Trio Preparing to Go to
Court of Appeals in Effort
for Reinstatement.
MURTHA GIVES $1,000
BAIL IMMEDIATELY
Counsel for Sweeney and Thomp.
son Promise to Put Up Bonds
This Morning.

Three OF the police inspectors convicted
Of conspiring to keep George \. Sipp. one
OF District Attorney Whitmans police
graft witnesses out Of the state. walked
out of Blackwel's Island prison yesterday
at the expiration OF their years term,
paid their $500 fine and came to Manhat-
tan.
ExInspector John j. Murtha went az
once TO the Criminal Courts and gave 81 900
bail on TWO indictments charging bribery.
Dennis Sweeney and James f. Thompson
had some trouble getting bail and their
counsel notified Assistant District Attor-
ney Embree that they would give them
selves up on the bribery charge this morn
ing.
II is understood that the trio are pre-
pairing an appeal on their conviction from
tho Appellate Division to tho Court Of
Appeals in the hope that a reversal will
enable them 10 get reinstatement on the
police force Reinstatement will be i'm
possible as long as they are under indict-
ment
District Attorney Whitman said last
night that he was unprepared to push the
bribery charges 10 trial Sweeney, he
said. would probably be released to-day
on own recognizance. as the death Of
Captain Thomas +. Walsh. chief witness,
had weakened the peoples case against
him There are twelve indictments
against Sweeney. yet he may escape being
tried at all. An indictment for bribery is
pending against James L. Hussey, the
fourth inspector who got out of prison
last Friday when the Appellate Division
reversed his conviction.
The District Attorney did not insist on
the rearrest OF Murtha. Sweeney or
Thompson Yesterday. BY arrangement
with their counsel they were to appear
before Justice Davis in the Supreme
Court. and furnish bail. Alfred J. Talley
and Arnold H. Davis counsel for Sweeney
and Thompson. thought that the old bond
of 5000 furnished when they were in
,licted for bribery held good. II was too
late 10 arrange for bail when they found
their mistake. SO Assistant District At
torncv Embree notified their counsel that
they could have until 1890 o'clock this
morning.
II is known that the District Attorneys
motive in refusing to quash the remain
ing indictments against the quartet is
based on his determination that they
shall not gain reinstatement TO the police
force through the courts. For that reason
