Rose, at any rate, stepped out of @ taxicab in front of Police Head- quarters today, walked unrecognized past a score of detectives and went ap the elevator to Commissioner Waldo’s office, Tho policeman on duty there also failed to recognize him. Told that the Commissioner was not in, he went away, saying he would He did not leave his name, but he kept the! appointment. Commissioner Waldo turned him over to Deputy Commis: | be back in a quarter of an hour. HMoner Dougherty at once. Rose, guarded by Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and Inspector Hughes, was hurried to the District-Attorney's office and before District: Attorney Whitman and the Coroner when his police examination was com- pleted. OFFICIAL VERSION OF ROSE’S STATEMEN’ Deputy Commissioner Dougherty received Rose in his office at 9 o'clock | exactly. An hour and a half later the reporters were called into the office of Inspector Hughes, where the Deputy Commissioner and Inspector Hugbes gave out jointly the following statement: “Jack Rose has told us that he did hire the gray car owned by Libby and Shapiro and used by the men who killed Rosenthal. His right name !s Jacob Rose. He is known as ‘Hilliard Ball Jack’ be- cause he lost all his hair twenty years ago when {I] with tyhpold fever, He was a partner of Rosenthal and lately has been his enemy. “Rose appeared here because of messages we sent him through ‘Bridgie’ Webber and Sam Paul that it would be better for him to come down to this office because we had him covered, anyway. “The man denies positively that he was in the car when tho murder was committed, This admission of bis {s important because ft supplements and corroborates exactly the statements of Shapiro as to the occupants of the automobile. “The statements of Rose as to his own actual whereabouts at the moment of the murder are vague. He saya that after visiting several places uptown he left the automobile at Jack's and that the others went on around the corner of Forty-third street. “Now, suppose a man, not necessarily Rose, had hired an auto- mobile which was to be used in a murder, That man would not want to be seen near the scene of the murder. But he would want to know, if not to see from a distance, what was going on; he would want to see that the murderers had a safe getaway. “The statements made by Rose as to the other occupants of the automobile also corroborate everything Shapiro has told us, ROSE DID NOT IMPLICATE BECKER. “Did Rose in his statement in any way implicate Lieut. Dougherty was asked. eplied. Reokert” Deputy “No,” he “Did he clear Becker of all suspicion?” | "The time has been too short to go into the thing far enough to make an enewer to that question,” answered the Deputy Commiasioner. “Was Becker present when you talked with Rose?’ “By a misunderstanding he walked into my office while the Inspector and I were talking with Paul. I never question two persons at onc “sot him ‘ , to Web® otis: ‘Word came from New Haven early to-day that the police there had mis- @gkenly arrested @ man ae Nathan Swarts, the slayer of Julia Connors, and fhad found on him a coat filled with papers belonging to Jack Rose.

In reaponse to a letter trom Mayor Gaynor to Commiasioner Walio to-day, Lieut. Becker and Policemen Foy, Steinhart and White were sent to the Mayor to-day. None of the policemen seemed to have enjoyed themeelves when they returned to Police Headquarters, Commissioner Waldo was present during most of their interview. Twenty minutes after the arrival of Mayor Gaynor at City Hali, Lieut. Becker entered the Mayor's office in response to a eummons On the steps Becker was met by several friends, who grasped we hand. One said: “Hello Parley you don't look as if you were troubled “Not in the Jeast—not in the least” answered the iteuinant as he returned the handshakes, and then hurried into the office of the Mayor. He was admitted Promptly. It wae understood that be was taken at once into the presence of the Mayor. ‘Ten minutes after the arrival of Becker, Police Commissioner Waldo walked Driskly into the Mayor's office. The Commissioner declined to talk with re- perters, but bustied through the doors leading to the private office of the Mayor. Recker wes ted with the Mayor when the Commissionr entered. He re- mained throughout the discussion. Nelther Commissioner Waldo nor Lieut. Becker woukt say what had taken 00. me rou know I was in to see the Mayor, That is all.

