System of graft explained by Rose
New York, Aug. 6. Bald Jack Rose testified to District Attorney Whitman detailing Becker’s ties to graft collectors. Rose said Becker was among four police officers who took between two and three million dollars yearly from illegal resorts, listing ten names and claiming Becker received a share. He described raids used to extort payments, cash handoffs at Rose’s home, and Becker’s threats to influence grand juries. Rose’s accounts align with Rosenthal gambling house charges, including Becker’s split of proceeds. Becker denies systemic funding and says he is handling his case with counsel John F. McInerney, not a system defense.
