A "woman in the case" added a bizarre feature to his arrest and brought criticism upon the police department in view of the fact that no other charges were placed against him. No charge was placed against the woman by the federal authorities owing to the fact that

they were there on prohibition work;.

Tipped Off Coming Raids

Johnson's place was not far from

that operated by Clarence Aichele

said to be a brother-in-law of Captain of Police William G. Zwick, who is alleged to have tipped off all contemplated fake raids on Aichele's place. Aichele admitted that "everybody knew he had been selling whisky over the bar." This, of course, included Captain Zwick, Chief of Police Moeller and Mayor Hosey. the man with the "changeable mind." Yachon a Disgusting Offender

Captain Zwick is known to be in-

timate with Special Officer Vachon, ! of the local police department, who

i is now at liberty on a $2,000 bond, he I having been one of the first to be

j caught in the dragnet thrown out by ! the federal officers. Vachon is one j of the most disgusting offenders to have been caught in the recent drive.

He is charged in sworn affidavits now in the hands of federal officers to have purchased liquor at Jake Weideman's place and entertained women with liquor at Poinsett's saloon. His treachery has aroused the ire of all decent people In Fort Wayne and the federal officers. After spending some time in jail he was finally bound over to the federal

grand jury. His ai-jest has seemingly per

turbed Al Keller, chairman of the

board oi' safety, to a great extent, who was quoted as saying: "I don't believe they have anything on anybody as far as the police department is concerned." Keller is said to be the "bogey man" who was used by the business man who said he would

have a certain woman "run out of town" because she would not contribute to the delinquency of young cirls in whom the business man was "interested." Since the threat, the police are said to have kicked down the door to her house a number of times but have never arrested her. Keller's attitude on the raids against the organized vice of Fort

Wayne which has operated under the

eyes of the police department, is much the same as expressed by

Mayor Hosey, who stated that "while police officers take an oath to uphold

federal laws they are not bound to do so." The mayor is belittling the raids and to all appearances is taking no interest in them and to date it has not been made public what move, if any, has been made by him toward investigating his police department.

Affidavits Against Police Affidavits are now in the hands of the federal authorities in which it is sworn that polfcemen of the city force have been present while liquor has been bought and sold. These affidavits carry the number of the policemen's badges. Despite the fact

that the raids have now been under way for a week the most sensational

developments are yet to come and indictments striking at the very

heart of the city administration are

expected daily. That a complete

shakeup in the police department

will result is not to be doubted.

Charles Nahrwald, 1814 East Pon-

tiac street, city policeman, until

about a month ago, is alleged to have made a statement that he made

$8,000 since January 1 and twice that

amount last year and had to resign "to give more attention to his liquor

trade." There is a warrant out for

his arrest, it is understood, but officers have failed to locate him up to this time. Mayor Seems Anxious Mayor Hosey, who fought the Klan

in every conceivable way, -and who went fishing on Memorial day after promising to preside at the exercises held by the veterans of the civil war, telephoned Special Officer Vachon, immediately after his arrest, and is alleged to have said: "For God's sake, keep your mouth shut." Just what the mayor meant or why he showed so much anxiety

is a matter that is being looked into at this time. Despite the mayor's outward air of unconcern, it is, to the mind of the layman, impossible that he

should have no knowledge of the

awful vice conditions that exist and j have existed in Fort Wayne during his administration. Otto Newman, who operates a place at 626 Harrison street, said that he sold liquor "because everyone else did," and that it "was nothing to be a bootlegger in Fort Wayne." This statement was made at practically the same time that Chief of Police Moeller was telling the people of the city that his department was "doing its level best." Such twaddle, however, can not be

forced down the throatB of the citizens of this city. Women have been seen and heard

to solicit liquor trade on the streets

of the city and in the presence of

uniformed policemen without any an

Young Girls Drunk At Jake Weideman's place on the Lincoln highway. It is a well-known fact young girls, some as young as 14 years, have been found drunk night after night, and although the sheriff of Allen county has arrested him many times, he is always turned over to police court and let off with a light fine. At his notorious place the sale of

