Grand Jury Exonerates
Ii. Cooper on Activity
In Gambling Case

1t. George (Two CUM Cooper
of the Traffic Division was cleared
by the grand jury yesterday of all
charges connected with the isSu-
ance of two gambling warrants in
November, 1850.
The grand jury investigated
after 1t. Cooper was fined 500 in
January by a Police Trial Board
that convicted him of conduct
prejudicial to the best interests of
the police force. He was brought
before the trial board after he tes-
titled at the trial of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Gitelson, who were charged
with gambling law violations.
The grand jury report said 1t.
Cooper was cleared "of all charges
in connection with the investiga-
ton into circumstances leading to
the issuance of warrants against
Louis and Ester Gitelson."
1t. Cooper was assigned to the
robbery squad when Mr.. and Mrs.
Gitelson were arrested. At the
Trial Board hearing Mr.. and Mrs.
GitelSon said Lieut.. Cooper came
to their home before warrants
were issued for their arrest with
James j. Martin of the 1900 block
of Fourteenth street NV. Mr..
Martin, the Trial Board was told,
demanded payment of a gambling
wager.
Mr.. Martin told the Trial Board
he had telephoned a race horse
bet to the Gitelson home and was
told later that the wager came toe
late to be eligible for payoff
Mr.. Martin said he told Mr.. Gitel-
son to pay him $500 or face
prosecution. He told the Trial
Board he asked Lieut.. Cooper tc
accompany him to the Gitelsor
! home because the officer was q
: friend.
