DECLARES BECKER ORDERED
BAIL RAISED FOR HIM.
Now comes an interesting develop
ment. according to zeiiE. He says that
when Becker had perfected . case
AGAINST him II was Becker who set
about getting him released.
According to Zclig. Becker ordered
Jack" Rose to raise $4,000 among
gamblers 10 secure a bonding company
for zelig's bond. Zeiig also declares
that Sam Schspps aided In raising this
money. His testimony Is oorroborated
BY Rose. Weber and WALTON. and will
b corroborated later by Sam Paul.
Why. the District-Attorney asked. did
Becker have Zeaig arrested and later
secure his release on bail7 lie thinks
the answer win be found In that part
Of Jack" Roses confession dealing
Vith Becker's suggestion as to how
Essential was TO be finished"
Rose swears that BE skier said: 1T you
fellows don't put that squesier (Rosen-
hah N( he fra
the same as framed Zeiig. and send
you all up the river for seven years"
Then. according to Rose. Becker suy-
gested that zelig could furnish gun
nen who would kill Rosenthai for a
reasonable sum and authorized Rose 20
20 to zelig and open negotiations.
Here Rose and Zellg In their state
msnts run side BY side. They tell OF
Ress approaching zelig and telling how
Becker could drop the prosecution on
the gun-earrying charge In return for
favor. The favor was to be activity
- zsiigs part In the direction Of
furnishing gang" to kill Rosenthal
BELIEVED BEckER's POWER
SUPREME IN DEPARTMENT.
zelig says he thought Decker's
power In the Police Department was
supreme. He knew that Becker had
caused his arrest and his release on
ball. So he told Jack Rose where TO 20
to get In touch with men who would
DO the Job.
After leaving New York. Zelig says,
he located In Providence. II. l., keep
Ing In touch with his counsel. Charles
q. v. Wshls. and through Mr.. Wahlo
with the District-Aitorney. On Thurs

tive on the charge of being . "sus.
picious person." thrown into jaii and
