Court; Bribes Described New York, Aug. 31.
Further incriminating evidence was heard against James J. Hines, former Tammany Hall Chief, on trial for protecting the U.S.$100,000,000 New York lottery racket of "Dutch" Schultz. The District Attorney, Mr. Thomas Dewey, today presented his chief witness, Mr. J. Richard "Dixie" Davi Schultz's lawyer, who testified that he had actually paid Hines large sums of money on behalf of his employer. r. Davis, who has turned State's evidence, not only said that Hines accepted protection money from the gang leader but used his influence in forcing judges to dismiss cases against Schultzs gangster in addition to waging a campaign to keep Mr. William Dodge, former District Attorney, in office.
The lawyer for the late gangster chief and a number of other persons were to answer charges of being involved with the lottery racket.
The dapper little lawyer who was apprehended only after a long man-hunt testified that he often had paid Hines on behalf of Schultz sums ranging from U.S.$250 to U.S.$2,000.
