This is Belief of New York Dis
trict Attorney Who is Invest
igating Murder Case
HUMAN LIFE CHEApLY HELD
Market Rate For Killing Men is
Only $4,000 Each
DEEP PROBE INTO DEPARTMENT

New York, July 20 The gang OF
gun men ana "blackjacketers" that
shot and killed Rosenthal, the gam
bier, is believed by detectives today
TO have been procured by Bald Jack"
Rose under pressure OF the police
system," which was seeking TO effect
ually close the mouth of Rosenthal
against further charges that the gam
blers mad divided their gains with
the police. Rose is a close friend Of
Police Lieutenant Becker. who was
yesterday removed as head of the
strong arm" squad which handles the
gambling situation i'm the city.
District Attorney Whitman cleaned
enough information 10 convince him
that Rose, at the suggestion or knowi-
edge of the police, hired some OF Jack
Zelig's gang OF man fighters TO make
away with Rosenthal. The market
rate for killing men by some of the
east side gun men is said 10 be two
thousand dollars.
From Shapiro, driver of the "mur-
der car" District Attorney Whitman
learned that after the shooting the
murderers loafed around the scene OF
the crime with no apparent fear Of
arrest. Shapiro told enough details
TO cause the prosecution 20 believe that
the private detectives he has employ
ed will soon round up the gang of gun
lighters whom the police daily prom.
ised To arrest but failed to DO SO.
That the gambling plot and murder
plot will lead deep into the police de-
partment is now generally believed.
