PRODUCTION Of documentary evidence
of this nature. c. ]. Cooper, general
manager Of the Southern Life Insur-
ance company, was on the stand
when the court took recess for din
ner. He testified to protesting against
the amount Of the commissions
charged by Hebert for making the
sale of this stock and that he scaled
1t down from $4,000 to about $76,-
900 and also disallowed $4,000 bonus,
which 1t was alleged Hebert claimed.
He went into the contract made be-
tween the companies through Hebert
and had finished his direct testimony
when the noon recess was taken. Mr..
Thurmond conducted the direct ex-
animation for the prosecution. Judge
Prince took charge Of the jury, stat
ing that the statewide interest and
the Importance Of this case caused
this step as advisory and in the in
terest Of justice and fair play. The
jury was placed in charge OF two con-
stables and given dinner at a local
hotel It will be kept together until
the case Is concluded, which will prob
ably be in two or three days. The deal
through which the Seminole Securi-
ties company purchased controlling
interest in the Southern Life Insllr-
ance was made in 1908. and the in
allotment In this case was entered in
January, 1910. Hebert fought extra
dition to South Carolina for several
years, but finally came to the state
and surrendered and came back this
week to stand his trial. He is a resi-
dent OF Chattanooga, Tenn. The case
at first attracted great interest, but
very little attention Is being paid to
1t by the public today, judging from
the slim attendance of spectators in
the court room this morning. Mr..
Cooper finished his testimony this
afternoon. Other witnesses for the
state who testified were Insurance
Commissioner McMaster, ]. H. league
OF Florence, s. L. Miller Of Columbia,
and w. A. Clark Of Columbia, who
was one of the trustees of the SEM
mole company. The prosecution will
introduce some documentary evidence
tomorrow. The defense announced
that 1t would offer only one witness,
and. following the speeches of the
lawyers and the Judges charge, the
case will probably go to the Jury to-
morrow afternoon. A verdict NAV be
expected tomorrow night The Jury
was locked up for the night.

 "Everything is o. K. Becker has fixed things just as he said he would"
 Chapiro said he thought it was "Dago Frank" Cirifoci who made the statement. He said he knew the volce of the other men, "Gyp, the Blood, Lefty Louie and Whitey Lewis. II was none of these. The witness stat ed positively that the gunmen who went to the Metropole in the murder car were the four he named.
 This is a direct contradiction of the alleged confession of "Dago Frank made at Sing Sing, when he insisted he left the party at Webber's place and went up town to get bail for his sweetheart, Jean Gordon, who had been arrested in Harlem.
 The only other witness of the day was Dr. Dennis Taylor, who testified at the opening of the trial that he had answered the ambulance call sent by the police on the night of the murder

ROSE REPEATS MURDER STORY Former Gambler Details Plot Against Herman
 Rosenthal. REFUTES CONFESSION Chauffeur of "Murder" Car Gives Testimony Conflicting With Last
 Statement of "DagO
 Frank"

New York, May 12.-Tack Roses story of murder, graft and intigue be- tween the police and the gamblers of New York, which already has re- suited in the execution of the four Rosenthal gunmen and the conviction of Charles Becker at the first trial, will be submitted to the acid test of cross-examination tomorrow.
 Strengthened in voice and manner by the twist of fate which has lifted him to a position of conditional responsibility in the community Rose repeated the details of the murder plot from it's Genesis to is conc1usion today.
 On the ability of Beckers lawyers to shake the faith of the jury in the statements made by the reformed gambler admittedly hangs the fate of the former head of the strong arm" squad, as it constitutes the backbone of the district attorneys case.
 Rose elaborated on some. points of the narrative as repeated at the first trial and condensed on others. A new point of striking interest was the assertion that Rosenthal had not only been Becker's partner in the gambl- ing business but had served him as "stool pigeon" in obtaining evil dence against other gamblers. It was brought out that Rosenthal had certain influences in the police department in addition to his early "pull'' with Becker. Rose quoted Rosenthal as saying that he had been I ,4o1 i,, h ox,i, al ar, Foye appointed a member of Becker s strong arm" squad.
 | A litter suggesting suppressed ] laughter rippled through the court room when Rose said he had endeav- ored to get Rosenthal and Becker tC submit their differences to a mediator before it became bitter quarrel.
 The amazing narrative was related without any effort at dramatics, the jury listening attentively to every word as though no other testimony was to be heard. The only evidence of emotion exhibited by the witness was when he recounted the incidents of the conference between himself Becke- and Webber in West 42nd street within an hour or so after the murder on the morning on July 16 1912. Tears trickled across the mask-like countenance which made Rose famous as a power player, as he related this part of the story.
 Asked at the conclusion of his testimony if he had become uanerved
 at the particular point in this story Rose said:
 "I can never forget the horror o
 the hours that followed just after the killing of Rosenthal. l knew wha
 had happened. I knew the part 1 hat taken in the whole affair. And while
 telling again the story as we frs repeated it to Becker on that night
 the scene came back to me and over
 whelmed me for the moment" Rose followed William Shapiro, thu chouffeur of the murder car, on thu l stand. Shapiro was permitted to mak'
 a telling point against Becker whil

NEW TROOPS APPEAR
(BY CHARLES MICHELSON)


 Vera Cruz, May 12.-More than 600 rived here this afternoon aboard the steamer Alfonso, bringing stories of the preparation for a rebel attack on the town, which were being com pleted when they left. The reDels have given notice to all foreigners to flee within A hours, declaring they were unable to guarantee their safety, as the attack would probA ply be the fiercest in the history of the rebellion.
 The Spanish vice consul at 7am pico, sent report to the Spanish consul here, saying that conditions at Tampico were critical and that famine is feared. He also stated that the federals were showing signs of panic, many refusing to leave their homes.
 Four hundred and fifty other Spaniards are being put aboard an oil steamer for transportation here. ing for liner to take off these Spaniards.
 Lieutenant Richardson, in charge of the refugee train. this afternoon re- ported that appearance of federal soldiers at the Mexican outposts at Tembladeros, at this end of the gap in the railroad line.

OIL WELLS BURNING

New York, May 12-The Sun prints the following:
 By Fred c. Wilson, special cores pendent of the New York Sun, Tam pico, May 10 (via Galveston, May 12) After a four-day artillery duel, which has been almost uninterrupted, the constitutionalists under General Gonzales have pressed closer on Tam pico than they have been before.
 Achievements came to both sides after the rebel check on Friday, but the attacking force seemed to have the advantage in the matter of big guns. Since yesterday morning their cannon have been sounding clearer to the warships in the outer harbor and their shells are bursting almost regularly in the outskirts of the city itself.
 Only meager reports come to the ships, and these only from federal sources, but they tell that the rebel guns have made a breach in the fed eral Notifications, six miles outside the city limits, running south from the Panuco river.
 As a frame work to the artillery picture is long crescent of heavy black smoke on the horizon, which, the federals say, is caused by burning oil tanks and wells set in flames by the rebels. The entire country, they say, has been devastated to the north, west and southwest by the attacking columns and many of the inhabitants have been murdered. It is a war to the end, it is added, and no neutrals are recognized on either side.
