It is said Burns has been engaged by private citizens to i assist District-Attorney Whitman to go to the bottom of the murder of ‘ * Herman Rosenthal, the gambler and informer against the alleged partner- | ship betwee: police and gamblers, Burns arrived to take full charge of the inquiry. He was met at his offices by a score or more of his opera- tives from almost as matiy cilies, who arrived with. baggage in their = hands and with every evidence of having been hurriedly summoned. Mr. Burns said that he was too busy and that the matters occupy- ing his attention were too urgent for him to take time to make any public statements about it. His men were sent in to see him and a signed to ‘hurried tasks almost as soon as they arrived, While Burns was getting to work the appearance of an autémobile belonging to Sadie Bernard, said to be related to Sam and Dick Bernard, the actors, caused something of a disturbance at Police Headquarters, Dick Bernard was an intimate friend of Herman Rosenthal and was one of the last of those who warned him to leave town on the Monday evening before he was killed, saying that he was sure that a murder plot forming against him. stated that there was no hope for him and that his death was only a question of hours.

The young woman believed to have been Miss Bernard and another young woman who was with her were separately escorted to Deputy Commissioner's office, closely followed by Dick Bernard. Whey they emerged there was a crowd about the entrance of the building. It had collected about the automobile which brought them, following it as the car circled slowly about the building and hooting in derision of the sup- posed repetition of the summoning of witnesses to Headquarters by the “pink tea” method. The chauffeur of the machine, apparently believing that his party had left the building while he was attempting to escape the mob of curio- sity seekers, left and went uptown, His passengers came out a few min- utes later and one of the young women was so much overcome by the sight of the crowd that she fainted, She was revived in the banking house of Adeli Paoli at Mulberry and Broome streets. There members of the strong arm squad, assisted by the reserves from the Mulberry street sta- tion, escorted the pair out of the neighborhood, “Bridgie” Webber, who is out on bail of $100 as a material witness, was in the automobile when it arrived at Headquarters. He attempted to prevent photographers from taking pictures of the women of the party when they were entering, and went back to the tonneau, and, was still there when the chauffeur fled uptown. In the midst of all the excitement over the Bernard automobile, a couple, who were afterwards explained to be “Lefty” Ja Lewis of Harlem, the owner of a saloon and the president of the Jack Lewig Association, with a woman he introduced as his wife, appeared at another door of Headquarters, Lewis came downtown with the understanding r that he had an opportunity to clear himself of confusion of identity with an East Side gangtighter of similar name, who has been mentioned in }connection with the murd Deputy Commissioner Dougherty was | apparently satisfied with his explanation and allowed him to go, The intensity of feeling in the all-night district aroused by the con- | flicting interests following the murder of Rosenthal was exemplified late \this afternoon when a low-browed young man walked into the West |: Forty-fifth street oarber shop of John Reisler, known as “John the Bare ; ber,” who has a wide acquaintance among all sortsyof sporting people 3." tJ
