for either the police or the District At

but praise for his fairness. He even
dictated the following statement to a
stenographer:

"Dago Frank" Cirohci was the first Of
the prisoners to be arraigned before the
Coroner. His counsel. Cesare de Barra,
agreed to the District Attorneys request
that his case be adjourned forty-eight
hours.

The case OF Billiard Ball Jack" Rose
was next called. His counsel. J. VI Sui
Ivan, was not even present when Mr.
Whitman asked that he be remanded TO
the Tombs for week. Rose looked up
In surprise.

trlct Attorney Whitman
"Oh. well, II he said 80 it's all right"
said Rose.
This move occasioned considerable sur
prise throughout the courtroom. Whis-
pers were heard Hes going TO confess"
And soon the word had been passed all
through New York's underworld that
Jack" Rose had "squealed."
Rose kept his eyes away from the hard
looking men who occupied nearly every
seat In the court reserved for spectators.
NJ. l.. Comes. former clerk In the
office of Max d. Steuer, appeared for
Harry Valensky, alias WALTON, whose case
was also adjourned TO Thursday. Later
Comes said that WALTON had retained an
other lawyer who would look after his
interests in the future. The new counsel
IL Walter ID. Chandler. Of No. 20 Wall
street.
Jacob A. Reich. alias Jack Sullivan,
friend Of gamblers and Of Lieutenant
Charles Becker. marched into court when
his name was called. holding lighted
cigarette and trying hard TO appear, at
ease. His case was set for Thursday.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-07-30

The story that the grand jury heard
last night, which led to their indicting
Lieutenant Charles Becker for murder
q, the first degree, point to many ON"
Gals higher in the Police Department
than Recker. The chief witness, Jack
Rose gave testimony that made the
grand Jurors sit back in their CHAIRS

And this, perhaps. more than any
thing else. stands out most prominently
In the case: The three main witnesses
before the grand Jury, Rose. Bridge
Weber and Harry WALTON. were so AFRAID
Of the system" that they begged not
IN he sent back to the Tombs, fearing
that they would be killed before morn
ing.
District Attorney Whitman was 80
convinced that their fear was JUST
fed that he selected a number OF his
own detectives. all trustworthy men
and well armed, TO stand guard over
the three gamblers in the District At
torney's office during the night.
The instructions of these men were

lon and Rose. They declared their
charges would be alive in the morning
or they themselves dead.
Feared High Official.
1t can be stated on the best of au-
thority that Rose would have told his
story to the grand jury long before
yesterday, but that he feared a high
police official.
And before Rose agreed to go into
the grand jury room last night and tell
his story he eXacted promise from
the District Attorney that his wife and
three children would\be cared for.
81 don't care so much for myself"
said Rose, but have a wife and three
Riddles. / will tell the truth. but
want them guarded. In the event of
my death | do not want my family to
suffer. If am sure that they will be
cared for. come what may. / will tell
the truth"
He was promised that his family
would be guarded and looked out for
in the event of his death, and that his
own life would be guarded as sacredly
as that Of the head of the nation. Then
Rose went before the grand jury.
And following him and corroborating
him went "Bridgie' Weber and Harry
WALTON.
Rose Beeker's Collector.
OF minor Importance, but to corrobo-
rate the stories already told. Rose adj
mltted that he was Lieutenant Becker's
collector" and in this he was backed
by Bridge" Weber.
Rose was the most important witness
of the three Weber came next In I'm
portance, and then WALTON.
1t was not until after a gruelltng
day Of rigid cross-examination. using
one against the other, that District At
torney Whitman was able to get the
three men to tell all they knew.
In his efforts he was ably seconded
by the lawyers OF Weber and Rose,
namely Max d. Steuer and ]. NJ. Sulli-
van. respectively.
Mr. Steuer. before he had saved as
counsel to Weber half an hour, saw
what Mr.. Sullivan had learned days
ago-that the only thing in the entire
affair was to tell the truth. Both men
urged their clients 10 speak frankly
and tell nothing but the truth. no mat

