DA Reveals Wiretap Put On His Phone
Erte District Attorney Herbert Whig Jes revealed yesterday that a wiretap had been placed on the DA's home telephone. He said the device was removed and sold, with no determineable responsible party. Johnson, involved in bribery cases, suspected the tap after hearing unusual noises and noted marks on a line near his home. Investigators used portable recorders, but no taps were found. Wiretapping is not illegal in Pennsylvania without law. Johnson favors controlled tapping with court approval and warrants. Legislation proposing such control has been introduced in the state legislature.
