Affidavits in "Dope Ring"
Probe in Omaha Are On
File at Washington, D. C.
Confirmation of Reports Police Officers Implicated
Emphasized by Report From Narcotic Chiefs
Office Resignation of Russell Eberstein Held Up
May Aid in Prosecution Here.
Confirmation of reports that th:
uncovering of an alleged Omaha
"dope ring" by federal narcotic op
eratives now in Omaha on assign
mcnt of the district office in Minne
apolis threatens to reveal imolica-
tion of Omaha police officers was
emphasized ye- rday when it be
came known tlu.: affidavits are now
on file in Washington in the office of
Col. L. G. Nutt, director of narcot-c
field work.
Colonel Nutt in Washington yester
day frankly admitted that Omaha
was regarded by federal operatives
as one of the worst spots in the
country with regard to illegal traffic
in narcotics.
The narcotic field chief, however.
refused to make known the nature
of the affidavits, which were foi -warded
to his office by Paul D
Keller, divisional orobation director
in Minneapolis, under whose direct
supervision the current investigation
is being made.
Eberstein Would Resign.
Until officials of the intelligence
unit of the Treasury department
complete the investigation now in
progress and make their reports to
Washington, no further information
will be given out, it was said in
Washington.
The resignation of Russell Eber
stein, former narcotic agent in
Omaha, has been held up, it is re
ported from Washington.
Russell Eberstein, who is the sou
of Chief of Police Marshall Eber
stein, was transferred from Omaha
to Detroit on May 1. He sent his
resignation to Col. Nutt over long
distance telephone from Detroit, but
he was advised to make the resigna
tion to his direct superior and that
it would be given due consideration
after its arrival in Washington
through regular channels.
May Be Needed Here.
Eberstein when in Omaha con
ducted investigations which centered-
around the same group of al
leged "dope" dispensers now being
probed.
Several of the men taken in raids
by the federal officers early this
week were prosecuted by Eberstein
when he was engaged in narcotic
work in this field, including "Johnny"
Moore, the alleged ringleader, who
only recently was released from the
federal penitentiary, and it is be
lieved this may be the principal
reason Washington was reluctant to
accept his immediate resignation. He
might be needed to assist In the
prosecution here.
Eberstein, in Omaha, worked out
of Revenue Agent Gillan's office
following a transfer from the De
partment of Justice in which he
served as an operative when his
father, now chief of police, was
head of the Omaha bureau.
Agents Continue Mum.
When Paul Keller was made di
vision superintendent, the narcotic
division was divorced from the Gil
Ian office.
Clyde Lake, who also went into
the narcotic division from the De
partment of Justice, left the revenue
service April IS, it became known
ycslecday. Lake is reported to have
provided affidavits, which are ex
pected to be of material assistance
in further inquiry into operations of
the alleged "dope ring."
The federal agents in Omaha con
tinue to be secretive as to their op
erations. Held to Grand Jury
Charged with illegal manufacture
of liquor, Frank Ranker waived pre
liminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Boehler this
yesterday and was held to the grand
jury on $1,000 bonds.
