JeIke Defense Rests
Without Calling Him
To Stand in Trial
BY the Assoeioied Press

fense in the vice trial of play
boy Minot Mickey Jelke
rested its case today. leaving
the impression that a boys best
friend is still his mother.
Jelke. short, plump and %
years old, never took the wit
ness stand to answer the States
charges that he induced three
young women to become prosti-
tutes and lived off the earnings
of one of them.
An anticipated parade of
witnesses in Jelke's behalf
simply failed to appear. Pos
sibly this was by defense design.
But rumors persisted that some
who were his friends in fair
weather days had taken run
out.
MOtACA HIS DCSL "AbnCSSs
Jelke's best witness was his
mother, who appeared in his be-
half yesterday. Black-garbed and
quiet-voiced, she fought like any
mother for her sons reputation.
The defense opened Tuesday
In the General Sessions court
room of Judge Francis L. Va
lente. The prosecution took two
weeks to present its case. The
judge barred press and public
from that phase of the case. say
ing it was too lurid for public
consumption.
Both sides were expected to
summarize their cases later to-
day before an all-male jury.
The last witness called by the
defense was the attorney for a
girlhood chum of Pat Ward, 19,
chief States witness. The slen-
der, copper-haired Miss Ward
accused Jelke of inducing her to
become a prostitute at $50 to
500 a night and then taking
nearly all her earnings.
The girlhood chum of Miss
Ward was Grace Appel. whom
the defense said it had been un-
able to locate.
Miss AppePs lawyer, Sidney
Steinhauer, told the court he
didn't even remember the last
time he saw his client.
Banker Appears Again.
On the stand earlier the de-
fense placed Charles F. Salkeld
of Pine Lake, N. j., in charge of
a. branch of the Bankers Trust
Co. where Jelke had an account.
It was his second appearance on
the stand. He discussed Jelke'S
bank accounts.
The obvious defense purpose
has been to show that Jelke was
so we'll fixed financially that he
never would have to take money
from Miss Ward or any other
call girl.
Yesterday Jelke's mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Clark Teal, admitted
under ss-examination that
she found herself being hostess
to Robert Merritt, a confessed
procurer; Ray R. Davioni. an
accused procurer; Miss Ward
and Diana Harris, the socalled
golden girl of cafe society.
Miss Ward Visited Home.
Mrs. Teal said Miss Ward was
a guest in her Park Avenue
apartment two or three times
and once visited her at her
Danbury Conn home.
Asked if she had told her son
not to bring Pat Ward to her
home. Mrs. Teal replied:
Il didn't tell him not to bring
her, but I did tell him I pre-
ferred he did not bring her"
She identified a picture of Miss
Ward sitting in Jelke'S lap at a
birthday party in his mothers
apartment in 1851. She also
identified pictures of Miss Har-
ris, who the State says once
travelled across Europe in search
of international playboys.
