from Rosenthal and was going to print
1t.
ct guess Rosenthal means to do
what he said he would--to squeal and
and break me- Becker said. Becker
told me he had been asked if he had
any answer to make to the ajdavit.
He said his lawyer had told him not
to answer It. but he was going to try
to get the original of the affidavit. as
he understood that if he did get it he
would have a good basis for a criminal
libel suit against Rosenthal"
well. Charlie I said, there are
other ways OF handling Rosenthal.
Have somebody in authority send for
him and lay the law down to him.
"Do you think Becker asked, that
I'd ask Rosenthal to stop his attacks
on me-?
"I'll get g couple of gang men,
told Becker. and go around and tell
Rosenthal that If he doesn't stop his
attacks something will happen to
him?'
"fOh, HE'LL Becker said. 7 don't
want the fellow beaten up. If did I'd
beat him up myself or have him
beaten up for resisting arrest. But a
beating up won't do for him. He must
be put where neither you nor 1 nor
anybody else will ever have to worry
about him again
What do you want done with
Rosenthal?' 1 asked Becker during the
conversation, the witness testified
IT want him murdered, shot, croak-
ed dynamited or anything Becker re-
piled. want him put where we will
never have to worry about him
again"
Becker gave me 500 to take to
Zelig. TIL meet you tomorrow morn

want that 800. I want to get out of
here. You and Becker got me into
this trouble 1 told him that the 500
was Just a little favor from Becker and
that he was not to worry"
Rose said he went to the home of
the four gunmen-"Gyp the Blood
and his pals-and explained the Rosen-
thai Becker situation. He told them,
he said, that Becker would frame
ND" If they croak Rosenthal.''
"They wanted to know what Zelig
thought about it and I told them that
Zelig thought 1t would be all right,
Rose said. They agreed to do 1t that
night
HURRIED ALONG BY BECKER.
Rose said they had delayed doing
the Job" and Becker had insisted that
they hurry 1t along" He told Of a
plan to kill the gambler at the Gar
den Restaurant It failed, he said, be-
cause of a suspicion that private detec-
tives were present and guarding
Rosenthal.
Becker got hot at this" Rose added
He kept asking why all this STALL

No less than $100, 900 has

nopoly. But so long as the men
with the money say that the value
of the oil trust has been enhanced

In the very beginning he declared
that he was not in favor of the re-

consider this an issue as many
thought it. There was no particu-

thing of this kind, inasmuch as we
have a very efficient and practical

analysis with him as he is the Off

result Of his determination to make

The Importance of the Office of the

After a night in Jail the accused
men assumed a defiant attitude. Their

oners also was presented to the house
asserting that their designations had
been SCI ured through coercion; that
they would withdraw them and de-
mand a thorough investigation. Sub
sequently the house adopted a reso-
luton authorizing the appointment
of a committee of Is to investigate
the alleged bribery charges.

assistant, Il. p. Davies, today began
collecting evidence for informations
which they planned to file against
