WahIe Defends "the Boys"

Mr. Wahle started his summing up
when court opened at 1890 a. m. and
spoke for three hours. He severely at
tackled the witnesses for the prosecution
particularly Jack Rose and William
Shapiro, the chauffeur, who gave the
principal evidence against the gunner.
1t is for us at this time to decide the
result of crime, the conflict OF which
has been fought in and out Of this court
room through this period of hysteria OF
agitation and fought here at last under
the procedure Of this courtroom.
These defendants are not good boys;
they have been bad boys, but all they
ask IS Justice. The four defendants are
not as you can see by their appearances,
the same class as the men who testified
against them. These four came into court
supposedly innocent OF the crime charged
against them, and that presumption must
be torn from them by the people
Let's stop for moment, gentlemen,
and consider these four men. Gunner,
they have been called-wild, lawless. dan
gerous gunner. But all that / can find
of them is that one was shot In the back
and the other in the leg in Chinatown,
which was the only shooting that they
were ever in. All that these men have TO
do with being wild, fearless dangerous
gunner was when they were shot when
running away from the scene of a shoot
ing The three OF them were arrested
and on the next day two things happened
-Zelig was shot In the back In front OF
this building and the gray car of Shapiro
was In the immediate vicinity.
Isn't il a strange thing Roses former
partner, jacobson, was shot and killed in
the street? Herman Rosenthal was shot
and killed In the street. What Is II that
has caused the death of those friends of
Rose-his partner In business and Her
man Rosenthal? What Is this mysterious
atmosphere that pervades the presence OF
Jack" Rose?
Mr.. Wahle reviewed all the intercourse
Rose had with the gunner up to the
time of the shooting, and said that the
underlying motive that prompted the
whole affair on Roses part was his dead
ly fear OF Zelig and the gang leaders
friends. He contended that there had
been no plot to kill Rosenthal on the part
Of Rose. WALTON and Weber until Just prior
tn July l6. and then the -four gunner were
lured 10 BRIDGE" Weber's place in order
TO fasten the crime on them and thereby
rid Rose OF Zelig's men, whom he con-
sidered his mortal enemy. He said that
u was incredible TO believe that Rose
would have gone to these boys, whom he
did not know to ask them to Kill man
whom they did not know.
