In the light of the implication of others, the investigation of the Dis- trict-Attorney is running along two parallel lines, One leads to confir- mation of the accusation that Lieut. Becker, now under arrest and in- dictment for murder, is the man who first suggested the killing of Ros enthal and was the guiding mind behind the plot. The other line is directed toward gathering information as to the correctness of Becker's statements to the gamblers that protection money was divided downtown | and possible information as to the part others may have played in plot- ting the Rosenthal assassination, SULLIVAN OFFERS STARTLING STATEMENT. Mr. Waitman is of the opinion that he will be overwhelmed with important information tending to strengthen the case against Becker within a short time. Now that Rose, Webber and Vallon, who admit that they planned the murder, have turned State's evidence, the minor figures in the plot are looking for a chance to get in out of the rain. The first of those under arrest to offer to confess—with certain restric- tions—is “Jack Sullivan,” who rode uptown in an automobile with Becker and got out of the car at Forty‘second street and Sixt avenue half an hour before Rosenthal was shot down, Sullivan, through his counsel, asks for more than the District- ‘Attorney is willing to give. Mr. Whitman insists that he made no promises of immunity to Webber, Rose and Vallon and that the minor actors in the tragedy will have to take the same chances as those as- sumed by the principals. With development piling on development, a rush of confessions and offers of confessions {s anticipated. Gullivan has Jong borne the reputation of being tho “collector” not only for certain police officials, but for men associated with reform organizations Jeoking to the control of gambling, the social ovil and the excise situation. ‘The District-Attorney wants to get some line on Sullivan's goods before @ecepting them at Sullivan's terme. Lieut. Becker’s wife, accompanied by a friend of the family, visited “Becker in his cell in the Tombs at 11 o'clock to-day. Mrs. Becker sald abe was satisfied of her husband's innocence and knew that in the end be WOUM be able fo show that he was the victim of circumstances, WEBBER’S WIFE PERSUADED HIM TO CONFESS. At the time Mra. Becker was visiting the imprisoned lieutenant of police, Mrs. Louls Webber was visiting her husband, “Bridgie,” in the District- _ Attorney's office. From the visit of Mrs. Webber to her hushand arose the report.thet ft was ahe who was directly responsible for “Bridgie's” con- fession. ‘The story which came from an intimate friend of Webber recites that the gambler’s wife, after his arrest, on Sunday, July 21, went out and did some ‘sleuthing on her own account. By questioning employees in her husband's | gambling houses she became convinced that he was mixed up in the Rosen-| thal affair, Once this conviction became séttled in her mind, she urged her husband to tell all he knew and save himself.’ Mrs. Webber it was who engaged Max D. Steuer as counsel for her hus- band yesterday and paid the retainer—now sald to have been $1,000 instead of $10,000. A condition of the retainer was that Mr. Steuer was to force Webber to confess, However, Mr. Steuer’s task was easy. Webber and Vallon had already been informed that “Jack” Rove, suspicious that he was about to be “ ubbed” » by bh confederates, had arranged to make a statement to the District-At- . tarney, . It required no persuasion to get Webber to follow Rose's lead. POLICE PROMISE SPEEDY ARRESTS. + ~@econd Deputy Police Gommisstoner Dougherty and Inspector Hughes ot Wie Central Office epent an anxious and agitated period in and around the District-Attorney’s office before noon to-day. Dougherty had an au- dience with Mr. Whitman. As he was leaving he met James M. Sullivan, counsel for Jack Rose. “Didn't you say to me,” Dougherty asked Sullivan, “that I wouldn't want Rose to confess because he would implicate people in the Police Department, and didn't I say that Rose ought to confess anyhow?” “That's right,” agreed the lawyer. “That's what you said.” This appeared to satiaty Dougherty, and he left the building. A little . Mater Hughes was discovered looking for Dougherty. The Inspector ap | peared to be anxious to learn if Dougherty had said anything. When ques-| tioned, Hughes made this statement: “Inspector Dougherty and I bave known for more than a week who es- caped in the automobile from the Metropole, but it wouldn't have been wiso, to make an arrest before evidenco was In hand in the shape of a confession, Now that the confession has been made, we expect to round up our men | “'Gamblers Who Confess Plotting With Becker and Hiring the Assassins of Herman Rosenthal VIEWS OF A GAMBLER! Mayor Gaynor’s Idea of a Gambler: “The murder was unfortunate for him, but too much may be made of it. These miser- able outlaw gamblers are not worth living.” Lieut. Becker’s Idea of a Gambler: “What's the danger about Rosenthal? He's a dirty squealing —— and everybody'll say that the city is better off without him.” ‘ebber and Vallon ts nothing to what Sullivan can tell under proper con- ditions.” “Will Sullivan's confession involve men in the Police Department of higher rank than Becker’ Mr. Marshall waa asked. “For obvious reasons,” he replied, ‘I cannot answer that question.” “Will it invol Hecker?” the questioner continued, “To answer that would not be fair," answered Mr. Marshall. After his announcement that Sullivan was ready to confess, Mr, Marshall had a short talk with the District-Attorney. It was evident that Mr. Whiman Was not agreeable to any propotition looking to a confession from Sullivan not! made to the District-Attorney pr some member of his staff. Mr. Marshall sald| he would have further conference with bis client. MARSHALL HINTS AT PLOT BEHIND RETIREMENT. Hartford T. Marshall, who was counsel for Webber until Max D. Steuer was retained, w the verge of exploding to-cay, but declared that until certain things transpired he could not say @ word as to his sudden exit from the Webber defense. “I am still connected with the case as counsel for Jack Sullivan,” sald Mr. Marshall, “and all 1 can tell you at this time t# that Jack Sulllvan will tell the truth when he is called to testify.” Mr, Marshall way asked if ho knew why Steuer, who ts counsel for former City Chamberlain Charies H. Hyde, was called into the Webber defense, “I know, but I won't say,” replied the attorney. “I had « talk over the telephone with Mr. Steuer, and it was agreed that I should retire. ‘That is all I care to zay.” bd \ Mr. Marshall intimated that if he were not bound by professional ethics he would be In position to unfold @ story that would set the whole of New York talking. “1 couldn't stand for certain things that were going on," he added, “and so I Just got out of the care, except In so far as Sullivan ts concerned,” | Following the conference with Commissioner of Corrections Whitney to-day, | Mr. Whitman made arrangements, with Whitney's consent, to remove Webber, without delay.
