 Valon and Schepps-Waldo and Jerome Also Witnesses

New York, Oct. 1S-"Jack Sullivan, king of the newsboys," indicted with the four gunmen for the murder of Herman R1senthal, tried to unfold on the witness stand at today's session of Police Lieutenant Becker's trial, his version of an alleged conspiracy of gamblers to kill Rosenthal and frame up" Becker for the murder. Through him the defense. planned to go far in proving their contention that Beck CT Lad nothing t. do with the murder but was himself the victim of con- spiracy.
 Much of Story Ruled Gut.
 But much of Sullivan's story was untold. That part which Justice Goff permitted him to relate was based up- on testimony already given by the states witnesses, Rose, Webber, Val Ion and Schepps. Sullivan not only denied portions of their testimony re- lating to Becker's part in the alleged conspiracy to murder Rosenthal but declared that after the murder webber and Schepps told him they were going to frame Becker and turn him over to the district attorney"
 To Frame" Becker, Waldo or Mayor.
 These two men told Sullivan, ac- cOrulng Io ms teStlmony that they would frame Becker, Waldo or the mayor" if necessary to save their own lives. They told him they swore that the electric chair was staring them in the face and that their only chance to escape 1t lay in so doing. Sullivan became as petulant as a child when Justice Golf narrowed his testimony to contradictions of that of previous witnesses. Again and again he begged the court to "give me ten minutes to explain this thing" Once he asked for chance. mot only for my sake, but for Gods sake" Counsel was wrangling or objecting to his testi- mony every moment of the three hours he was on the stand Sullivan tired of this and during a brief recess ask ed permission to ''go. out for smoke

During one of these spells of excitement he shout ed that he was as innocent of the mur- der of Rosenthal as MT Yyhitmans baby"

The couple will be married later.
 Florence Bromley, who was Mac Farland's former stenographer, is a divorcee. It was her letters to Mac Farland which the prosecution pre- sented as showing Netherlands mo- tive for the alleged poisoning of his wife.

 The verdict of not guilty, after Mac Farland had been convicted in the first trial, overjoyed Mcfarland and the Bromley woman. They left the courtroom in high spirits, followed by cheering crowds, and drove to the marriage license bureau at City hall The crowd followed and from the gall lery above the clerks office 1t looked down upon the couple as they stood replying to the clerks questions.

 Let me see your divorce decree ? said the clerk.
 T have none" responded the wo- man.
 Then I cannot issue a marriage license" remarked the clerk.
 The Bromley woman said that her husband, John A. Dawen, Jr,, who ob- tained divorce from her in New Jer- sey for desertion, had never given her a copy of the decree, but she proposed to obtain one and carry out the mar riage. The couple left the courtroom amid the cheers of the crowd again and drove away in a closed carriage.

 They'll have to be short speeches at first, I suppose" he said, "but I'll make some good ones."
 The colonel paused for a moment He set his jaw hard and clenched his fist for the only time during the inter- view.
 T ask no quarter" he said.
 MarshalIs Predicament.
 Tt is amusing to see the predica- ment of Governor Marshall" he added with a laugh. "The governor has been making his campaign on the assertion that was not at San Juan Hill. This may stagger him, but in a week he will discover that I was not shot at all, and that anyway 1t was birdshot and that it hit another man instead of me, and finally that was in Oshkosh that night"
 May Go to Oyster Bay Monday.
 Colonel Roosevelt expected, he said, to bring the campaign to a close just as though he had not been shot. He hoped to be able to put in a week of campaigning and say a few things, al- though he might be unable to travel as he had been doing, making sometimes a dozen speeches in al day. His phy- sicians told him that probably he could leave for Oyster Bay on Monday or Tuesday, and the colonel at once made up his mind that he would go on the earliest train on Monday which would suit his purposes.

 Despite his confidence that he will be back in the fight week after next, the colonel has not yet received assur- ances that he will be able to make a single speech. A week of absolute rest at Sagamore Hill comes first. and i, will depend upon his progress than what comes next.
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the visit of Gov. Hiram Johnson. his running mate, who spent short time with him this afternoon. He said there was lit tie he could say about the conversation and that they had mot talked over the political situation, but for the most part we talked of other things not politics"
