MEN RETURNED TO CELLS lies a It Regarded by TVbltman s Most Important Yet Obtained 1 in Effort to Expose Work -of Police "System." NEW TORK.' May 6. Jame F. Thompson1. James E. ttussoy. John J. Martha and Dennis Sweeney, the four demoted police Inspectors, charged with conspiracy to obstruct Justice, were connoted by a Jury In the Su preme Court shortly after 8 o'clock to night. The accused officials stood outward ly unmoTed as they heard the verdict. The crowd In the courtroom, however, caused a disturbance, shuffling: chairs and feet until attendants checked the disorder. The prisoners were returned to their cells. Their counsel announced that a certificate of reasonable doubt would be sought, which would give the prisoners a chance to go free on ball bending: efforts to obtain a new trial. The penalty for obstruction of Jus tice Is one year in Jail or a fine of 50 or both. It was reported that the !ury required only one ballot to reach is decision. Keaalt Regarded mm Isaportaat. The conviction of Thompson. Hussey. Martha and Sweeney Is regarded by J4r. Whitman as the most important Bet In connection with his expose of she police "system" that was shown to Jink law enforcers with the city's underworld when 'Becker, the police lieutenant, hired the four gunmen to tntrrder Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, last Summer. The men were on trial seven court days. District Attorney Whitman and his assistants produced evidence to show that the four plotted to buy the silenc of "George A. Sipp, a resort keeper, through bribing him to flee the i-t ate last December, after he had told the aldermanic committee that was investigating; the police department that for years he .had made monthly payments to the police for protection of his resort. Before Mr. Whitman .had a chance to get Sipp to repeat this testimony before the grand Jury the hotelman took flight. On being returned to the court Juris diction he declared he had been bribed with $200 to leave. The prosecutor's Inquiry Into the story resulted In the Joint Indictment of the defendants, then inspectors. The state Introduced evidence tending to show that graft payments by Sipp reached the defendants, who In turn commanded the Harlem district, where fMpp's hotel was situated. The tribute was collected for Thomas Walsh, -who was captain of a Harlem precinct, and Walsh divided with the Inspectors ac cording to his confession. The amount of graft exacted was in dispute during the trial, but Mr. Whitman in sum ming up this afternoon said it was $42 000 a year In Walsh's precinct alne Walsh and Sipp were the state's chief witnesses. The prosecution also contended that besides the Sipp fund, a bribe of 15.000 was planned by the defendants to fur nish bail for Eusene Fox. a police man and to provide for his family If he went to Jail without "squealing." Fox awaits sentence for bribery as Walsh's craft collector, his confession terminat ing the necessity of a fund by the "system" to insure his silence. Other Iadletmemta Peadlag. Other indictments are pending acainst Thompson. Hussey. Murtha and Sweeney. Against the first three named are two each for bribery. Aeainst Sweeney are 13. also for brlb erv All have to do with alleged ac reptance of graft paid for police Pro tection. - District Attorney Whitman was non committal tonight as to his further procedure In these cases. In summing up today, however, he called the Jury's attention to the fact that the defend ants face further prosecution. He explained why he called the con spiracy case before trying the four individually on the bribery indict ments. "I wanted you to hear the testi mony of Captain Walsh and I think it Is apparent to you that he is in the valley of the shadow of death." Walsh confessed to grafting at a time when his physicians believed he was on his deathbed, a grand Jury tak ing testimony at his home- While this testimony was material in the ronspiracy case. It does not figure In the bribery indictments against Hus sey. Thompson and Murtha, according to the prosecutor. LONGSHOREMEN GET OFFER Shipping Federation's Proposal Sat isfactory to Jjeader.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 6. "It is the men of the country who must com bat the social evil." said Walter Sum ner, dean of Chicago St. Peter and Paul Cathedral. In an address today to the clergy and laymen of the New Jersey diocese of he Protestant Episcopal Church, in attendance on the conven tion in progress here. VTIme was when that was woman's problem, but no longer. It Is the duty of the church to remove the demand for such a gruesome business "as this, that smirches so many American cities. It Is. the duty of the men of the church."' ' Dean Sumner talked of social settle ment work as serious and not mere idle pursuit. He said that statistics taken In Chicago showed that 50 per cent of the young men are not healthy enough to marry.

A crowd of 200 persons was involved in a geieral fight which ensued when the attempt to rescue the woman from the officer was made. Alexander Rossi, accused by Sheriff Sullivan of being the leader of Denver's blackhand gang, was arrested. Crowd Quickly Gathers. On orders from the grand jury which Is investigating alleged police depart ment graft and vice in Denver County, Sheriff Sullivan arrested the Hart woman. ' A huge crowd gathered, though It was half an hour before midnight. Sheriff Sullivan fought off the rescuers and the call for the police was given. Meanwhile the crowd became riotous. The woman, loudly insisting that a regular city police officer be called. Is said to have told the Sheriff that she had "paid them sufficiently, but did not have enough money to pay him." Two plain clothes policemen are known to have been In the crowd, but neither offered aid. Aftef the Sheriff had waged his fight against those who would release the woman for 45 minutes, a man struck him over the left eye with a pair of knuckles. Sheriff SulltVan, releasing his hold of the Hart woman, turned upon his latest assailalnt.

' Sheriff Sullivan then asked the po lice officers to go with him to a near by hotel, where Rossi was under ar rest. Aa Rossi was placed in the wagon the Sheriff, with a hand cut and profusely bleeding, said:. "Gentlemen, there goes the leader of the white slave gang and black-hahd-ers in this city.

Two weeks ago Sheriff Sullivan made the charge before the grand Jury that the police of the city were accepting tribute from women of the underworld.
