NEW YORK, Nov. .1S.-Argument of
counsel in the trial of the four gunner
charged with the murder last July of
Herman Rosenthal the gambler, were
expected to occupy mostvof today.
At the opening of the court session
Charles c. L. Wahle. counsel for the
defense, addressed the jury and the aft
ernoon was allotted to Frank Moss,
summing up for the state.
Justice Gof had made known his in
tention of instructing the jury on Tues

he might find time today to deliver his
charge after Mr.. Moss has concluded.
If the latter course is followed the ver-
dict may be rendered tonight.
All four defendants have expressed
confidence in acquittal, and it is said
that they have prepared for a spread at
which they hope to entertain their
friends in celebration of a victory. The
flat of Lefty Louie" has been selected
for the gathering.
Mr.. Wahle began his plea for the
lives Of his four clients with the asser-
tion that Jack Rose was the guiding
hand that put the shots in Herman
Rosenthal. Rose he characterized, =,
criminal for twenty years and never
caught"
You might easily discern beneath

degradation and criminality of his char
acter. His was the brain that directed
the plot which Weber, WALTON and

Reviewing the evidence, Mr.. Wahle
said it proved that Rose feared the
gunner; that he sought them out to
prove he had nothing to do with the
framing up of Jack" zelig, their gang
leader.

case" declared Mr. Wahle
