
                 description however is said to tally with the
                 reports sent in by other citizens and there is
                 no question in the minds of the police but what
                 HYSLOP is the man who has been making a practice
                 of annoying young girls an women in the northern
                 part of the city.
                   HYSLOP is employed at the Block I shops in the
                 blacksmith department and his arrest and exposure
                 of his alleged degenerate methods comes as a big
                 surprise to his associates. MRS. HYSLOP when in-
                 formed of her husband's arrest fainted away. She
                 was not informed of the charge made against him
                 until later. 
                   To Chief MARX, HYSLOP is said to have stated
                 that he could not give any explanation of his
                 strange conduct. Owing to the fact that the man
                 did not make any actual assault on the woman
                 whom he annoyed no serious charge can be made
                 against him. The police, however, state that
                 some way should be devised for taking care of
                 such cases as it is dangerous to allow them at
                 large.
                   HYSLOP was arraigned before Judge CLAIRE R.
                 BLACK this morning and pleaded guilty to a 
                 charge of being disorderly, that being the most
                 serious offense that could be registered against
                 the man. The court sentenced HYSLOP to 90 days
                 in the Detroit house of correction. HYSLOP'S
                 associates and relatives are shocked at the
                 revelation in connection with his actions.
