DORIS KIN HELD IN ATTEMPT TO ROB STORE HERE Alertness of Citizen Halts Thief in Getting $2500 Loot DEFENDANT'S ARREST RECALLS DUAL TRAGEDY One Brother Slain in Prison, Other Killed by Gangster Surprised while looting a Broadway women's wearing apparel shop, George Doris, 23, of 738 Race street, Philadelphia, was held without bail to await the action of the grand jury today when arraigned before Judge Pancoast on charges of breaking, entering and larceny. When arrested early yesterday morning, Doris told police he was George McGovern, a Camden cafe entertainer, but fingerprints and photos taken by Camden police and compared with the use of George Doris at Philadelphia detective headquarters resulted in his identity being established. The accused man is a younger brother of John Doris, Camden and Philadelphia gangster who was slain under mysterious circumstances while serving a sentence in the State Penitentiary at Trenton, and Frank Doris, who was electrocuted in Pennsylvania in connection with the killing of a policeman in the Olney Bank robbery. In court today, Doris, not representing himself by counsel, entered a plea of not guilty to the charges. He told Judge Pancoast that he was in the store yesterday and did not remember being at 601 Broadway when he was taken into custody. Neighbor Gives Tip It had not been for the quick thinking of William Henlon, of 532 Royden street, City Detective Joseph Carpani Judge Pancoast, Doris might have gotten off with $2500 in women's coats, dresses and lingerie. Henlon, according to the story which was disclosed to the court, was aroused from his sleep early yesterday by somebody hammering against the rear door of the Pomerantz store, which is opposite his home. Getting up, Henlon went down to investigate the cause of the disturbance and found Doris using a pick-ax which he found in Henlon's yard to force the door. Henlon became talkative as soon as Henlon and confided that he had a contract to do some work in the Pomerantz store. Surprised that a man should be at so early on a Sunday, Henlon went into his own home and decided to telephone police quarters and communicate his suspicions. Patrolman George Schuyler and Milhill were dispatched to the scene. Entering through the rear door as Doris had done, the two men came upon the suspect as carrying an armful of women's dresses from the front of the store to the rear. He surrendered without a struggle and was taken to police headquarters where he said his name was George McGovern. A search of his clothing, revealed which he had taken from a cash register in the store but $600 in returns from Saturday night which S. Pomerantz, proprietor had placed in a box and hidden under a counter, not disturbed. Police Record Doris has a police record in Philadelphia, having been arrested at one time or another for having an opium pill in his possession, as an inmate of a disorderly house and in connection with operation of a gaming house.
