 AeAihsf RosENTHAL.
EYES WERE NEVER STILL
Shapiro Testified Yesterday That He Heard oase Frank Say: "Evsrythina all Right Becker Has Cops Fixed"

New York, May p3-Ceunsel for Charles Becker, who is on trial charged with the murder of Herman Rosenthal obtained today an admission from William Shapiro, driver of the gray murder car. that testimony he gave on direct examination at today's session was not the same as that he gave at the trial of the four gunmen- At the gunmen's trial Shapiro testified that while driving the four gunmen to the Metropole hotel he heard 'Dago Frank. say Everything is all right. Becker has the cops fixed" At the first Becker trial. Shapiro testified he heard some body in the car make 8 remark about everything being all right" He didn't know the person. however.
 During his direct examination today he testified that it was "Whitey Lewis who said Everything is all right Becker has fixed the cops" After be- ing closely questioned for more than a half hour by MT. Manton of Becker's counsel, Shapiro finally admitted that he had told two different stories. shapiro said his testimony today was the truth. He added that it was 'Dago Frank who ordered him to turn his machine toward Sixth avenue when he drew up in front of the Hotel Metro pole in Forty third street. Shapiro did not remember just what he testified to at the inquest conducted by the coroner into the killing of the gambler.
 Shapiro became highly nervous un- der cross examination by MT. Manton. It is expected that his admission will play an important part in the trial later on.
 Bald Jack" Rose. the, star witness for the state at the first trial, took the stand after Shapiro. He was examined by District Attorney Whitman and went fully into the details of the all legged conspiracy that resulted in the death of Rosenthal He told how Becker had urged him to have the gambler ''silenced" and the manner in which he secured the gunmen to do the job" He also told how he had instilled fear of 'frameup" and an arrest into the minds of the gunmen to make them murder Rosenthal as, he said Becker demanded.
 While he was telling his story Rose s eyes were never stiIl. shifting between the face of District Attorney Whitman, Becker, the crowd in the court room and the floor at his feet While he talked in a voice that was not audible at the rear of the room. his answers were direct and to the point.
 The direct examination of Rose was concluded late today. His cross ex- animation will begin with the resump- ton of the proceedings tomorrow morning.
