THIRD MAN SEIZED IN HOLD-UP CASE Friend of Intended Victim| Arrested as Member of Trio Who Attempted Robbery. ‘With the arrest of Roland Clifton of 206 Eleventh street southeast, last night by Detectives Penn and Fla- herty of the sixth precinct, police had completed the list of suspects in the attempted robbery of Fred Hocheisen, 208 E street, last Thursday morning. Clifton, otherwise known as ““Dopey ) Dan,” is alleged by the police to be | the friend of Hocheisen, who clubbed with the other two suspects in staged. Wilrose Belhumeur, 26, of | Marlboro, Mass., who is being held as | another suspect in the same attempt- ed robbery with Dennis Smith of 1600 East Capitol street, is said to have di- vulged the entire plan to Detectives Sweeney, Waldron, Kelly and Scrive- ner. Befriended by Victim. The story uncovered by the detec- tives is that Belhumeur and Smith, unable to ‘“get” Hocheiser, who was accustomed to carry large sums in his pocket, called the erstwhile friend of the latter into conference for advice and assistance. And “Dopey Dan,” whose family had been provided for by Rocheiser, and who himself had been given a start by Hochelser after his release from Occoquan recently, en- tered the alleged plot to waylay Hochiser, police aver. The Hocheiser case, which is being held under consideration by the police temporarily, is said to have paved the way for the solution of a real, rather than an attempted holdup in the case of Charles Turner, cafe proprietor, who was held up and robbed about two weeks ago near his home, 1231 Massa- chusetts avenue southeast. Detectives at headquarters declare they, have recovered more than $1,5600 of the jewelry which was taken from Turner at the time he was robbed, and that they have uncovered evidence on which prosecutions of Belhumeur and Smith for highway robbery will be based. “Dopey Dan” is not implicated in the Turner case, police declared to- day.
