      The Sillecks Are at It Again
      He's Not Responsible for Her Debts

      For the second time, Henry Garrison Silleck 3d, socialite, flier and nephew of the late Jacob Ruppert, has plunged into print with one of those "I will not be responsible, etc." ads. The target is his attractive wife, the former Virginia Cobb. Silleck, now a captain in the 3d Reconnaissance Squadron stationed at Orlando, Fla., said today that she had been "running hog-wild, piling up debts, in the stores."

      "She's taken my personal belongings we had stored in our old home at Northport, L. I., which is now rented," he said from his home at Brae Head, Greenwich, Conn., where he's on furlough. "I came up here from Orlando to answer her separation suit and keep her from confiscating my clothes." . Answering her charge that he had failed to support her, he said, "She has refused my pleas to live with me at various stations to which I have been assigned in line of duty, so I did stop supporting her. Now I can't find her,"

      Silleck was secretly married to Miss Cobb in 1934 after he and his first wife, the former Adelaide Slosson, whom he married at 19, were divorced. He inserted his first blast against her in the papers in 1938 but they were reconciled.
