WOULD HASTEN
 CRIME 0N VALLON NOt LID HASTEN Becker ents Kidnap Story In Order to Save
 His Own Life.
GAYNOR IS INVOLVED
Chairman t'mrran, of AIdermanic C0m- miftee. Says Mayor Would
 Block Investigation.

New York, Aug. 17.-Cornered and lighting for his life as a representa- tive of the system, which is alleged to control the underworld of New York, Police Lieutenant Becker will try 10 fasten the CT me of murder on one of the states witnesses when the police official is brought to trial for the killing of Herman Rosentha1.
 The man selected by the defense as the one who fired the two bullets in to Gambler Rosenthals brain is Harry Vallon has been before the grand jury as witness for the Dis triet Attorney. This fact will insure him immunity from prosecution for the crime.
 Lieutenant Becker will set forth that the so-called gray murder car was in front of the Hotel Metropole on the Il ght of Rosenthal $ murder. but it was there, not with intent to kill, but to kldnap Rosenthal. Val!on was one of the gang of kidnapers But when Rosenthal appeared, ac- cording to the Becker defense. an old 2rudge came to the mind of Val Ian, who admits he was very drunk and he shot the gambler dead. The t0ur gun men, two in custody and two still fagit.ves, had nothing to do with the shooting, according to the defense, beyong being witnesses to it. Becker will disclaim all connection With the Kidnapping, alleging that a certain clique of gamblers were sore" at Rosentha, made up the plot to kidnap him and witnesses will be brought forward to swear to these statements. The claim that one man killed Rosenthal is substantiated by the testimony of Coroner's Physic an Schultz before the grand jury. He swore that Rosenthal was shot only twice; that both shots entered the ASau uiiu euol DoeH we're Ol lue same caliber, if not from the same revolv- CT.
 These stories of Becker's defense, coupled with persistent reports that Sam Scherps, now in Buffalo, W Il not tell what he knows in aiding to the prosecution, has disturbed Dis ;rict Attorney Whitman. He be- iieves the story of Rose, Vallon and Webber, of the murder plot, but he is taking no chances that some repre- sentative of the system shall get to Schepps and frame up' a story for him to tell
