'RETTICH TO REVEAL
BAFF MURDER PLOT
story Told by Bartender to
Whitman to BE Repeated
to Grand Jury.
PLAN TO TNDICT FOUR

Carl Rettich will go before the Grand
Jury to-day to tell what he says Is all he
knows about a meeting in his fathers
saloon in Tobokcn of men who District
Attorney Whitman believes are RESPONSE
BILE for tho murder OF Barnett Ban In
West Washington Market on November
% Rettich Is the young man who was
sent to the Tombs by Judge Malone on
Tuesday because he refused to answer
questions which the District Attorney put
To him in the Grand Jury room.
Mr. whitman spent most OF the day try
ing to get from Rcttich "A confession that
the men who instigated the murder gave
him $3.50 to nay to the GUNNER ana To de-
fray such other preliminary expenses as
might accrue through the arrest OF per
sons connected with the crime. Rettich
refused on Tuesday TO answer any qucs-
tions, but yesterday he told the District
Attorney a story that gocs far toward
clearing up tho murder mystery ana tow
ard establishing the Identity Of the men
who are responsible for II.
Mr. Whitman believes that n Rettich
sticks to this story to-day In the Grand
Jury room indictments will be returned
against at least four Of the men now IN
custody.
All sorts ~ pressure N,~ brought 20
bear upon Rettich yesterday. His brother
Walter. a travelling salesman. met him In
the District Attorneys office and told him
that his mother was completely broken
IN over his arrest and desired more than
anything else that he should tell all he
knows, whatever tho consequences.
The theory OF the District Attorney,
confirmed h, the information gathered by
the detectives who have worked on the
case since the night Of the murdet, is
that two men now under arrest went 10
the saloon in Hoboken after the murder
and gave Rettch money which he in turn
paid to the gunner.
Mr.. Whitman said yesterday that he is
not at all discouraged BY the difficulties
involved in establishing this connection
but he will probably not ask for indict-
ments to-day.
The witnesses before the Grand jury
yesterday were fsdor Ban. younger son
/ Of tho murdered man. Robert Renield,
Samuel Forster. Isidor Gonkin and Po-
lceman Kelly The four last named were
witnesses of the murder and are expected
TO identify the gunner when they are
brought into court.
