2 THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, FRIDAY JULY. 19, 1912 WILSON'S CAMPAIGN DISPUTES OF POLICE CAPTAINS HALT TRIAL Kenny Adjourns Court When Mc-Coach fnsists on Questioning Witnesses RAINS AT SHORE SQUELCH THE HEAT Atlantic City Officials Decide to Make Crossings Safe to Pedestrians Because Captain McCoach, a member of the trial board, insisted on asking too many questions. Captain Kenny, "judge advocate," of the Police Court of Inquiry', temporarily ended yesterday's session- until it was determined whether Captain McCoach had exceeded his authority or not. It was reported that the two captains agreed to allow Director Porter, of the Department ol Public Safety, to settle the question, but he was busy with other matters and die not see them. The two captains evidently settled the dispute themselves, for when court reconvened they seemed to have forgotten their differences.

The trouble developed during the hearing of House Sergeants McAuliffe, Montgomery and McCarrick of the Fourth and Delancey street station, who were asked to explain re garding the disappearance of a $10 not belonging to Charles Kelly, who had been arrested on a technical charge oi disorderly conduct. While the hearing was in progress Captain McCoach began asking the witnesses questions. Captain Kenny, as president ot the trial board, oDjectec to several ot the questions ana an nounced that he would pass on then relevancy before the witnesses would permitted to answer them. Captain McCoach contended that all the questions proper and legal and that he had a right to cross-examine the witnesses. Captain Kenny ruled differently and exercised his authority by oraering a recess until he ascertained whether was correct or not.

It was testified that when the money was delivered to Kelly it was noticed that the original figures on the tag had been--altered so as to make the amount $10 less than the original sum. Yesterday's Ioeal Weather Report from U. S. Weather Borean teMfpi whs a Time. 5 Weather.

She had in her possession two widely known works of fiction, which were taken, it is alleged, from a counter at the store. Following her arrest by Detectives James Coogan and Miss Tompkins, the accused woman pleaded for freedom, saying that her family would be disgraced if her identity became known. The detectives are -convinced that the woman gave an assumed name, as she refused to tell where she lived. She admitted, according to the detectives, to having stolen books on previous occasions and to having sold them to prominent residents of the Main line; after reading them.

She was remanded by Magistrate Coward for another hearing at the Central Police Court nest Tuesday. BOY FALLS TO DEATH WITH A PARACHUTE QUINOY, July 18.

I had proceeded so far that he was to appeal-before the grand jury, and give details and the names of other gamblers to substantiate his charge.

On the night preceding the day tixed, he was assassinated, evidently by men who feared his testimony, or their agents, on the principle that dead men tell no tales. "It Is Cleiir Getaway" One of the eeii-sitional developments of the dav was a statement from Aaron Levy, counsel for Libby and Shapiro, the two chauffeurs who are being held on charges of homicide in connection with the case. Levy- said that Shapiro, who drove the "death car' on the night, of the murder, had told him that he did not start the engine in his car as soon as the murderers had finished their shooting and leaped back into the tonneau. "He told me that he fussed over his motor and pretended he could not get it working," said Levy. "One of the murderers then said to him: 'Don't stall that engine! Get it started, and be Quick abo-nt "Shapiro still hesitated, and one of his fares then said: Go on, you fool'.

Get started! Don't you know that the cops are fixed and no one will bother us? It is a clean getaway!" Levy said in conclusion that Shapiro's delay might well have afforded an opportunity to the police to make neces sary arrests. Suspend One Policeman Other developments of the day were that Commissioner Waldo was conducting a personal investigation of the Rosenthal affair and that District Attorney Whitman, had called Burns detectives to his aid. Patrolman William J. Eile, of the East Sixty-seventh street police station, who, while off duty, was in the dining room of the Metropole at the time the Rosenthal murder was committed, was suspended today by Commissioner Waldo, pending investigation and trial. Itose Appears Jack Rose appeared at police headquarters at 0 o'clock this morning and was subjected to a long examination by Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and Inspector Highes.

In the course of the story he told Rose admitted that he had hired the car in which the assassins rode. He admitted, too, that he had ridden in the car for some time before it reached the Metropole. He denied, however, that he was in the car at the time it was run up near the hotel, declaring that he had stopped off at Jack's restaurant, two blocks away. Rose was placed under arrest on a charge of complicity in homicide after the police were through questioning him. He was then taken in Commissioner Dougherty's car down to the office of District Attorney Whitman.

With the Commissioner aoid the prisoner were Inspector Hughes and Detective Wilbur. Statement Confusing "Did Rose come voluntarily?" Commissioner Dougherty was asked. "Well, he got here about i) o'clock," said the Commissioner. told Bridgey Webber that I wanted to see him. The Commissioner then went on: "Rose was formerly a partner of Rosenthal, but they have not been on good terms of late.

think the last partnership they had was. in the place West Forty-fifth street. "Rose has told me of his whereabouts on Monday night. He acknowledged being in the car, but gay? that he was not in it at ths time of the shooting. His statement as to his whereabouts is somewhat confusing.

He didrft appear to know where he was at times." 'Yes, he was very vague." Inspector Hughes interrupted at this point. Says He "Left Cap "Rose," continued the Commissioner, "said that he got out of the car and went a certain distance. That is just what Shapiro, the driver of the car, said. Shapiro did not know where it was and was hazy about it. Rose told me he was at least two blocks awav at the time of the shooting.

He said that he got out near Jack's restaurant. That is near Forty-third street." "Did be say he was there at the time Por Infants and CMldren. Ilia Kind You Hays Always Bought OLD FATHER KNICK AND of the shooting?" the Commissioner was Those Who Were With Him in Car "He makes statements," returned the Commissioner, "when he knows you have certain information. He told me that he had got some one in Tom; Sharkey's to order the car by telephone from its stand near the Cafe Boulevard in Second avenue." "Did he tell you who rode in the car with him?" At this the Commissioner smiled and evaded an answer. "Did Rose implicate Becker" the Commissioner was then asked.

Mr- Dougherty hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "No." "Has he cleared Becker?" "Well," said, the Commissioner, "the time was too short to get everything from him. I expect to have arthjer talk with him." Will Probe Lease "We'll prove our case all said Commissioner Dougherty. "These three prisoners did not admit anything about their own guilt we did not already know. It won't be necessary for us to see them any more. We know the names cf the other men in the car and we'll arrest every one of them, but I do not care to say whether that will include anybody not in the car that "One of those arrested has been identified as a man who did some of the snooting, one hired the car for the purpose; and the other drove the car knowing that the murder had been committed (even if he diu not know that it was to be committed) and in that-way became an accessory after the fact.

His idea of being too frightened to tell the police afterward won't go with a jury. One of them has already put up the defense that no would-be murderers would take the chauffeur into their confidence. "We don't take any stock in Shapiro's storv that the bad men held a eun to his head and made him an unwilling tool." Jack Rose was arraigned before Coroner Feinberg this afternoon on a charge of complicity in the murder of Rosenthal and was remanded to the Tombs without bail until next Monday. Police Before Mayor While the grilling of Rose was in progress, Police Commissioner Waldo, Lieutenant Becker, Policemen Charles Foy and Charles. Steinhardt were closeted with Mayor Gaynor in the latter's private office in the City Hall.

Thev had been summoned by the Mayor. Policeman James White, who also was called, failed to arrive until the conference was on and was not admitted. Foy, Steinhardt and White were the policemen named by Rosenthal as having been called over by Becker, who, in a moment of champagne friendship, introduced the gambler as his friend. Becker denies this version of the dinner. Horses Borrowed by Night Special to The iDquirer.
