WHITMAN TIGHTENS NET
ON SLAYERS OF BAFF
Bartender's Confession Reveals De-
tails of Plot to Kill Victim.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The police be-
liove they have all OF the missing threads
in the Ban murder case within their
grasp. Carl Rettich, a Hoboken bar
tender, who was arrested yesterday on
his refusal to testify concerning an al
legged conversation between the gang
sters and the men higher up" which
took place In the saloon where Rettlch
worked, showed a chastened spirit this
morning and is expected to give up all
the facts in his possession.
The police believe he saw the actual
payment OF the blood money which re-
suited in Bars assassination
Rettich has made a complete confess
sion to the District Attorney on every
point but one-where he got the money
10 retain Abraham Harawits, a lawyer,
to defend James Moore when the latter
was arrested. But he has furnished Mr.
Whitman with exact information as to
the time and place where the plot was
Matched that resulted in the murder, and

DESERVING MOTHER
BEARS UP BRAVELY
UNDER BIG STRAIN

spite Woman's Heroic
Efforts to Keep Wolf
From Their Door.

The wolf has been chased away from
the door of a certain family of hve for a
little while. but he is not very far away
and he may come back The father in
this family is too Ill to work. The
mother is the sole bread winner Some
day Mary, her oldest daughter, will be
able to help, but that will not be for FIVE
years, as Mary is but years old now.
Francis r. Lowell. young college
graduate who wanted to make somebody
happier this Christmas. found this fam
lily. They are not of the type that ac-
cepts charity or the children might now
be in institutions.
The mother Is a scrub woman now.
Once upon a time she presided over
comfortable home, Just like the
thousands of well-furnished, thriving,
two-story palaces that have made Phila-
delphia famous. Then the fathers health
failed. Whenever he is strong enough he
goes out now to look for work. but he is
never able to remain at 1t when he gets
II.
So the mother has taken over the con-
tract OF supporting her husband. Mary,
Alfonso. s years old. and William, 3 years
old, and she has been doing 1t now for
more than a year on $22 a month. The
grocer near her home runs book ac-
counts, but not with this woman. She
does not owe n cent. The butcher does
not know her. The family never eats
meat.
Everything has not been plain sailing
In the last year. Thin soup and stale
bread have been the staples In this little
home There have been doctor bills now
and then, and when these come along
they break up the painfully figured out
allotment OF the $22 a month. The wife
and mothers wedding ring went to
dealer In old gold after one of these oc-
casions.
When the mar who investigated went
to the house he learned that little Mary
had written a note to Santa Claus Among
other things she had asked for some
meat for a Christmas dinner. Mary eX-
planned she likes meat. She remembers
having eaten small piece early last
summer and it was good. she says
Mr.. Lowell has contributed a weeks
salary to provide a Christmas tree, a
good dinner and some small gifts to the
members OF the family He also has re-
ceived a few contributions but not enough
to keep the wolf away very long. Unless
more food and clothing are obtained the
woman breadwinner is going to have
difficult time.
