Frying to ALLEVIATE the affections Of

made yesterday afternoon by Harry
lr. Whelen. his Washington at

4 Appeals to "Nicly."
According to Whelen, his client told
him several weeks ago that he was
getting tired Of the way he was being
treated by ..Nicky" Arnstein, Dave
Sullivan, and the others, who were
mixed up in the alleged deal with him.
and said he had appealed to them
many times for assistance. E
The last stroke came, according to
Attorney Whelen, when yesterday,
who has been confined in the District
Jail for ten weeks, received a letter
from his wife. Gloria Foy. one of the
Midnight Follies beauties, that she
had learned that while he was out Of
Jail he spent great deal Of time and
money on other women.
He wrote asking his wife where she
obtained mer information, and deny
ing the accusation. She replied, At
torney Whelen says, that she received
her information from the former as

Easterday then sent for Whelen and

Easterday and his wife never had
= cross word. according to Attorney
whelen. until his former associates
rot to her in New ork with stories of
Wild parties in which Easterday and
ether women figured.
After the receipt of his wife's letter,
Easterday seemed to brood over 1t for
several days. Whelen said, and one
day last week told him that he wanted
to 90 to New York and make a clean
xbreast of the whole matter.
Easterday, according to Attorney
whelen, obtained 5000 about six weeks
ago and sent 1t to his former asso-
ciates in New York with instructions
to apply 1t on the premium of his
bond. Easterday never received word
from them that they were even try

says, and the 5000 was pocketed by
