Rumor OF Annuity.

Mrs. Rosenthal is now living uptown
I'm comfortable circumstances, and the
story that was told yesterday was that
an annuity had been settled upon her
for life.
The furniture and other fittings OF
the place at No. lO4 West 45th street
where Rosenthal ran a gambling house
with Becker for a partner, Will be sold
under the hammer at the Broadway
Art Galleries on Wednesday. and Mrs.
Rosenthal will receive part of the pro-
ceeds. This much was revealed by one
of the attaches Of the auction rooms,
who said that by arrangement with the
LAWYERS of the interested parties Mrs.
Rosenthal would be well taken care of.
The furniture and other effects cost
Rosenthal $4,000. and the sale is ex-
pected TO bring in as much, or even
more. the notoriety of the case prob
ablv lending fictitious value to the
articles. 1t was on this furniture that
Rose. acting. as he says, as agent for
Recker, lent $1,000 to Rosenthal.
The private detectives who have
been AT work on the case learned that
Mrs Rosenthal no longer feared the
pinch of poverty, as she did immedi-
ately after her husbands murder. The
investigators found that the rent Of
No 1O4 West 45th street had been
settled and that the landlord held no
lien against Rosenthal's estate. The
house is now for rent.
If. as these detectives allege, Mrs.
Rosenthal has been won over to
Becker's side, those who turned the
trick have accomplished what was
regarded as impossible ten weeks ago.
When the gamblers wife was testify
ing before the grand jury on July 23,
telling of the relations that existed
between her husband and Becker. she
made no effort to restrain her feelings
toward the lieutenant. and her bitter
ness against him was intense.
She told Of the threats that had

GUARDS DOUBLED
AT ASTOR'S TOMB

New York. July 10.-F'riends of John
Jacob Astor are greatly concerned
over the fact that guards at his tomt
In Trinity cemetery have been doubled
The body of Colonel Astor was
brought TO this city on May after
the funeral services in the Church II
Messiah. at Rhinebeck. The casket
was placed i'm niche i'm the family
vault. beside the casket of his mother
and above that Of his father.
Two men have guarded it night and
day. the same size of guard that has
watched the tomb since II was built
But within a few days four men have
been detailed to protect the place, an l
no explanation has been vouchsafed
as to the reason for the increased pre-
caution.
Few outside of the intimate friends
of the Astor family have been aware
that for two score years or more il
has been their custom to guard the
rated ny the great grandfather of the
present head of the house. The then
John Jacob Astor had been painfully
impressed by the incidents surround
ing the stealing of the body of A. T.
Stewart.
The event demonstrated the prac-
ticability of similar desecration of
the grave of any man of fortune
against whose estate body snatchers
might have designs. So men were
hired to guard the family vault. and
from then until the present time it has
never been deserted.
The real vocation of the men en-
ployed has been concealed by the des-
ignation as gardeners and not as
guards To make plausible their pres
ence about the family vault. the plot
on which IL is located is planted with
many shrubs and makes one Of the
most beautiful forai displays in the
cemetery.
