Doyle, that he knew the identity of the two men designated in official papers of the case as John Doe and Richard Roe, who he said were with George McManus in a hotel room when Arnold Rothstein was fatally shot. McManus is held without bail on a short affidavit charging him with the murder, but the district attorney has indicated he does not believe, or at least is not sure, that McManus actually fired the shot. Although _acknowledging that he knows who John Doe and Richard Roe are, Banton would not divulge their names. He did say, however, they had no_police records. Banton earlier told reporters that “Titanic Tommy” Thomas, one of the gamblers held as material witnesses, had made a voluntary statement in which he told more than in previous morning. Workmen labored all day yesterday to right it. Some success was reported, but early today it sud- denly tilted at a sharp angle, letting river mud into the shaft. The seven dead were trapped in the mud. Two bodies had been recovered by noon. Work will continue until all bodies are recovered. This probably will require a day or two. FIEREEE Y Cranston, R.
