respect to such search. Wilson and Cattalo also were convicted
of perjury for their testimony at the trial in Ryan's criminal
case regarding the amounts of money found and for denying that
money was taken. Hund testified that he received $17,000 from

Captain $5,000 each. Ryan testified that after returning to the
unit after dinner, he received about $18,000 to $22,000 from
Wilson, and that Wilson said that the two piles of money on his
desk were for Giongo and "the boss". Ryan also testified that he
saw Cattalo receive money. Neither Hund nor Ryan saw Wilson
giving money to anyone else. Ryan testified that he confirmed
with Hund and Grove the amounts they received, and with Giongo
that the latter received something. Ryan did not testify as to
what the amounts were. On the basis of the evidence linking
petitioners to the funds appropriated during the Roeder 1983
Search, we sustain respondent's assertions.
