‘Artist’ Held As Shakedown Artist

Forced Wife ‘Ground Offered Ci As New Pool Site

To Sell Self, Jury Charges

By United Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 25—A self-|

styled portrait painter charges today that he took in $1000-a-week from a stable of prostitutes that included his 26-year-old wife.

.A grand jury investigating

New York City vice conditions returned a 27-ecount indictment yesterday against Miles Leslie, 43, who allegedly operated a commercial love nest in a $300-a-month apartment just off Fifth Ave, Mr. Leslie has pleaded innocent, One count involved a seldominvoked law against forcing one’s own wife into prostitution. District Attorney Frank Hogan said Leslie served as “manager” for attractive prostitutes whom he lured from such drab jobs as waitress and elevator operator.

Vice Crack Down

Although Mr. Leslie promised them lots of money in their new profession, Mr. Hogan said, he kept most of their earnings himself. Mr. Leslie and his wife, Kath-| leen, were picked up six weeks ago as material witnesses when the district attorney’s office began a crackdown on a flourishing Manhattan vice racket that specialized in high-priced girls who sometimes made as much as $500 a night. Mr. Hogan said Mr. moved to New York last September with a list of prospective customers he bought from a man in Chicago. He set up his wife in a fashionable apartment and, recruited three young women to! work with her.

$5000 a Month

The first was Anne Klandt, 22, a waitress, the district attorney said. She turned all her earnings over to Mr. Leslie “to be, kept in a safe deposit box.” Miss Klandt, who with the others has been held as a material witness, told Mr. Hogan! she gave Mr. Leslie about $5000 in a month’s time, but when she | left his establishment last winter he gave her only $160. Ardis Driscoll, 26, a hatcheck girl in a Times Square dance hall, succeeded Miss Klandt as a] partner in the operation, Mr, Hogan said. When she left, Mr. Leslie enlisted a 17-year-old elevator operator. The girl, Mr. Leslie told her:
