Crime Counts
' NEW YORK, May 31H)-A
rackets-probing New York county
grand jury today charged bigtime
gambler Frank' Erickson with
bookmaking and conspiracy.
It returned a 60-couht informa
tion against the 54-year-old Erick
son who years ago tossed aside a
waiter's apron- to become in time
admitted boss of a multi-million
dollar gambling empire.
Conviction on the multi-count
charge carries a maximum penalty
of a $500 fine and a year in jail
on each count.
The jury's-findings climaxed an
investigation begun by the district
attorney's office in April, 1948 as
an outgrowth of an inquiry into an
attempt to fox a professional foot-1
ball game. . , 1
Bit by bit, the investigation
slowly pieced?! together evidence
linking Erickson to his far-flung
gambling operations. Then last
May 1, District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan's raiders swooped down on
the gambler's Park avenue office
and seized a truckload of docu
ments. . 1
The documents. Over the protests
of Erickson's counsel, were sub
mitted to thegrand jury.
