Jerome il nas expected that Hart would
try 70 persuade Becker TO select Mr.
Jerome as his chief counsel. Some OF
Mr.. Jerome's former associates de-
clared yesterday that he had said he
would have nothing TO do With the
case. while others asserted that he
was intensely interested IN it as a big
criminal case and would very likely be
in il before long. Mr.. jerome himself
is away on an automobile trip and not
even in communication with his Office.

blers. Rose admitted that he was wen
acquainted among the gamblers anu
the conversation led to other meetihsS'
Finally Becker began TO use Rose as
his agent to visit gamblers. Rose says
the relation was not at all that OF "a
stool pigeon, but that Becker author :

The underlying threat, which was
made good by Becker If protection
was scorned, was that the place wou'u
be raided. Rosenthal, Rose relates

Alderman Curran said yesterday that
although he had received at least forty
applications for the place OF counsel to
the special aldermanic committee that Is
10 Investigate the Police Department lie
had not yet got down to considering seri-
ously man for the place. 1t is pretty
safe to say, however, that not single
one OF the men who have made applica-
ton for the job will get 1t. It will be
considered that the mere fact that man
Is seeking the place is disqualification.
In spite OF Curran's denial that he had
not seriously considered man for
counsel. there was considerable tax
among those interested as 10 who would
be the right man. II Is conceded by oil
that the success or failure Of the investi-
cation will depend almost wholly upon
the counsel and that the job IL mono too
small for the biggest lawyer.
Men familiar with the legal profession
in the city Acknowledged themselves at
q loss to pick just the right sort Of
nan--one who has the peculiar qualifica-
lions required for such a task. Those
who are most deeply interested In seeing
the inquiry success were wishing that
another Charles z. Hughes could De
raised up for the work.
Among those who figured In the gossip
as possible selections were Judge NJ. Linn
Bruce, William Church Osborn. Judge
William II. .Wadhams. Judge ". NJ. Is.
olcott and Samuel I-utnrn1yer
Watson Favorable to Plans.
Although under the charter any counsel
that the special committee may nave
must be appointed by Corporation Coun-
sci Watson as a special assistant Cor
poration Counsel. or special counsel
Mr. Watson has not the slightest DISPOSE
ton to dictate the appointment. He
stands ready 70 appoint any good man
who may be named by the committee.
There ig no likelihood of friction IN that
respect.
Section SO OF the charter STATS that
no officer. board or department. or the
city shall have or employ any special
counsel or attorney. except where judg-
ment or order i'm an action or preceding
may affect him or them individually or
may be followed By a motion 70 commit
for contempt OF court
This section has been practically un-
changed for more than half d century.
Some nfty years ago an exactly similar
point came up. Counsel was employed by
d committee Of the Common Council, as
# was then. This man sued FOR his fee.

Rosenthal Needed" Becker.

Rosenthal told him. Rose says that
nc wanted 10 know Becker better mol
only because he needed Becker In MS
own business. but because he wanted
10 Square accounts with some other
gamblers.
Rose goes on 70 say thst nc collected
from about fifteen houses for Becker
and that the monthly levy amounted
20 about $1,000 The number OF
houses was reduced later, and Rose
understood that other collectors were
looking out for what houses were taken
n his list:
Becker never got real evidence
against places that were 10 be raided'
Rose continued, but used stool pigeons
who furnished the material upon which
warrants were obtained. Rosenthal
made himself useful TO Becker in one
case into which Rose goes in great
detail.
According 20 this story restaurant
known as "Tony's," in WILLIAMSBURG
was next door to a gambling estao-
ushment run bv two men whom Becke!
wanted OH his lists. Rosenthal went
tn the restaurant and met the neigH-
boring gamblers there. not by appoint
meD- but apparently by accldci''
Foy. OF Beckers squad, Rose says Nas
seated at q nearby table. and Roseh-
thai engaged the two gamblers III con-
,ersatlon. They knew RosenthaL ana
thought he was "one Of them
Rosenthars talk centred on such re
marks as Have you still got that
carhler's desk on The second hoof
corner in 'front.'" and where's your
roulette wheel noN-in the back room
I'D there on the third floor? '-remarKs
which would Furnish 10 the nearby de-
tectlve the information necessary for
warrants. Finally, with this prelimi-
nary arranged, the place was raldeq
and the two gamblers went 70 Rose
with their kick. They sworc that no
cop" had been IN their place TO get
evidence and that the warrants were
,lnjustified. but Rose told them they'd
have 10 "hx things right with Becker
ie they wanted 10 do business.
Rose arranged meeting between the
TWO gamblers and Becker at the La
fayette Baths, and at the end OF the
conversation which ensued Becker,
Rose says, pulled out three or four
warrants from his pocket and told the
gamblers they could have them for
5000 That was on a Friday. end on
The next Monday the gamblers came
across"
A gambling place in Cortlandt street
was handled IN the same way. and all
other place in Park Place was equally
we'll arranged for.
Becker finally raided the Sans Soucl
sam" Paurs place, in 18th street. Oh
which an inspector OF police was sail
TO DO in" That was when Becker
was beginning to feel his power Rose
said, and at q time when he thought
that no man in the department, no MAJ
Ter how high in rank, could stop his
game.

Offer OF an interest 70 Becker.

About that same time. Rose says,
ROsenthal began TO need new bank
roll and offered Becker q - per cent
interest in his place for $500, Becker
dcmurrcd and the matter was reduced
to - per cent interest for a loan Of
81 800. but in addition Becker toll
Rosenthal he would have TO take care
ot Rose" 10 the extent Of u - per
cent interest. Rose says Becker then
made him (Rose) split even with him
on the share, which gave Becker actu-
ally a 321s per cent interest in the
profits Of Rosenthars place.
Rosenthal WAS ultimately raided,
Rose asserted. because Becker got Or
Gers that he could not disregard.
roso devoted the last six pages OF
his statement TO detailed account OF
his movements just before. during and
after the murder Of RCsenthal, and
gave an exact statement OF all his COM
munications. direct and indirect. with
Becker during that period.
Because of the names ii contains the
Rose statement will be turned over by
the District Attorney TO the Burns de-
tectlves, and they will have the job Of
working up the corroboration for IL.
The Burns men gave Mr.. Whitman
Yesterday the exact evidence in the
form Of telephone tally sheets of the
telephone call which Rose said he made
10 Becker from the basement OF the
Times Building directly after the muir
der, thus corroborating another point
in Roses previous story. which was re-
peated in hts written statement yester-
day.
Apart from the Rose statement the
police and the District Attorney were
able yesterday to get from William
shapiro an admission that materially
