New York, Aug 6. Bald Jack" Rose, the gambler upon whose testi- mony was chiefly based the indiet- ment of Police Lieutenant Becker on the charge of instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, today furnished District Attorney Whitman with a written statement disclosing in de tail the story of his relations with Becker as one of the police officers alleged graft collectors.
 Rose in his confession, as the dis trict attorney terms it, gives a com plete table of his collections from gamblers, which, he says, he turned over to Becker
 These collections. according to the "confession" averaged from S12,0OO to $l5,000 a month and came from a dozen or more gambling houses The names of about ten of them Rose gave to the district attorney.
 Becker the sef-aceused gambler wrote, was continually bounding him for more money, telling he, he said, that "the bunch downstairs isn't get ting enough
 Roses statement was several thou sand words long. The gambler had been working on 1t in his cell ever since, on the promise of leniency, District Attorney Whitman got him a week ago to make his first comics sion.
 Rose declared that he had always turned his collections over to Becker in cash. frequently at Roses home, and that his wife and servants had seen the money pass and could testi- fy to the truth of his statement.
 Becker's method of bringing the gamblers to terms was to raid them first. Rose said This was the off cers way, he explained. of getting acquainted"
 After the raid. he would offer to fix" the case before the grand jury. Rose charged, provided the unfortu- nate gambler would come across" 7" To further impress the gambler, Becker would procure further war rants, threatening to continue his raids as iong as the gambler refused to pay bIackmail Rose detailed two specific instances of Becker's alleged methods. One was that of a Brook lyn poolroom keeper named Dorsey, against whom one of BeCker's men, Foy, got evidence, Rose wrote. Beck CTS men raided the place and the next day Dorsey came to see Becker and Rose. Becker, Rose declared, showed the pooroom keeper three or four warrants and told him that for $6O0 ale would tear them up and the case would be dropped. The police off cer, Rose said. gave him from Friday until Monday to get the money, which Dorsey did,
 The other instance described by Rose was that of gambling place known as the Sans Souci. in which sam Paul, the East Side gang leader, was said to be interested Becker, Rose asserted. never got real evl- dence.
 Describing his own relations with the police lieutenant, Rose sail that his acquaintance began when Becker raided his gambling house on the East Side. Rose said he then became stool pigeon for Becker in his raiding activities and later his col lector.
 Rose substantiates all that Rosen- thai had charged as to Beeker's being his partner in the Rnsenthal gambling house. He asserted that Becker got 321a per cent of the play" 20 per cent on his own account and one-hali of Roses share, which was 20 per cent
 In addition to Roses statement, the district attorney, it was learned to- night, obtained telephonic records substantiating Roses story that a few minutes after the murder of Ro sentha Rose called Becker on the telephone and asked him to come down town at once and that he com municated by telephone with Becker several times that day.
 The prosecution also has discover ed the whereabouts of Pollock, al whose home Rose stayed before he gave himself un and has subpoenaec him and his wife. Their evidence Mr Whitman expects. will substantl ate Roses story that he was in com muncation with Becker while in hid ing there.
