Walter D. Van Riper
- ... that after New Jersey Attorney General Walter D. Van Riper busted betting rooms protected by party boss Frank Hague, Hague had Van Riper charged with check kiting and black market gasoline sales? Source: "Walter Van Riper, 77, dies in Florida", "As attorney general in the waning years of World War II, he became the target of Hudson County Democratic boss Frank Hague after he broke up Hague's gambling dynasty, centered in Union City. Hague, using his influence in the federal government, had a U.S. attorney charge Van Riper with violations of wartime rationing and check-kiting. Both charges ultimately were rejected by the courts."
