eearchliiK Inst nlitht for a number of
Tenderloin Ramblers, who tliry believe
subscribed to h fund to bribe Herman

Bumbling revelations to District At

of thn witnesses uKalnst Ilecker. was

paper men.
Suavo nml Impurlurnhle as ever, an

tlio shiny headed cx-Knmblrr answered
all the statements of Decker relleclltiR
on lit in. explained Ills motives, luld bare
hlH emotions and Jut-tilled his actions,
all without raisin? Ills deep voice once.
Only :i kIiirIo time did he losei trifle of
his composure, and that waH when Her
jiard 11. Sandler, his attorney. In whom
office the Interview was held, asked Jack
to turn on tlio electric fan to lower the
temperature.
"Turn on the electric switch, Jack,"
aid Sandler.
Hose dropped his eyes and clenched

turned on the fan, nnd resumed his even
toned conversation.
"How will you feel next Wclncsdayr
Hose was nsked early In the Interview.
"I'll be sufterlnK the tortures of the
damned," he said solemnly. "All alone
I'll be thlnklnK the whole thlnp over.

do? 1 feel remorse and regrets over
the n-holc case : a kooiI ileal more re
morse and resrets than ltecker would
teel If he sent nie there."
"ltecker will never confess," ho said
In answer to another question. "The
me person that Becker cares about Is
Mrs. ltecker, and that Is why he can't
confers. He wants to protect her from
a knowledge of his shame."
Ctlvrn Detnlla.
He ..ssertcd truth of nil his testimony,
nd ndded other Incidents which have
never been told.
The search for the gamblers In the last
minute attempts to save Uecker's life
was the result of a conference In the
office of W. Hourko Cochran, chief of
Decker's counsel, at which the partici
pants were Mr. Cockran, Father Curry.
Uecker's priest ; John and Jackson
ltecker, Uecker's brothers : Clark L.
Jordan, an attorney who shares an office
with Harry Apelbaum. 111k Tim Sulli
van's former secretary, atid Van 0'l"ar
rell, a private detective.
They were there to dlsucss the possi
bility of Beting Kut At Levy, Denny
Zwyfox, known as Penny Klyfojc. John
I.augernian, known as Dollar John ; Fat
Moe Ilrown and a man known as Slats,
who was formerly employed In lleansy
Itosenfeld's gambling house, to aid
Jiceker.
This Is the story It Is hoped they will
corroborate: Ills Tim Sullivan, In his
worry over ltosenthal's promised revela
tions, told Jack Hose It would be a
Kood thing If Rosenthal could be In
duced to go to Paris until the whole
thing was forgotten, and Hose, a shrewd
business tran, saw a chanco to make
aome money out of the situation. So
lie went around anion:; the gamblers
to raise a $10,000 fund to give to Rosen
thal to go away.
He raised J5.U0O among the gamblers
jiow sought, and Ilrldglc Webber con
tributed another ll.ouo. On .Monday
night four bourn before the murder Hose

senthnl refused In CO awiiv for less than !
JIS.OOO, which was mora than Hoso
rould get. Then Hose went over to Web
ber's gambling house and consummated
tlio murder plans, paying the gunmen
$1,000 for their work and putting (5,000
111 his pocket.
Itosc Denies Slur).
When this story was put up to Rose
last night lie denied it all.
"Why, Moe Brown and Slats wore
ioklng to burrow $3 ut that time," he
fc Id. "They didn't have any money to
fc'e to any one." He denied the rest of
P j story categorically.
Rose said that District Attorney Whit
.Isiaii was the last man In New York to
Want to see Becker convicted.
"Gov. Whitman doesn't need me to dc
end him," said Rose, "but the cry has
one, up that Whitman was after Becker,
and Hero is something that has never
tieen told, The very man that Whitman
didn't want was Becker.
"Years ago Mr. Whitman's father, a
tiergyiran, the Rev. John Seymour Whit
man, lived uptown somewhere, and
Ilecker boarded, or look his meals, nt a
tiouse next door. They met, and the
clergyman became much Interested in
tho policeman. I'rom day to day they
talked about various matters, nml Whit
man's father became convinced that
Dicker was an 'do.il policeman,

