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.
