Federal sleuths show evidence of Chicago police collusion
The Herald and Examiner reports secret federal investigations over the last month reveal alleged collusion between Chicago police officials and politicians and gambling operators. Indictments may be prepared for conspiracy to violate the Volstead Act as saloon owners are said to pay protection money to high ranking officers. George E. Johnson, U.S. district attorney, declined to comment beyond noting interest in recent gang killings tied to prohibition. Meanwhile a separate bombing near the Bertselie-Zitta-Skidmore faction headquarters followed a police captains meeting called by Chief Michael Hughes to curb the gang war and shut down vice districts, with the mayor pushing for decisive action.