liquor was continued in spite of the warrant issued by the federal offi

cers. Weideman was out of town when the warrant was taken out to be served and a few days later, his daughter and bartender, John Kelly,

were arrested on gaming charges

when the raiding squad found gam

bling of all kinds going on. Just before they were. taken in on the gaming charge, a federal officer bought

booze over the bar, and immediately after they had paid fines given them on gambling charges, the federal officers went again to the saloon and arrested bartender John" Kelly on a liquor charge. Girl Admits Liquor Sale Weideman's daughter seemed to be possessed with fear and anger at the proceedings, but did not deny the sale of liquor. When Harry Schwarts, alleged bootlegger, was asked if he thought it would go hard

with Weideman on account of al

lowing the wholesale drunkenness of

young girls, he said "Well, Jake has been cutting down on that here

of late, but he should not have per

mitted the sale of liquor after the

federal officers began to clean up."

The roadhouse offenders are not taking the recent arrests with as much complacency as of yore, owing to the fact that their protectors will

have little to say when the bootlegging fraternity members come to trial. It is known that many of the city police frequent both Weideman's

place and that of Ernest Haines, located about half a mile nearer town.

It is alleged that Lieutenant of Police George Eisenhut, Plain Clothes Officer Bouchard, and Motorcycle

Officers Kirkpatrick and Carey visited Haines' place, were cordially received and invited upstairs by the proprietor. It is known that Haines always keeps plenty of girls around the place and as the federal net tightens and new evidence is being

daily brought to light, the police force as a whole is beginning to squirm at the thought of what is likely to happen at any time. Sees "Handwriting on Wall" One member of the force now

stands ready to swear to the fact that nineteen policemen to his

knowledge are selling liquor, it is alleged. It is understood that he made

this statement when he saw the

'handwriting on the wall," and ex

pects to get off with a light sentence himself for the evidence he might turn in.

Whether Detective Sergeants Fred Fry and Charlie Eisenhut, who are alleged to be peddling "hooch" for the former's brother, are on the list

of nineteen, is not known at this

time. - -

Another shock was handed Chief

"Stewey" Moeller when the word

went the rounds that some of the women in the radius of the red

lights were beginning to talk. After hurried conferences, Captain of Police Zwick, according to one of the

women involved, sent a certain phy

sician to warn them to keep quiet or they would be closed up. As the

threats seemed to be of no .avail, the police bosses are changing their

tactics, it is alleged, by promising

added protection if the women would

not tell certain facts that they are in possession of. In fact, the city officials as a whole seem to be in

such a position that they will promise anybody most anything if they can be helped out from under the

fire that certainly must be, where there is so much smoke.

Police Maintain Watch

One woman claims that the police

have had a twenty-four-hour watch

on her house for the past month in

order to get something on her to

use as a club over her head in event

she "squealed" on them.

Otto Newman, operating a place at 623 Harrison street, said he sold

whisky because everyone else did,

and that it was nothing to be f bootlegger in Fort Wayne." New

man, who was arrested by the fed

eral officers, and is now out on $2,000 bond, was arrested in 1922 and given

a $100 fine and thirty-day sentence;

but -did not serve the time. Emmett Casso, who operates

place at 1709 Lafayette street, is alleged to have made the remark that

Jake Wiedeman gave him permis

sion to sell liquor and "staked" him when he started up. People are

wondering just where Jake Wiede

man got the authority to give anyone

"permission" to sell liquor. Casso, who started in business less than a year ago "without a cent," is now reported to have property valued at several thousand dollars. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel Is the source of much criticism following the attitude it has taken. Its

editorial columns have long reeked with venom in denouncing the Ku Klux Klan, but its readers think it is high time to print the news aB it really is. Klan investigators took affidavits

to the office of the News-Sentinel and

showed them to Managing Editor

Arthur Remmel, who flatly refused to

print one word that would indicate to the public that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan had anything to do in

helping to clean up the rotten sys

tem of bootlegging, graft -and vice. The act of Remmel reflects the un-

American attitude of others con

nected in high places with that paper.

