Policeman Is Cleared
OF Charge He Took
Part Of Robbery Loot

A policeman accused of pocket
ing $1,225 during a search for
robbery loot has been exonerated
by an investigation proving the
charges groundless, Police Supt
Robert j. Barrett said today.
The investigation started after
woman sWore in an affidavit
given before an assistant United
States attorney that she saw a
detective handle the money in a
home in the 1900 block of Ninth
street NV. February 20.
Detectives were searching the
place for money still missing from
the robbery of a safe January %
in the home of Richard H. Beck
ley, SO, colored, a retired detective
sergeant living at 1900 New Jersey
avenue NV.
$1,000 Is Recovered.
Mr.. Beckley first reported his
losses at $4,000. but later pushed
the figure to about 100000 in cash
and $4,000 to $4,000 in jewelry
Only about $4,000 in cash was re-
covered. but police said two of the
three robbers used some of the
money to purchase a new Cadillac
a motorcycle and to make a down
payment on new home.
The investigation was headed by
Inspector Robert S. Bryant, who
passed his report along to Mai.
Barrett.
Refusing to detail reasons why
the policeman was cleared, Maj.
Barrett said the charges were
found to be utterly without basis
of fact. Maj. Barrett said the re-
port had been forwarded to George
Morris Fay, United States attor-
|ney, and that further details would
have to come from him. Mr. Fay
could not be reached for comment.
The complaint in the case went
before John Conliff, assistant
United States attorney. and swore
to the affidavit after first telling
her story to her attorney, Curtis
P. Mitchell.
Deputy Marshals Present.
She said that during a search of
the home she observed the police
men go alone to a closet and pick
up 1925 from a jacket. He then
reached into a boot and took out
a $1,000 bill, she swore. She said
she did not see what he did with
the money after that.
Present during the search were
deputies from the United States
marshars Office. They later called
the charges against the Metro
politan policeman unfounded.
The search was conducted in the
home of one of three men now
awaiting trial for housebreaking
and larceny charges in connection
with the Beckley robbery.
