Lester drew another deep breath.
He had got old Socks exactly where
he wanted him.
"Thanks a lot, Socks. I knew
you'd help me make up my mind.
I'll go in town tomorrow, then, and
see her."
-She has left Southcliff?"
"So I understand. ... I may have
to stay up for a day or two but as
soon as anything definite Is settled
I'll let you know."

VIOLATIONS OF DRY
LAW OVERLOOKED
(Continued from page 1)
maintaining a nuisance were re
turned against Anselmo following
the 20 night club raids of June 29?
1828. The vigorous prosecutors sent
from Washington (and Mr. Tuttle
In one Instance) obtained criminal
convictions In 19 of the.se 20 night
club cases; but there was none in
the case of Anselmo. Anselmo re
ceived Immunity as a result of be
ing forced by Robert B. Watts, Mr.
Tuttle s prohllition assistant, 1 to
testify against dry agents accused
of accepting bribes.
Anselmo testified in the bribery ;
trial that liquor had never been '
found in his place or sold there
that he knew of (he had once con
sented to a padlock) and though I
tried to get him prosecuted for
perjury (a procedure Indicated In
he Volstead act for such cases)
there never was such a prosecution. ,
Let us have a brief record of An
aelmo's encounters with the prohi
bition law.
An.selmo formerly had his place
at 165 West 94th street, where the
record of raids and arrests (as of
May, 1929) was as follows:
Nov. 12, 1921 Theodore Spolas.
waiter. arreMed for possession and
sale; dismissed.
March 28, 1923 Peter Anselmo,
and Carlo Cianlne arrested in raid
In which liquor was seized; ease
dismissed by United States Com
missioner; United States attorney
filed Information, to which both
pleaded guilty; apparently still
pending.
Sept. 18, 1924 lllo Ansrlmo ar
rested; liquor seized: search war
rant vacated; case dismissed.
Jan. 29. 1925 Theodore Spolas
arrested; held for United States
district court; apparently no furth
er action.
Sept. 10, 1925 Liquor seized on
search warrant, preparatory to in
junction proceedings; no arrests.
MOVES IP THE STREET
Then Peter Anselmo moved to
IV, -159 West 49th street
Dec. 23, 1925 United States At
torney Bucknrr filed a bill of com
plaint affr Anselmo for padlock:
n pTemlsTs at 160 West 49th street.
When this unfortunate mistake In
address was discovered it was
' changed to No. 157-159, but It de
veloped that this amendment was
not authorized by the court. Suit
discontinued Feb. 5. 1926.
Feb. 4, )92 New padlock suit
started which resulted In six
months' padlock decree being ent
ered by consent of Anselmo, May
14. 1926.
Now begins the record of hap
penings under my regime and Tut
tle'. Dee. I, 1937 Peter Anselmo and
three employes arrested at 157-159
West 49th street during execution
of search warrant. Anselmo dis
missed on Jan. 12, 1921, by United
States Commissioner O'Neill; oth
ers held out pleaded not guilty.
Search warrant vacated by Com
missioner O'Neil on May 23; order
affirmed by Judge Bondy; defend
ants d Urn Used May 28. 192B.
HAIDl.D AGAIN IN Jl'NE
Meanwhile five of my agents were
obtaining new evidence of the saJe
of liquor at Peter's Blue Hour, and
it was one of the 20 places raided In
June.
Peter Anselmo was Indicted for
com piracy and maintenance of a
nuisance.
July 20, 1928 Injunction suits
started for padlock and against
Anselmo Individually on evidence
of many Tlolations from Dec. 6
1927 to June 23. 1928.
Nov. 27, 1928 Judge Goddard
signed Injunction closing first floor
of premises at 157-159 West 49th,
which also had second floor and
basement; order specified that It
should not affect Anselmo's plea of
immunity.
Nov. 28, 1928 Injunction modi
fied with consent of United States
attorney, removing locks and seals
from kitchen. Thus Anselmo could
conduct his restaurant business.
At this point I must complicate
the narrative by introducing the
bribery trial of Agents Palmer
Tubbs and Samuel Kupferman.
Kupferman will be remembered as
Representative La Guardias pro
tege, who had been reinstated In
1927.
Tubbs and Kuperferman were ac
quitted in August, 1928, and after
this trial Judge Meekins took oc
casion to comment sharply on the
practice of granting immunity.
