GUNSON ACQUITTED
ON BRIBERY CHARGE
Judge Rosalsky Reluctantly
Directs Action for Lack of
Corroboration.
DEPL0RES LEGAL FICTION
Every Citizen at Mercy Of
Crooked Cop He Says in
Comment From Bench.
DEPLORES LEGAL FICTION

Detective John J, Gunson, who has
been on trial on a charge OF bribery and
extortion, was acquitted yesterday by
jury in General Sessions at the direction
Of Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The cour:
held that there had been no corrobora..
otherwise Billie Howard except the
testimony Of Rose Gonzales. and that she
was an accomplice. James w OSBORNE,
counsel for Gunson, made the notion to
dismiss the indictment.
Judge Rosalsky. however, told the
jury that he was reluctant to direct them
TO dismiss the indictment. as he WAS
convinced that the women were telling
the truth. He recalled that he had ex-
pressed his opinion of Gunson in Other
cases which had come before him.
There is no doubt" said Judge Ro-
salsky that there were some relations
between this defendant and the peoples
witnesses, but the unfortunate situation
is that the law steps in and gives him
the benefit. / am compelled, much
against my win. to direct you to acquit.
I regret ;hat the arm of the law could
smoke and fire in this case that some ac-
tion can probably be taken by the Police
Commissioner.
You and ! and every other citizen
Is at the mercy OF a crooked cop. and
that type of policeman is menace but
even If that type of policeman comes
into a court Of justice he comes with
the presumption of innocence and the
law intended for the protection of the
innocent Immediately envelops him. safe
guards him and protects every right as
though he was the finest type of citi-
zen
When she had finished her testimony
against Gunson yesterday and had left
the court room. Rose Gonzales was ar
rested by Detectives McGee and Sheehan
on bench warrant issued by Magistrate
Jesse Silberman, charging her with hav-
ing jumped her $500 bail bond after
she was arrested a short time ago.
Gunson was indicted In March, 1920
when James r. Smith, Assistant District
Attorney, conducted an investigation
into vice conditions in the district OF
Inspector Dominick Henry.

Yesterday rebuked the Meyer commit

who was associated with Socialist so

declared that 1t was inconsistent for
the committee to retain the services Of
a man whose associates and activities
were condemned by Senator Clayton
r. Lus... member of the committee
and opponent of sedition.
Senator Schuyler NJ. Meyer chair
man, said the committee intended to
retain Lanes services even in the face
of the Legions opposition. Lane was
employed by the committee because he
IS an authority on sociology and his
work is getting facts. not eXpounding
his views. the Senator said.
In its rsoution filed with the COM
mittee. the legion refers to Lanes af-
fiiiation with the Free Political Prison
ers' Committee of the People Freedom
Union,'' and states he was one Of those
demand that all political prisoners be
freed and a 'so-called amnesty parade
for the benefit of agitators, radicals and
conscientious objectors-the cowardly

duties as did millions Of American citi-
zels."

Lanes authorship OF a pamphlet en-
titled Uncle Sam--Jailor,' published
b. the National Civil Liberties Bureau
attacking the Government, Is condemned
By the legion. The resolution continues:
"The report of Senator Clayton r.

Investigated red activities and now a
member of the Meyer committee. COM
nients on Lane in the records OF the
committee as follows: It is a curious
combination (referring 10 a society OF
which Lane was a member) Of so-called
liberal educators. writer's anarchists
and socialists, bending their energies
toward controlling public opinion and
the persons who have participated in
this movement are sowing the seeds OF
disorder and doing their part TO imperll
the structure of American institutions.
The legion for these reasons condemns
the retention of Lane BY the committee
regardless OF any qualifications he may
possess, and asks that Senator Meyer
employ members Of the legion as investi-
gators-"Americans in every sense of
the word who have not subscribed to the
workings of anti-Government activities.'
Questioned regarding the expense Of

Yesterday that the $4,000 which he
stated had been spent in the preliminary
