$3500 SETTLES TURPIN SUIT

New York... British fighter Randy Turpin, who has had his shares of matrimonial woes, got hit badly for the sum of $3,500 on which he agreed to settle out of court the $100,000 damage suit glamor girl Adele Daniels had filed against him.

Turpin made the trip to this country purposely to answer Miss Daniels' much publicized suit and one which had all the makings of a very juicy trial. She charged that she was slapped around by him and then raped on September 24th, 1953 in her apartment on Manhattan's Riverside Drive.

Her attorney, J. Roland Sala, who handled the famous New York call girls' case in the Mickey Jelke trial, claimed that the settlement was very much against his wishes. He stated that he asked the jurors privately after the dismissal and they said they would have given Miss Daniels "at least $50,000."

The attractive brownskin Miss Daniels was pleased over the turn of affairs. It took only a 55 minute conference between the opposing attorneys and Judge Owen McGivern to settle the case.

Turpin's attorney, Sol Strauss stated: "We settled the case for $3,500 but the settlement constitutes no admission of any of the allegations in the complaint."
