Last October, Doyle was arrested in Los Angeles on a charge of illegal entry of the United States, on the ground that" he supplied false information when applying for a visa. Doyle had previously fought in London where he rushed at his opponent, Eddie Phillips, hit a post, and knocked himself out. On his arrival back in New York he found that Mrs. Godde had repudiated their romance. Later he was supposed to be wooing a corn-plaster heiress and in the Mid- ! night Sun night club, he was punched by Eleanor Troy, a "strip-tease" artist. He then announced that he was flying | to Hollywood to meet an ale heiress i who was going to Reno to seek a \ divorce., After his arrest in Los An-1 geles he was released on bail and given until January 13 to leave the country.
