NEW YORK POLICE
GIVEN A NEW BLOW
-Four Ex-Inspectors Guilty of Bribine
Graft Inquiry Witness to
Flee.

New York, May S.-James F.
Thompson, James E. Hussey, John ].
Murtha. and Dennis Sweeney, the four
denoted police inspectors charged
with conspiracy to obstruct justice,
were convicted by a jury in the SUI
preme court on Tuesday.
Only thirty-eight minutes were Ia
ken by the jurors to reach their YER
diet that the defendants were guilty
OF a misdemeanor in plotting to keep
a prospective witness against the ''sys-
tenn from making graft disclosures
before the grand jury.
The prisoners were remanded for
sentence and returned to their cells.
Their counsel announced that a GER
titicate of reasonable doubt will be
sought, which would give the pris-
oners chance to go free on bail
pending efforts to obtain new trail.
The penalty for obstruction of JUS
tiee is one year in Jail or a fine Of
$780, or both.
The men were on trial seven court
days. District Attorney Whitman and
his assistants produced evidence to
show that the four plotted to buy the
silence of George A. Sipp, a resort
keeper, through bribing him to fee
the state last December, after he had
told the aldermanic committee that
was investigating the police depart
ment that for years he had made
monthly payments to the police for
protection to his resort. Before Mr.
Whitman had chance to get Sipp
to repeat this testimony before the
grand jury the hotel man took fight.
Upon being returned to the courts
jurisdiction he declared he had been
bribed with 81, 1000 to leave.
