Lost Lustre. The decline began late last year when FBI investigators discovered that some Chicago policemen were involved in a scheme to shake down tavern owners in the city's North West Side Austin police district. Nine policemen -including two lieutenants and a sergeant-and two former policemen were indicted. Four have been convicted.
