NEW YORK, Aug. 23, (AP)
George Weinberg, 3fl. once business
manager for the multl-mtlllon dollar
Dutch Schultz policy racket, testi
fied in supremo court today Ctty
Magistrate Hulon Capshaw agreed to
"fix" policy raid arrest for Tammany
district leader, James J. Htnea.
Crowning his previous sensational
testimony of having personally paid
Hlnes "500 a week In cash, and
sometimes higher." Weinberg said he
was present at a meeting when Mag
istrate Capshaw agreed, to "take care"
of a policy case for Hlnes.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. (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.
Thomas E. Dewoy, who Is prosecut
ing Hlnes on a charge of conspiracy j
in connection wnn me poncy or
"numbers game" racket.
"From the numbers game," Weln
taerg answered.
WflnherK said he made the "pay
ot" to Hlnes either outside, tho
political leader's own home or out
side his Monogahcla Democratic club.
Weinberg had been recalled to the
stand by Dewey In an attempt to
prove a direct link between Hlnes
and the Schulte syndicate.
