the Brooklyn Central Office squad who
was tried before Commissioner Welles
yesterday on a charge of failing to pay
to the Police Pension Fund 10 per cent.
OF the reward which was paid by
Charles NJ. Patterson New York mer-
chant, for the recovery OF a diamond
pm OF which he had been robbed was
officially declared innoce Mt of the charge
this morning.
Zundt. however, is in a worse pre-
dcament than he was before. He has
testified under oath that he acted as
agent for the New York detectives,
McManus and Lang. in taking the
money from Patterson. The New York
men feel very. bitter against zundt,
because he had them reduced to the
ranks. They may now come forward
and demand the $50, which. they allege
Zundt never offered to give them, and
which he himself admits they were
entitled to receive. Should Zundt re-
fuse to give 1t up, they might prefer
charges against him.
Asked whether anything further would
be done in the matter, Commissioner
Welles said:
The matter Is now out of my hands
| am not prepared to say what might
be done If the New York detectives
preferred charges against Zundt"