1 think a stcol pigeon Is better than a
collector, for he aids In the enforcement
of the law. Hut would stool pigeon
have met Becker an avemgo of five times
a week, and would our families havo
been exchanging visits?
"It Is easy to write a statement and
send It out, but I hid to submit to three
cross-examination on my story, and
Becker never even bad a public direct
I examination, t wish some legal pro-
; feeding could be brought that would
take mo and ilecker and everybody con
nected with the case and question Ui to
find out whfre Is the fmmeup and where
Is tho truth. I would welcome that more
than anything else hn earth, because It
would allay all this suspicion and doubt."
Bald Jack tald that Becker met Big
Tim Sullivan the Sunday night before
tho murder Just .about a Harry Apel
baum has told It. Hone had been to the
Sam Paul outing; when he returned he
called up Becker and told him that he
had not found any sentiment among tho
gamblers at the outing to back up Rosen
thal's forthcoming revelations. Liter
Jack met Apelbaum In Luchow's res
taurant; Apelbaum said he must see
Hecker ol once. So Hoe, after tele
phoning to Becker, went with Apel
hutim to Becker's house, got Becker, and
drove back to Big Tim's ofllce. nose nnd
Apelbaum waited In the automobile
while Becker nnd Big Tim talked things
over. Hose denied he had said then that
Rosenthal ought to be "croaked." Hut
he did say that he hoped Big Tim
would straighten matters out.
He told again how he had collected
$.".0,000 for Becker In nine months from
gambling houses. At flrt Hose did this
on a 85 per cent, basis, but later he
said. "Becker got so cheap he wanted
to do the collecting himself to save the
25 per cent."
Why Hose Left Bis Tim Oat.
Rose keot Big Tim out of the case
becauso of a friendly feeling for him,
he said, and because there was no occa
sion to bring him In. He repeated that
Rosenthal had met Ilecker two months
before the Elks ball on New Year's
Kve nnd said that afterward Rosenthal
had offered Becker one-quarter Inter
est In his gambling house ror 5,oou.
Becker told Rose of meeting Big Tim
Sullivan, he said, and Big Tim said
that Rosenthal was his friend and any
favor that Becker could do would be re
garded as a personal favor by Big Tim.
Rose said that Tim had promised to
see Waldo the night that Becker met
him "to boost" Becker to Waldo. Becker
assigned one of his detectives to trail
Big Tim that night to see If Big Tim
did call on Waldo. The visit was made
at Waldo's home In the Carlton Apart
ments. This Is Rose's version of the first
time he met Ilecker:
"Becker had raided a gambling bouse
In which I was Interested and the next
morning I went to him outside court. In
itroduced myself and brgnn to talH
shop."
"What do you mean by that?'1 he was
asked.
"I asked him how much It would cost
to turn my men out," said Rose. "Becker
told me he wan't taking money from
every Tom, Dick and Harry, and asked
me If I knew anybody. I knew Hilly
Kunston at Police Headquarters, al
though I never had any dealings with
him. He had met me years befoie when
I was running a batehall team. So
Becker asked Funston If he knew me;
Funston said yes and Becker told me
he would turn my men out for $200.
I gave It to him In a saloon opposite
court."
Rose said he had suggested to Becker
that Rosenthal would stop his squealing
for money.
"tJlve that guy any of my money,"
exclaimed Becker In high scorn, "nnd
then have others follows his example !
The only way with him Is to croak
him and let every one know we croaked
him and there'll be no more squealing
on me."

HAYES WILL QUIT,
MISS DAVIS SAYS
Feiirs Forced Announcement
to Prison Commissioners
Will Spoil (lie Plan.
TELLS ISLAND'S NEEDS
Commissioner of Corrections Kalh
orlno II. Davis told the State Comtnl-
slon of Prisons yesterday that Waiden
Patrick Hayes Is going to quit the peni
tentiary' on Blackw ell's Island.
No statement that Miss Davl could ,
have made would havo surprised the
Commissioners more. When they left (
the Island rather hurriedly last Thurs-
I itn- In rHtmn to a mvsterlous tele- ,
phone message from Albany there was I
ringing above everything rlso In their j
ears tho confident declaration of the
warden that he was only a little more
than 70 years old and that he expected I
to be warden of the penitentiary for at
least twenty years more. I
The Commissioner did not want to ;
make tho statement. It was badgered j
out of her, she admitted, and she wasn't
at all su'o but that In forcing her to
make It the Commission had spilled a j
precious nuss of beans. It was gathered j
from what Miss D.wls said that civil
service nnd fighting Irish blood aro not
things to bo monkeyed with. It was.
niado very plain to tlio Commission that I
If Patrick Hayes got his dander up and
once got thoroughly Into his mind the (
Idea that somebody was trying to force
him out he would kick up a row that I
would make a Kilkenny cat Jealous for1
life.
Commission Doesn't Like Hnyes.
Itlirht nt thn start of tho afternoon
session of the hearing, which was held t
at tho penitentiary In a room opposite j
tho warden's office, it was evident that
tho Commission doeen't think much of
Warden Hayes. That might have been
gathered from the Commission's retort
to Gov. Whitman on the work of War
din Thomas Mott Osborm- at Sing Sing
In which words of praise only were used
In describing Mr. Osborne's plans for
making Sing Sing the mot jiopuUr
prison In the country. Warden Haye,
lelng now ovi r "n and having been con-
. nected with penal Institutions, with the
' exception of the time spent In fighting
i in the civil war, since he was 17 years
old. Is not given to the molt sociological
mysteries of his craft. So far as Is
I Vnnii'ii li n.v..r tMiitiioi.il a orisoner
,..Mv 1.nt ,m il,- ntlur hand he never
had any Idea that BlaekwellV Island
was a summer resort, lie totd the'
Commission so last weik, i
Mls Davis said that Warden Hayes
had applied for a three months leave of
absence, that It had been granted to him
and that he would leave the Island next '
Monday, "the understanding being that
he Is to retire at the end ot the period." ,
Commissioners Wade, Hurd and Dledllng
warted to know Immediately what as
'tir.iuces there were that Wardin Hayes
would not be so Improved In health and
spirits then tti.it he would forget all
about his agreeni' tit to retire. The
Commissioner admitted that was a poa-'
sibtiity.
Later in tin- day Miss Davis said'
very frankly that she thought the Coin-1
mission had been vey unwise In ques-,
tloiilng her management or Blackw ell's
1-l.irnl. Outside of the ever looming
possibility of stlnlnc up Warden Hayts
was the almost certain elTict upon the
prisoners. After the last Investigation
at the Island there were riots.
Hipci't Veil Trimble. '
Miss D.iMs said she believed there
I would In trouble again now. Two pns-
! oners called as witnesses yesterday
, would return to the eel block with great
tales of how the public was behind the
onvlct and against the waiden and
ills keepers. Tile who!, situation, she
thought, would be complicated Just .it
tin time when she was seeing her way
clear to nii rnl it.
