All rights reserved. Any infringe ment will be vigorously prosecuted.) By JACK ROSE. The gambler who declares that Lieu tenant Becker forced him into the plot to slay Herman Rosenthal. NEW YORK, August 13.—1 have been asked to write for The Atlanta Georgian on "Gambling" and life In the so-called "underworld.” It Is something to think over. 1 am a man 37 years of age. with a devoted wife, two handsome boys and of par entage that I can boast of. My early life was In an environment that should have Influenced me to a useful life. At one time I had friends who would have helped me to acquire a station in life that was worth while. All are now a memory of the past. As I sit in my cell I look back with a heart filled with sorrow and regret, and all caused by one thing, “The curse of gambling." 1 gambled away everything, first my own money, then the money I could borrow from my friends; then my credit , then my word of honor. When nothing remained wherewith to gamble 1 let myself become a tool in the plot ting of a man’s life. It resulted in my self and three of my dearest friends facing the charge of being accessories to the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Wants to Start Over Again. 1 don’t know how it is all going to end. but if ever 1 again set my feet on the pavements as a free man I want to take my wife and boys to some place where in some way I can start life over again. With gambling 1 am through. if some young man starting on the road I have traveled will read this and turn back I will feel that some of my suffer ing Ims been worth while As a young man I drifted into the state of Connecticut. In the city of Hartford 1 launched the Charter Oak A. C. It was a boxing club, at which we gave monthly exhibitions. I added to this another club in Bridgeport, and on> in Waterbury I also acquired a baseball franchise tn the t'onneeticut State league. All these ventures brought mo in close , ontact with sporting men. Soon I took to gambling. Known as a Good Fellow.

TUESDAY. AUGUST 13, 1912. THE SYSTEM IN NEW YORK the "good fellow” end of it, which meant tv/ien 1 won I divided my win nings or spent them; another part of my reputation was that I would bet the limit against the "bank.” If I had r< il ly bet what I ought to. in keeping wi;h my means, 1 would still have been playing in the friendly "penny ante” poker game up in Connecticut. On my return to Connecticut after my trips to New York the poker game had lost its attraction for me. I began making excuses to my asso ciates to get down to New York again. The gambling fever was oh me. and life in Connecticut was getting slowei all the time. I was making money in Connecticut, besides enjoying the confidence and re spect of many of its most prominent citizens. Loses All and Starts To Borrow. On any one of my trips to New York I lost mon than my three boxing clubs could earn for m<- in several nights. Soon 1 began borrowing right and left from my friends in Connecticut hoping against hope that some one night 1 would "bust" the "faro bank” and pay everybody. That never e ime. Soon my asso ciates began questioning the cause of my frequent trips to New York, my constantly increasing demands for money, and my failure to pay my d< bis after a division of profits from' the boxing clubs. AU this required explanations, as my associates were all men of standing and high honor. 1 remember one day, w hen I owed my partners personally considerablt money and when the day after an un usually successful show at one of out clubs we were settling up. 1 asked them it they would please favor me by let ting me have my share in full and per mit my indebtedness to them to stand until the next show. 1 gave as an excuse tiiat a matter of great importance down in New York required my immediate attention, I needed, I said, just about tin amount of my share to straighten it out. They readily agreed, and one ~f mv partners, a prominent hotel man. said: "Why, Jack, if when you get down to New York you tin.! that you need more, don t hesitate to draw on me." I got my share, about sl. .i'a, rushed and got the 5 o’clock ttain out of Bridgeport. Seven o'clock that night found me oc cupying a front seat at t".e "faro bank." Twelve o'clock that night 1 walked out of there penniless, with the colored attendant helping me on with my over coat, mumbling away a' me about | Have a cigar'.'" and all the other things they ke< p saying to a loser. I was all in a daze. ,i. s my affairs were eomittg to a crisis I could not go on much longer; my good friends in Connecticut would soon begin to sus pect the truth Begins Hunt For Money, 1 walked out into the street and im mediately began thinking where 