It Is known that among other thir.gi
Mr. Whitman questioned the tw<

talned by Dlftrlct Attorney Whltmai
ot any one else on th?.* Rnacnthal ease

"I .can't say anything about thai
now," replied Mr. B'irna. "It v:o\i\f.
seem very much out of place? for rne te
? speak about it at present."
It was said at Burns'? office yester?
day that Burns was out of town an?
was not likely to be back until to-day
He evidently returned unexpectedly
I ?li-tri.t Attorney Whitman left his of
Bee early yesterday afternoon and hn?l
not appeared at his home late last
night. It was rumore.1 that the Dis?
trict Attorney and Burns wer? together
during the evening. It was said that
some imi>ortant development? in Um
Rosenthal can?- might be expected at
the District Attorney's office to-day.
Zelig's Lawyer Indignant.
Charlea G. P W?hle, Zelig's attorney.
made Indignant protest yesterday
against any intimation that his client
might have beer mixed up with tho
shooting of Rosenthal, or with the plot
in connection with the affair in any
way.
"As soon ?? he got out of the hospi?
tal," he said, "Zeil? left town, aa he
promised to do, to await the calling of
his delayed hearing. He waa ready
before, but the sickness ?of one of the
detective?! tor the prosecution delayed
tin trU!. Whenever Mr. Whitman
want* to ae.* Mr. Zellg he will appear
promptly, whether In regard to his own
cane, the present police trouble or any
other matter that Mr. Whitman may
think lie would like to r-ee hjm about.
I would aay, however it la prepos?
terous to think that he ?an throw any
light on the present matter. I won't
say how far away from New York he
in, but he ?an g?jt back promptly."
friends e?f Lieutenant Becker, admit?
ting yesterday that h" had a more or
less intimate friendship for "Jack"'
Rose, explained this acquaintance un
tin ground that h? found It uaeful to

"Rose has been in the habit," one of

Iniahlng the lieutenant with Informa?
tion that baa more than oner prove?
?if Incalculable value In directing his
movements against the gamblers. The
friendship was for this purpose, ?md

of work has got to have all sorts of
friends. Hose was one f these friei
a relationship questionable under b<
conditions, hut under the renditions
which Becker know him not only i
