Chicago, June 5.-Isadore Wexler,
confessed burglar, was put on the
stand by the prosecution today in the
trial Of former Chicago police offic-
ers for alleged graft. Former 1aptain
James O'Dea and former Detective
Sergeants Michael Weissbaum and
Frederick Roth. are the defendants.
Wexler halted the trial today when

a cent Judge Dever ordered his
bailiff to summon the police and half
a score roughly dressed men hurried

Wexler was on the stand most of
today. He testified that he gave
Captain Storen, $500 after the captain
called him to his office and demanded
the sum. Wexler said the five hun
dred dollars were the proceeds of
burglary.
Regarding Weissbaum, Wexler said
the former detective sergeant had OBJ
tanned Wexlers acquittal on a bur

alibi after the burglar walked away