1 could get more money to play the "bank" with I would have sold my soul for mon ey to continue playing. I thought of m> friend who that very day had told me not to hesitate to draw on. him if I needed money, but that wouldn’t be good until tomorrow. So I went into the hotel, got on the long distance telephone and got him out of bed, told him something terrible had happened and couldn’t he suggest some way that he could get SSOO to me at once. He said, "Gos over to so-and-so.” naming a prominent hotel keeper, "and ask him to get me on the phone." This 1 did. The result of the talk was that the hotel Ift'cper handed me five SIOO bills, and I was back at the “faro bank" and "broke" again before 3 a. nt. I got up from the table and again had t<> pass through the torture of lis tening to all the trained attendant had to say to me about “how they will run against a man when he has a streak of had luck.” Couldn’t Bear to Face Friends. I walked out on the street, like a t.runken man. I realized then that to go back to Connecticut was out of the <|ttestion. I couldn’t boar to face mv fiiends and creditors there. My in <i ‘btednoss then In Connecticut repre sented several thousand dollars, all lost in gambling, as well as the large sums 1 had made in my many sporting ven tures. I sat down in the hotel and wrote several letters to m\ partners and others in Connecticut, making a clean breast of everything. That ended my career in Connecticut, a golden oppor tunity thrown away "to be a man among men.” and all through my love for “gambling.” 1 remained in New York and gave myself to a life of "gambling.” Dur ing the racing season I played the races. At other times I frequented "gambling houses.” All I was accumu lating was a reputation that “gam bling had taken such a hold on me that mine was a "hopeless ease," and I L’ould soon see that their attitude to ward me had changed. Becomes Gamblers’ Associate. Then I became the associate of gam- Id. rs exclusively, and made my head quarters downtown, where gambling went on in a smaller way. But just as soon as I accumulated a sufficient sum to entitle me to gamble in the more pretentious houses uptown, where the ■hanccs of winning a large sum was the bait, 1 made for them. At times 1 made large winnings, an ’ with the exception of paying a few Dressing things, always kept the bai tnee intact, ami would make my ap pearance promptly at opening time and play. Almost invariably I finished oroke. When these periods of. ns we term hem, "bad luck.” come along. 1 would >e overcome with a feeling of iemorse tnd regret and begin to plan and iigur. :o break away from “gambling" and ny gambling associates. It was about this' tint, that two life ong f . Sends of mine who were in the hi.itr: al business showed a disposi :i >n to help me if 1 would quit gam bling. I promised I would, and they we e indness itself. 1 began to acquire a tnowb-dgi of the theatrical busines.- tnd looked forward to an oi>portunity :o get in business for myself. He Is Idle: Drifts Back. About this time an unfortunate thing mppen-’d. Mx two fri.-nds dissolved ■artnership. and the one 1 remained >'ith forth" t’.me being couldn't assis’ n< to realize my ambition. I helped tim along in his business part of each lav. Affairs went in such u state that with too much idle time T drifted back to my old ways and associates. I was soon at it again hammer and tongs '■gambling" hard as ever. I had then joined the Hesper club and spent most of my time there. My friend in the theatrical business began to meet with great success, and I was looking forward to the chance that had been promised me. All this time my friend helped me in every conceivable 'way. excepting th. way 1 hoped he would. He supplied me with all the money [ wanted to keen at “gambling." On many occasions he paid my gambling debts, and when my 'un of hard luck was unusually long and I felt ashamed to go to him, I re sorted to methods that caused him con siderable embarrassment, such as bor rowing from his partners or making promises when negotiating a loan that my friend would pay for me. He spoke of my methods on many occasions, and eventually they led to an open quarrel. Wa s Rosenthal’s Chum. Then I drifted back down tpwn and became indifferent to everything and anything but "gambling." Most of my time Was spent in the company of Her man Resentl. Right hero I want fp say. without violating a promise made to District Attorney Whitman, that for years Her man and I were the best of chums. We often had our differences, but never of a serious nature. They were the quarrels that come to men who have given up their lives to the "hell of hells’’—gam bling. When things went