Cause for Reflection

The Iresluenls stdtelltnt coiitiiiueS.
 This assault the shooting of Mayor Gaynon and the assassination of three out of the last nine of our Presidents, are events which must cause solemn reflection by all Americans upon condi- tions which make it possible, that such dastardly deeds may occur in a coun- try affording to it's citizens such com plete advantages of civil liberty.
 'It is difficult entirely to avoid the ma lignant purpose of the cunningly insane. The severe enforcement of the laws against the carrying of concealed weapons and the more rigorous and certain prose- cution of all such attempted crimes are, of course, helpful, but the condemna- ton of all good citizens of such acts and their cooperation in preventing the spread of vicious doctrines which would excuse or palliate an attempt to remedy fancied wrongs by resort to violence will be more effective.
 "I speak for the American people in ex- pressing the profound hope that Colonel Roosevelt may speedily recover from the effects of this dastardly act"
 Send Message to the Colonel
 MT Taft sent messages to Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt, respective ly, as follows:
 "I am greatly shocked to hear of the outrageous and deplorable assault made upon you and I earnestly hope and pray that your recovery may be speedy and without suffering. w. Fl. TAFT
 ''I extend to you my heartfelt sym pathy in your present distress. l earn estly hope and pray that you and your family and the country may be promptly relieved of suspense by news that all danger is passed.

May Attempt to Prove That Gamblers instigated the
 Death of Rosenthal
.SCHEPPS ON STAND
 THE ENTIRE DAY
Adds Another Link to Evidence Against Becker by Swearing Of ficer Asked Him If Gun
 men Had Been Paid

New York, october 15-Gamblers and not Police Lieutenant Charles Becker in- stigated the murder of Herman Rosen- thai according to tie line of defense in dieated by counsel for the accused of fleer at today's session of his trial. A large sum of money raised by gamblers was paid to get Rosenthal out of New York when he began to "squeal' on the subject of police protection. When ne took the money and then refused to go the gamblers, threatened with the loss of their protection, plotted and executed his murder through the agency of the four gunmen.
 Al least such was the outline of the de- fense implied in questions put by John F. Mcintyre, Beeker's counsel. to Sam Schepps on the witness stand today.
 Sehepps was not given an opportunity to say whether he had Knowledge that such was the origin of the murder plot for Justice Golf excluded the question.
 Witness Looks Bored
 The witness merely looked bored. He had spent practically the entire day on the stand corroborating testimony of Jack Rose, "Brldgie'' Webber and Harry Val lon. the trio of self confessed accom- plices who accuse Becker of having in- spred the murder.
 Schepps added another link to the chain of evidence against the defendant by swearing that Becker had asked him if tho gunmen had been paid for their work He also testified ne had been the bearer of reassuring message from Becker to Jack Rose, when the latter was in hiding, ready to commit suicide" at the home of Harry Pollock. Schepps' part in the plot was that of messenger for Rose in rounding up the gunmen, but he denied he knew the killing of Rosenthal was on foot. He did not fully comprehend, he said. until Jack Rose had made a "ciean breast of it. to him, and then on "the advice of counsel'' he got out Of town.

 Becker's attorney tried again and again to make schepps admit he had been an aecomplice in the crime, but the witness appeared always with ready explana- ton for the part he had taken.
