Cleveland Policy
Raid Uncovers
$305,000 Cash
Negro Preaa International
CLEVELAND — Policy raids are
turning up daggering aums of money
theM day*.
Several months ago police res|Kin(l-
ed to a call for help from the widow
of a Chicago policy operator who had
Buffered a heart attack. When they
reached tho home they found money
aeattered all over a room and In a
closet.
Here was ao much money, In fact,
that when the loot waa all counted, It
totaled $750,000. Federal and locnl
author! tiea quickly impounded the
money, which represented earnings
from the operation of two policy
wheels by Lawrence Wakefield. Wake-
field did not recover from the heart
attack and hia policy fortune has
touched off a virtual war between his
white widow, relatives and authori-
ties.
I4st week here In Cleveland, a
similar case developed Involving an-
other policy kingpin, one Wilbur
Dean.
Dean waa aupposed to be running
a legitimate record-selling business
at two locations here. But when the
feds and local police raided his east
side home, they found lota of loot.
Three hundred and five thousand dol-
lars worth of it, to be eiact.
With all that money on hand, the
authoritiea naturally wanted to know
how Dean came by it and the general
feeling was that it was from policy.
In fact, that wa. what the raid wns
all about.
The money was found In 51 bun-
dles of 10., 30s, and 50s.
The cope, who were armed with a
acerch warrant, mult have found
sufficient evidence, too, because they
took Dean and several other jiersons
Into custody. They were released later
In $500 bond each for trial later.
