Both are charged with bribery, | extortion and conspiracy to extort ! money from saloon keepers. | Further revelations in the beer- running racket were expected by the district attorney after Al Hen- drie, wartime aviator and now the confessed head of a beer-running crew, had testified in court that he, two of his brothers and others had bribed police to permit their beer trucks to roll through the streets unmalested. Hendrie's testimony was given a a hearing of William Frantz, sus- | pended police captain, and several | detectives, at which they were held in bail on charges of bribery and extortion. Frantz's bail was fixed at $10,000 and that of the others ranged from 0 to $1,500. Two of those held were members of the now disbanded Unit No. 1, a dry raiding squad that tunctioncd when General Smedley D. Butler was di- rector of public gafety. Brief Analysis In setting bail Judge Lewis made a brief analysis of the attitude of mind he had formed on the basis of Hendrie's testimony, and said: “All of this gang re and gang murdering goes hack to pro- tected bootlegging—an evil which will have to be wiped out. i “The detective bureau could have | put the gangs out of business any time. I am confident the widespread payment of graft money.to police was one of the reasons why pre- ventlve measures were not taken.” ONE-EYED GUNNER 1 CAUGHT IN IRELAND | fcon Most Sought After Man in Free State Finally Arrested By Police Cork, Trish Free State, Oct. 17 (#) —A one-man war in Ireland has come to an end.
