New York, July 19.—Private detec- tives were brought Into the Rosenthal murder case today by District Attor- ney Whitman. They were engaged by a committee of citiwens, who shared the prosecutor's evident dissatisfaction with the lack of results achleved by the police department in tracing the slayers of the gambler who was shot after making charges of police part- nership with the gambling fraternity, No Measures to Protect Rosenthal. Attention was called to what were declared “ to be lamentable omissions Yy the police in guarding against the yscape of Rosenthal's slayers Monday it and lack of properly directed activity since. It is declared that the ptory that Rosenthal was to be killed was in wide circulation among the past side resorts Monday evening, but that if any report of it reached head- guarters no measures were taken to protect the gambler. Police Get Wrong Auto Number. Tt was also commented on that six policemen nearby did not fire a shot or blow a whistle to stop the murder party after the shooting; that the number of the “murder car” was re- ported four different ways—all erro- neous—by as many policemen, while & citizen got it right; that it was left to the district attorney to uncover most -of the important evidence thus far available to trace the murders; that men known to have talked over the prospective assassination of Rosen- thal the day before it occurred while on an outing, have either not been rested, or taken and let go on small afl, or in the case of one, held only bacause the district attorney insisted wpon it. Whitman Questions Auto Owners. The independent course of the dis- trict attorney was indicated ‘today when he summoned from the Tombs Louis Libby and Willlam Shapiro, | owners of the automobile used by the murder party and heard them make what may be important disclosures. Neither Mr. Whitman por Assembly- man Aaron Levy, counsel for the two men, would discuss what Libby and Shapiro had revealed. Mr, Levy said he and Mr. Whitman had agreed to give out no further information. Not long before, however, the lawyer had had & two-hour conference Wwith his clienis and made a brief statement regarding it. Bensational Disclosures Likely. “They have told me things that I @i not know before” he sald. “If Mr, Whitman desfres to hear my clients he will Jearn of disclosures which will make the public gasp when they are published.” “Do the diseiosures lead up to the pollce department? was asked. “That {8 a very dangerous point,” said the attornmey, “and I cannot dis- cuss It Detectives Present at Inquiry. At the questioning of the prisoners by the district attorney, which fol- lowed shortly, no members of the po- lice department were prefent. With the party, however, were two of the private detectives who had been called into the scase. This independent act of the prose- cutor was taken despite a statement by Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty, who said this afternoon he wanted it understood that he was working in co-operation with Mr. ‘Whitman. There was absolutely mno friction between the police department and the district attorney’s office, Mr. Dougherty declared. Police Accomplish Nothing. The private detectives hurried away after the conference and Mr. Whitman declared that he was going out of town on an important mission. “The case is progressing very satisfactor- ily,” was all he would say. From the police side of the investi- gation there were few important de- velopments on the surface today. Nothing had been seen of “Big Jack” Zelig, the notorfous “gun man,” whom the police were said to be anxious to question Sam Paul Won’t Talk. They had heard that “Jack” Rose, the gambler and the man who hired | the “murder car,” had asked a favor of him on the night of the crime Ze- lig is known as the right hand man of Sam Paul, an east side gang leader. The rewarq declared to have been of- fered him was freedom from the charge of carrying a concealed weap- on, which is now pending against him. Sam Paul, however, was .at police | headquarters during the ' afternoon. When he went away he declined to make any . statement. Paid $2,000 for the Murder. In quarters usually well informed regarding “under world” affairs, it was sald today that the price paid for the killing of Rosenthal had heen learned by the police. The figure named was $2,000. The identity of at least two of the five men who were in the murder party is known in these quarters, it was added, and they are said to have been seen on east side streets several times since Monday night. Beoker Shorn of Detectives. Police Lieuteriant Charles Becker, the man accused by Rosenthal in his first revelations of alleged partnership between gamblers ang police, had the greater part of the “strong arm” squad which he commanded, taken away from him today, Commissioner Wi gave the order which transferred eight of these detecttves to another lieuten- ant, Four - detectives were left In Becker’s office to clean up some pend- | ing work, it wes sald.
