Defense Probes Past of Key Witness in Jelke Prostitution Trial
In New York the Jelke vice trial presses the defense argument that former call girl Pat Ward knew the score before meeting the heir. Ward recalls little about who gave a number in 1951 or why Merritt contacted her, while defense notes she dated or knew several known figures but none tied to Jelke’s clients. A tearful cross examination led to an overnight adjournment as Ward revealed aspects of her teenage life and past associations.
