criminal legal Jurisprudent e H> said
that an effort will be made to have

In the midst of the grand Jury pro
ceeding* District Xttorney Whitman
interrupted to move that the trial of
Becker be transferred from Judge Mnl
uueen's part of the general sessions to
Justlci Goff's court. The motion was
granted.
Investigation of th- Ilosentli.il mill -
> 1 ’ took on ti m-.-t iiiortant phase
today with :< eon aing of an ex

to try the men a . ~s I of killing the
Rlttnb rl and to probe tin' a 'iam-o b,
1 w een police and < ' tnilnal-
I lot Arter Gratters.
I'.st t i ■ X t torniy Whitman r. : u rued
from Vermont, where he had rested
over Sunday, and immediately took up
his task of running down the assassins
and grafters. He received from his
assistant, A DeFord. an 82-page "in
formation' for filing before Justice
Goff, whom Governor Dix designated
Jo preside In the supreme court This
Informal on went into the details of
the graft and afforded an index of
what the district attorney expect.* to
prove nameiv that there Is an iron
clad compact between certain police
officials and denizen.* of the under
world: that Lieutenant Charles A
Becker was ii eply involve.l, and that
Becker ordered the assassination of
Horman 1 to-■ nt ha! to prevent the gam
bler from exposing the protected vice.
M'. Whitman's attention was also
turned to the be.-t time to begin John
Doc proceedings, in which Justice Goff
will sit as the committing magistrate.
He and Justice Goff agree that the
John Doe investigation, which will
amount actually to a grand lory pro
ceeding held in public. *,> far it*
force and jurisdiction go, should bo
handled vary carefully at the outset
and not started upon rashly.
Mr Whitman's Idea, based upon Vlr,
DeFord’s . ecommendatlon- is that a
special bureau should be organized in
the district attorney's office to take
c'nargt of tin John Doc proceedings
mass all the available evidence, sub
pena witnesses and work In close tom.h
