The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, by @ unanimous vote, affirmed the finding of the jury, but by a simi- lar vote reVerved the conviction of Hussey and ordered his discharge. It was a hollow victory for Hus- Bey, for on Monday next he would have completed his sentence sayway. Like the other three he was/entenced to serve @ year in the itentiary and to pay a fine of District-Attorney Whi imme- diately arranged to put Hussey on trial’ on two indictments charging bribery found last March 27. HUSSEY WILL NOW GO TO TRIAL ON FELONY CHARGE. It was merely a misdemeanor of which Hussey and the others were convicted, It is a felony for which Hussey will now go on trial. The reversal of the misdemeanor convic- tion would have made it possible for Hussey to claim reinstatement in the Police Department, with back pay. Francis L. Wellman, counsel for Hussey, arranged with Mr. Whitman immediately after the announcement of the decision to have Hussey re- leased from the penitentiary at once. Mr. Whitman waived the notice of two days which he could have de+ manded, but required that Hussey be brought before Judge Rosalaky in General Sessions to give bail on the pending indictments. This had been wet at $10,000 when Hussey entéred his plea of, not guilty to‘them, but Mr. Whitgltn consented to a reduce tion of ball to $2,500. Hussey is the only one of the four who will be tried again. No ingict- ments are pending egainst Murtha or Thompson and, as announced ex- clusively in the Evening World W nesday, the death of Police Capt.

When they got af- teen feet ahead Stevens turned and fired four shots at the policeman, Btack replied with eix bullets, but missed. ‘The fugitives ran a block and at Madison street McHenry turned into that thoroughfare and had gone a block to Throop avenue when he saw Policeman Wynn.
