But my! didn’t Julle make @ splash in the Newport pool when she eloped with the handsome young chauffeur that day last Auguet. They had {t all planned, did this pretty young helress to large money and her chauffeur lover. They skipped out tn Jack's auto, raced over the roads to Central Village, Conn., and there presented themselves before the Rev. L. EB. Perry, a pastor trom Hudson, N. H., who was spending tion there. They were i then they went to Springfleld, Mass,, on their wedding trip. Of course Papa and Mamma French were outraged beyond recall.

Hart Reluctantly Admits Seeing Rose While in Hiding, at Lieuten- ant’s Request, to Get Affidavit Bearing on Graft Charges. ~ COURT FORCES ANSWERS THAT LINK EVIDENCE. Rose Declares Affidavit Was Ex- torted Under Threat to Leave Him “Unprotected.” In an effort to place on the record of the case legal proof that I ‘eut, Charles Becker communicated with, advised and directed “Jack” Rose while the latter was in hiding following the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the District-Attorney summoned to-day before the Grand Jury as a wite ness John W. Hart, attorney for Becker. Hart was asked if he did fot visit Rose in the latter's hiding place between the time of the murder and the surrender of Rose and procure from Rose an affidavit to Becker's advantage. The attorney at first refused to reply to the question. He was jtaken before Judge Mulqueen and directed to answer. Under the probe of questions put by the District-Attorney and his assistant, Frank Moss, Mr, Hart was before the Grand Jury an hour and forty minutes and was directed to return next Tuesday. In a statement made after he left the Grand Jury room Mr. Hart claimed he secured from Becker on a mortgage, and the charge of Rosen- thal that Becker demanded and received 20 percent. of the Profits of Rosenthal’s gambling house. At the time he took the affidavit, Mr. Hart said, he did not know Rose was accused of complicity in the murder. FOUGHT HARD AGAINST ANSWERING. Mr. Hart was served with a subpoena at his office, No. 60 Broad- ib 7 admitted that he had, in preparing the defense of his client, visited Rose AT NEW YORK, subsequent to the murder of Rosenthal and procured an affidavit. The cincinnatio Gama. i attidavit, he said, dealt solely with the loan of $1,500 which Rosenthal ooo1 5 i Becker, The detective hurried Mr. Hart to the Grand Jury room, first calling on the District-Attorney and Mr. Moss, and when the question \Hired with Three Other Gunmen, was put, Mr. Hart's refusal to answer made necessary a consultation with But Only “Whitey” Lewis or “Lefty Louie” Fired Judge Mulqueen, who has the Grand Jury in charge. The members of the Grand Jury, Mr. Whitman, Mr. Moss and Mr. Hart went to Judge Mulqueen’s court. There Mr. Whitman announced that Hart was a re- calcitrant witness and asked that he be directed to answer questions. One interesting bit, which was brought out by Whitman when he had Hart before the Grand Jury, was the statement by Becker's lawyen “Dago Frank” Clrofici, one of the four accused of the actual murier that on every move he has made in connection with the protection of He will bo taken| Becker's interests since he, Hart, was first engaged by the accused police NOT HAVE ‘WATSON ACT,| before the Grand Jury, where he will tell how Rosenthal was surrounded] licutenant, he has consulted with William Travers Jerome.
