"You mind your own business," cried terrified Sam Weiner who, with Attorney Foley, had become convinced that his brother was being used as a lethal tool of gangland. Mastermind behind these midnight assaults and court scenes, believed the police, was one Joe Weiner (no kin to Poulterer Sam). Attorney Foley had him indicted with his seven henchmen.
