fused to discuss her testimony. 1t was

officers were sharing in profits Of Ten
derloin gambling houses, and told OF
the relations between her husband and
lieutenant Becker.
Mrs. ROsenthal came to the build

neys' office, and was accompanied by
her sister.
DO you think the police would pro-
tect me from their own kind ?" she
asked a representative of the district
office. I am afraid of my
life. Since Herman was murdered -
said Mrs. Rosenthal, the police have
made all kinds of efforts to see me
j have had high officials call me UP.
Why, deputy commissioner DOugherty
tried to get me yesterday. Why should
the police want to see me unless they
wanted to find out how much I know

jury"
