WHITMAN RAKES
| NEW YORK POLICE
| AS CONSP|RATORS
Detroit Attorney Openly Says
Killing of Gambler was Due
to Their System
HIGH OFFICIAL INVOLVED
IN ALLEGED GRAFT CASE
Prosecutor Pushes Independent
Investigation and Huge
Scandal is Imminent

NEW YORK, July 17.--With an
open feud existing between District
Attorney Whitman and the police au-
thorities developments of a sensation-
al character In the gambling situation
were imminent today. Whitman open
ly charged that Hermann Rosenthal
murdered in front OF the Hotel Metro
pole early yesterday. was a victim or
the police system. He said fatty that
he was killed not alone to close his
mouth, but the public place was se-
lected for the murder so that others
who might desire to "squeal' would
be terrorized.
The police denied bitterly Whit
mans Characterization. They said
that Rosenthal was killed because he
talked too much about the gambling
situation and that he was put out OF
the way by the downtown gambling
syndicate. They said they will prove
this with the arrest in a short time OF
every one of Rosenthals murderers.
But Whitman Is having an independ-
ent investigation made. He has posi-
lively asserted that he will place no
credence in any case the police may
furnish him. He positively declared
today that IL the police were sincere
they would have arrested the murder
ers on the spot.
There were five policemen within
900 feet of the shooting" said Whit
man today, two within 100 feet or
II and one within so. Yet five men
were allowed to shoot to pieces a
grand jury witness, get into an auto
mobile and escape without being seri-
ously inconvenienced. This at
o'clock In the morning on brilliantly
lighted street forty feet OF Broadway,
In front of place that was filled with
people. And after the assassins got
into their car the police made little
pretense of pursuit, not one got the
right number OF the car and they ar
rested as a criminal the man who
tried to give them the right number.
Just as this man Is about the give
the names OF eight or ten men who
could and would support his charges

shapes up most dangerously for the
| police, he Is killed. The public feels
this killing was a part of the work OF
great secret organization which can
defy the laws as IL pleases. This
killing has been frightful blow to the
| orderly execution of justice In this
country and one from which il will
take a long time TO recover although
will not rest until every man con.
cerned is punished"
Whitman today placed every mem.

the murder. He declared that he
would also, II necessary, engage all OF

Miss Jessie Graham head nurse. when
Miss Rosenbeck's body was discovered.
DR.. drummer signed the death certificate,
which was filed in the city health office
giving acute melancholia as the cause or
death. He refused TO talk about the case
yesterday.
Coroner Crosby said he did not make
the suicide public because the girls
parents and the hospital Authorities
wished 1t kept quiet. He said the law
does not compel him TO make public such
matters. He found no need for an In
quest, he said.
County Attorney English says County
Attorney Carrigan OF Blair, the girls
home town; Sheriff Menecke and two
other Blair persons came to Omaha I'M
mediately after the suicide to investigate.
He said he had nothing TO do with the
