(AP) George Weinberg, 36, ex-convict and onbe business manager of the multi million dollar Dutch Schultz "policy empire." testified In supreme court todny Tammany district leader James J. Hlnes promised "protection" from police raids on Harlem policy banks. "I paid Jimmy Hlnes $500 a week and higher for protection," Wein berg said. The witness testified during one of his frequent "pay oif" mectingn with the politician, he talked to Hlnes about the police. "What did you say to Hlnes," anked Dlst. Atty. Thomos E. Dewey. Too Many Arrests "I told him there were too many arrests." Weinberg said. "Hlnes asked If there was some particular cop causing the trouble," tho witness continued. "J told him I didn't want to have any cop broke." By "broke," he explained, he meant having a too-persistent arresting of ficer sent "out into the sticks" to some dreary outlying post. "Hlnes promised he would try to do something about the police," Weinberg went on, "and later the number of arrests In policy bank raids decreased. "Before our talk, the arrests aver aged about 20 a day. Afterward they dropped to maybe four, five or six a day." Racket Paid draft "Where did the money to pay Hlnes come from?" asked Dlst. Atty.
