ooFF SAVES echEpPs FROM
SEEMING CONTRADICTION,

Mr. Wahe read from a transcript OF
the Becker trial evidence Of OF Schsppss
answers In which he was recorded as
saying he had sat with the driver. It
looked as 10 schepps was caught In a
contradiction. but Justice Con called
Mr.. Wahies attention to the fact that
he had better read little further on In
Schepps's testimony. where he would
md that the witness SAID In the Becker
trial that he had sat behind the chaut-
feur.
THE rebuff took all the JOY out Of
cross examining Schepps and counsel
for the gunmen dropped him.
A brief re-rebuttal examination by
Mr.. Moss served to emphasize the wit
nesss testimony. whereupon he gave
way to that witness OF witnesses
Jack" Rose.
Evidently It was a day Of mourning
for the States big Four" because
Rose was black as crow save for his
glistening white collar and shining hair
less head. Where on Thursday he was
study In brown. to-day he was q
dlree In black. He was groomed to
within an inch Of his life. but he was
on the stand a little less than sixty
seconds.

Herman ROsenthal? A. 1 did not.
O. Were you present at the shooting

The black-garbed Rose departed and
the State called Police Lieutenant Will
lam A. Jones. Jones said ne had found
"a 32-calibre revolver In Lefty Louie's'
trunk.
Q. In your opanion haA that re-
volvsr been fred Q short time b.
fors3 4. Yes.
Justice Con blocked an attempt to
elaborate this phase Of testimony on
the ground that 1t must be established
that no one else but one OF the de-
PENDANTS could have discharged the
revolver. This barrier could not be
surmounted. and the witness gave way
TO Jacob Wick of No. 8 Cooper Square.
iMPEAcHEs THE TESTIMONY OF
WITNESS FOR Defense.
Wick said that Mrs. Mary Ellen
HYDE had been tenant Of his and had
not enjoyed q repetition for truthful
