GRAFT PLOTS OF POLICE
Barred BY DYING SEER
Tells of Buying Protection
for S625 a Month-Found
Warrants Easily Evaded.

Frank H. Wolf, the clairvoyant, VINO
was arrested on Thursday and lodged in
Fordham Hospital, has given information
To- Frederick j. Groehl, Assistant District
Attorney. and to Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo. which is considered valuable in the
investigation into wire tapping and fort
tune telling graft. Wof's ailment is seri-
Gus. and he made his statements yester-
day with the knowledge that there was n
possibility that he was on his deathbed.
The information given by Wolf is SINH
lar To that which had been given To The
District Attorney by others, but, owing
to the circumstances under which 1t was
offered its value is enhanced.
Wolf is alleged TO have told Of paying
S625 month for police protection for the
three places which he conducted as Pro
fessor Sears"
The money paid 10y Wolf went TO an in
termediary, who has already told the Dis
trict Attorney much Of the dealings with
the police, and is said to have gone event
ually to Headquarters and TO a police
captain.
Wolf said that a man who had two fort
tune telling places i'm West 18th street
had been raided and driven out of Uusi-
ness because he refused to pay tribune,
and that the police allowed Wolf TO 30
into the vacant territory because he was
known TO be "sure pay"
For months he had been living in The
Bronx. Wolf said. and frequently talked
with detectives who knew of the issuance
of warrant for his arrest. They never
attempted To arrest him.
His arrest fourteen months after the
warrant had been issued he attributes to
the anxiety of the police because of the
District Attorneys investigation.
Philip Bocn, secretary of the Board Of
Magistrates, visited Wolf yesterday. The
result of his talk with the prisoner is
embodied in a report which Magistrate
McAdoo will send to the District Attor
ney.
Lieutenant Costigan was another visi-
tor at the hospital He tried to persuade
Wolf to return the $3.50 he is alleged TO
have obtained from Mrs. Francesca
