JACKSON AND MLAUGHLIN AT BAR
Both Up for acknowledgements
Lawyers in Tiff.

Coroner Jackson convicted of attempted bribery
and Patrolman Frank Mclaughlin convicted of
manslaughter in the first degree, were up for sem
tence yesterday before Recorder Gof. In each case
sentence was deferred. The coroner appeared self
possessed, in contrast with his condition when the
verdict was announced on Thursday evening. He
and Mclaughlin stood together. The coroner's
counsel. Frank Moss, asked for a postponement
He intended, in any to ask for certificate of
reasonable doubt The Recorder set down the case
for February 10. Coroner Jackson was led back to
the Tombs, where he will stay for week, and pos
sbly longer.
When McLaughlin's taken up his law
yer. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. said in part:
do not believe that my client legally con-
victed. believe he victim of circuns tances.
He not convicted because he shot the negro
watchman Patterson, but because he was police
man. The recent efforts of the District Attorney s
Office to purify the police force have pTejudiced the
public mind against the police force TO great de-
gree, and l believe this feeling Affected the jury.
The Assistant District Attorney who conducted
the case, Mr. Mott. injected much eXtraneous mat
ter into the case rejecting upon the character of
the police force in general. ntimating t-lat there
existed s police bribery fund, from which Nc
Laughlin's expenses were paid, and even asserting
that my fee came from such fund
The Recorder gave counsel until February 10 for
briefs. Mr.. Chanler and Mr., Mott met outside the
courtroom and each denied the others statements.
