Attorney seeks name of informant in Pulaski gambling raids
John J. Purtle, attorney for four of 12 arrested, said he would ask former State Police Director Lynn A. Davis to name the confidential informant whose information led to the raids. Subpoenas were issued for Davis and Maj. J W. C. Struebing to appear in Circuit Court. Davis refused to name the informant when questioned by the Pulaski County Grand Jury, and prosecutors object to exposing the informant unless material to the defense. The defense argues warrants were defective for not naming the informant and demands cross examination.
