MilliOn-Donar Estate
Dwindles To But :
= SPAS

NEW YORK, April 10.-While
police undertook >an international
hunt for John j. Phelan, missing
since March 9 and under indict-
ment for grand larceny, counsel
for his brothers and sisters re-
ported that the 81, 100000 estate
of their father, of which the
missing man was sole executor,
had dwindled to '$24.48.
Meager data found in Phelan's
law office by Investigators
showed the only visible assets
were contained in three small
bank accounts. These carried
balances of $40, $12.98, and
$3.50. One account was said to
be ove1drawn.
Detectives leaned to a belief
that Phelan, staggered by the
frittering away of his fathers
estate, might have committed
suicide. Nevertheless, the hunt
was pressed, particularly along
the Broadway night-club trail,
where Phelan had frequently
been seen with movie actresses.
His appearances in a single
style of hat had gained him the
title there of "the man in the
brown derby"
