81 can't discuss that now
The deputy made it clear that Sam
Jsaacs. better known as "Itsky,' and
said TO be one OF the gang, did not
ride up in Shapiro's car from Shar-
keys. "Itsky," he said, got in the car
OF AID street.
Did Rose tell who the men were in
The car with him?'
Yes was the triumphant reply.

Paul into giving him the names of the
TWO men who were always in the com
pany of Billiard Ball Jack Rose.

the case than on any day since the

were said to be out of the city and
were sending in frequent reports of the

Confers with Mayor
1t was learned yesterday that Philip
Block, chief clerk of the magistrates
courts, was in conference with Mayor
Gaynor Saturday night in regard to the
,Rosenthal case. Block was supposed
40 have several subppnas with him at
1.-The time he called. 1t was not dis
closed what the Mayor desired to talk
over with the court clerk.
The fact that the apartment Of Rob
rert n. Hibbard. at No POS West 91st
street was thoroughly ransacked on
Wednesday night by some person or
persons who were evidently looking for
data instead Of plumber gained a good
deal of significance yesterday. Hib-
bard was subp9naed TO go before the
n grand jury Thursday morning, which
III he did and told what he knew about
the $1,000 mortgage which he made
through dummy. Rosenthal declared
in his affidavit that Lieutenant Becker
had loaned the money TO him. Hb
bards testimony before the grand jury
was said to have had an important
bearing on the police connection with
the case. 1t is surmsed that some one
visited the Hubbard apartment in
search of certain documentary evidence
which might prove damaging to Lieu
tenant Becker.
District Attorney Whitman is said TO
believe that Hibbard's testimony will
tend TO show the real motive" for
Rosenthal's death. 1t will be remem-
mered that Rosenthal was killed the
night before he was to visit Judge
-Whitman's house TO furnish him with
The names Of several men In the Police
Department who, he alleged, took graft
money from gamblers. It is a strange
coincidence that Hibbard's place should
have been entered the night before he
was TO furnish important evidence
against the police.
The inquest into Rosenthars death
will be held to-day before Coroner
Feinberg. 1t is said that a score or
more of witnesses have been SUBJ
nCenaed to appear. The five prisoners
will be brought before the Coroner,
and il is not expected that the charges
against the three men in the Tombs
will be reduced so that any Of them
can get BAIL
