Barrage of Protests
On Davis' Wedding
Aimed at Dewey
Fortner Gang Lawyer,
Hope Dare in Seclusion
After Nyack Ceremony
E) the Associated Press.
NYACK, N. Y„ Aug. 7.—A bar
rage of criticism was aimed at New
York’s District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey today protesting the “seclu
sion in Rockland County” of honey
mooning Hope Dare, red-headed ex
showgirl, and Dixie Davis, former
gang lawyer who knew nothing of
his wedding until he arrived at the
altar.
Miss Dare, who induced Davis to j
testify against the underworld and !
the disbarred attorney, who guided i
the notorious Dutch Schultz gang
through a maze of legal difficulties—
were married yesterday in the office
of a Nyack lawyer and immediately
disappeared under chaperonage of
detectives.
Residents Protest.
Today Chief of Police Walter Lie
bert of nearby Clarkstown said resi
dents had deluged his office with
protests against the couple's sup
posed residence in the vicinity.
He communicated with George V.
Dorsey, Rockland County district at
torney, who said he was endeavor
ing to lodge the complaint with Mr.
Dewey. Dewey detectives have
guarded Davis constantly since he
was released from jail recently after
serving 126 days for his part in a
lottery racket.
Meanwhile Ralph Geffen, the at
torney in whose office the nuptial
ceremony took place, said “details
of the wedding were arranged for
Davis"—that the former underworld
lawyer knew nothing of the affair
until the last moment.
Pictures Taken.
Police Judge Emanuel Goldstein,
who performed the ceremony, said
a detetctive took "about a dozen
photographs of the wedding from all
angles,” indicating there was an offi
cial desire that every phase of the
proceedings be recorded.
Chief Liebert said he had a right
to know where Mr. and Mrs. Davis
were—if they were in his territory—
because “We don't want New York
hoodlums around here. Dewey had
no right to send them up here.”
He explained citizens were afraid
of gang reprisals against Davis, witn
possible injury to innocent persons,
and that the county wanted nothing
to do with Davis or his 28-year-old
bride.

350,000 U. S.
Citizens Live
Outside of Nation
How many American citizens live
outside the United States? One
million? One hundred thousand?
3ive up? . . . The answer, accord
ing to the National Geographic So

clusive of tourists and transitory
visitors. "This figure includes an
estimated 175,686 Americans in
Canada and Newfoundland, the

tory. In South America there are
more Americans in Brazil, which has
3,812, than In any other country.
Mexico counts 12,840. Latin Amer

‘neighborhood’ status, has less than

present ‘trouble spots,’ the Baltic
port of Danzig, now contested be
tween Poles and Germans, is host
to an estimated 28 Americans. Pale
stine, it is recorded, contains 9,000
resident Americans, while in war
harried China there are reported
some 7,700 Americans away from
home.”
