York Police While Mrs. ROS-

WILL DO ALL POSSIBLE
TO AIENGE THE CRIME
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 23-The inside
story of her murdered husbands re-
lations with the gambling situation
in this city was related to the Grand
Jury today by Mrs. He man Rosen-
thai The widow of the gambler,
murdered in front oil the Metropole
Hotel a week ago today, had no
hesitancy in declaring she intended
doing everything possible to ayenge
her husband. she insisted that sne
had been his confidante and that
eve.y dollar he paid for police pro-
lection was known to her, as well as
every move he made in his attempt
to buy immunity from the police so
that he could continue his trade.
Mrs. Ros enthal was brought be-
fore the Grand Jury by two process
servers from the district alto ney's
office who had orde. to prevent any
one talking to her. District Attor-
ney Whitman said that her story as
related to him was very lengthy
and that she would be the only wit
ness the Gland Jury would have
time TO hear today. Because he was
busy with her, Whitman did not ap-
pear in person to fight the writs of
habeas corpus sued out TO secure
the release of Sam Paul and Bridgio
Webber, held on homicide charges
and against whom their lawyers de-
clare there is no evidence Whit
man sent Assistant District Attorney
Johnson to ask Justice Seabury to
continue the cases until he could ap-
pear in person. 1t was reported that
Mrs. Rosenthal in her story to the
Grand Jury was TO tell of her hus-
tand's operations during the time he
conducted various gambling houses
on the East Side before he moved uI
into the white light district Of the
Tenderloin. 1t was understood that
in her story. told to District Attor'
ney Whiteman before she went be-
fore the. GraRd Jury, she declared tha
Rosenthal had always paid heavil,
for police protection.
She alleged that Rosenthal'i
money went to at least one captain
OF police and also to two inspectors
and she named these men TO Whit
man. But there was grave doub
whether her story could be substan
tiated and inasmuch as she posi-
lively declares Rosenthal was muir
dered by the police system. the dis
trict attorney realized that sh'
would make every point of her stor,
as black as possible where the polic'
are concerned.
While Mrs. Rosenthal was beinl
heard by the Grand Jury, Deputy Pc
lice Commissioner Dougherty and In
spector Hayes we're interrogatini
Harry VallOn, who surrendered earl.
today. Dougherty admitted that
general alarm had been sent out q
all big cities for the various gang
sters mentioned in connection will
the case. He said the police had beel
looking for Vallon through tn
country every since the day Of tn
killing Of Rosenthal.

WASH0UT HALTS TRAFFIC
Passengers for New York Forced
to Spend Night on Long Island.

Hampton. Long Island, March 10
Since noon yesterday there has been no
traffic on the Long Island Railroad east
of this station. because the severe rain
and wind storm has washed out the bal
last from under the rails for distance
Of couple of miles.
Wrecking crews and other employees Of
the road have been trying to repair the
still impossible east of here Passen-
gers bound for Bridgehampton, Sag Har-
Dor and other points east were forced to
spend the night i'm this village, and the
chances are that they viii be here for sew
eral hours.
At Bridgehampton conditions are as
bad. AS there are several trains that
should have run yesterday tied up be-
cause OF the storm. On these trains there
are many passengers bound for Brooklyn
and New York. and they were compelled
10 seek shelter in houses at Bridgehamp-
ton during the night. as they were unable
10 get any further west than Bridgehamp-
ton.
In tho various villages at this end of
the island there are many flooded cellars
and impassa ble roads. and the oldest resi-
dents say the storm was one OF the sever
est that ever occurred on the island.