Newspaper 'Withholds Truth The News-Sentinel "Purity Crusade," wherein that "pinnacle ot righteousness" and "symbol of chastity" has been bombarding the present administration, turned ont to be a farce when it was learned that its

Droeram was not a sincere effort to

belo clean iu conditions, bat instead

was merely for political aspirations

of the future. This same "joke book" came out with a wild and startling tale as to the methods of the federal officers in trapping the offenders, but' failed to mention the fact that at that time, eighty-two out of the one hundred and ten affidavits on hand were turned in by the Ku Klux Klan, the main object of the article seeming to be the holding of real news from its readers. The good citizen of Fort Wayne is beginning to decry a situation of this kind, where his home town is corrupted with vice and his own

newspaper will not tell him the truth about those who are helping

him in his effort to better such re volting conditions.

On the other hand, however, it is relief to look upon the work of

Sheriff Lewis C. Bobilya, the only local officer that seems to know the meaning of the word "duty." It is to be regretted that the sheriff's juris

diction does not cover the city, but he is doing a laudable work outside the limits.

Bert Morgan "Lfloks In" Bert Morgan, chief of the Indiana

dry forces, arrived for the first time

last Thursday and got "all peeved

up" when asked by a Klan invest!

gator for a statement concerning the

work of the organization in aiding

his forces. "I appreciate your co

operation-," said the chief, "but I will positively give out no statement of any kind whatever."- When asked

the reason for this attitude, his explanations led the organization men

to believe it' was because he wanted all the glory to go to Bert Morgan. When it was pointed tout that the

Klan had furnished an overwhelm

ing amount of evidence, had paid

stenographers for making out practically all of the warrants, had furnished all machines to federal offi

cers for raiding purposes and as

sisted them in every way possible, he merely said: "But I don't see

why you should want to take any credit for It." Mr. Morgan is evidently not a believer in "credit where credit is due." While the Klan is not out for praise but to clean up Fort Wayne, this fact should in no way interfere with the prohibition head in Indiana showing appreciation for being aided in doing something that he could not do with his own men. At least it

is supposed that he couldn't do it as it never has been done before in

Fort Wayne where an interlocking set of rings control the destiny of

the city. Girls Lured to Downfall

It is hard to believe that Mr. Mor

gan did not know the situation as it exists in Fort Wayne, it has been

pointed out. It is only logical to

assume that inasmuch as Mr. Mor

gan believes the Klan should receive no credit a thing which it Is

not seeking the local, police department should receive no discredit for not attempting to stop the vice that is daily luring young girls and young men to their downfall in this city."The Klan," said, an investigator, "will be able to survive Mr. Morgan's refusal to give to the people the truth as to who is responsible for the crusade against the organized vice in Fort Wayne which is crushing the lives of girls just entering their teens and ruining hun

dreds of promising young men each

year as the tentacles of the vice octo

pus tightens about them.

It is believed that several more

weeks will be spent in rounding up law violators and that the crusade

just started will not stop until those higher up in the game- will feel the

strength of the law when enforced

by conscientious officers backed by

the better citizens of this city.

Rich Haul of Private Liquor One of the most startling develop

monts in connection with the raids

in this city was the arrest of Sam

Wolf and the confiscation in his home

of $15,000 of private stock, claimed

by Mr. Wolf to be his own private stock of liquor purchased before pro

hibition went into effect. Mr. Wolf

was the head of a large department

store and one of Fort Wayne's fore

most citizens, known for his philanthropic work and kindly attitude

toward all, naturally comes a3 a great shock to the community.

He will undoubtedly nave tne opportunity to explain to Judge Anderson just when the liquor was purchased and for what purposes it was being held. In the meantime, citizens of Fort Wayne, while generally looking askance and voicing considerable criticism, are open minded on the subject to the end that

Mr. Wolf receive full justice. However, it is felt that the investigation will involve other large, so-called private stocks, and further opportunity will be given all to explain their Dosition: In fact, this is anticipated

in be the next development In the

clean-up program at Fort Wayne.