Against them testified William and
George Ochendon, proprietors of
Billy the Oj-sterman's 7-9-11 East
20th street, and Frank Knesz,
former manager of the Gypsy Vil
lage club, 203 East 92nd street.
WINS IMMUNITY AGAIN
Peter Anselmo also testified at
the trial, and the United States
attorney maintained he had not
been given Immunity, but Federal
Judge Thomas ruled on May 2, 1929,
bar, that Anselmo, In being ques
tioned at the Tubbs trial, had re
ceived immunity from the indict
ment for conspiracy and maintain
ing a nuisance, for which my men
had carefully built up evidence over
a period of several months.
The first intimation I had of this
granting of immunity was when I
received from Mr. Tuttle a letter
"dictated by Mr. Watts," dated
June 27, 1928, and marked "Atten
tion Mr. Donovan and Mr. Biag
don." It said:
'Inclosed herewith are affidavits
sent to this office for the purpose
of securing temporary Injunction
on premises 7-9-11 East 20th street,
known as Billy the Oysterman.
"The padlock and criminal cases
made against these premises, con
cerning which these affidavits set
forth the facts were made by your
office, acting In agreement with the
special intelligence service and with
this office, for the purpose of forc
ing the proprietors of the said
premises to testify before the
grand Jury concerning . certain
bribes paid by them to Agents Kup
ferman and Tubbs.
"The witnesses having testified
as desired and haing secured Im
munity thereby, these papers are
returned to you In order that you
may close out your files and mark
both criminal and padlock cases
closed on the basis which I have
outlined."
SAYS TITTLE TOOK LETTER
A day or so after receipt of this
letter Mr. Tuttle happened to come
to see me In my office. I told him
that both Donovan and Brandon
had denied any participation in
this matter and I returned the let
ter to him. thinking that he might
like to recall it. Mr. Tuttle took the
letter with him. but In a few days
It was returned to me with some
other papers, so I presume he had
decided to let It stand as of record.
Tubbs and Kupferman wrre ac
cused of having accepted $300 to
fail to repfirt an alleged violation
MONMOUTH HAS
CITY CAUCUS ON
MONDAY NIGHT
Monmouth W. R, Graham, T.
E. Murdock, E. M. Ebbert and E
C .Cole comprise the citizens' com
mittee to assist the city council In
the formulation of the annual bud
get. The date for this work has
been act at next Wednesday eve
ning at I o'clock.
At the city council meeting held
this ireek. It was decided to Install
a different type or street guards
for Intersections, as much com
plaint has been made over the
hetglith of tlie half pumpkins now
in use.
Three new street light have also
been ordered installed; one at the
end of North Knox street, one on
W-st Church street, and one at the
corner of Ackerman and Mon
mouth avenue.
At the citizens' caucus to be
held October 13, city officers for
the coming term are to be nom
inated. John L. Murdock has been
officially appointed as Judge of
election, and Rev. L. H. Willard
and Ed Rogers will serve as clerks.
at Billy the Oysterman's, and dur
ing the Investigation by special In
spectors from Washington my
agents did make another cae
against Billy the Oysterman, which,
it developed, the United States at
torney did use as a club to compel
the two Ochendona to testify
against these two agents before the
grand Jury.
There was an interesting ex
chang of telegrams during the
Tubbs-Kupferman trial.
Mrs. WUJebrandt received a hot
wire from La Guardia, friend of
KuDferman, protesting that "gov
ernment's witnesses, according to
record, testify not only promsed im
munity for past violations but arc
now brazenly violating law daily.
Seemingly have assurance that they
received license to sell liquor Indefi
nitely as consideration testifying
this case. Am reliably informed that
District Attorney should immedi
ately padlock and prosecute these
places of witnesses who have testl- j
fled and boasted that they are daily
violating the law. I am not condon
ing Kupferman's conduct if testl- j
mony true, but such dealings out
rage all decency and Justice."
