murder. Mr. Moss conceded the receipt
of the message by Frank at that time.
James Maloney, keeper In the
Tonbs prison, swore that William
Shapiro driver of the murder car, told
him that IL was Harry Vallon and Sam
Schepps who put revolvers to his head
and told him to speed up after the
shooting and not "Gyp the Blood" as
Shapiro testified. On cross-examina-
tion Maloney said Shapiro had said this
during Becker's trial, but that he MA

til after Becker was convicted.
The defense then rested Its case and
at the request of Justice Goff, Morris
Luban was called as the first witness
in rebuttal The court said that for
purposes Of record he wanted Luban
again to identity the defendants who
fired shots at Rosenthal. Luban pick ed
out "Gyp." Lefty Louie" and "Dago
Frank"
Giovanni Stanish was then recalled
and Rose. Webber. WALTON and Schepps
were brought into the court room and
lined up. After the quartette had an
swered to their names so that the jury
might recognize them, Stanish was
asked IL he had seen any of them IN
the vicinity of the Metropole at the
time of the murder
II did not" he replied.
Adjournment was taken until tomor-
