White Cops Fired on Graft Charge PETRIE AND PRUITT TESTIFY THAT OTHERS TAKE MONEY - John Walker Is Mainspring Of Investigation - Two white detectives, Clifton Loeffler and Bernice Pierce, were dismissed from the police department Wednesday by Director of Public Safety Dunlap Wakefield on charges of graft made by Frank Boone, one time "big shot" in the Honor racket. A number of colored witnesses testified about graft by police officers but the deciding factor against Loeffler and Pierce was the finding of marked money on them twenty minutes after Boone had telephoned the Director that he had paid them money. When Boone made his complaint that he had been paying the detectives for protection Mr. Wakefeld gave him the marked money to pay them when they called again. When called in the marked money was passed on the detectives. They claimed Boone gave them the money to buy some cigars after they had done him a favor. Boone testified he had been paying them for weeks to stay off his liquor selling. Chief of Police Callahan blamed John Walker for going over his head to the Director of Public Safety. Walker said Boone and others had complained to the Victory Democratic club of which he Walker, is an officer and he [introduced?] Boone to Mr. Wakefield Messrs John Petrie and Earl Pruitt, also officers of the Victory Organization, testified they had received complaints from members that police were taking money Mr. Petrie is sanitary inspector for the the city and Mr. Pruitt is connected with the Home Owners' Corporation. Brent Overstreet represented the detectives but did not have the luck with this administration when colored people complained about white cop's persecution. The officers of the Victory Democratic Organization stated that they had told members if they went into any illegal business they did so at their own risks. Director Wakefield acted romptly in dismissing the detectives after the meeting. Now that they are fired all the underworld tells how "rotten" they were. Two colored cops testified to their "good character."
