FdblOu.
Differing entirely from the polics
theory that the man who sent bomb
to Judge Otto Rosalsky on Saturday was
a maniac and the same one who sent tho
bomb that killed Mrs. Helen Taylor on
February 8, the friends OF Judge Ro-
salsky are convinced that the bomb was
sent by denizen of the East Side har-
| boring a grudge against the Judge who
has risen from the ranks of Allen street.
Judge Rosalsky's brother, Murray Ro-
salsky, and several Of the judges friends
spent the day with him yesterday at his
apartment in the Hendrix Hudson. a I
Riverside Drive and 10th street Moe
A Isaacs, a clothing merchant. Of No.
| Great Jones street, who was with Judge
| Rosalsky from shortly after the time the
bomb was received until late Saturday
night, was down again yesterday from
| his home in Mount Vernon. and did not
leave the judge until nearly Q o'clock at
night Louis Marcus, son OF Joseph s.
Marcus, the East Side banker, was also
with Judge Rosalsky until we'll into tho
evening.
After conferring with Mr.. Marcus and
Mr.. Isaacs throughout the afternoon
Judge Rosasky went with them at
o'clock to the home Of Joseph S. Marcus
for dinner. Mr.. Marcus's bank is at No.
| 91 Delaney street, near where Judge
Rosalsky was born. and where ne after
ward lived with his father and mother.
even after he had become a Judge Of
General Sessions. Most of the clients Of
the Marcus bank are residents Of the
East Side, and he as well as the judge
himself, and Mr.. Isaacs are particularly
familiar with the ways of those who live
IN that part Of the city
Sent Many from East Side to Prison.
Judge Rosalsky was born at No. 26 Al
| len street and was the son of kosher
| butcher. He worked in his fathers shop
after school hours, and when he had
| finished the primary school studied law
at night after the labors of the day I'm
| the butcher shop were over. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1894, and it was not
until some time after he was elected a

he has been on the bench he has had
many prisoners from the East Side be-
fore him, and many of them he has had
to sentence TO terms in prison.
The conference at Mr.. Marcus's house
last night lasted for an hour and half.
When Judge Rosalsky returned to the

AS he waited after the reply and

angrily. Why don't you follow me?"

do you think / ann"
How do you dare to speak to me in
that way?" demanded Judge Rosalsky.

expect a courteous answer"
Thereupon Judge Rosalsky followed
the reporter down the steps Of the Hen
drick Hudson and demanded: who are
you and what paper do you represent
The reporter handed his card TO the
Judge
II dare you to print anything libellous
about me-" Judge Rosalsky detained,
excitedly Il dare you to print anything
libellous about me-
A short time later Judge Rosalsky
was called up on the telephone and
asked II there was anything significant
in his visit to Mr.. Marcus.
