TRAPPING Of Z.
IN EXTORT|ON
CASE TOLD
Jury Hears of $50 "Bribe";;
Accused Detectives to Charge
They Were "Framed"

With the testimony of two police
lieutenants describing carefully
prepared trap that ensnared Harry
G. Bauer and Rudolph Schleichert,
suspended vice squad detectives,
into an accusation of eXtorting $50
from a bootlegger, the prosecu-
ton completed it's case today be-
fore Justice Peyton Gordon and a
Jury in District Supreme Court.
The witnesses were Lieuts. oscar
]. Letterman and Emil Desch. The
dry sleuths are accused of accept
ing $50 from Henry Milton, we'll
known bootlegger, as a fee for re-
framing from pressing liquor
charge against Alfred H. Dudley,
one of his runners"
Trap Described
Milton reported the reputed
graft demands of the detectives
to United States Attorney Leo A..
Rover, according to testimony,
and a trap was laid for them.
Dudley was given $50 in marked
money to deliver to the defendants
at Eighth and L Streets North
west, october 80.
The two lieutenants said they
were secreted with Capt. James
E. Bobo in a moving van across
the street when Dudley approached
the detectives, who were in a
police car. They testified witness
ing Dudley pass the envelope to
Bauer, who in turn gave it to
Schleichert.
Denied Getting Money
Bauer denied he had received
anything from Dudley, Letterman
testified, but when the detectives
were informed they were to be
placed under formal arrest and
searched, Schleichert took the en-
velope from his pocket and turned
it over. The marked money was
found in it, Letterman continued.
Lieutenant Desch's testimony
substantiated that of Letterman.
Defense Attorneys Harry T. Whe-
Ian and Joseph D. Kelly, who
have indicated they would claim
their clients were victims of
frame-up by the bootleggers, will
parade their first witness to the
stand later in the day.
Justice Gordon overruled peti-
tions for a directed verdict of not
guilty on behalf of Bauer and
Schleichert, following arguments
by Defense Attorneys Harry T.
Whelan and Joseph D. Kelly, and
replies by Irwin Goldstein and
John ]. Sirica, the prosecutors.
