ROSE SAYS BECKER
ORDERED MURDER
lmpassive Gambler Swears
Lieutenant GIoated Over Body
PROTECTION WAS PROMISED
Regretted He Couldn't Cut His Tongue
Out and Display It as Warning
to Others-Fear of Exposure Mo-
tive-Webber Head of Slayers.

New York-Lieut. Charles Becker,
on trial before Justice Golf in the
especially convened extraordinary
term of the Supreme Court for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, listen
ed for more than three hours to an
arragnment OF himself such as per
hapS no other man on trial for MUIR
der or any other crime ever before
was compelled to hear. Jacob Rosen-
zweig. or Jack Rose, as he has callea
himself for twenty years, and Billiard
Ball Jack" as he is called behind his
back, told damning story of Becker's 5
demand for the death of Rosenthal,
which eliminated when the gambler,
his voice skillfully conveying hatred
and venom, coupled with the cold
blooded satisfaction which must have
clared
Becker said: 1T was pleasant for
me to look and to see that squealing
There, and if it was not for the
presence of Distict Attorney Whitman

his tongue out and hung it somewheres
as warning to future squealers.
Because of the light in which it
portrayed the accused Lieutenant,
leaning gloatingly over the body of
the dead Rosenthal in the back room
of the West Forty-seventh Street Pc.
lice Station, the declaration was a
smashing blow to the battlements OF
the defense. But as part of the long
tale which Rose told quietly, unemo-
tionally, and convincingly from the
witness chair, the quotation was like
the shot of single big gun.
1t struck single crushing blow be-
meath which Becker staggered, but it
was the myriad of lighter assaults,
dotting Roses testimony like commas,
which reduced the swathy, virile ex-
leader of the Strong Arm Squad to a
state bordering on physical collapse;

mendous will and mental powers of
the man were unaffected
