go and get the money from Rosen-
 When I went to the place on 18th 18th Becker must be crazy to ask that money from a place that had just op- ened up. Shortly afterWard Becker told me that complaints were pouring in on Police Commissioner Waldo that ROSenthaPS place was being run wide open He told me that he would have to do something and directed me. to tell Rosenthal that he would have to stand for raid. stalled him off on the raid, telling him that it would hurt business. But one day when met Becker in the Union Square Hotel, he told me that he had his mind made up that he would raid the place. begged and pleaded with him to apan- don the idea. I pointed out all the danger, especially as he told me that he was going to just raid the place without tryingto get the evidence the regular way
 the raid to keep his standing. Then I told him that I did not intend to be in the place when the raid came.
 Becker did raid the place and ar was visiting her, as well as ene of the men in the place. I was standing across the street when the raid was made. The next morning Rosenthal met Becker in court.
 :" That was a tough deal you gave me, last night was his greeting to Becker.
 "I just had to do it. Becker told him, as my job was hanging on it. But I will make it all right when the case goes down town, and I will see that everybody is turned out.
 Then Becker, because of the loss that Rosenthal was put to as the result of the raid, ordered his lawyer to can eel the mortgage and thought that this ended the matter. But they put a po- liceman on duty in Rosenthafs house and he was kept there despite Ros- enthaFs protests.
 -'Rosentha1 and Becker held several meetings, but they could not fix the matter up and the policeman stayed in the house. Rosentha1 was unable to do business and he was growing desperate. He finally threatened Becker with the district attorney: He told him that he would tell all he knew. I went to Becker and told him that we would be in bad if Rosenthal squealed, but he told me to keep quiet, that he had every angle covered saw Becker.
 "A few days later he came to my house and said that Rosentha1 had been phoning him daily, demanding that he take the policeman out of the gambling house. ell said that Ros- enthal had also been telling about town
 What else did Becker say?'' He said that Commissioner Waldo had sent for him and asked about the partnership story but that he had laughed it off"
 'ATell the jury what he said that would indicate his feeling toward Ros- enthal.''
 He said: "This fellow is getting dangerous and must be stopped
 What did he say about the news papers?'' Becker told me that Ros- enthal had been to the World and had given them an affidavit saying that they were partners. He said that when the commissioner asked him about this he told him that he intend ed suing RosenthaI for libel. Becker then said to me: taJck, they tell me this fellow is telling everyone, espe- ing to expose and break me. He tried to see Commissioner Waldo and has also given out a notice to the press which has not yet been published When he couldn't set McAdoo he tried to see Gaynor Now he is trying to get the ear of the district attorney. We must stop him. I tell you Jack, I want to have a private talk with you. You just did a favor with Jack Ze1ig. Now I. want you to send the word to ZeIig that if he and his friends want to save themselves much trouble they wane to get Rosenthal out of the way, as he is stirring up trouble in this city. There's only one thing to do. Rosenthal must be stopped. There is a fellow I would like to have croal1ed. Why, Jack. I rode in a, taxicab with him today and he banned members of you could croak him myself. but he has got to be croaked, that is all about it.
 q told Becker that I thought there ought to be some other way of putting Rosentha1 up. He told me mo-. that he would have to be killed and that ZeHs's men could do it. He said if they didn't he would frame every one of them up and send them up the river for long terms on, charges of carrying concealed weapons
 +rWhat was then said about Rosen- that?'' asked Moss. "I said to Beck er'' continued Rose. that there were other ways of shutting Rosenthal up, that I could go to him and warm him if he did not stop talking we could have the gang beat him up. This angered Becker. 3
 '' I don't want him beaten,' he said. T want him crooked. I will take care of the men who 10 the job. Do you know that the sentiment at police headquarters is such that they would give a man who crooked this - meda12 Now, I want you to go down to the Tombs and see Jack ZeFig and tell him I want Rosen- than stopped. Here is $1O0 you can give him.
 @1 went to the Tombs and saw Zelig and handed him the hundred. He said he did not want the money, he wanted to get out He accused me and Becker of framing him on a second offense charge of carrying con-
