police inspectors
ARE FOUND GUILTY
NEW WORKERS CONVICTED OF.
HAVING CoNsRiRED TO OBJ
sTRUcT JUSTICE.


New York, May z. Until sentence
!. is passed IN Friday, no one knows
just what move will be made by coun-
sci for the defense in the case of the
four former police Inspectors -Sween-
ey, Thompson, Hussey and Murtha
all found guilty last night of conspir-
aoy to obstruet justice. Each faces
a year in prison and each is also un-
der indictment for bribery. 1t was
intimated at the district attorneys
office today that it may rest with the
defendants themselves whether or
not they are to be tried on the brib-
cry charge.
If their lawyers make fight
against the verdict just returned it is
understood that Distric, Attorney
Whitman will press the bribery
cases, which involve a felony and car
ry, on conviction, much heavier sen
tence than the prisoners now face. If,
on the other hand, the defendants ex-
plate the crime Of which they now
stand convicted, MIR Whitman may
not push the remaining cases.

Gomez and carranza TO Unite.
I'll Paso, Tex. May francisco
Vasquez Gomez is expected to enter
Mexico soon at Eagle Pass to con-
fer with Governor Carranza, accord
ing to word received by the EI Paso
constitutionalist committee. The
meeting between Madero's former
Washington agent and the command
er-in-chief of the present revolution
in Mexico is looked on with much sig
nificance. It is proposed, say heads
of the movement in Chihuahua and
Sonora, to combine the constitutional
ist element with the following Of
Vasquez Gomez, which was lost to
Madero when the two men disagreed
after the taking Of Juarez two years
ago.
The power Of yasquez Gomez in
southern Mexico states is admitted to
be strong, aside from the political
popularity of his brother, Attorney
Emilio vasquez Gomez, who repre-
sents still another wing Of the radical
party.
Neither of the Gomez brothers has
accepted Huerta as provisional presi-
dent.
