Earrings attorneys, Lynn & Bau-
mer, were almost as quiet as their
client, although they were skeptical
about Malzen's story of money spent
on his wife by Earling. They said if
Earring wanted to buy a bag of pop
corn he would first have TO ask his
father for the money.
Young Earring was not to be found
during the day. At his office, 40
South Dearborn street, he had Just
gone out" Later he had telephoned
he would go home. A reporter went
to the Earring residence, 400 North
