Commissioner Welles says that he is
convinced that Patterson was mistaken
In his impression that the police were
banded together to swindle him. but, he
says. that Zundt Is subject to discipline
for not paying into the pension fund 10
per cent. of the reward he received
from Patterson.
MIR. Patterson, who Is connected with
the firm of Austin. Nichols & Co., testi-
fled before the Lexow Committee that
he had been robbed of diamond stud

found In q Sixth avenue pawnshop.. He
where, he said. he met the other detc-
tiVes. The stone was produced, and he
was informed that he would have to pay
$6l go, the amount advanced upon 1t.
He did not have the money and Fund
loaned 1t to him. He gave Zundt 9
check for the amount. and another or
der for $5U, as a reward. The followinf
day he concluded he had been swindled
and stopped payment on the check fol
SCI. 80. From the testimony which h,
gave before the Committee It was in
ferred that Patterson believed that tn,
stone had never been pawned and tina
the detective had put UP Job to divid,
the money.
zundt has steadily declared that h,
gave part of the reward to the othe
detectives, and he has brought sui
against Patterson to recover the none!
he loaned him.
Zundt, in his statement declared tina
II there had been any crooked work II
the transaction, 1t had been done by Lam
and McManus. He said that he had ex
planned the conduct Of the New Yorl
men to Supt. Byrnes, and as a result
they had been reduced to the ranks.
McManus and Lang denied receiving
a penny from Zundt.
A high police official said to-day thai
