KORETZ TRALL MAY LEAD FAR (Continued From Page One) While investigating his business transactions, Klarkowsk! stumb'ed upon a “love nest” which Koretz had maintained In a Chicago apart- ment for four years. The dincovery revealed that Koretz had been lead- ing a dual fe, mingling with mil- Nonatres and peddling his fake oil stock by night and living with “an- other woman” during the day. He had a wife and two children in an expensive home across the city. “Koretz apparently had associar tions with many women,” Klarkaw> ski said. ‘One woman whom I ques tioned said, ‘I wasn't the only wo- mon in Leo's life. There were oth- ers. Why pick on me? “I feel certain that he aif not suspect his stock scheme would be found out but ran away because of women.” Klarkowsk! received his first tn- formation of Koretz's “love nest’* from the janitor of the apartment building. This man told authorities the man whose picture “appeared in all the papers as a swindler, had lived for four years In the apart- ment with a woman. They were known fn the neighborhood as “Mr, and Mrs. Albert Bronson’ this man told Klarkowski. ‘From al! I have learned of this case” the assistant state's attor attorney sald, “I believe Koretz was known In at least two roles. “From six o'clock in the evening, this man was a wealthy clubman, an extravagant millionaire. After his round of theaters and cabarets —after negotiating with many men to sell his fake ofl stock—he went home to his wife and children. “But in the day time, he was ‘Al Bronson’ travel!ng salesman of mo¢+ erate means, and kept an apartment with another woman.” Tho janitor told Klarkowski that “Bronson” and his “wife” were never home except in the day time. Befcre disappearing Koretz gave more than $300,000 to members of his family, explaining that they “some dividend,” This money is being turned over to authorities by the family “so that those who were harder hit than we will not suffer.” Koretz obtained several millions of dollars from friends and acquaint- ances through a “cometn" scheme, according to authorities. He never “peddied” his stock, it was said. but wrote letters explaining that he would “try to arrange to let you have a few shares, but T cannot Promise as there {s a great Cemand for them and it ts hard for me to get as many as I would like.” He entertained lavishly, kept up suburban home, showered his wife and children with luxuries, maintained several expensive auto- mobiles, and joined exclusive clubs. Due to his “high living.” it is be Meved he had less than $2,000,000 of his $5,000,000 swindle when he fled.
