BANKROLLS

GRAFTING

BANKERS TO BE CALLED
IN PROBE OF “SYSTEM'’
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. —Bankers of
New York and New Jersey cities will
be called to testify before the grand
jury in the investigation of the police
graft system in connection with the as
sassination of Herman Rosenthal. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman will attempt to
secure from them pt oof that Lieutenant
Becker and high officials made deposits
in their banks under assumed names.
The police department was given a
shock today when it became known
that information in the possession of
the district attorney shows thut gam
bling houses in a certain section of the
city have been paying one police in
spector SSOO each to let them stay open.
Investigators working for the district
attorney have learned that seventy-five
gambling houses and sixty-five other
results paid this to one inspector. The
tribute handed over by the resorts was
S4OO a month each.
This inspector and another one are
said to have more than SIOO,OOO in cash
deposited in banks.
Becker Deposited
Under Various Names.
Overshadowing Rosenthal’s murder.
Interest sticks to the relentless in
vestigation that is showing big sums of
money salted down by Lieutenant
Becker and other police officers. In
addition to $3,000 discovered to have
been deposited by Recker in the West
Side saving bank District Attorney
Whitman has been informed:
That the “J. G. Cullom,” who depos
ited $3,000 in a Newark, N. J., bank last
June was Becker. v -
That the "H. ('. Kenn< 4y.” who put
$3,000 in an Elizabeth, N. J., bank about
the same time, was Becker.
That in at least four Sfanhattan
banks there are deposits of $3,000 put
there by Becker.
That he is going to find in the pe
riod when "Bald Jack" Rose said the
pickings wore good at least $21,000
was put away by Becker, and perhaps
total accumulations of SIOO,OOO.
•'Where Did you Get
It?” To Be Question.
That two police inspectors have sus
piciously fat bank accounts, one who
was in charge of a fruitful field being
credited with depositing $62,000 in one
month ami the savings of the two
reaching more than $200,000.
"Where did you get it?" is going to
be the grilling question.
Mr. Whitman wore a rather pleased
expression before he left for Vermont
to take a short rest. He will return
Sunday night. Things he says, are
coining his way. even though Beeker
sent word from the Tombs that he
would confess nothing. One of the dis
trict attorney’s sleuths is In Rochester.
N. Y., investigating a report that Beck
et. whose wealth appears to have in
t re ised by leaps,and bounds, deposited
the usual maximum sum of $3,000 in
a bank there.

livered his first and last speech in be
half of Representative Hooper Alex

be distinctly surprising to a number of
people who have looked forward to Mr.
