Whitman Hot After Police.
District Attorney Whitman today said
when asked if he would permit any OF
the Rosenthal murder conspirators to
eseapa by testifying before the grand
jury

goes every man in this case If | can
7 aiToc
men evidence I know exists. | will let
Shapiro and Libby and Bridge Weber
and sam Paul and Jack Rose himself
urn states witnesses if | can get the
police conspirators.
There are bigger men than Becker
in this case and / want them. What
has the police department, except
Doughertv. done? Nothing. They are
not doing anything now. Dougherty is
honest and on the level, but can he
swing this thing alone?
THE murder smells Of police conni-
vance For an hour before Rosenthal
was shot preparations were being made
IN Forty third street for the murder.
There were fifteen or sixteen men in it
~ the very least. The street was kept
clear of taxicabs
"Rosenthal was watched. The de-
tails were worked out in plain sight.
But the police were blind. After the
killing there was plenty Of time to get
the murderers. 1t was a leisurely Job.
But the police did not hurry any What
did they do about getting evidence
them Nothing. The only man they
held was young Gallagher, who gave
the correct automobile number after
half dozen policemen had reported
incorrect Numbers. And they locked
Gallagher up. In any other murder they
would have scurried around and ar
rested everybody in sight.
"Doughertv knows the police are
back of 1t. and that it was to the 40
vantage of certain policemen that no
seminal be murdered"
