"'N hau ptcH trusted Dy Jerome
ana who had been with Whitman for a
year, Hart was In California now and
couldn't be called to testify. But Il had
been shown that he went frankly and
without disguise to Pollok's house and
that he did not use a password.
THAT Zelig was framed up IL the most
important evidence In this case" said Mr..
Marton. That's just why Rose had
Rosenthal murdered. what 10 the in
formation as to that from respectable
witnesses? That Rose took so much in
terest In Zelis that he gave Zelig 800.
had Ielg bailed out by Weber and
showed that he was afraid OF Zelig q
sunmen. What has been testified to as
to what Zelig said to Rose: 4 tell you
jack that u you are under the impress
SION that they'll rush me to Sing Sing
FOR fourteen years, you're wrong, and
your have to reckon with friends OF
mine
That's the secret OF the Rosenthal muir
der. This degenerate Rose was also a
coward. He knew the avenue boys had
accused him OF framing up Zellg and he
had fear In his heart. He set out to
square himself with Zeligs crowd. lie
met them at a cafe and arg Jed that he
wasn't TO blame. Then. afraid that Ros-
enthal would tell Zelig he was to blame
he had Rosenthal killed.
Then Mr.. Manton came to the Harlem
conference. He dwet on the alleged
conspiracy to put the blame on Becker. a
conspiracy. he said. that was Matched In
the West Side prison after Schepps ar
rived from Hot Springs. He said that the
letters between Rose and Schepps were
the beginning of the conspiracy. He
quoted Schepps. why do you want me 70
corroborate a few lies, for instance, that
| paid the $1,000 to L. L. lefty Louie)
on Forty-second street, and a few Others
that ! don't care to mention?"
Those who listened got the impression
that Mr.. Manton was seeking to make the
jury believe that Schepps had written 10
Rose asking for tip as TO what should
be done.
Mr., MantUn again inquired where
Schepps was and where Moe Levy was in
this trial Then he turned to the Forty
second street conversation after the MUIR
der between Becker. Rose and Weber.
Did that ever occur" he asked the
jury. Just think OF II. This guilty
man meets the perpetrators OF the crime
IN public street and says: I'm glad the
squealing - Is dead. could have cut
out his tongue and hung 1t up AS "A warn
Ing TO future squealers.' Who says this
happened? Why. Rose and webber. Who
says Becker was not there? Hawley, a
man who was a reporter and who is now
trusted by "A big business concern
WI HltUA'n dIENtl tnht Bechers aC-
lions on the night OF the murder were not
the aciions Of a guilty man and that II
he had had knowledge OF the murder he
would have been on his way to New
Jersey or some other refuge. Then the
pleader began his eulogy OF Jack sullivan.
King OF the Newsboys"
Why" he sad. Jack Sullivan is the
greatest character this city has seen in
twenty years lie lacks the makeup OF a
gentleman. no doubt, but there ls in him
a desire for honor and square dealing and
a ferrent regard for the truth. He shows
IN wonderful contrast to the other char
acters In this case. What did he endure
Tor telling the truth? An indictment for
murder in the first degree that was never
prosecuted. Look at the temptations Of
tsred to him. Why was he put in jail for
eight months and half? Because he was
murderer oh, no, Because he would
not be corroborator He was sent to the
Vest side prison TO be tempted.
