The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1912-10-18

rict Attorney wanted him but that II he did
he would go down in the morning. and
to the best OF my recollection Mr.. Hart
told him to do so.
The State scored another success when
Barter testified that he saw n man in the
hall OF Pollok's apartment when he left
the place with Mr.. Hart. Schepps had
testified that he was reading book in the
hall.
Hart then cross-examined Mr. Barter,
al ocrose seexaminationithat appeared to be
Of no special value to the defendant and
which seemed to be designed to straighten
out Hart's own psoition before the jury.
Hart produced and read the affidavit
he had p obtained ts from tR Ro'e t the one one IN
Rosenthal came from him. not from Becker;
that Rose had heard Rosenthal say he
would break" Becker because Of the raid
and that Rose was Rosenthals gambling
partner. On Saturday Rose told the jury
that he had committed perjury when he
made that affidavit and that Becker and
Hart knew he was committing perjury.
At the opening OF the afternoon session
the first witness was William Haupt of
the Registers Office. who brought with
him the papers showing that a mortgag &c
had been executed on Rosenthal's house
satisfied on June 7. 1912. Mr.. Mcintyre
fought hard to keep that evidence out.
Sam Schepps was recalled to give counsel
for the defence further opportunity to
cross-examine him.
Schepps denied that he had told any
body in Hot Springs that Rosenthal
ought to have been bumped OF long ago.
or that Rosenthal was "a dirty dog" or
that he had said to a man named Hoga-
boom. .The worst thing they did was
to leave the damned number on the car"
Schepps was very careful about his
answers. Once or twice he corrected Mr.
Hart. Mr.. Hart tried to make him say
that a man named Bergholtz had used
certain words. but Schepps quoted Berg
holtz's language correctly. Part Of the
examination was:
