Convicted
NEW YORK--Hulan E. Jack, the nation's highest-paid elected Negro public official, was convicted yesterday of charges he conspired to hide the fact he accepted a $4,000 apartment remodeling job from a white real estate man seeking to do business with the city.
Jack, $25,000-a-year president of the Borough of Manhattan, was shocked when the jury of seven men and five women returned with their verdict after 4 hours 33 minutes of deliberations.
The 52-year-old Tammany Hall Democrat, who had come to symbolize the American dream to many American Negroes, was tried earlier this year on the same charges, but the jury failed to reach a verdict. He has voluntarily stepped out of his government post during his legal battle.
Jack has maintained throughout his trials that he allowed Sidney J. Ungar, real estate man, long-time friend, and his campaign manager, to pay for the refurbishing of his Harlem apartment overlooking the north end of Central Park only as a loan.
