the murder OF Herman Rosenthai,
tonight was further implicated in
the plot. to. get rid OF the gambler
when ''Bald Jack Rose and
"Bridgie" WeDber added another
chapter to their amazing allegations.
They told District Attorney Whit
man that Rosenthal was to have
been killed at the instigaton of
Becker ten days before he actually
met his fate, and that the plot failed
because the underworld thugs Sc
lccted to do the murder lost their
nerve at the last moment
They gave little additional inior-
nation regarding the $2,4OO,000,
which, they alleged, illegal resorts
paid for police protection in the city
every year, but their story of the al
legged anxiety of Police Lieut.. Becker
because Of Rosenthal's threatened
exposure was ampiied to the dis
trict attorney and in the proseeu-
tors opinion they strengthened his
evidence against Becker.

the Garden restaurant on Fifty

dining there, according to the ac-
count given the district attorney.
Rose himself engineered the job
and brought to the restaurant a
"neet of thugs" who were to do the
actual shooting. according to Rose.
Two of the hired assassins were
"Gyp the Blood" and Lefty" Lewis,
who are wanted by the police as two
of the men who actually shot Ros-
enthal ten days later in front of the
Hotel Metropole.
Becker Awaited News ~
Becker at the time was down
town, Rose said, waiting for the
murder plot to be consummated.
