IN zUN0TS FAVOR.
Decision in the Case of the Ac-
cused Detective.
Commissioner Don't Believe He
Tried to SwindIe Patterson.
Says the Sergeant Is Liable for
breaking a Police Rule.

Police Commissioner welles, of Brook
Ign, this morning, rendered decision
in the case of Detective-Sergt George
V. Zundt, who was practically accused
by Charles NJ. Patterson, before the
Lexow Committee early in September,
of being implicated in scheme to
swlndle him out of $50.
Commissioner Welles says that he Is
convinced that Patterson was mistaken
In his impression that the police were
banded together to sw!ndlc him, hut. he
says, that Zundt is subject to discipline
for not paying into the pension fund 10
per cent of the reward he received
from Paterson.
MIR. Patterson, who Is connected with
the firm of Austin, Nichols & Co, testi-
lied before the LeXow Committee that
he had been robbed of a diamond stud
while riding on an Elevated train in
Brooklyn. Supt. Byrnes placed De
tectives Long and McManus on the
case, and Detectives Zundt and Ma
loney were detailed from the Brooklyn
Central Office.
Patterson said he was visited by
Zundt, who told him his stud had been
found In Sixth avenue pawnshop. He
went with the detective to the place
where. he said. he met the other detc-
tivss. The stone was produced, and he
was informed that he would have to pay
$6l so, the amount advanced upon 1t.
He did not have the money and Zundt
loaned 1t to him. He gave Lundt a
check for the amount md another Or
der for S5v, as a reward The following
day he concluded he had been swlndled,
and stopped payment on the check for
80. From the testimony which he
gave before the Committee, II was in
ferred that Patterson believed that the
stone had never been pawned and that
the detective had put up job to divide
the money.
Zundt has steadily declared that he
gave part of the reward to the other
detectives and he has brought suit
against Patterson to recover the money
he loaned him.
Zundt. in his settlement declared that
II there had been any crooked work In
the trasactlon, II had been done by Lang
and McManus. He said that he had ex-
planned the conduct of the New York
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 that
formal charges would probably be made
against Zundt to-day.

USED S|PHONs As WEAPONS
How Druggist Vo1 Dessauer Dis
persed a Brooklyn Mob.
Two Policemen with Night-Stic
Were Unable to Do So.

A Brooklyn druggist has demonstrat-
ed that a slphon bottle of soda water
has far more persuasive qualities on a
mob than policeman's club.
The druggist is Angelo Won Dessauer,
of 379 Atlantic avenue. A few nights
ago he heard his child crying for help.
She was playing In the street, and
some of the other children were stuff
ing South Brooklyn mud into her ears
He spanked the other children, which
was signal for a couple of dozen men
and women to pile upon him.
His cries attracted two policemen, who
handled their clubs freely, but without
the desired effect The mob increased in
size. Rushing into the drugstore, Herr
Won Dessauer. grasped two siphons of
soda water and pointing them towards
the crowd, pressed the button. The soda
water got into the eyes, noses and ears
of the mob which scattered at once.
Michael LevisOn, one of the neighbors,
procured a summons from Justice Tighe,
who yesterday fined Won Dessauer $40
The two policemen, though notified,
failed to appear, and now Herr Won Des-
saur purposes to go cunning for them.
