Dutch Schultz
Ex-Mouthpiece
Tells on Hines
XJ 13 X CSU11C3
Hines Got Tliousands
From Policy Mob !
Says Hines Got Release
of Policy Defendants v
From Courts'-
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-(A,)-J,
Richard (Dixie) Davis, the broken
mouthpiece of the once powerful
Dutch Schultz policy racket, swore
in supreme court today that Tam
many District Leader James J
Hines was paid thousands of dol
lars by the - mob and in return
fixed court cases and had police
men transferred .
The cocksure little disbarred
gang lawyer also said Hines Inter
ceded with the federal -govern
ment on Schultz's behalf when the
gangster, was a fugitive from in
come tax. evasion charges.
"Boy Lawyer"
Unruffled
Outwardly unruffled at his first
appearance on the stand, the bril
liant "boylawyer" who was In
dieted with Hines and pleaded
guilty, gave Justice Ferdinand
Pecora and the blue ribbon jury
a comprehensive picture ,- of the
operations of the' cunning Schultz
who .turned an old Harlem gam
bling game into a ?20,000,000-a
year, racket.
Corroborating the testimony of
Ueorge weinDerg, tne mob s bust
hess manager, who likewise plead
ed guilty to conspiracy and racket
charges, Davis testified:
That Hines, at the gang's be
hest, obtained the release of pol
icy defendants before .Magistrate
Hulon 'Capshaw;
That Hines did the same in an
other policy case, heard before
the,., late Magistrate Francis J.
Krwfn; i "-
Says Hines Picked
Dodge for DA
That Hines picked William C
Dodge, as his man for the district
attorneyship in the 1933 election
because Dodge was "stupid";
That in pursuance of this sup
port of Dodge he collected 630,000
- or more from the Schultz mob to
help finance Dodge's campaign,
and also' brazenly asked that
Schultz engage "floaters" to cast
thousands of votes for Dodge;
That Hines attempted to block
the appointment of Thomas E
Dewey, now prosecuting him as
district attorney, as special rack
ets prosecutor after Davis warned
him . that Dewey was "a tough
man," .
That 500 a week or more was
paid almost openly to Hines for
"protection."
Davis testified finally that
Hines "saw" the lawyer-. Max. D.
Steuer, when Schultz. was a fugi
tive and asked him to visit the
then U. S. Atty. George Z. Medalle
to see if he could compromise the
case for Schultz. Medalle, Davis
said, refused.
f Davis' declaration that Hines
arranged for the transfer of sev
eral policemen who had taken
part in raids on the policy banks,
corroborated Weinberg's recital of
a strange tale of Intimidation and
conniving, and also supported the
testimony of four or five of the
policemen who testified they were
transferred to remote districts ap
parently because of their raiding
activities, although no reason was
given them.-

of the city.
CIO warehousemen and their
employers still were deadlocked
in a dispute which has closed
more-than 150 bay. area plants,
but the latter disclosed today
they were giving "serious con
sideration" to the latest and
modified union peace proposals.
The union settlement plan pre
viously had been rejected by the
employers. Today, James ' Reed,
president of the association of
San Francisco distributors, said
the proposal was being consid
ered as a basis of future nego
tiations. Reed made the an
nouncement in declining an invi
tation from , the union to have
an association speaker appear .at

night. ' '
The ' maritime situation also
showed improvement. A. E. Roth,
