Crime Group Questions Sheriffs on Gambling
The Keefeauver committee grilled Lawrence County Ohio Sheriff Peter A. Burke about ties to a former gambling casino. Burke admitted campaign funding from H M McCowan, city solicitor of Ironton, who once represented the Colony Club at Chesapeake and that gas and water bills from the safe of the club were charged to him. Berke said he did not know how the bills reached him and noted lax enforcement over 40 years, despite Gov Lausche's interest. He also identified deputy Maxine Lenz as wife of former Colony Club manager Clarence Lenz. The committee pressed Toledo Sheriff Timiney on horse betting income and alleged casinos moving from cities to counties. Timiney denied revenue from gamblers and defended his anti-gambling platform.
