Where Nan Patterson Was Tried.
After court had been called to or

Goff began the selection of a special
grand jury . While this was being done
Attorneys John F. M< Intyre and John
W Hart, representing Lieutenant

room
In the midst of the grand Jury pro
ceedings. District Attorney Whitman
interrupted to move that the trial of
Becker bo transferred from Judge Mul
queen's part of the general sessions to
Justice Goff s court The motion was
gta nted.
Investigation of the Rosenthal mu:-
der took on its most important phase
today with the convening of an ex
traordinary term of the supreme court
to try Hie men accused of killing the
gambler and to probe the alliance be
tween police and criminals.
Hot After Grafters.
District Attorney Whitman returned
from Vermont, where/he had tested
over Sunday, and Immediately took up
his task of running down th., assassins
and grafters. He received from his
assistant, A DeFord. an S2-page "in
formation'' for tiling before Justice
Goff, whom Governor Dix designated
to preside in th.- supreme court This
information went into the details of
the graft and afforded an index of
what the district attorney expects to ■
prove, namely, that there is an Iron
clad compact between certain police
officials and denizens of the under
world; that Lieutenant Charles A.
Becker was deeply Involved and that
Becker ord. red the assassination of
Human Rosenthal to prevent the gam
bler from exposing the protected vice.
Mr. Whitman's attention was also
turned to the best time to begin John
Doe proceedings, in which Justice Goff
will sit as tit.- < ommittine, magistrate.
He and Justice Goff agree that the
John Doe investigation, which will |
amount actually to a grand July pro- !
reeding held in public, so far as its :
force and jurisdiction go. should be i
handled very carefully at the outset I
and not started upon rashly
Mr. Whitmans idea based upon Mr.
DeFord's recommendations. . that a '
special bureau should be organized in -

And it is the truth, too, that “Old Jim"

to be brought to a halt by a hobble skirt
