Erickson's Transfer
Of Oil Land to Costello
Under Intensive Probe
•y th« Auociatad Pnu
NEW YORK. May 19.—The dis
trict attorney’s office yesterday
won possession of secret records
showing an unexplained transfer
of valuable oil properties from
Prank Erickson, big-time gambler,
to another reputed top gambling
figure. Prank Costello.
General Sessions Judge John A.
Mullen said these oil properties
"could be used as a resource for
their gambling operations.”
Judge Mullen ruled that the
records—seized in a raid on Erick
son’s Park avenue headquarters—
could be used in a grand jury in
vestigation into the activities of
Erickson, who recently admitted
to a Senate committee that his
annual turnover as a bookmaker
is $12.5 million.
Checking on Testimony.
In Washington, the Senate gam
bling investigators disclosed that
they are checking Erickson’s tes
timony to see if there is ground
for perjury proceedings.
Erickson told the Senators he,
and Costello have « joint interest
in some Texas oil wells. Other
wise, the portly bookmaker said,
“he (Costello) don’t do business
with me.”
In the New York proceedings
Assistant District Attorney Alfred
J. Scotti told Judge Mullen "it is
a well established fact that Frank
Costello and Frank Erickson have
been close associates for a good
many years.”
Some Papers Returned.
Judge Mullen ordered some per
sonal papers returned to Erickson
but allowed the district attorney’s
office to keep records relating to
the oil transactions as well as a
number of other documents.
Mr. Scotti said the records
showed Erickson has oil properties
in Wise, Schleicher and Jones
Counties, Tex., and Love and
Payne Counties, Okla.
The prosecutor produced a letter
dated August 29, 1949, and said
it was written by Erickson to
James P. Breuil, Buffalo, N. Y.,
“attention Marie Thomas Ott.’’
The letter said:
“Enclosed assignment covering
one-quarter interest owned by
Prank Erickson in 154-acre Hal
man lease. Wise County, Texas,
requests that this one-quarter
interest be reassigned to the
following persons:
"Piank Costello, 115 Central
Park West, 4/48; George Uffner,
419 East 57th street, 4/48; Leonard
J. Erickson. 487 Park avenue, 1/48;
balance, 3 48, to remain in name
of Pi ank Erickson.”
No further details were given.
