His thick lips reeking profanity,
his tale foul with the slime OF New

by Bald Jack" Rose, "Brldgie" Web

You say you talked with Rose

they killed Rosenthal?" was Whit.

Yes. was Sullivans reply after
he had twisted and squirmed SO that
the question had TO be four times re-
peated.
Don't you know that not one gun
man was arrested until long after
that, and that there was then not a
whisper of their names in the case?
And the rest OF your story is as true
as this?"
At this shot Sullivan, trying TO
shout explanations. yisibly quailed in
his chair. and Becker covered MS
face with his hand.
Isn't IL fact that you are known
as the worst cadet on the east side ?
Didn't YOU live by the earnings OF
prostitutes? Wasn't it your business
in 1908 to bail these women OF the
street? Did You not perjure yourself
TO this jury when you denied that
you had ever profted by their
shame?"
All these questions Sullivan shout
insly denied. but Whitman. by the
production OF records. forced him TO
admit that all were true.
That neither Charles Becker
nor his wife will take the stand
to deny that Becker forced the
Staying Of Gambler Rosenthal was
the declaration of Becker's chief coun-
