At the morning session of the
court Erbstein said that he would
prove his charge that Detective
Alcock of the Desplaines Street
Station accepted a weekly salary
of SIS from Heitler.
Erbstein said he would produce
check from Ida Pickells to Al
cock for $40, and would show
that this money was given to Al
cock for non-suiting case
against the Pickells woman.
The case against the Pickells
woman was non-suited when she
promised to move from the West
Side. She has done so, and now is
in Gary, Ind.
Erbstein also limited that he
would prove that one command
ing officer and seven detectives of
the Desplaines Street Station ac-
cepted protection money.
Alcock and the other Des-
PLANES street detectives have de-
fed Erbstein to prove anything
of the sort.
Erbstein also referred to the
shake-up of the West Side police
