 Whitman's Life DISTRICT ATTORNEY WARNED
 AND UNDER GUARD GAMBLERS RETURNING Rumors That the Lid is Being Raised
Rumors That the Lid is Being Raised Once More-Murderer Guards Beck er-Testaments For Gunmen.

New York. Nov 1-District Attorney Whitman was warned again today of an alleged plot against his life and he was told that with the conclusion of the Becker trial the Hid" was being lifted gradually in the Tenderloin dis trict and that gamblers were resum- ing business.
 The prosecutor declined to discuss the warning, except to admit that he had received a letter and a telegram to the effect that four Chicago thugs were due here by train tomorrow to "get'' him. He said it was nothing new for him to receive threats. but it is known that unusual precautions are being taken to guard his person. A detective was at his side practically all day
 Many Gamblers Return.
 Investigation has failed to verify rumors of pronounced activity in gam bling circles, but a number of houses were said to have reopened for bus mess quietly and unobtrusively con ducted. Many gamblers, who left the city at the time of the exposures of the Becker -Rosenthal case have re- turned. it is known.
 It was even carried to the district attorney in newspaper reports that
 
 ing the grating tactics which Becker is alleged to have emplOyed-that he was a silent partner in one of the gambling houses.
 Getting Evidence of Police Laxity.
 The prosecutor had no announce ment to make concerning his future actions, but he made it known that he will not rest his case against the sissXre,t tom TxrifE ha OF CT. He is working up evidence re- garding police laXity and grating to lay before the extraordinary grand Jury which is to continue the John Doe proceedings immediately after the cases of the guntnen in the Rosenthal murder are disposed of.
 Murderer Guards Becker.
 Becker, in his cell in the death house at Sing Sing prison, is being closely guarded. It is practically a case of one murderer assigned to look after another, for today James Dillon. a convict, who killed Brooklyn man. was given the work of caring for Beckers cell. Dillon does not face death for his crime. as does Becker who is therefore exempt under prison rules from menial labor,
 Allowed Three Visits a Week. The daily visits which Becker was first allowed to receive from his wife have been cut to three a week. This has disappointed the couple. but they are making the best of it by the exchange of letters. Becker is also chafing from the loss of exercise. In the Tombs he had a daily promenade through the corridors, but now he has only a short walk between the rows of cells in the death house.
 Officer Fsrrick Suspended William Ferrick, the former member of the Becker police squad, who was indicted for perjury yesterday, was to- day formally suspended from the po- lice force. He is on a honeymoon, hay ing been married last night after his indictment. He did not learn of the grand jury's action until today, when he appeared this afternoon, pleaded not guilty, and gave $2.500 bonds for his appearance.
 Testaments for the Gunmen. The accused gunmen awaiting trial in connection with the Rosenthal mur- der were each recipients today of small editions of the new Testament, the gifts of an unknown. With con- siderable care several passages were | marked, including the account of the eFucifixion in St. Matthew, the para | ble of the lost sheep and the story of ! the prodigaf son
