...Manhattan, some of the harsher facts of life finally caught up with 23-year-old Playboy Minot F. Jelke. Flexing his jaw muscles nervously, "Mickey" Jelke, pudgy heir to an oleomargarine fortune, last week heard a blue-ribbon jury pronounce him guilty of enticing 19-year-old Model Pat Ward into a life of high-priced prostitution, and of attempting to duplicate this success with onetime Hatcheck Girl Marguerite Cordova...
