ZUNDT FOUND INNOCENT.
hut New York Detectives May Yet
Make Trouble for Him.

Detective-Sergt. George V. Zundt of
the Brooklyn Central Office squad, who
was tried before Commissioner Welles
Yesterday on a charge of falling to pay
to the Police Pension Fund 10 per cent.
of the reward which was paid by
Charles NJ. Patterson, a New York mer-
chant, for the recovery of a diamond
pin of which he had been robbed was
officially declared innocent of the charge
this morning.
Zundt, however, is in a worse pre-
dicament 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 Iundt 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 LIS now out of my hands.
/! am not prepared to say what might
be done II the New York detectives
preferred charges arainst Zundt."

houses IN the city, and the police have
the name and description of each of the

at the foot of Atlantic avenue and on
