DIAMONDS LIGHT BELLHOP AND HIS BRIDE TO CELLS
William Voorhees' unexampled prosperity in the prosaic occupation of bellhop in the Parkway hotel at 2100 Lincoln parkway concluded yesterday in the collapse of his honeymoon flat, his arrest on a charge of the theft of $2,000 worth of diamonds belonging to the wife of Dr. Claude R. Forrester, and the disillusionment of his wife, the former Miss Dorothy Gavin, one time switchboard operator in the hotel.
Miss Voorhees was locked up in the Clark street annex, sobbing her ignorance of the source of all the gems.
The Forrester gems disappeared on Jan. 14, while the owners were at breakfast. On March 6, Voorhees and Miss Gavin eloped to Crown Point, Ind. and were married. Voorhees startled the Justice of the peace by giving his wife a wedding gift of a diamond about the size of a doorknob. They went to housekeeping in a flat at 1931 North Park avenue.
Their arrest was followed by that of Victor H. Kemper of 24 North Carpenter street, in whose place some of the stolen jewelry is said to have been found.