To Fitzgerald Becker talked extensively in undertones, The two men kept their heads close together. was getting ready to snap the pair whon a hanger-on ex- king them to Fitzgerald and Becker parted, Becker slipping a pair of glasses upon his @yes and hurrying to the rear exit, the photographer following. The latter Pursued Becker to a point near the City Hall subway entrance, There Becker suddenly turned and shouted: “Don't you dare take my picture, I warn you,” ehaking his finger under the photographer's nose. “If you try it again I shall have this officer here arrest you," continued Becker, indicating a patrolman who had been summoned with Aim to the Mayor's office and who ‘stood be- side him Becker walked away with Potcemen Foy and Steinhardt. “ALL THE COPS FIXED,” SHAPIRO WAS TOLD, Lawyer Aaron J. Levy, counsel for Sharsro and Libby, issued an additional statement to-day as follows: ‘Bhapiro tells mo that after the shooting he was working with his motor and Pretended that it wouldn't start. One of the party said, ‘Don't stall that engine. You'd better Ket started, and be quick about it.’ “Bhapiro says he still hesitated, at which one of the men said, ‘Go on, you —~ fool, get started!

Webber had failed to account satisfac- torlly for his time early Monday evening. Under pressure he admitted that he had met Lieut. Wall and another policeman, who had been on sentry duty at hia gambiing house. They were off duty. A newspaper man in the taxicab! with Webber invited the policemen to go with him to the fight in Madison Square Gerden and they had accepted. ‘The two policemen were summoned to Headquarters and corroborated his story. Policeman William File, who was in and about the Metropole before and during the murder and failed to accomplish anything toward protecting Rosen- thal or catching thevfleeing assassins, was to-day suspended pending charges of ineMctency and neglect of duty, WHY JACK ROSE WAS PUT ON GRILL. Among the reasona why Jack Rose was ao anxiously sought are these facts: In Roventhat’s affidavit, made a day or two before his assassination, he said that when he opened his gambling house in West Forty-fitth street in March, partly with money he declared Ideut, Becker lent him, Becker put “Jack” Rose there as his (Becker's) collector, Rose is understood to have been tn the apartment of Dora Gilbert, Rosenthal's divorced wife, while she was making an affidavit for a repre- eentative of Becker Monday night. The lawyers .who negotiated the mortgage transaction for Rosenthal, by which he got $1,500, say “Jack” Rose wae the iender of the money, yet {t is known that Rose was at the time representing himself as “broke” and was borrowing money. Now comes Assemblyman Aaron Levy, counsel for Louls Libby and ‘William Shapiro, owners of the car used by the assassins, and says his clients declare “Jack” Rose hired the car and was in it when it started from in front of the Cafe Boulevard on {ts mission of murder, Whether he was still with the crowd at the time of the shooting, Shapiro, who was Ariving, could not say. The principal distinction of Rose among gamblers {s his surpassing skill at Poker, He ts noted among professional gamblers as one of the shrewdest, most skiiful and least emotional of the followers of the game from Yonkers to the Battery. There are now four investizations under way into circumstances connected with the Rosenthal murder. The police and the District-Attorney are making separate inquiries, the Grand Jury ts looking into the charges Rosenthal made against leut, Becker, and Mayor Gaynor is understood to be making @ quiet investigation of his own into the whole affair. When the police announced that they had arrested a man named Clark, with the allas of Koch, as a necessary witness in connection with Rosenthal’s munter many persons believed that the man meant was William Koch, a man well known among Broadway followers of sports, William Koch has in no way, directly or Indirectly, been connected with the Rosenthal cose, GAYNOR SCORES LIEUTENANT BECKER (Continued from First Page. respect for the police raised so high that the accusations of such a char- acter would not be extenstvely credited, His successive places have been entered by the police under warrants and held possebsion of one after another for over two years, And I now see that he was at war with the police and Mr. Jerome before I becamo Mayor, But hé grew more deflant and vindictive all the while, Those who killed him will be found no doubt and their motives 4! do's office An explosi nd told his name n He was there yulekly wax r led to nd Jack Rose, He ts tall, slender | henute Dongherts's ron and smooth faced.

The weapon Was eight inches long. There was also @ pocket mirror, the linen collar on which a message had been written, and @ bundle of newspapers with sentences and notes scrawled in the blank spaces. It was remarked that the knife must have been the one used by Swarts to mutilate and tear Julla Connors's body, for it bore dark stains. Efforts had been made to clean the blade. Swartz evidently was afrald to get rid of the weapon, and carried !t with him to his last hiding place. The slayer probably had picked up the knife in the vacant apartment. It looked like @ painter's scraper, At 945 o'clock Phillip Swarts, the fifteen-year-old brother of the mur- derer, came to the room where the body He was accompanied by Lieut. McKenna.
