Mrs. Annabelle, Bonner to go on
the witness stand here and lay
bare humiliating family secrets
in an effort to save her son,
Charles Bonner, aged 18, from
paying the extreme penalty. for
numbering Bernice Godair, a IT.

In a halting voice, frequently
choked by sobs, Mrs. Bonner told
the jury of certain paternal and
hereditary I. Influences to which
Charles was subjected, and on
which Attorney Hoff Cook hopes
to base an insanity defense.
Several members of the jury
broke down as the little gray
haired mother related details of
family history.
In his opening remarks Attor-
Eney Cook told the jury that he ex-
pected to prove young Bonner's
mental instability.

GETS PACKAGE
Of CYANIDE
IN LETTER
{By United Press Leased iWre.)

{By United Press Leased fWre.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Inter-
est in the ROsenthal murder case
today centered in the testimony
given the grand jury by big Jack
Selig, alleged leader of the New
York gangsters who shot and
killed Gambler Herman Rosen-
thai before the Hotel Metropoie
here.
Selig alleges that his arrest is a
frame-up, that he knows nothing
about the murder and was in no
way implicated with New York
police officials in alleged graft
operations.
District Attorney Whitman to-
day confirmed reports that he has
received a package of cyanide OF
potassium through the mails. He
regards the matter as joke but
attaches of his office urged him
to make an effort to run down
the sender of the package, believ-
Ing 1t to be the work OF a sus-
pect in the graft case.
Spurred to action by District
Attorney Whitman's reward OF
$1,000 for the arrest Of Lefty
Louie" Rosenberg and Harry Har-
rowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood"
New York and upstate towns are
being eombed by private detec-
tives. In offering the reward
Whitman said:
"This reward is not offered to
any meambes of the New York po-
lice department. In taking this
position l am not actuated by any
feeling of unkindness toward the
department, but 1t Is my belief
that IL the proper police work
had been done these men would
now be in custody"
Following a errunctory inquest
here today, Coroner Feinberg and
his millionaire jury" returned a
verdict that Gambler Herman
Rosenthal, shot down by New
York gangsters, met death at the
hands of a person or persons un-
known to the jury. Only f1ve
witnesses testified.
Police Lieutenant Charles Beck
er, the central figure in the fam
GUS murder case; William Sha-
pira, "Dago Frank" Ciroflci ana

ed before Judge Grain today on
the indictments returned by the
grand jury. Becker waived plead
ing to the second indictment, the
others pleading not guilty.
