NEW YORK, Sept. Confidential
police raiding squads tonight were
faced with booming numbers busi-
ness in a policy y-conscious town made
wise in the ways Of the game through
revelations Of the James J. Hines con-
spiracy trial.
Players in the courtroom drama had
a respite over the Labor Day week end,
with District Attorney Thomas e.
Dewey nearing completion OF his case
and Defense Counsel Lloyd Paul
Stryker preparing to combat testimony
OF gangland informers that Hines was
a part OF. and shared literally in, the
profits OF a 100000 racket.
No Respite for Police.
The holiday brought no respite for
police. who sought to combat a busi-
ness, the flourishing nature of which
was disclosed last night by two swift
raids on prosperous Harlem policy
banks" in which IL persons were ar
rested and thousands of policy slips
seized.
Magistrate Overton Harris, before
whom the prisoners we're taken. COM
mented on the marked increase in
policy cases since the Hines trial
started three weeks ago.
There were indications after the
raids that the Dutch Schultz formula
OF providing a "mouthpiece" for his
policy bankers is still followed in Har-
lem. Alfred Duf1us, %, arrested in
the raids. said he wished to speak with
his lawyer before pleading.
He did not know the name of the
lawyer. but supposed "the mouth
piece" was in the courtroom because
"a man named jim told me if I ever
got into trouble he would send me a
lawyer who would Ak me up

The lawyer did not appear and
Magistrate Harris held Duffus in
$500 bail after he and other de-
PENDANTS pleaded innocent. The 9TH
ers were held in bail ranging from
$500 to $1,000.
1t was in Harlem Magistrates Court
that J. Richard Dixie" Davis started
his rise in the underworld until he was
the "mouthpiece" for the gangland
empire of the late Dutch Schultz, a
connection which made him a star
witness for the State against Hines.
Davis was one of 80 witnesses who
have testified since the trial started.
Dewey indicated he expected to call
about 10 more persons before he con-
cludes his case.
