Suspects


         For a year he did not leave his Los Feliz apartment - a victim of Hepatitis and melancholy. He drifted thereafter, but found work farther north in 1942 at an internment camp for the Japanese. He married Aioshi Ichikawa, an internee, and there were allegations after the war that Jake had run a ring of prostitutes in the camp for munitions workers in the area.
