Roses accusations against Lieut.
Becker. made on Monday night ane
Tuesday. were specific and positive
Having obtained, In common with
Webber ana Vallon. q promise OF Inn
munity, Becker's collector was willing
TO 60 far.
He said that when Becker tool
lieutenant asked him to name tho
gamblers who were worth dealing with
Rose, from years of expert knowledge
gave Becker long list OF gambler
who could be persuaded" Most Of
these did business in Manhattan. ou'
some were located in Brooklyn. where
the strong arm squad also had 5uris'
diction. III
Becker. says Rose. scanned the list
carefully and decided how much each
gambler was to be assessed. There was
a systematic and carefully worked out
price list. The big gamblers paid
heavily. Men like Honest John Kelly
were forced to contribute as much, AZ
$500 month. while the little fellows
the Bridgie webbers Of the traffic
were required to put up all the way
from $50 to 5000 a month.
Names Familiar 70 Broadway.
Rose gave the names Of the "bis
business" men Of the gambling trade
with whom Becker dealt. They are
names that have been familiar alonG
Broadway for years.
When Rose tapped at their doors
they responded as quickly as the cheap
gamblers who had moved up to the
tenderloin after the death Of racing
the Beansy Rosenfelds, tho Webbers
the Paul Kellys, and the Rosenthals.
Mr. whitman had heard. tho not
from Rose, that Honest John Kelly
made out a number Of checks to the
order Of Lieutenant Becker. that these
checks were endorsed by police Off
cial. and that they were cashed by this
official. One Of these checks. Mr. Whit
man learned. was for e2,500. Curious
ly enough, the protection money was
not always paid in cash. Sometimes 1t
took the form Of checks. There is no
accounting for that almost unprece-
dented indtscretion. except on the the
ory that the shrewd gamblers who gave
thee hecks might have wanted to keep
certain tangible evidences of their un-
lawful dealings with the police. or that.
