When asked concerning the statement
or Martin T. Manton. In which the at
torney for Charles Becker denied that
he had given Gov. Whitman the names
Of five alleged grafters. the Governor
said
II have heard Of the statement. but l
have not read IL. II liz absurd. Becker
was under arrest a year and a half be-
fore the present New York city adminls-
tration came into power"
The Governor appeared to regard the
whole matter AZ hardly worthy OF his
consideration. He said MI. Manton him
self had given the names of the men
implicated in the alleged grating to the
newspapers.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-08-01

The Governor said:
"'Manton, YOU need not answer this
unless you want to. but can Becker
give me anything on this municipal adj
m~inlstration?'
II said I do not know. You had
better get that at first hand from
Becker's lips
He then went on to mention -four
names. three OF which he said were

he named five men. three OF whom are

After Mr.. Manton had made the

as Becker had stipulated that no one
was to hear II but the Governor. Mr..
Manton added
IF ! made public the names such pub

And the next day Gov. Whitman said {:
"Mr. Manton gave me no information
whatever relative to graft or to the
murder of Rosenthal. He did state to
me substantially hat he believed that