TELEGRAM QUOTED
Mrs. Willebrandt on Aug. 9. 1928.
quoted this telegram in a telegram
to Tuttle and went on to say:
"Please wire fully how much of
this Is true. Understand your office
wTote letter regarding some notor
ious case, saying case dropped be
cause of agreement between you
and prohibition administrator In
consideration securing testimony
against Kupferman, which letter
Major Campbell repudiated and re
turned to you personally, which
seems to bear out La Guardias
contention. Also understand you are
using Peter Anselmo as witness
Does this mean you are promising
immunity or permitting the law to
give immunity on Peter's Blue Hour
rase, recently made under direction
this office? Adlvlse u tnis condi
tion obtains on any other notori
ous places."
Mrs. Willebrandt knew abut Tut
tle's Utter because Special Assistant
Attorney General Morrison was
present at my office when I return
ed the Billy the Oysterman letter to
Tuttle. Morrison was expected to
nrosecute Peter's Blue Hour.
Mr. Tuttle on Aug. 10 replied to
Mrs. Willebrandt s tierrram as fol
lows :
"Kupferman anad Tubbs tried for
receiving bribes. Mr. Watts tells me
following are the facts. Testimony
given about three restaurants. Two
owners of first restaurant were gi
ven immunity before grand Jury
concerning day when alleged bribe
paid and concerning day thereafter
when raid made. Owner of second
restaurant had no violation and
was given no immunity and testi
fied never sold liquor. Owner third
restaurant was given immunity only
rnncrrninf? violation on two rinvr
when alleged bribe paid. He testi
fied on cross-examination to re
cent sales of liquor in eastern dis
trict, Peter Anselmo was witness
but received no Immunity or prom
ises whatsoever about present in
dictment and padlock. None of wit
nesses was given any Immunity or
promises concerning present or fu
ture violations, anad this office had
no knowledge of any such violation
by any of them until the testimony
at the trial. Intend to ask Camp
bell to secure evidence and will
immediately prosecute. This office
has not instructed prohibition of
fice here or anyone else to take no
action on testimony given at trial."
ANSELMO HAD "NO VIOLATION
Apparently the "owner of second
restaurant" who had no violation"
was Anselmo. And although it was
maintained that Anselmo had not
receieved immunity, Judge Thomas
ruled that lie had.
Although I believe there was suf
ficient evidence to bring Tubbs and
Kupferman to trial. In which they
were acquitted, I later reinstated
Tubbs on the strength of a recom
mendation written by Judge Mee
kins, w ho presided at the trial. J
don't know how the charges against
the agents were brought to the at
tention of the United States attor
ney; but In this regard I presented
personally to Mr. Tuttle on July 13
a special report by Agent John J.
Mitchell regarding a conversation he-
had (in the presence of Agent L.
M. Tyson) with Moe Kahan, alias
Levy, proprietor of the Furnace club.
After the June, 1928. raids. Levy
pleaded guilty and was sentenced
by Judge Thomas to serve three
months in jail and pay a $400 fine.
Agent Mitchell related the follow
ing conversation with Kahan (alias
Levy) on the night of May 13, 1928,
about a fortnight after Tubbs and
Kupferman were Indicted:
"He said that he was profession
al bondsman for Tex Guinan. Tom
my Guinan and John and Nick
Johnnidis; that just about a month
previous he had had occasion to go
on John and Nick Johnnldia's bonds
as well as 10 other employes of the
European Club. Agents Mitchell and
Tyson then told him that they had
cards for the European Club but
had not heard about any trouble
John and Nick got into and aeked
Kahan to tell them about It. !
"He said: "Yes, a couple of reve-
nuers had slipped in on John andi
Nick and "knocked them off. 1 He
had Immediately gotten them out
on bond and said: 'Now I have it
all fixed up."
INFLUENCE? "I HAVE"
'Agent Mitchell said: 'You must
have considerable influence."
"He replied: T have.'
"Agent Mitchell then asked: 'How
did you do It?'
"He said: T got the revenuers In
dicted.
'Mitchell then asked him: How?'
"He said they had accepted some
money, $300, from a man running
a club; that he had more pull than
any other club in New York.
Mitchell related that this conver
sation took place in the bar of the
Furnace Club and that early May
16, with Mrs. Tyson, they were there
again and talked to a man' who
said his nam was Epstein and that
he was Moe's partner. Epstein, said
Mitchell, told "practically the same
story about Moe's getting John and
Nick out of a Jam and added that
he helped Moe do It,

Monday Major Campbell brings
his series to a conclusion, presenting
bis view on what should be done
about prohibition.
