Night on Plea of Counsel for
the Accused.

New York, Oct s.-The trial Of Police

having instigated the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal. was adjourned by Justict

o'clock tomorrow. after the eleventh

for the defendant who said both he and
Becker were tired out.
At the time of adjournment Ill tales
men had been examined in order to get
the eleven Jurors now in the jury box

emptory challenges and the district at
torney had used eighteen. The Jurors
selected are: No. l. Harold B. Skinner

Paul Kammerer: No. II, John E. Dillon.
Every man selected was the personal
choice of Becker. He watched their ac-
tons while under fire of the examiners
questions with the eye Of q hawk and
listened intently to their answers. Many
who answered the questions satisfactorily
were rejected solely because Becker did
not want them.
Becker Well P1easeA.
When asked at the close Of the day
what he thought Of the Jurors selected
Becker said: 1T is really more than !

from reading the newspapers. They ap-

of the trial. but the lines in his face

New York, Oct. S.-Out OF the back
ground Of mysteries that shadow the
murder OF Big Jack" Zelig. as 1t shad-
ows the killing of Herman Rosenthal.
appeared suddenly to-day two attor-
neys to defend Red Phir' Davidson.
Zelig's slayer.
They came after Davidson himself
had pleaded his poverty and his friend
illness and had asked the court to give
him counsel They were not appointed
by the court.
The lawyers are Alexander Karlin
and NJ. A. Busch. They are men little
known. Karlin defended a negro wom-
an in the Reynolds white slave investi-
cation.
He made two interesting statements
to-day. The first was, I'VE have been
retained by outside parties: Just whom.
I am not at liberty to state
The other was to the effect that Red
Phil Davidson's defense would en-
brace q firm denial that any one insti-
gated-a strong contradiction Of the dra-
matte story of Pauline Fuchs, who de-
clared that five sinister characters Of the
underworld had inspired Red Phir' to
kill Zelig. :.
Karlin would not outline his intended
case definitely. but II was intimated that
there might be grounds for the hope of
convincing a jury that Davidson killed
Zelig during a fit of impulsive insanity
due to him having been blackjacked and
robbed.
Woman Tells Story.
Pauline Fuchs, now under release in
s. 500 bail for robbing the apartment Of a
family In Brooklyn, where she had OBJ
tained employment, will probably tell her
story Of the Davidson case tomorrow to
Charles G. F. Wahle, who Was counsel
for Zelig and for the four gunner now
in prison. II her story of the plot to
kill Zelig Is corroborated she is likely
TO be a witness of powerful influence. pot
only against Davidson, who Is said to
have lived on her earnings. but against
the men higher up in the plot.
Along Second Avenue to-day many were
found ready to confirm the truth Of the
womans statement. Dut none dared give
his name as sponsor for the matter.
While the district attorneys Office show
ed keen interest in delving to the pits Of
motive behind the Zelig murder, Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty declared
he thought the case against Davidson
complete as II stood.
He meant that Jack Zelig had been
killed by a personal enemy-that was all

In the Chiefs hand was a large piece
Of bone. 1t was the broken end OF the
h!p bon. Of an OK. Without de!gn!ng a
reply the Chief walked over to his
locker. showing the table to one side
and took out four new bats. These bats.
by the way, look more like logs of wood
than regulation sticks. lie uses the
largest bats In tho league.
Placing the piece OF bone on the end
Of q wood-bench. the Chief took the
bats. one at a time and began labor
iously rubbing them up and down over
the piece OF bone. This required con-
siderable muscular effort but the India n
kept at II. He would turn the bat In his
hand as he pushed It to and fro across
the bone.
+whats the idea?" I asked with
considerable curiosity.
Polishing them" he replied. "the best
way to polish wood In the world. My
forefathers did It that way"
What good does II do?' asked Josh
