MR TO SELL AGAIN
CHICAGO, Sept 27 A sys
tem through which Chicago
policemen were alleged to have
obtained as many as half a
dozen rake-offs on the same
case of whisky was revealed
today in the government's in
vestigation of the police de
partment, said by Chief of
Police Charles Fitzmorris to
contain 2,500 bootleggers in a
membershir) of 5000.
The request ,of the chief
that the 'federal authorities
help him clean house waa
placed before the federal
grand jury with a score of wit
nesses, most of them police
men testifying today.
Police Rob Cars.
One witness, according to
officials, explained the sys
tem.- Members of the police
force, organized in bands, he
said, would obtain information
as to shipments of whisky in
to Chicago and then, in uni
form, would rob the cars under
the pretense that they were
confiscating liquor. ,
The whisky then was sold at
fairly cheap bootlegging
prices. When the liquor was
delivered, however, a police
man always appeared ajd de
manded a substantial amount
from the recipient for protec
tion. After the sum had been
paid, other policemen would
raid the place and after col
lecting another fee, would
"confiscate" the liquor, re-sell
it and repeat the process
sometimes half a dozen times
before turning the whiskey
over to a favored saloonkeeper
for sale at high prices.
