CONVICTED OF HIDING
A SECOND MORTGAGE
Sentence Delayed for Light
on Legal Points.

One Of the most unusual charges Of
grand larceny ever made In this city
came TO light yesterday when David
Llnder. contractor of 13i9 Fifty-second
street, Brooklyn, appeared before Judge
Thomas G. r. Grain in General Sessions
for sentence.
Lindcr sold a house 10 one Oscar Fish
back upon the representation, II was
alleged. that the only cncumbrance was
a $4,000 first mortgage, and that IL sub
scquently developed that there was a
second mortgage on the premises.
The conviction OF Linder provided the
first instance In which such n transac-
tion has resulted in conviction. Fran
els VI. Scott. former Justice OF the Appel
late Division OF the Supreme Court. and
Joseph Il. Truesdalc, his attorneys. will
ask that he be released upon a certifi-
cate or reasonable doubt.
In view OF the fact that certain mem
bers Of the jury had recommended
clemcncy and that Linder has borne a
good reputation in his business for
twenty-three years. Judge Grain post
poncd sentence until Monday, on which
day there will be general argument
upon the legal points involved.

TRIAL OF DETECTIVES,
DELAYED YEAR, READY
One Case on Calendar Is
Times, Other 25.

The trials of Police Detectives John
j. Gunson, Joseph Maioney and Fred
erick p. Franklin. indicted in March.
200. on charges Of bribery and extor-
ton, We're marked ready" by Judge
Grain In General Sessions yesterday.
Gunson's case has been on the calen-
dar sixteen times and Frankln's
twenty-three times. The trials have
always been put off at the request OF
the District Attorney. The reason is
supposed to have been that Assistant
District Attorney James L. Smith, who
obtained the indictments and woulG
naturally try the cases, is himself
Under indictment returned by tho
Almirall Grand Jury.
Franklin said yesterday: ~ don't

The complainants against the detcc-
tives are women, who say they paid

another postponcment the trials should

other speakers answered the objections
as fast as they were raised, and when

Preparing Brief for Legisla-

ASSAILS THE NEWSPAPERS

ASSAILs THE NEWSPAPERS

Senator Hiram W. johnson, the lay
administrators special counsel III
charge of its fight against Gov Miller

DAYS work in the Office OF the Corpora
ton Counsel. announced last night mat
he is preparing brief to present 70 .le
Legislature and to the courts, II neces,
sary. The former action is expecteu
Tuesday, when he will go 10 Albany 10
appear at the public hearing on the "oN-
ernor's measure.
The Senator declined to express an
opinion as TO whether he thought the
bill would pass, but said that he Is pre-
pared for any eventually.
Senator Johnson expressed his dlsap-
pointment at the manner in which ne
has been received by the New YORK
newspapers supporting Gov Miller That
attitude he said. was because ne mas
undertaken a fight against 'intrenened
power and exploiting corporations" he
added that he was particularly dis
pleased because some newspapers had
SO worded their accounts Of his advent
into the transit situation as to give the
impression that he was .'boasting of what
he expected to accomplish" The Senator
denied any such attitude. He reached
this conclusion:
THE press has become menace TO
the Republic, and that Is one OF tie Pi
lens which has got to be met. The
rress has become subservient to power
and as result has lost its influence
with the people"
He renewed his objections to the
Miller bill on the ground that II 1t
passed It would open the way for similar
legislation in other States. His opinion
is that the transit measure is an out
growth of the war
"Still." he added. lit must be remem-
bered that there are people in Washing
ton who think that the people have the
right to govern themselves, whether
they do 1t rightly or wrongly
Mayor Hylan made public yesterday a
letter from Justice John Ford of the
Supreme Court. expressing satisfaction
over the Mayors selection of Senator
Johnson His participation in the con-
test" Justice Ford said will be
peculiarly serviceable at this time. 1t
will demonstrate to Republicans in and
out of the Legislature the insincerity
of those who are now seeking to win
Republican support for the Miller scheme
on the plea of party allegiance" He
added that he knew of no one better
fitted ito unmask these hypocrites" and
that he is peculiarly fitted in his legal
attainmentS."

said, but there is good market for
them
How did you dispose Of them?" the
Judge pursued.

He Is Harry Greatcatch-says that S

third street. He admitted having taken
two cars. valued at s., 200 and $500, from

Judge Mulqueen sent him back TO the
Tombs to await sentence and said that
Mr.. Whitman would be apprised of
what the prisoner had testified in court.
The murder trial of PatroInlen Flood
and O'Brien, indicted for the killing of
James Gushing, boy of sixteen, on
July IA, 1918, was to have started yester-
day. but was postponed to Monday by
Judge Grain. Assistant District Attor-
ney Brothers, representing Mr.. Whit
man. explained that William J. Fallon.

William J. Lahey joined the police
force in 1SSS-thirty-three years ago.
He had reached the rank of inspector
and was in charge Of the Tenderloin
district at the time of the Becker up
heaval Assistant District Attorney
Jim Smith, then as now, an aid of Mr..
Whitman's, raided hirty-five disorderly
and gambling houses in his district.
This caused Commissioner Waldo TO
transfer Lahey TO Chinatown. Waldo
himself led another raid. and Lahey was
moved to The Bronx. Commissioner
Arthur Woods reduced him TO a cap
taincy and sent him to precinct duty.
He was vegetating in the Old slip sta
tion when John L. Hylan became Mayor.

merely wrote TO the Underwriters Detec-
live Bureau. acknowledging receipt of the
check, and did nothing more.
BY the production of this letter before
the Grand Jury Mr. Whitman was able
to prove that Lahey had received the
check. BY the cancelled check itself he
was able TO prove that Andrews cashed
IL. And by the records of Police Head
quarters he was able 10 prove that ap-,
parently no entry regarding the reward
or the check ever was made.
Mr.. Whitman believes he will be able
10 establish that this was only one of
many transactions OF this sort. In fact,
he estimates their number as running
into the thousands Commenting on the
Lahey indictment he merely said that
the accomplice in the acceptance of an
unlawful fec was equally guilty with the
man who got the fee, and added this
significant sentence:
This charge may seem small. but .he
Grand Jury has not finished its worE
by any manner of means"
In the language of the indictment
Lahey and Andrews are together ac-
cused "of the crime OF asking and re-
ceiving and eonsentins and agreeing 10
receive a grltuity and reward and prom
ise thereof other than such as was au-
thorized by law for doing and perform
ing an official act"
The indictment also says; William

ously aid ana abet George J. Andrews
