Monday night So far as he could find
out Becker had not met Jack Rose
that night, he said.
There was plenty of evidence to show
that Rose had been with several OF
Becker's friends during the evening
and that Becker had been with friends
of Rose. Becker told the Commits
sioner that he had sent Charles Pitt,
ir., who had acted for the lieutenant
before i'm personal matters, to Dora Gill
bert, the divorced wife of Rosenthal, to
get an AFFIDAVIT rejecting on Rosen-
thals former life. Rose had met Pitt
there for the same purpose, 1t was ad-
mitted the Commissioner said, though
Lieutenant Becker denied he knew
Rose was there.
Rose and Pitt were travelling In the
rcd car which Rose first hired before it
broke down, and Rose secured the
Libby car later in the evening, the
Commissioner said.
Becker told me- said Dougherty,
that a man who said his name was
Harry Brown called him up from the
Lafayette Baths on Monday and told
him if he would send a representative

Dougherty said he had no informa-

assassus Of Rosenthal made their

that Jack Rose had used'two cars

the crime, but that # was waiting for
them on 43d street. The police figure,
however, that some of the same men

Charles G.. + Wahle. Zelig's attorney,
made indignant protest yesterday
against any intimation that his client
might have been mixed up with the
shooting of Rosenthal, or with the plot
in connection with the affair in any
way.
AS soon as he got out of the hospi-
tall" he said, "Zelig left town, az he
promised TO do, 10 await the calling Of
his delayed hearing. He was ready
before, but the sickness OF one Of the
detectives for the prosecution delayed
the trial. Whenever Mr.. whitman
wants TO see Mr.. Zelig he will appear
promptly, whether in regard to his own
case. the present police trouble or any
other matter that Mr.. Whitman may
think he would like to see him about.
Il would say, however, II is prepos-
ferrous TO think that he can throw any
light or the present matter. won't
say how far away from New York he
is, but he can get back promptly"
