Columbus Police Payoff Charged
Federal officials charge that Columbus Ohio's police paid off gamblers with most vice squad members on the payroll. Assistant Attorney General Wilson testified that low level officers earned about 250 dollars monthly and superiors up to 500 dollars, with pressure from the chief of the squad to bring in a dissident gambler. He cited Nashville as another city with a history of police corruption and noted a 1964 case where two detectives ran a lottery. Captain Robert Taylor denied the allegations.
