The two Lubans, while confined In the
Newark jail. had let drop numerous hints
that they could aid Mr.. Whitman in the
Becker trial. They were frequently Wis
tied in the Jail by two women, and II Is
the belief Of the other prisoners at New
ark that word was sent to Mr.. Whitman
through these women. 1t was said yes
terday that the Lubans had told some
persons in the Jail that they were eye wit
nesses to the shooting Of Rosenthal.
The Luban brothers are said to have
coached the women carefully regarding
what was to be said to Mr.. Whitman or
his representative. 1t Is said that the
women were told to impress upon Mr..
Whitman that the Lubans saw Rosenthal
as he fell to the sidewalk Immediately
after the shooting, and that they were
personally acquainted with some Of the
gangmen implicated In the shooting
1t is reasonably certain that at least
one OF the brothers told the District At

may be able to tell something along the

About this time Zelig, when leaving the
Criminal Courts Building, was shot and
wounded by man named Tort. Imme-
diately upon his discharge from the hos
pital Zelig was rearrested and his bail on
the charge OF carrying concealed weapons
was raised from $4,000 to $4,000, and he
was kept in jail Becker came to Rose
and said:
Now is the time for Rosenthal to be
put out OF the way Zelig is In the
Tombs. He can issue orders from the
Tombs to have II done. His presence in
jail will be complete abb for him"
We Will produce the men who went to
Zelig In the Tombs to confer with him
about tho matter. Zelig refused to treat
with him until he was let out on bail.
Rose himself finally procured the bail for
Zelig's release. az we shall show you, and
gave Zelig money TO get out OF town, as
we also shall prove. Becker and Rose
were then meeting every day. Becker
told Rose that ~ that gang doesn't

Rose finally went to the four gunner,
who were then living at No. 747 Southern
Boulevard. He told them OF Becker S
statements, OF his promise TO free Zelig
and OF his threats to frame them up
unless theys got rid OF Rosenthal. They
agreed to do as Becker asked Rose was
TO let them know when Il was to be done.
Things again drifted along. and Becker
became more impatient. We will show
you that he began TO feel that Rose either
wouldn't or couldn't procure the killing
OF Rosenthsl. meeting was arranged
for Becker with Weber at 124th street.
There he put the proposition squarely up
TO Weber. TO the effect that Rosenthal
must be put out OF the way, that his ex-
posures would ruin the whole grating
situation. He agreed 10 meet Weber later
at the Union Square Hotel where Weber
had promised him, after talking with
Rose, that he would see to II that Rosen-
thai was killed.
The District Attorney then referred TO
the plan to kill Rosenthal at the Garden
restaurant. which the presence OF Burns 8
men checkmated, and said that Becker
thereupon became violent and told Rose
that II he did not get the gunner to do It.

HAS RUN OF HARD LUCK

William Crandell, formerly of Eagle
Lake, but now living at New Frederic,
Wis, while clearing and chopping
cord wood for Fl. Cummins, met
with painful accident last week
while telling an oak tree In the
road. 1t fell back over the stump
and glancing sideways caught Mr..
Crandel's foot and leg, breaking
both bones twice, close to the ankle
and about six inches above the ankle
and also injuring the ankle bone OF
his right leg.
Mr. Crandell had just purchased
an eighty acre piece of land mostly
on time, expecting to pay for the
same out of his hard work and a
few hundred cords of maple timber
standing on the place. Mr.. Gram
dell certainly has the sympathy of
all his old neighbors, as he has had
seemingly his share of trouble, los
ing by death two wives in the last
few years, leaving to him four small
children to care for, and is COM
mendable for him in keeping his
little family together, clothing and
schooling them the best he can.
Now comes this last accident and
misfortune, depriving him of months
of labor which he stands in need OF.
