More Fresh Each
Day.

John Hartisan Convicted Of Perjury

on Next Tues

United Press Leased Wire Servicel
NEW YORK, March 15.-District
Attorney Whitman won his first court
room battle against the police graft
ers today when Patrolman John Har-
tigan, the bribe carrier and alleged
collector for the indicted inspector,
Dennis Sweeney, was convicted O..
perjury before Justic Seabury in the
criminal branch of the supreme
court. He was remanded until Tues
day for sentence.
The Importance of this victory was
recognized by court, jury, prosecutor
and defenese. Had Hartigan been
acquitted, the cases against Inspector
Sweeney and the other police officials
would have been weakened.
Hartigan was only cog. 1t was
his part, according to the prosecution
to carry the bribe money from Swee-
ney and Captain Walsh to the law
yer of George sipp, the Harlem resort
keeper, to keep sipp out Of town and
prevent his testifying before the al
dermanic investigating committee.
sipp had been paying protection
money for years and his case was
pivotal
Hartigan was convicted mainly on
( Walsh's testimony. The police cap
/ tain in his confession declared Harti
gan had brought him the sfpr none,
| from Sweeney. Hartigan had denied
this on the stand. Out OF his denial
came the Indictment.
District Attorney Whitman was
elated by the victory 1t cleared the
road to the work yet remaining and
