provement Company, which was recently
offered for public subscription, has been
about 100000 oversubscribed. The

BECKER'S COUNSEL ARGUE
INDICTMENT IS ILLEGAL

After hearing arguments on the mo-
tons TO dismiss the indictment for muir
der in the FIRST degree against Lieutenant
Charles Becker. Judge MulQuecn, In Part
II Of General Sessions, yesterday reserved
decision. The same action was taken on
the motion 10 grant counsel for the de-
fence leave to inspect the grand jury
minutes.
When counsel OH both sides had finished
their arguments Judge Nulqueen asked
that briefs he submitted on Monday. He
week.
District Attorney Whitman appeared on
behalf OF the people. while John w. Hart,
Lloyd Stryker and George W. Whiteside
argued for the dismissal of the indict-
ment and for permission 10 see the grand
Jury minutes.
Becker escaped the ordeal OF going 10
court, and the crowd on hand was disap-
pointed when the accused policeman was
not brought In.
The proceedings, purely formal. opened
with the service OF q copy of an affidavit
made by Mr.. Whitesldo on the District
Attorney. Mr.. Hart read the AFFIDAVIT,
which was that George C. Penael, one OF
the grand jurors who found the indict-
ment against Becker. was not present on
previous days when testimony bearing on
the case was taken.
In reply TO this Mr.. Whitman sad 1t
was absurd to think that a grand Juror
should be present at every session. The

a quorum was present when tho lndlct-
ment was returned. lie protested against
the inspection of the grand jury minutes.
saying:
II vigorously object TO an inspection OF
the grand jury minutes by a man who, Il
IS charged, was associated with others In
the commission Of the most dastnrdly and
most notorious crime ever committed In
this county"
Mr.. Stryker then addressed the court,
IL being his task 20 set forth the conten-
tons OF the defence on which was based
the motion 20 dismiss. He declared that
the defence held that the Indictment was
based on evidence that did not constitute
legal proof and was insufficient for the
establishment of prlma fac!e case.
After Judge Mulqueen told both sides
to submit their memoranda on or before
Monday he ruled that the pleading to the
indictment would DO adjourned indefi.
nitely.
The ruling was purely formal and mere.

he lost about 800, 900 IN six months.
Dissatisfied with his partnership with

there were two gamblers in williams

might be collected. The raids followed
and then, according 20 Rose, after no

The men mentioned in Jack Roses
Confession as the two gamblers who
had been doing business in Williams
burg for fifteen years, and who. had
been three times raided by one Of Lieu
tenant Beckers strong arm" squads,
elthough no conviction was over Sc
cured against them, were said In Will
iamsburg last night to be Charles Ain
vicl; and his brother "Dorse." The
house, which was raided by Becker s
men, was at No. III South 9th street.
Roses story alleged that after the
first raid the gamblers came across
with protection money and set forth
that patrolrnan Foy, one Of the raiding

known as "Dici" Brown, who was d
bookmaker at the races and had the
reputation Of being somewhat Of a

killed Rosenthal. From what he mas
heard from these witnesses the DIS
trict Attorney is convinced that many
patrolmen who are not in any way
connected with the ring which might
have an interest in seeing Roscnthal
done away with did nevertheless sup
ply misleading information with regard
70 the murder and the escape of the
murderers.
Some of these witnesses have told
Mr.. Whitman that a man answering
the description Of Jack Sullivan was
in the gray automobile when 1t Whizzed
away from the Metropole, and this IN
spite Of the fact that Sullivan did pend
over Rosenthars body, and did ASH
him, "Who did It, Hymie?"
These witnesses are perfectly willing
10 do their duty and take the stand
when called upon 20 do so. but do not
believe they should be exposed to what
they regard as very real danger by
having their names disclosed pre-
maturely.
Apart from these additional witnesses
10 the murder, Mr. Whitman has re-
ceived similar confederation OF the
graft charges against Becker emDodled
in Roses statement. Rose sent down
10 the District Attorney yesterday ny
his brother. Moe Rose letter in which
he gave additional names and addresses
of protected" gamblers.
The same messenger brought Word
TO Mr.. Whitman that Bridge" Weber
would supply abundant corroborauon
for Roses story. as we'll as tell a story
Of his own which will implicate an in
spector who is said TO be as deeply IN
volved in graft as Becker. In his letter
to Mr.. Whitman yesterday Rose SAID
his memory had been refreshed by
talk with Weber. who was willing TO
aid in every way possible in laying bare
all the evidence of graft with which he
had come in contact
Becker's connection With Rose will
be absolutely proved before the grand
Jury day, it was said. Mr.. Whitman
vas satisfied OF this after Yesterdays
DEVELOPMENTS. and the information sup
piled by the two gamblers will then be
turned over to the Burns detectives for
further confederation.
When Mr.. McIntyre's statement was
repeated to Mr.. Whitman last night,
the District Attorney, asked to com
ment upon it. said:
The evidence in the case Of the Peo-
pie against Becker fully justified an In
dictment for murder In the first de-
gree. He is entitled to every doub:.
He must be proved guilty. II is his
right and the public should suspend
judgment, and hope they will.
mo man could be more anxious than
I am TO see him establish his innocence.
# he Is innocent. But I believe he Is
guilty"
Mr.. Whitman added he was glad that
Becker had retained Mr.. Mcintyre a.
his counsel, so that his interests would
be fully protected.
