KILLING OF GAMBLER VERY LIKELY TO LEAD J TO OTHER MURDERS J,- ' - V , (Continued From Page One.) Of the murderers of Rosenthal was ad vanced today by District Attorney Whit man, Whitman thinks it possible that thi "murder automobile" was purposely left where the license number would be dis cernible as a "blind"; that the accom plices of the murderers entered It, while the real slayers walked away unnoticed. That the dictagraph has played an Important part in the collection of evi dence against the men alleged to be concerned In the conspiracy to put Rosenthal out of the way was fully es tablished t-day. Deputy Police Commis sioner Dougherty af serts that a "murder Jursa" was collected and paid over to the murderers on the night of the crime. The men who received the money and the amount each received is known to both Whitman and Dougherty. This evidence was gotten through the dicta graph, Dougherty resorting to a ruse to rig Webber's house with the Instrument. When Webber was brought down from his house to have a talk with Dougherty he was treated courteously, the commis sioner explaining "that we merely want you a a witness." Dougherty was quite willing when Webber's attorney suggested that he be released on J 100 ball " The commissioner wanted t give "Webber time to bring his suspected al lies Into the case. Bo on Saturday the commissioner sent again for Webber, and lator two veiled women were brought down to headquarters. It later developed that these women were con- - n acted- wlta " the Webber household. While Webber and the members of his family were away from home the dicta graph was being Installed, and Commis sioner Dougherty declares that It has done Its work thoroughly.
