The culmination of Marcy's efforts was the arrangement whereby Maxwell Police District Plainclothesman known as "Smokey" was paid $50 per month in order to overlook the 26 game.. ‘The same ‘source advised that Alderman D'Arco on other occasions had referred him:to Pat Marcy in order to eliminate competition from Maxwell Street sidewalk consessions, which were in effect individuals without licenses who sold their wares in the street. Marcy settled the dispute, for which he demanded several hundred dollars per year so long as the settlement was binding. The unique method of payment to Marcy came about when the source was assessed several hundred dollars for tickets to the Democratic organization's picnic, usually held in the‘summertime. Tickets were 50 cents per and Marcy simply collected enough tickets to cover the several hundred dollars, which was in fact payment to Marcy for settling the above-mentioned dispute. ~ On August 24, 1962,.source advised that an individual closely associated with Pat Marcy had informed him that Marcy had given orders for all of the "Strip joints" in the Icop to be temporarily closed down with the exception of three.

Marcy explained that "they" have about 10 to 12 million dollars invested in the Sahara Motel and that "they" are trying to get as much convention trade to the Sahara as possible. "They" figure that if they temporarily cut down some of the strip. joints which attract conventioneers to the Loop area of Chicago and to Loop hotels, many of the conventioneers flying to Chicago and landing at O'Hare Field will go to the Sahara . Motel nearby to conduct their convention business. Marcy I inicated that plans are to keep the Loop areaaof Chicago as far as "outfit" controlled strip joints as quiet as possible temporarily in order to build up business at the Sahara Motel, - 36 - DoclId: 3272789853 Page 3
