Was a Bitter Enemy of "Big

the Slayer, It Is Said.
ONCE WORKED IN DIVES

Davidson Was Hired to Do
tbe Job ?Coroner
Holds "Red Phil."
a former m^mbw of the N'ew Tork
police Department, who waa known aa
t bitter enemy of "Big Jack" Zelig and
knew 'Red Phil" Davidaon. according
to The Tribune's Informant, will be ln
terro*ated by Robert Minton. A?-sistant
District Attorney. in an effort to de
tfrmlne If hf known anythlng about the
kllllng of Zelig-.
This man. concerning whom informa?
tlon wa* Bivn to Mr. Minton laat night.
*.. employed in a Tenderloln dive pre
tlous to his joinlng the force. One
-naa who knew thls ex-policeman
Um he worked in a Tenderloin place.
,ald laat night that lt waa not at all
?tnllkely that he waa acqualnted wlth
th? ?laver of Zellg. who also worked
tn dives. among them "Jack" Slrocco's.
?Perhnps these two men met tn one
of thejw resorts," eaid this man, "and
lt U not at all improbable that the two
became good frlenda. And from what
Tve heard. thla ex-pollceman had an
?cellent reason for hatlng Zellg. And
iy, hatred waa of the sort that often
| ind- ln murder."
The ex-policeman'a animoalty toward
le'.lf was well known among the gang
jo?n friends of the alaln gang leader,
ind bh name was one that was coupled
wlth that of the slayer in the gang
jmu'i gosslp lmmediately after Zelig

, ?A Hired Slayer, 8ay> Wahle.
No one, exceptlng the police, who say
thgy are convlnced ln the bellef, credit
tor a moment the story told by Davld
?oa that he was alone in the crime and
shot Zellg because of a personal grudge.
None holds more tenaciously to the
theory that Davldson was a hired as
sassin than former Magistrate Wahle,
who was counsel to Zelig in hts fight
against the alleged attempt to rallroad
hlm to prlson by two members of lleu?
tenant Becker's "strong arm" squad.
Detectives Steinert and White.
Judge Wahle pointed out soveral
circumstan-es that indleated that
Davidson was but the tool of others.
The flrst was that Davidaon had picked
the flght with Zellg deliberately.
lt is eonsiilered stranjte by all who
knew Davidaon, who ha?i nanrer _how*n
anv degree of bravado before. that ne
should have pone up to Zelig after !>9
ing twice ordered away and agaln de?
mand his *1K from him. and on being
refused shout out:
"You're a - of a sport to r*'fi.se
to glve me money that helongs to me.
when l'm dead broke and your pocke:s
are lined wlth money."
It was thls that so enraged Zelig .is
ha aat playing cards in Slegel's caf-'*.
No. 74'. Second avenue. that he ?trocT
Davldson in the eye, blacking lt and
knocklng hlm down.
Says Davidaon Sought Trouble.
But what Jud?;e Wahle regards *is
the best proof that Davldson lntended
to force a flght wlth Zellg such aa would
lerve as a basls for a caae of Justiflable
homiclde was the vlslt rnade to Sie
a-l'a at 6:30 Saturday night. three hours
after Zellg had beaten hlm. Davidson
walked up to Zellg's table and patron
taiugly aald to the gang leader, "Let's
ahake hands and ba friends. I've noth?
lng against you."
Zellg, wlthout looklng up at David?
aon, sald, "Sure," and extended hia
hand. Davldson extended his left hand,
hla rlght hand belng plunged lnto hla
rlgtit hand coat pocket. Davidaon, It
1* belleved by Judge Wahle. would have
?hot Zellg at that moment had the gang
leader agaln aaaaulted hlm.
Davldson wlU be lndlcted, ln all llkr

That was not long before Rosenthal

Mr. Jeremiah said that Donohue had

Donohue not to w.rry about the no

taJeaOMM in hnnd and qucstioned him
nt length, but llnally decided to excuse
hlm.
The prosecution had but one per
emptory challenge left when court ad
journed last nlght. Thirty are allowed
each Bide by law. The withdrawal of
the two Jurors from the Jury box led
the court to grant flve aildiilonal chal

sidered that the defendant suffered the
most hy a change In the Jury whlch
he had so far found satisfa- tory. John

still had four peremptory challengcs at
the close of court.

It ls expected that the twlfth juror

yesterday that the flrst materlal wlt?

"Bald Jack" Rose, "Brldgle" Weh-r.
Harry Vallon and "Sam" Schepps are
expected to follow Mrs. Rosenthal to

The District Attorney turned hls

at a new angle. It was apparent that
he was trylng to establish a foundation

they would disbelleve the testimony of

; man hardly let one talesman get by

used a peremptory challenge once or
