on the force. However, in a surprise move, the jury did indict Van Wert Mullin, described by Federal authorities as Mitchell’s lieutenant, for allegedly giving $100 to Lt. Jeter on May 31, 1963. The policemen were indicted for allegedly taking money from the Mitchell operation to ignore the numbers racket. Mitchell was found guilty last month of income tax evasion and sentenced to five years in Federal prison. Mullin also pleaded guilty to the same charge and is currently serving 18-months. The indictments were returned at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, hours after Mullin was taken to the Federal penitentiary at Terre Haute. By 4:30 p.m. all 22 officers had surrendered themselves at the county jail where they were released on their own recognizance. Each indictment against them charges that Mullin was the man who gave them the money. Meanwhile, Marion County Prosecutor Noble R. Pearcy said Wednesday he was willing to talk to the indicted policemen to see if a “Mr. Big” exist as the top man behind gambling here. The “Mr. Big” aspect was brought to light by Mullin who

said, as he .was being shipped to Federal prison: “As long as it (the investigation) has gone this far, I hope they keep right on going and get some ‘big’ people in town.” HE WOULD NOT SAY who the “big” people were. Pearcy said he would call the grand jury back in sesion if any additional evidence were found to warrant a wide-scale probe of payoffs in any ranch of local government. The policemen were relieved of duty as soon as the indictments were returned and were scheduled to face the Board of Public Safety Tuesday. Chief Jones was denied use of grand jury evidence against the officers for the suspension proceedings. Judge Eugene Fife of Criminal Court I set April 17 as arraignment date for the policemen. The probe was called as a result of a raid last June 7 in which an adding machine tape, on which names of 24 policemen were listed, was taken from Mitchell’s wallet. Besides each name amounts ranging from $10 to $100 were listed. Lt. Woodall retired from the force a few hours before the indictments were returned. His retirement protected his pension rights. Others indicted in the probe were Capt. Lawrence Gigerich, Capt. Wilbert R. Gruner, Lt. Donald Burkert, Lt. James L. Mullin, Lt. Paul Pearsey and .Retired Lt. Francis Dux. Also Sgts. (court bailiff) Robert P. ALkire, James Brenton, George E. Corydon, Vincent Gatto, Jack Herman, William Hyneman, Robert Stiegelmeyer, Salvatore Rene, Thomas L. Carr and Retired Sgt. Charles Schaubhut. Patrolman Rosario C. Gatto (Vincent’s brother) and Joseph T. White were also indicted.

noon, April 11, in the Chateau Room of the Claypool Hotel. Mr. Hill, after nation-wide investigation, has taken the position that discrimination within the unions, and freezing out of Negroes from Apprenticeship training programs, are the ma-

ment and the fines was labeled as “cruel” by one of the defendant’s attorneys. ROBERT J. DOWNING of Chicago said the $65,000. fine was not only “cruel” but also violated the defendant’s rights under the 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments of the Constitution. The lawyer also said he was going to appeal the conviction Id the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. However wfien Mackey appeared in court last week for sentencing. Judge Beamer told him he OMBIt pay the fine and costs orgo to jail immediately. The gambling figure was Creed on $15,000 bond. Under the five-year sentence imposed by Judge Beamer, Mackey would ' e eligible for parole in about six months. Apparently taking his age in- . to consideration, the judge sens-1 ' tenced him under a statute : which allows him to be paroled any time at the discretion of ! the parole board. Without special provision, Mackey would have to serve at least 20 months or pnethird of the sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Mackey, whose trial lasted almost seven weeks, was given five years on each of the five counts, but the terms were made to run concurrently. The judge gave him a tongue lashing before the sentencing. Looking into Mackey’s police record which showed several arrests for gambling from 1940 to 1952, but no convictions in court, Judge Beamer stated: “Although you have not been arrested since 1952, you have clearly been engaged in policy activities, and although this is not a Federal offense, I had the right and obligation to look into your background. “IF IT IS A SOLEMN obligation for the good citizens of the community to pay their income taxes, there is an even greater obligation on those engaged in criminal activities to do likewise.” During Mackey’s trial, several court record marks were broken. Judge Beamer in February denied defense motions for acquittal of a new trial. Edward Stroh of Chicago is Mackey’s other attorney.
