Itheir work the District Attorney said
loo picht.

their work the District Attorney saiu
last night:
4 Fine Grand Jury.
~, Is one Of the finest Grand Jurles
I ever had to do with. II Is body OF
unusually Intelligent and energetic men.
The foreman. Oscar X. Cauchois. has
been Of great assistance to me and has
the whole situation at his finger tips. l
cannot. Of course. discuss their work
any further than to say that they are
intensely concerned as TO the meaning
and significance of the Rosenthal muir
der and that they mean to bring the
guilty to justice II II Is possible to do So
While talking about the Grand Jury
work the District Attorney indicated his
programme as to the trial for murder OF
Lieut.. Becker and the others accused.
There will be separate trials very prob
ably for each Of the seven or eight de-
PENDANTS. although II may be that the
four actual murderers can be put on
trial at the same time. MIR. whitman
wants to get the trials started as soon
as possible. He hopes to begin court
work by September.
II do not yet know myself whether
shall put Becker on trial first," said
MIR. whitman last night. but ! am
anxious to get the cases going. When
I start them shall try TO run them
straight through
The Investigation by special COM
mittee Of the Board of Aldermen IL not
likely In interfere In any way with the
trials of Becker and the others. As a
matter Of fact Mr.. whitman thinks
that the inve litigation may be helpful
A ,..f. 49,, Dr. "a
tained by the committee as it's counsel,
told Mr.. whitman yesterday that the
Aldermanlc investigation may last a
year. In that case. II was said yester
day. II will he necessary for the Board
Of Aldermen to make much larger
appropriation than has already been
set aside for the work. The sum of
$4,000 would be used up In a short
time.
Many Witnesses who Saw Mnrder.
Mr. Whitman said last night that he
il not worried as to the corroborat tion Of
the stories told by the informers as to
the murder. He has at least twelve
witnesses Of the murder itself and five
witnesses other than accom- Ices or
men implicated who can identify the
four murderers.
