Wolf Won't Be a Goat"


sol" Wolf, the Columbus avenue liquor
dealer for one. Is said TO have told a
friend yesterday that ne wouldn't let the
nollc. or any one else make a goat Of
him
i've got my business TO think or and
YOU bet I'll think over the situation care
fully before ! decide what I'm going 10
do" was tho statement credited TO Wot.
Mr. whitman said yesterday that ne De-
lleyed the cases against Mailer and Du-
heller. as well as the case against Patrol
man skely. would result in convictions.
II f. no secret. too. that the District Al
torney homes 10 develop In the testimony
taken at those trials number or ind'ca-
tons as To the later and ultimate dosiAa-
lions OF the graft money.
OF the six men now under arrest-NoH'
Dubeller. Mas. Maicr and Patrolman FOX
and Skely-!n spite OF the fact that TIE
District Attorney believes he has convict
ing evidence against each, II Is thought
that any one who wants to aid the people
and can deliver information OF real value
I'm tracing up the graft may gain that OPP
portunity. OF the six named Wolf, Du-
heller and Fox are believed TO be the most
likely men TO break.
As I'm the Rosenthal case, however, the
District Attorney Is counting upon the
fact that the break" OF one induces a
similar move on the part Of others, and
with the opening wedge which the recent
indictments and arrests have pried into
the lower structure OF the police graft on
the vice system Mr.. Whitman feels con
Ndcrt OF stirring up the entire system.
With nothing more than the informa-
ton now IN his hands. If it can be cor
roborated sufficiently for court evidence,
Mr.. Whitman thinks he will be able to
land something more than zone little lieu
tenant" as the Mayor refers 10 the
Becker case.
