Mr: fmined, on this visit, to get If possible, the full story of the vt ee Herman Rosenthal from the three informers. The Disirict-Attorney knows well that Rose, Webber and Vatlon. thave not told all they know about the plot, or the murder, or ithe | abouts of the actual assassins. Nor does be believe that Rose has revealed the full inwardness of the system of collecting graft in the Tenderloin. in a talk with the three prisoners earlier in the day, Mr. Whitman given to understand that new facts would be revealed this after- Rose and Webber have had an opportunity to think up details, and Rose has been working on a tabulation of gamblers who contributed to the graft fund and the amounts so collected, Considerable of the District-Attorney’s time at the West Side Prison taken up with the questioning of “Bridgie’ Webber. Mr. Whitman has intormation that Webber, as well as Rose, was a collector for a police official in the Tenderloin gathering toll, however, from illegal places other than gambling houses, such as opium joints and similar dives District-Attorney Whitman is preparing a round-up of the gamblers of New York before the Grand Jury. Through “Jack” Rose and from other sources he has obtained the names of scores of gambling ‘nouse and poolroom keepers who are alleged to have paid graft to police officers for the privilege of doing business, and these men will be asked how much they paid and to whom, In many cases the District-Attorney will be able to put on the per- jury screws if the gamblers do not come across with truthful informa- tion. The Dowling law makes possible such a move as Mr. Whitman is planning. WITNESSES VOLUNTEER, BUT FEAR “SYSTEM.” Not only does the District-Attomney look for amazing enlightenment from the gamblers who will testify under the force of subpoenas, but he is expecting great assistance from volunteers who have complained to him that they have paid for protection and protection has not been forthcoming. The office of the District-Attorney has been bombarded where Wits wa ‘| with offers from men and women to come forth with testimony if pro- tection from police vengeance is guaranteed. Volumes of information have been gathered during the past week concerning blackmail alleged to haye been levied on disorderly houses - jand other dives in the Tenderloin. From the information: at hand the A | District.
