Palmer was the only witness In
the case.' He explained to the
court the. finding of the broken
bottles. .. .

"Margett has a lot of friends In
the department." Rockingham said.,
"I don't doubt but what some of
them are playing with him. The
Job Is to. get the goods on them."
Sergt. Putnam and his men have
been ambitious to land Margett

That trr&ft of from $50,000 to $80,000 a month in protection ,
money paid by bootleggers, gambler and rooming house proprie
tors will be exposed if tke dry squad is again given a free hand to -follow
up the arrest of ex-Policeman Margett, made in a raid
early Wednesday at 5500 First Ave. S. was the statement of Ser
geant Putnam. ; t-.;; ":: ;':T, ;
"At least 300 hotels, rooming houses, soft drink establish
menU, negro clubs and gambling houses are ODeratins in defiance
of the law," he declared Wednesday. , ,. .
A month and a hair aaor the dry sauad had the hauor situa
tion pretty welt in hand. J '
Today, with all these places runninsr. it is certain that the no.
lice, or at least members of the department, know about them and
are not trying to suppress them. ,
"Any citizen can figure out what amount of protection paid by
these 300, or more, places must be if only as little as $100 a month .
is paid by each. Twenty-five dollars a week is not excessive, con
sidering the high price of booze. f
If the dry squad had not been hampered in almost everv con
ceivable way, its raids tipped off, its telephone tapped, and threats
of personal violence circulated many of these from within the de
partment conditions couldn't have become as thoroly rotten as
they are now." .