And they did. With the result that

Rose swore that he called Becker on
the telephone from booth in the Times
Building Immediately after Rosenthal
was murdered.
"Rosenthal is dead Rose said he
exclaimed over the telephone to Becker.
My God! This is awful"
And Rose swore that Becker replied
"Oh. don't worry! I'll protect you.
I'll come right down"
And Becker did.
When he got downtown, according to
Rose and Weber, he took the two aside,
and walking them east in 42d street,

He talked at length about the injustice
done his clients by their being kept In
the Tombs. and said he would have to
consult with them. He did, and then
consented to the adjournment.
II was rumored that his change Of front
was due to the fact that the District At
torney has refused to grant immunity to
Shapiro. who made a confession to the
District Attorney last week that fell

CONFESSIONS POINT TO
MANY"MEN HIGHER up

Becker was indicted and men much
higher in the Police Department impli-
Gated.
More Arrests Expected.
From their testimony big batch of
arrests is expected within the next
forty-eight hours. The story already
told in The Tribune as to VINO the act
ual killers were was corroborated by
the three gamblers.
The actual nurderers Of Rosenthal,
they said, were "Dago Frank" Gig the
Blood" 'Leftie Louie" and white
Lewis"
Becker, according 10 the testimony Of
the three men, was the instigator Of the
crime. But for the police lieutenant,
Rosenthal would not have been MUIR
dered, they swore.
Rose swore:
I'VE were told to get Rosenthal and
we got him."
Rose swore that Becker told him to
get Rosenthal out OF the way"

Six Weeks Matching.

'Rosenthal lived too long weeks ago
six weeks ago." said Becker TO Rose
three days before the murder.
And Rose admitted that he went here
and there among the gangsters, drop
ping the hit that Becker wanted Rosen-
thai "out of the way" and that the Po-
lice Department would protect the men
who got" Rosenthal.
Rose admitted that he made certain
arrangements with big Jack" Zelig,
the gangster. and that four Of Zelig's
gangsters actually committed the MUIR
der.
But to let themselves out all three
men told the grand jury that they did
not know that Rosenthal would be
murdered. They thought that he would
just be badly beaten up, or wounded,
but not murdered.
The law. however, is clear on this
point. 1t states that any one who kills
another in the commission Of a crime
is guilty Of murder.
All three admitted that the gray
murder car" was used 70 collect the
gangmen who were to get" Rosen-
thai, but Rose who knew more of the
case than any other, was unable TO say
IL the gray car was used by the MUIR
derers to escape.
All admitted, and Rose, swore posi-
lively. that Rosenthal was killed at a
given signal-given by the messenger
OF the assassins, who preceded Rosen-
thai out Of the Metropole Hotel. and
raised his hand to his head to indicate
that the man behind him was the man
to be slain.
The gangmen did as they were ex-
pected to do; they killed the gambler
who had squealed.

9 YEARS
The fine
FOR BIVINS
SENTENCE PASSED TUESDAY
Troublesome Burglar Given
Heavy Fine

Ed Bivins, the negro burglar, who
with his pals made life miserable last
fall and for some time this year, was
yesterday given a sentence of nine
years in the gang by Judge Littlejohn,
as the result of the conviction of Biv-
ms on burglary charge in one case
and his pleading guilty in four others.
The case in which the negro bur
elar was tried and found guilty was
the first of the series. AS a penalty in
this case Judge Littlejohn imposed a
sentence of five years upon Bivins.
In each of the other four cases in
which Bivins pleaded guilty Judge
Littlejohn imposed a twelve months
line, making the aggregate fine OF
nine years for all the cases.
The fact that Bivins met a prompt
verdict of guilty at the hands of the
first trial jury was gratifying to the
people of Americas. This, doubtless,
lead to his pleading guilty in the other
cases, so that his fines might be les
sened thereby.
