Lake County racket probe eyes $2000 a year prosecutor
A Senate Rackets Committee investigator said Lake County Indiana prosecutor Holovachka paid 43 599 in cash for a home while probing alleged pinball gambling rackets run by Sohacki and Welbourn. The pair invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to say if they bribed officers or worked with Holovachka. Verplank, Gary Crime Commission head, said reformers failed to gain government support and that threats against his group occurred. He noted a private investigator found 64 gambling and prostitution sites.
