While Judge Charles c. Mott in Gem
eral Sessions was sentencing Policeman
Cornelius ]. Flood to Sing Sing yester
day to a term of from three to seven
years for second degree manslaughter
the first conviction resulting from the
Whitman investigation, the January
Additional Grand Jury was hearing evil
dence presented by tile former Governor
that led to the indictment late in the
afternoon of John Fitzpatrick. formerly
head of the police motorcycle squad
Two indictments were returned
against Fitzpatrick, who until the
shakeup in his squad following the
Whitman investigation wes a detective
sergeant. He is charged with accepting
unlawful fees for the recovery of stolen
automobiles. Yesterday afternoon he
attended the funeral of former Detective
Sergeant William Ii. Thompson of the
motorcycle squad, who died Monday
while under indictment for accepting
unlawful fees. Fitzpatrick went from
the funeral to the Criminal Courts
Building, where he furnished S2,5o0 bail
and was released.
Just before Fitzpatrick appeared
Flood was able to furnish $4,000 bail
following his sentence, Judge Mott hay-
ing granted a certificate of reasonable
doubt on application of William J. Fal-
Ion, his counsel The conviction will be
appealed. Flood was found guilty by a
jury Friday of the killing Of James
Gushing. 15 years old. on July IA. 1918.
The indictments against Fitzpatrick
raise the total to twenty since Mr..
Whitman began his investigation.
Fitzpatrick, now doing patrol duty. is
charged with accepting fee Of $50 on

patrick did not turn any OF the money
over 20 the proper authorities for an al
lotment OF 90 per cent Of the sum to
the relief and pension funds.
When Judge Mott sentenced Flood he
scored the police for what he believed
was q resort to unwarranted violence in
making arrests. Flood killed Cushing
while the boy was on q tenement roof
with companions flying pigeons.
'Tf police officers cannot keep order
without resorting to undue and uuwar-
ranted violence on their own part" said
Judge Mott: 'if they have TO break the
law to preserve the law. then the police
force is a failure. Therefore, I say this
conviction Is saiutary example to the
police force of this city"
Robert A. o'Brien, who was indicted
with Flood in the Gushing killing, was
released from the Tombs yesterday in
$1,000 while awaiting trial.