wrong we blamed each other. Each thought the other should have done the other thing—“bet on the other horse, or to have played the opposite system at the bank”—but soon we would patch it up and then everything was all right again. We continued on trying to get rich over night. Dispute Over Winnings. I am just thinking of a strange freak •of fate. Herman and I had been or. the outs for quite a while over a mis understanding we had as to what should have been the proper division of some money I had won playing "faro bank." Gamblers have certain laws of their I own. and our dispute involved the ; question of a gambler's point of law. ( I had at Herman's suggestion made a loan of S2OO from a friend. We went jup town to gamble. On our way I said i to lb rman, "Whatever I win ha|f is j yours." I started playing and soon won SI,OOO. cashed in arrd quit, handing Her : man SSOO as his part of the winnings, l as per agreement. We left the place and returned down town. We sat around the Hesper club a while, when some one else in the club said they were going up town to play the "bank." He Beats "Bank” Again. I said I would go. too. On my’ way out I stopped to ask Hetman if he would come along. He .-aid he had enough for that night. I went alone, played again, and won SSOO. The fol lowing day I met Horman, who had al ready hoard the result of my second play. He greeted me with "I can just use that $250. Jack." "I said. "What $250 .”' "Why, my part of that SSOO you won." "Why," I said, "you are joking." "No," he said. “The' last thing 1 said as you left the club was '1 am in.' ' which, if I had heard him say, or if it I had been said in the presence of a third I party, entitled him to his share. Hut 1 had not Heard him. nor could I he produce any one who heard him say’ it. So 1 refused him his half. It result ed in a quarrel and we were not on speaking terms until one night some time after lie met me on Fourteenth street, in front of Tom Sharkey’s case. He asked me in to have a drink and we patched it up. from this same case; about four years later, started the gray automo bile which ended its ride in the murder of Horman Rosenthal, and all through gambling.

WIS., Aug. 13.—Many reforms, designed in the main to facili tate court procedure, are advocated in the reports of the various committees of the American Bar association, now in annual convention in this city. The question of compensation for in dustrial accidents is dealt with by the committee appointed in 1910 to co-op erate with the National Civic federa tion. The committee finds much yet to be desired and recommends the en actment of uniform laws by all the states and by the United States, based on the following principles: It should be compulsory and ex clusive of other remedies for in juries sustained in course of indus trial employment. It should apply to all industrial operations or at least to all indus trial organizations above a certain limit of size. Regardless of Fault. It should apply to all accidents occurring in the course of indus trial operations, regardless of the fault of any one, self-inflicted in juries not being counted as acci dents. The compensation should be ad judicated by a prompt, simple and inexpensive procedure. The compensation should be paid in regular installments, continuing during the disability, or in case of death during dependent period of beneficiaries. The compensation should be properly proportioned to the wages received before injury. The compensation should be paid with a near absolute certainty as possible, in the most convenient manner, and there should be ade quate security for deferred pay ments. The Committee on patent, trade mark and copyright law severely’ con demned the proposal of President Taft that the question of providing a single court of last resort in patent cases be solved by adding the proposed duties and powers of such a court to the func tions of the commerce court. It is pointed out that judges who at some time or other specialized in patent law, and yet possess a broad understanding of general law, are needed. To this end it is proposed that the court be formed of five Federal judges, the pre siding judge to be appointed by the president and to hold his term for life, and the others to be designated by the chief justice of the supreme court, each to serve six years. A bill introduced in the present session of congress by’ the Hon. 'William A. Sulzer, of New York, providing for such a court, is indorsed. HE MAKES CANARIES OUT OF SPARROWS; IS FINED CINCINNATI, OHIO, Aug. 13.—With out doubt Theodore Benny, aged 60, no home, has the strangest way of making a living ever heard of in police court.

He was fined SSO.
