Mr.. Sullivan consented to the application

With the taking of Rose to the Tombs
the District Attorney withdrew from the

Whitman has not appeared TO please
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, who
wanted more time to question Rose as
well az Libby and shapiro. But Whitman
took the stand that the investi CATION
would not be furthered by any more
questioning on the part Of the police and
decided that the prisoners should rest
under his custody alone.
Assembiyman Aaron > Levy had a
on that very point. The lawyer for
Shapiro and Libby went TO Whitman
in anything by an amiable frame Of mind
He thinks the police are spying on his
clients and he wants an order from the
District Attorney that he shall be per-

plain clothes who 10 oked like policemen

were brought to the counsel room these
men didn't go away. They hung around

Mr.. Levy, however. ha d business with
the Distric ct Attorney of greater import
than mere complaint that somebody
was eavesdropping He was there to
make a deliberate offer. on the part Of
Libby and Shapiro. TO aid the State as
witnesses.
By his account Libby knows nothing
about the murder of Rosenthal. but Sha-

Mr.. Levy insists that Shapiro has not

about the raiders and murderers. but
that he is holding his information for the
District Attorney in the hope Of being
leniently treated,
Shapiro realizes that he is In n bad
hole lie figures that he was deceived
as to the purpose of Rose and his other
patrons in hiring the gray car. and he
is sore clear through at the methods of
the police He is willing TO take chance
with the District Attorney. but he woudn I

To he the represent ative and that he knew
some kind of a job was being planned.
He himself had an idea that somebody
who had incurred the enmity of the strong
lads of the Sam Paul crowd was going
To get badly beaten up. But he had his
machine for hire; he was willing to make
$50 easily and he saw no reason why he
shouldn't drive.
Shapiro will contend that he wasn't
familiar with the details of the gang =
plans. and that he didn't know an ybody

that the gray car was going to be used

cause policemen knew what was going TO

The auto owners mind jumped TO the
conclusion that another gang fight was
to be pulled or probably in dark street
where the getaway would be swift and
sure.
