friends" Dan went on, but don't care now what he says about my turnin' out on him at last. He's been scared of it, I know
 Well, when Bridgie and Harry ad- mitted what they'd almost done, Jack says Boys. you and I've been brought up together; we've got into this thing together, so now let's get out of it to- sether. I've been up in the District Attorneys off1ce, and know who they suspect up there.
 Wen Give Him Becker
 Boys. Whitman thinks BeckeY's back of it. He's craving for Becker. By --,- we'll give him Becker
 That same night they fixed up the story they'd tell and a few days later they made their squawk"'
 Dan was asked why he gave MT. Whitman the tip on who was respon- sible for Rosenthars death.
 Herman was my beet friend" Dan answered, quietly. "wouldn't you do what you could to get somebody who'd croaked your best friend, Whitman was the only weapon I had. I'd have killed Webber myself, but I ain't MO murderer. I'm not saited that way.
 RoAc Ienorant Of Visit.
 Rose don't know to this day that went to Whitman. Day and night af- ter Herman wac killed thoukht about going. Then, at last. I called him up on the telephone and took a voluntary subpoena. I'm no soueaf. CT, but if that's souawk, then~l1 sduawked
 Man to man, Judge, I said. you'll keep me out Of this, won't you?'
 ' Yes, I will, he said, and he did. When l first went in to him right of he said, How about Becker? Don't you think Becker is back of it?' [ was never so surprised in my fife. How should I know? I says. Tt's Webber.
 Tells Why He Kept story.
 Dan explained why he did not tell his story to save the gunmen
 I'd have done ten years to save those boys?' he said. but Jack didn't tell me how the three of them had put Becker across until too late. He told me little bit in January. 1914. when I WAS at South Norwalk with him; then he told me d lot more when he and friend got drunk at the
 
 May, and lots of times since. It was too late to help the gunn1en then"
 Why are you telling this to save Becker now?" he was asked.
 Its not so much that I want 10 save him." said Dan. What in hell do care about cop, anyway? Tine cops never gave me a square deal. Only never thought this thing would get So far. And, then, too, I want to show up the man who wanted to get Whitman from the start.
 Public Sentiment Above All.
 It aint getting me anything to tell this. I'm here now, and I got to de my bit. But I'm not afraid of any body higher up. There's something higher even than the Governor. and that's public sentiment. don't care anything about Becker. I don't even know him more than by sight. But know he didn't get Herman killed, and it ain't right they should sacrifice him, because he was put ncross for it."
 Dams statement Mas been given to Becker's attorneys, the firm of Coek-l ran & Manton. John B. Johnston a member of tie 7rri, had tAlk with Harris and took the paper. Tie would not give any information yes terday as to the plans for it's Gispo- sition
