From san Corresponien, o. The Tribune

Albany. Jan. 10 John j. Hartigan,
former New York patrolmsn. who WAS
convicted of perjury in the Harlem
police scandal in 1913, was to-day re-
stored TO citizenship by Governor
Whitman. Hartigsn was paroled in
December, 1914. after serving twenty
months OF minimum sentence Of two
and half years.
Despite the fac. that II was through
his activity as District Attorney of
New York County that Johnny Har-
tigan WAS sent 20 Sing Sing. Governor
Whitman has never failed to take ad-
vantage OF an opportunity OF showing
his friendship for the man who, by de

Governor Glynn 20 pardon llartigan,
and sent a personal representative to
Albany TO add his plea for clemency TO
those made by Justice Seabury. who
sentenced Hartigan. and eight Of the
Jurors who convicted him.
When George 4. Sipp. former Har-
lem hotel owner. disappeared after he
had made statements duplicating In
spectors Sweeney. Hussey. Murtha and
Thompson in a graft collecting ring
District Attorney Whitman began an
investigation that resulted in the locst-

Brought back 10 New York, Spp SAID
that he had been paid 5000 by Patrol
man Fox, who said the money came
from Inspector Sweeney and Captain
Tom Walsh. now dead, 20 leave the
jurisdiction Of the court. Walsh said
he had received the money from
Sweeney. and had sent it by liartigan,
who was clerk for Walsh at the East
l26th Street station, to Patro man Fox.
Hartigan denied before the grand
iury that he had taken money from
Walsh to Fox, and was convicted OF
perjury.
II was never charged that Hartigan
WAS a CRATER. but il was charged that
he lied TO save his bosses. Hartlgan
always declared his innocence. When
he was sent away only the charity OF
Harlem friends kept his wife and boy
from want.
He was released in time TO be with
his family az Christmas in 1914, and

not admit that tic charman's interpre-
tation Of the charter provisions was
correct
The troublesome question Of q new
county court house came up. The Mayor
declared that the project had not been

Judges, the Courthouse Board and GER
tain members of tho State Senate.
"Witn the city so near the debt limit.
is u good economy for II TO construct

"The S26000.000 includes interest"
replied the Mayor. "The cost OF the
site was slI 100000. Of which the city
can save about s3,00O000 by the sale
Of excess parcels. The building will
cost within Sl0,000.000. making the
whole expenditure about sls.500.O OO'

Estimate has not decided whether 20 90
ahead with the project, postpone the
erection OF the building until an easier
financial condition exists or abandon
the pro iect altogether
The Mayor explained that real estate
men had estimated that the city would
be able 20 get only about so per cent Of

tha' the loss in interest would amount

the Mayor said. and it would cost
81 100000 20 remodel the old court
house. To rbandOn the site now would
mean 20 lose almost IA much as II
would cost to erect the new building.
Senator Brown suggested that II the
building Of the courthouse was made n
county charge, instead Of city charge.
the city would be relieved Of a large ex-
pense and the building would be put up
cheaper. Controller Prendergast agreed
with him. The Mayor said the plan OF
putting the cost on the whole city was
in accordance with precedent estab-
lished in the other boroughs.
The Mayor and the Controller agreed
that legislation changing the time for
collecting the city's taxes from May
and October to January and July would
be advisable, as il would save the city
from s4,O0O,00O TO s6,000,000 interest
annually on borrowed money.
