Lieutenant Becker was In conference
with his lawyer. John W. Hart at the
Iatters office. at No. SO Broadway. yes
terday afternoon. Becker was there when
several newspaper men arrived TO see Mr..
Hart. Mr. Hart took Becker into pri-
yate room, and afterward came out TO
meet the reporters. He said that Becker
denied absolutely all the charges In Ros-
enthars affidavit, and denied that he had
ever employed HIbbard & Lesinsky. OF
No. 22O Broadway. for any legal bust
ness.
This Is the firm which drew the
dummy chattel mortgage for Rosenthal
through Donahue, clerk, whom District
Attorney Whitman had before him yester-
day. Both Hubbard and Lesinsky have
been subp9naed 10 appear before the
grand jury to-day. Mr.. Hart thought
there was nothing more that Becker could
say on the subject.
Mr. Hart finally consented TO allow his
client TO tell of all his movements on the
night OF the shooting and his raids at the
San Souci Music Hall.
,, Becker said that he left Mr.. Harris e.
fee early Monday evening and went with
his lawyer to Mr. Harris house at No.
SO West 9th street. From there he took
his car to No. 225 West 10Th street. ard
later the bookkeeper OF the garage and
his chauffeur accompanied him In the
car to the fights in Madison Square Gar
den.
He went with two newspapermen TO the
Prince George Hotel from the garden, he
said, and remained there about three
quarters OF an hour. He met Colonel
Sternberger OF the 22d Regiment at the
hotel. He and his two reporter friends
went down TO tho World Building from
tho hotel In the automobile. and he went
In to see a man in the office of that
paper. He waited In the car at the
World Building for the first morning edi-
tons to come out at about o'clock.
Jack Sullivan, one OF the men who
had come down with me after the nights,
said he wanted to go to Broadway and
42d street, and we went up that way
about o'clock, stopping only long enough

Lieutenant Becker. Then l drove On

CAMBLED HERE TWENTY YEARS
Rosentha's Troubles Began at Far Rockaway, Where
He Tried to BUCK" the Kuof; Next
Led Hesper Club to Ruin.

penniless He borrowed money. which he
put into other smaller gambling houses
and at the same time plunged heavily
himself at faro in various resorts. ...
In the mean time Rosenthal had In
Cured the enmity Of other leaders In the
gambling fraternity, who resented his ac-
tivity in Tenderloin gambling circles.
They insisted he should have confined his
operations to the East side.
Furthermore, they did not like the noto-
riety he was attracting. as they feared
II might result In the death Of gambling
throughout the city. Essential was de-
termined, however, 10 get what he called
q square DEAL" and he refused to follow
the advice Of those who urged him TO quit.
Rosenthal had the reputation OF always
being on the level, his friends citing as
all instance Of his "squareness" his action
in the suit brought against him In March
1910. by Charles ]. Kohler, OF the firm
of Kohler & Campbell. piano manufactur-
ers, at Eleventh avenue and 5Oth street.
Kohler sued Rosenthal for 5000, al
leginR that Il was an unpaid bet on
horserace. Justice Platzek. OF the Su-
prene Court. instructed the Jury In the
case to bring in Judgment for TINS
sum. Rosenthal appealed, on the ground
that n wager on a horserace was Illegal
and tie Appellate Court sustained MIN.
Kohler, It appeared, had placed the
money In Rosenthars hands 10 wager on
n certain horse. The horse won. and
Kohler received a check for 800" but
Rosenthal stopped payment on 1t.
Shortly after the Appellate Division
had upheld Rosenthars contention, the
gambler called Kohler UP on the tele-
phone and invited him TO luncheon. Dur
ing the meal Roseuthai reached into his
pocket. and. drawing out 500, handed
II to Kohler.
Rossnthal was about th!rty-eIght years
old. For many years he made HIS home
at the sherman Square Hotel, living. 1t
is said. at tho rate Of 5000 q year

that the gambler finally moved 10 the

District Attorney whitman spent the
entire day yesterday working on the nur.
der OF Herman Rosenthal, the gambles
who had promised to prove to the grand
jury that certain policemen were intst,
ested in gambling houses. Mr.. Whitman
said that the investigation would proceed

He is certain, however, that Rosenthall
feared injury or death because Of the In.

Rosenthal and his wife told Mr. Whit.
man that. Mrs. Rosenthal said yesterday
she herself feared that she might follow
her husband. -.-
The death Of Rosenthal Is a serious han, |,

For a consideration Donohue IS said
to have agreed 10 have the mortgage
made out I'm his name and TO have signed
his name TO the satisfaction. When the
mortgage was made out to him, he said
he executed an assignment IN blank.
District Attorney whitman was asked
yesterday II he had found any indication
as 70 whether RosenthsPs slayer was
employed by gamblers who feared his
revelations. or by policemen, who like
wise feared them. He answered that the
only information he had on that point
was furnished by Rosenthal himself and
that he seemed TO fear the vengeance Of
the police, but did not refer to any gam
blers.

POLICE PUZZLE WHITMAN
He Points Out Lack of Corrob-

District Attorney Whitman resumed his
personal investigation OF the Rosenthal
murder last night at the Metropole. The
discrepancies in the police accounts Of the
shooting, TO which he had referred earlier
in the evening, seemed TO puzzle him still.
TT is curious circumstance, MT.
Whitman said, that four patrolmen
standing within five hundred feet Of the
scene of the shooting all failed TO give
corroborative accounts Of the tragedy.
None OF the policemen adequately de-
scribed the automobile in which the muir
derers made their escape.

automobile was facing Broadway. II this
was true. It would have necessitated the

For nearly twenty years Herman Ro-
senthal. former president OF the Hesper
Club. had lived the typical gambler 8
life. Raid after raid had followed him
wherever he established himself. and on
three occasions bombs were exploded In
his resorts. All these things he regarded
as ordinary happenings which one OF his
profession must necessarily expect, and
he wasn't the least bit agitated because
of them.
The turn in the tide Of Rosenthals luck
came about two years ago, when william
+. Baker. who was then Deputy Police
Commissioner in Brooklyn, ordered him
to close a gambling house he had opened
at Far Rockaway.
Rosenthal declined 20 obey the Com
mssioners order, insisting that so long
as the Kuloff, another gambling estap-
l!shment at Far Rockaway, was unmo-
Tested By the police he could keep his
running too. II was only short time
aftcrward, however that Rosenthais
place was raided and closed.
The gambler then became actively In
terested in the establishment known as
the Hesper Club, in lower Second avenue,
and later was It's president This was one
Of the most famous gambling clubs In the
city. and boasted the friendship. X not
the backing, Of big Tim" Sullivan and
other East Side politicians.
Its hrst president was Paddy" sulli-
van, relative OF the big Tammany lead
er. Every year tho club held an outing
10 which the lower East Side turned out
on mssse. while its annual ball was
looked upon as one OF the most important
social functions OF the quarter.
At about the time Rosenthal Joined the
inner coterie directing the fortunes Of the
Hesper club. Baker was made Police
Commissioner. Tho resort was raided
twice IN quick succession. az was another
club I'm West 10th street In which
Rosenthal was Interested. Rosenthdl'
however stuck 10 his guns until June OF
last year. when after several more RAIDS
the Hesper Club went out OF existence.
The gambler had been regarded as
worth more than $4,000. but his long
night with the police left him practically
