He could order a most exquisite dinner even when the entire menu was written in hotel French But the Joy of Uving was interrupted when he began to have stomach trouble, He went to the doctors and they looked . grave. Then they put him on a diet, but he grew worse. He hired a doctor by the year, and the doctor was his constant companion, who shook a warning finger when “Diamond Jim” to partake of more two of milk toast.

Bank Officials Questioned About Becker’s Deposits of $9,000 During Month of May. “Jack” Rose and “Bridgie” Webber were the leading witnesses be- fore the Grand Jury this afternoon im the investigation into the slaying of Herman Rosenthal and the circumstances that brought about the trag- edy. Although the Grand Jury devoted much attention during the ses- sion to the actual murder, Rose and Webber swore to an amazing story of police graft that reached its climax in, the gambler’s murder. The two informers were nervous and ill at ease as they sat in ay ante room with a dozen other witnesses and ai heir turn. The ob- s was not disclosed, but he Is supposed to have been influenced by rumors that Rose and Webber had many witnesses who have been subpoenac.t have decided to content themselves with telling all they know about the murder and as little as they possibly can tell about police graft. ROSE HARRIS BEFORE GRAND JURY. An important witness before the Grand Jury in the murder inquiry was Rose Harris, in whose rooms in Harlem “Dago Frank" Cirofici was arrested. The very fact that Rose Harris went before the Grand Jury indicated that she had been brought over to the side of the District Attorney by Deputy Commissioner Doughetry, in whose custody she has been since her arrest. Rose Harris was, up to a couple of months ago, Cirofici’s “girl.” They separated, but kept up a sort of friendship. When “Dago Frank’ was arrested he proceeded to produce an alibi showing that he was at the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street police station offering bail for Rose Harris, who had been arrested a few minutes after Rosenthal was killed in Forty-third street.

During the Grand Jury investigation this afternoon District-At- ” torney Whitman made a final effort to force a confession from Willlam Shapiro, the man who drove the gray murder car. Mr. Whitman is certain that Shapiro personally knew the four murderers Whom he took to the scene of the crime and hurried away, but Shapiro has denied he recognized them. 1% lng ease An official of the Lincoln Trust Company named Griffin was the He had no knowledge of the murder, and his testimony had to do with certain deposits made by persons named to him. Then Thomas Coupe, a clerk in the Elks’ Club in West Forty- third street, was called. Coupe had no knowledge on the graft subject, but he saw the gray touring car with the murderers In the tonneau, racing away from the Met- ropole, after the murder of Rosenthal. The method of calling witnesses jshowed from the start tthat the Grand Jury was probing the graft charges and the actual murder at the same time. Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty was the third Grand Jury witness, BECKER DEPOSITED $9,000 IN MAY. Before calling Mr. Griffith, who‘is also an officer of the Madison "| Safe Deposit Company, District-Attorey Whitman learned that Lieut.

In this connection it became known to-day that the District-Attorney is investigating the movements, property and cash hoklings of a former member of the Police Department who retired a few years ago under a cloud. This man left New York a short time before Herman Rosen- thal signed his death warrant by swearing to an affidavit relating to his .|dealings with Lieut. Becker, After leaving the Police Department, the former official opened an oftice downtown and devoted himself to criminal investigation.
