It is known to crooks and gamblers and hangers-on in thieves’ resorts all over town, and has gained circulation through-thenwtehe are by no means friendly to Lieut. Becker, The names of gamblers who figure prominently in the tale are freely mentioned. If the District-Attorney does not trail the recital to its source and question men who should be able to confirm it, such a trail will certainly be followed by Becker's counsel, for the new outline of the events leading up to the tragedy, should, if confirmed, strengthen the accused policeman’s defense. The story goes that when Rosenthal, under pressure of what he honestly considered police oppresslon—for he was morally so gaited that he was utterly unable to see why conducting a gambling house was not a legitimate business—began to voice his complaints until they reached the public ear, gamb Hei s with big interests involved took steps Knowing R¢ dsenth al, these gamblers realized that he to silence him. ie Curr a rating committee! would go the limit if he started to tell what he knew about gambling in of the Hoar, which is] ,, , going to into police graft and New York.
