NEW YORK, May l2-"Bald Jack"
Rose, typical figure of the under
world took the stand in the murder
trial of Ex-Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker today and told story upon
which District Attorney Charles S.
Whitman relies to send Becker to the
death chair for the murder of Her
man Rosenthal.
Well-dressed, furtive-eyed and
sharp witted, Rose sat in the witness
chair with the impressive face of a
gambler calmly answering questions
when not prevented by the storm of
objections raised by Becker's lawyers.
Rose has a dead, yellow complexion
and his head is utterly devoid of hair
but the most remarkable feature of
his appearance is the eyes, which shift
furtively or CLEAN with rat-like Gu
pidity.
Tells of First Meeting.
After giving his occupation as "lec-
turer," and answering few prelim-
mary questions, as to age, name and
residence, Rose told how he first met
Becker in a gambling house that had
been raided in this city in October,
1911.

warrants he had against me-" said the
witness in an emotionless voice.
Rose then went on with his story
as to how Becker and he had formed
an agreement. Rose was to act as
collector for Becker and to watch
Becker's interest in a gambling house
operated by Herman Rosenthal, but in
which Becker, then a lieutenant of
police, was a silent partner. Becker
put $500 in the business, secured by
a chattel mortgage, and he was to get
25 per cent of the profits.
Business Poor.
81 used to see Becker nearly every
day after he went in with Rosenthal, .
said Rose Becker used to ask me
how business was but l could not give
him much encouragement for it was
slow. But told him it probably would
pick up as the house was new and not
very we'll known"
Rose then told of the friendship that
existed between Rosenthal and Becker
at that time, detailing one incidetnt
which occurred in the ElkS club when
Rosenthal, in the presence of Mrs.
Rosenthal, threw his arm affectionate-
ly over the police lieutenants shoulder,
saying: "You need no worry any
more; Charley is my friend and every
thing is all right now"
A few months after the Becker
wanted to withdraw and demanded his
$500 but Rosenthal said he could not

RAIN STOPS CORN planting,
MAKING FARMERS PESS|M|STS

For the last week. enough rain has
fallen to prevent farmers from COM
pleting their corn planting and many
of them are showing anxiety over the
delay. Not only will the planting run
too late into the season, but the ad-
vantages of the good spring showers
are not being had in many fields.
With fair weather predominating, it
is believed the corn can be in almost
all over the county by a week from
Saturday although it may be Decora-
ton day before some farmers finish
their planting. The rains are making
the ground too heavy to work con-
veniently, but even this will not stop
the farmers if the weather does not
clear soon.
Except for the delay in the corn
planting there is nothing to make
farmers pessimistic over the prospects
for big year. In every part of this
county, excellent stands of wheat are
the rule and unless there is some I'M
usual blight later, there will be big
wheat crop at harvest time which will
augment the winters prosperity.
However the wheat acreage the last

MAYOR STARTS WAR
ON STREET FAK|RS
Robbins Instructs Bond and
Bavis to Stop Public Nui.
SanceS.

Mayor Robbins today instructed
President Bavis, of the board of pub
lie works, to consult with City Attor-
ney Bond to see if some plan cannot
be devised to rid Richmond of the
street "fakir" nuisance
Il am sick and tired of seeing these
frauds holding forth on the principal
corners of the city, collecting crowds
which block the sidewalks and half
of the streets" Mayor Robbins said to-
day. THE stuff they sell is, as rule,
worthless and besides their presence
appearance. Other cities have found
remedy for this nuisance and | want
one applied here"
The action taken by the mayor today
was the result of witnessing two or
three hundred people assembled about
a wagon last night, showing each other
right and left in their efforts to pur-
chase bottles, guaranteed to cure
everything from prickly heat to old
age, at only % cents a bottle, gentle
men, three fer the small sum of fifty
cents, half of dollar-the chance
of your life time"
One street fakir secured a right to
dispose of his "cure-all'' from the
county clerk under a state statute,
because he was a veteran of the Span
ish-American war.
Even though the state in some in
stances permits war veterans to en-
gage in such business the mayor
thinks that they can be prevente
from working on street corners if they
are a public nuisance.

OF BECKER'S DEATH PLOT

pay it. This started a breach of i'll
feeling and Becker became insistent.
Crowd SpeIlbound.
The big crowd in the court room lis
tened breathlessly to Roses recital.
Becker, with one hand cupped behind
his ear kept his eyes on Roses face,
but occasionally he leaned over and
whispered suggestion to his lawyers.
In some way" said Rose, they
learned at police headquarters that
Becker was mixed up with a gambling
house. Becker then went to Rosen-
thai and suggested that his strong
arm squad pull off a friendly raid to
quiet these reports. Rosenthal said,
That guy must think I'm crazy"
Then Rose tried to persuade Rosen-
thai to stand for the raid, saying he
could take out his costly gambling
paraphernalia and put in old stuff, but
Rosenthal was obdurate. When Beck
err was told this he flew into a rage
and swore he would raid the place no
matter if he did lose his $500.
Then Rose told of angry messages
he carried back and forth between
Becker and Rosenthal. The raid was
made and Becker took care that it
was spectacular one with plenty of
furniture Smashing ny HIS SllOuS
arm squad"
Rosenthal's rage knew no bounds.
for he felt that Becker was not treat
ing him on the level"
Enters Murder Plot.
Rose then calmly went into the plot
which ended in the assassination of
Rosenthal at most under the glaring
lights of Broadway. Rosenthal. in
order to get revenge, started to eX-
pose the alliance which existed be-
tween Becker and the city outlaws of
the underworld. Urged by anger
and fear, Becker determined. accord
ing to the debonair witness, that Ros
enthal must be "crOaked"
The jurors leaned forward in their
seats listening intently to the tale of
crime and intrigue as the witness cool
ly unfolded it. Apparently the
thoughts of buying a murder did not
rub very hard against the moral con
science of the witness whose manhood
had been spent among the creatures
Of darkness.
Rose was the third witness of the
day, the first being a doctor who had
been called to the scene of the assass
ination after Rosenthal was shot and
the second William Shapiro, who
drove the four murderous gunner to
the scene of the killing. Shapiro had
hurt Becker's case by saying that the
gunner told him that Becker bad
everything fixed up and that there
was no danger of the cops.

JONES WILL HEAD
HIGHWAY MEETING
Wayne County Commission
er's Plan for District Gath
ering Becomes Statewide.

The idea of Highway Commissioner
Jones for a district meeting Of the
eight highway superintendent of the
Sixth district has been extended and
Jones now finds himself the leader
for a state meeting. The meeting will
not be held in Richmond as first plan
ned, but will take place in Indianapo-
lis, May % and 20.
While at Indianapolis Saturday, Mr..
Jones discussed his plan to organize
the highway commissioners of the
Sixth district. Others from various
parts of the state urged him to aban-
don the idea and make a state meet
ing of it, There are ninety-one super
intendents in the state, one county be-
ing without superintendent of roads.
Each commissioner will be asked to
attend and bring with them any ex-
pert road men or members of the
board of county commissioners to at
tend the two days session. No speak
ers have yet been arranged for and
probably much of the time will be TAX

The present road laws, including
the amendments passed in 1913, are
not in favor with county commission
ers and highway commissioners over
the state. 1t is said many vital de-
tails were neglected in making the
law and there is much room for ex-
tension.
