George Weinberg, former "business manager" for "Dutch" Schultz, the New York racketeer who was "bumped off" two years ago, accused Hines of accepting $500 a week as a "political fixer" for the Schultz gang.

Weinberg caused a sensation in Court by adding: "I myself paid Hines $500 in front of his (Hines') home." The witness declared that at a meeting attended by "Dutch" Schultz and Hines, it was agreed to pay the
