Prosecutor Gerald X. O'Brien
opened an investigation today
into destruction, by mistake, of
more than $1,000 policy slips
seized as evidence in gambling
raids and held in. the police prop

The slips were intended for
use in the Polish Bank and Lin

1912.
OBrien said he would question
Patroiman George May, former

10 the fourth precinct. and Russell
Moody, police property clerk. May
signed the order for destruction
of more than 5000 tickets held in
the Polish Bank ease.
Some 1000 Polish Bank tickets
remain in police hands, however,
and OBrien said there was no
indication thaY loss of the others
was anything but an honest mis-
take.
Sgt. Sam Alexander admitted
