IT TELLS ON O0UGHERTY
But Deputy Says He'll Get
En-" if It Takes Lifetime.

Dcputy Commissioner Dougherty said
Yesterday that i'm his search for the re-
naming fugitives in the Rosenthal case
no Vas using the methods he employed
when with the PinkertOn agency. His
detectives were not making a general
and sweeping search, but certain sleuths
were assigned to track down the various
Clews they had secured. The deputy
thought he would be wasting the time
and energy of his detectives If he merely
detailed them generally TO scour the
country.
Dougherty showed the physical effect
OF weeks Of unsuccessful work. His com
slsxion was less ruddy his eyes a bit
TOO bright and he seemed nervous. His
spirit however was as enthusiastic as
ever.
"T'H get those fellows sooner or later.
so help me, I'll get them, II it takes
lifetime" he declared, as he thumped
MS desk with a muscular fist
Doughertv said his official paths had
never crossed those of Lieutenant
Becker When he entered the depart
ment he was placed in charge of vice
squad, where he remained for ten weeks,
in that time having led his men in fifty
three raids In only two raids. he said,
did the news Of his coming reach tho
gambling house before he and his squad
got there. One was the incident Of
dice shooting place far uptown, and the
other "a gambling house IN Broad street.
When information OF a raid reaches
the house ahead Of the raiders the fact
must be considered suspicious at least"
declared the deputy. "As | said, IN only
two OF the ffty-three raids / engineered
did the information leak"
In his confession Rose is quoted rs
having stated that Herman Rosenthal
himself had two policemen detailed to the
raiding squad Of Lieutenant Becker
Joseph Michaelson and Charles Il. Foy.
"Rosenthal and Charlie Becker had an
arrangement that these two men were 10
work under Rosenthars instructions" p"
Rose Is alleged TO have said. ''He was 10
select certain poolrooms that these men
were 20 bring Becker evidence on"
From the information bureau at Police
Headquarters IL was learned that Michael
son was assigned 10 the squad on Febru-
ary 70. and remained there until April \.
NJ which time he was transferred to the
West 125th street station house. Foy was
assigned to the squad on December IL and
remained In the squad until April Is,
when he was sent TO the East 35th street
station house.
Commissioner Waldo remained away
from his Office yesterday. All day officinls
and newspaper men called. only to be
turned away

der and graft. whenever he was called
upon 10 do So.
Mr.. Whitman later verified this when
De said that Weber had not been intmi-
dated 10y any one and that, 50 far as
h. knew. no pressure had been brough.
To bear on Weber sine" the midnight
visit to his cell of man who repre-
sented himself as bringing warning
from the polio" inspector who will be
implicated by Neo-r's story Weber had
not changed in his attitude in any way
Mr. Whitman said and he would tell
his story az he was called upon 10 do

Becker, the uptown Inspector or any
one else who might be involved.
John Eastland. another eyewitness OF
the murder, who was able to corroborate
the previous stories OF the leiSurely man

who was not close enough SO that he
could Identify any OF them; Louis Smith

both friends OF "Dag0 Frank Cironci
told Of meeting him and talking with him
on several occasions the day before the
murder. but neither of them attempted TO
bolster up the near alibl which was first
advanced for that gunman.
So far as the testimony Of Rose Weber
and Vdllnsky was concerned. II was
understood afterward that their stories
had been thoroughly corroborative Of one
another ana they did not contradict one

What Is Wanted from Schepps.

TO complete the presentation Of the
murder case Mr.. Whitman Is anxious that
the grand jury delay the filing of indict-
ments until Schepps has been heard, be-
cause by that witness the District Attor-
ney expects TO prove. from the lips Of n
witness who will not be named as an ac-
complicc, the circumstances surrounding
tho preliminary trip OF the murder car
on the night of the crime.
Schepps was in the car for a part Of the
Monday night Just preceding the early
Tuesday morning murder. and can. If he
will. give the sist OF the conversation
That were heard there He can tell also
of the trip 10 ii0th street to pick NJ
"Dago Frank" and others, and it Is pretty
weil understood that II Schepps declines TO
tell what he knowy he will find himself in
cludel In the general murder charge.
II was reported that Louis Libby. half
owner OF the murder car, had decided to
give up what information he has TO the
District Attorney. Libby, Il was rumored
yesterday, was with the gamblers and
sunmen when the killing was first spoken
Of. and. according To the first plans, was
TO drive the automobile.
William j. Burns, the detective. had a
short talk with Mr. Whitman yesterday.
According to the District Attorney, Mr..
Burns told him generally OF his plans for
getting evidence in the case, but did not
report anything which appealed to him as
material that could be used for evidence
either in the murder or graft end of the
inquiry.
Burns said that he was going 10 get
IIorowitz' and that he was going TO get"
the men higher up in the graft game.

passed through here to-day, in charge Of

will be made in person 10 District AT.
torney Whitman and no other person. He
has been consistent in this declaration for
three days.
As to Bernard Sander the New York
attorney, who telegraphed schepps at Hot
Springs not to talk TO Mr.. Rubin until
his (Sandlcrs) arrival and not to leave
Hot SPRINGS then, Schepps's attitude is
puzzling.
Mr.. Rubin says Schepps told him that
telegram from Schepps's relatives re-
pudated Sander: that schepps never
saw Sander, and that he wanted 40 at
torney. but expected TO be in much more
favorable standing with Whitman's Office
because Of his position as a voluntary
witness Nevertheless Schepps, at Ben
ton Ark to-day urged that train,
which arrived there at the same time
as that of the Rubin party, be searched
To dnd whether Sander. en route to Hot
Springs was passenger Detective
Stewart examined each coach OF the
train. but Sander was not found.
Mr. Rubin declared that he did not wish
TO De put in the attitude OF having rushed
away with schepps after receiving tele-
gram that Sander was on route. and ex-
pressed the opinion that sehepps probably
was as much in ignorance of the real
mission of Sander as any one else in the
party. and was governed almost entirely
by curiosity and desire for novel ex-
pegieuces.
