never had anything to do with a crap game and the district attorney knows it. You've got me mixed up with somebody"
 Didn't you ever collect money from disorderly houses?'
 You've got me mixed up, I tell you. You've got me in wrong. Somebody's S dreaming when they told you that. What are you trying to put over that on me for? You're trying to frame me up."
 MT. Moss read names of alleged dis orderly house proprietors and asked him if he hadn't collected money from them.
 You might as well ask me if I col lected money from the Standard oil or Archbold," Sullivan said.
 MT Moss attempted to go over with the witness the events of the night of tho murder. but Sullivan proved so re- calctrant that the attorney gave up the examination.
 Bessie Feldinan. 17-year-old girl, the next witness, said that on the evening of July 15, Morris Luban was at her home in Brooklyn and remained until 1:15 o'clock the morning of July 16. She failed to vary her story on cross-exam- nation. Luban has testified for the state as an eye witness of the murder of Ro- senthal.
 After Miss Feldman was excused court was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 Becker Makes Statement
 The story which Lieutenant Charles H. Becker hopes to be allowed to tell on the stand in his own defense was out lined today in statement given out by him.
 "If I am allowed to tell my story on the witness stand.'' he said. 'I can show how simple and how obviously ineocent am so far as the explanations of my meetings with Rose have been testified to by stool pigeons.
 '"The best evidence that was not profit ing by my place as head of the strong arm squad and was not plotting to mur- der anybody, so 2 could keep the job, are the requests I made to Commissioner Waldo almost every week from the frs. part of this year to be relieved of that command I did this because of charges of graft and bribery, and anything else knew that every man in a place like mine had gone to the wall before such attacks sooner or later and especially M G. Perdue, as citation. My relations with Rosenthal did not require any mur- der plot to support it. 1t will show for itself that it Is the natural, reasonable, truthful explanation of everything that ever happened between us. I used Rose to get evidence against gambling resorts. He was invaluable. and I had to do every thing 1 possibly could to keep him in line. Before l made raids I tried to find out the names and all the residences of the employcs of the houses marked for raids. Rose could get me such information as no one else. Rose has woven me into this story of a murder plot. I always sus- pected him, but I did not care partic- ularly what he did so long as l could prevent him from double crossing me.

Witness Becomes Cumulative

Sullivan immediately became cumulative when Mr. Moss asked if he had ever given bail for criminal "offenses.'
 'T object to that question: shouted the witness. He was directed to answer and said he had given bail only for crap shooters but never for anything worse" Sullivan soon was shouting at the top of his voice and refused to be subdued.
 Weren't you interested in crap game at S9 Second avenue?' asked Mir. Moss
 T was never interested in nothing. 1
