that Rosenthal hated Rose and Roses
friends and that Rosenthal was enraged
against Becker because OF the arrest
OF young Fleming. Mrs. Rosenthal's
nephew. He believed that the testimony
OF Ike White Of the World that Becker
had not made inquiries about Rose n
thal's affidavit until the Saturday mig ht
before the murder was sufficient suppo ri
for the contention that Becker had not
known the affidavit was In existence until
that time.
Thinks Rose story Discredited.
Mr.. Hart continued:
This I think will discredit Roses story
to a certain extent Now, after that we
come to Monday. July Is. On that
day we will show Beckers movements
from the time he left my Office in the
afternoon all through the night, and dis
prove the statements made by the wit
nesses for the State. As the case stood
on Monday afternoon Rosenthal. a dis
credited man, had made charges against
Lieut.. Becker. Lieut.. Becker was en-
gagged in refuting these charges and In
the course OF this WORK directed that an
affidavit be obtained from Dora Gilbert,
telling as much AZ possible Of Rosenthai's
past life.
While that affidavit was being gotten
Becker and his friends were at q prise
fight and later went to the Prince George
Hotel. Becker drove his reporter friend
to the tube at Thirty-third street and
Seventh avenue. lie then drove to the
World Building and then home.
At no time did he drive near the Metro
pole, as has been stated. Becker at first
thought he should bring q libel suit.
advised against this. I did not think that
Becker should be asked to shoulder the
whole charges against the Police De-
partment.
OF MIR. Jerome's connection with the
case Mr. Hart said:
went to my former chief. William
Travers jerome. and informed him what
Waldo was urging Becker to do. l told
him that 1 wanted some one to go to
Waldo and show Waldo the injustice Of
what ne was urging Becker to do. We
went TO the Bar Association. where ]
took room. and chatted until Lieut..
Becker came. We discussed the case.
and when We got to. the affidavit OF Jack
Rose about the $500 raised for Rosen-
thai the matter OF Rose came up. Becker
expressed his opinion OF him and told
what he knew about him. 1t was sug-
gested that Roses affidavit be procured.
He said that after his visit to Rose in
Pollok's house he consulted MIR. Jerome e
again and that through Mr.. jerome
Commissioner Waldo was informed OF
where Rose was in hiding.
