that Of Becker last summer. The
strong arm" lieutenant was known TO
have played a lone hand. strictly for
his own benefit, and although he could
undoubtedly tell many stories OF graft
ing by his fellow officers in the depart
ment, the general opinion in police cir
cles was that he would play in peril
as he had in his days of affluence--a
one-man game.
How true that judgment Of Becker
by his fellow police officers was is indi-
Gated by every move that Becker made
in his fight for life. 1t was Becker's
representative and not District Attor-
ney Whitman who shut out from
Beckers trial all possible reference to
graft on the force, whether directly
connected with Becker or not.
The case Of Skelly, howeve., offers
different problem to the defendant. 1t
is known now that Mr.. Whitman has
evidence in his possession which Will
satisfy any jury, grand or petit. that
Sicily did not retain all or even the
larger part Of what he collected, and It
is believed that when this aspect Of his
case is put up to Skelly he will see
that his way out lies in frank con-
fession.
Such a confession would be sure to
implicate one police captain and prob
ably one police inspector, and with one
official Of either Of those grades posi-
lively involved. It is not believed that
either that captain or that inspector

that on a night in September. 1910, she

"A sergeant and a plainclothes man

had been subpoenaed on Saturday, and
that everything she told on tho witness
