Here is an article from Sheriff Jim Wilson about the FitzGerald Special.

http://www.shootingtimes.com/gunsmoke/0605/

It appears that I was incorrect about the gun. I said it was the New Service, but before the New Service, was the Police Positive Special, cut to a 2" barrel. The Fitz Special evolved into the Detective Special which came out in 1926.
The Fitz Special New Service in 45 Colt was somewhat later, it turns out.
