 Bald Jack" Rose, the imperturbabIe star witness for the state of New York in the prosecution of Charles Becker. took the stand with the same easy manner that characterized him at the former trial, when he made his fame as the most remarkable witness who has ever testified In those parts.
 Jack Rose said that Charles Becker, when a police lieutenant. told him to induce Big Jack" ZeIig. leader of gunmen to "eroak" Herman Rosenthal. Zelig had been arrested by Becker's squad. Rose testified that Becker said:
 "Zelig Is in the Tombs on a second offense charge. He has fourteen years staring him in the face. He can't beat 1t, but I can beat it for him and I will. Go down to the Tombs and have Zelig send word out to his gang to 'croak' RosenthaI. There isn't murder In my heart, and I wouldn't under or dinary circumstances harm any one but there are some men it would be a blessing to murder. I can protect you. I'll take care of everybody. Why, they'd pin medal on the man who'd kill Rosenthal."
 Rose said that he and Vallon went to Zelig's as ordered and made over lures preparatory to the murder of Ro- seminal.
 William Shapiro. chauffeur of the car in which the gunmen were driven to and from the Hotel Metropoie, was called to the witness chair as the first important witness for the state.

 But 'Dago Frank was one of the conspirators," interjected District At torney Whitman.
 Shapiro was allowed by the court to repeat Franks order to turn the car around at Broadway and Forty-third street.
 After turning around Shapiro said he was told to stop In front of the Co., han theater with the car facing east. The four gunmen got out of the car.
 'I sat on my box" said Shapiro. "Fifteen minutes later l heard a shot"
 What happened then"
 'I heard the first shot fired and look ed around, and just as I heard the oth- CT shots fired they came running up and Jumped on the running board, two on each side of the car"
 "As you drove west on Forty-third street before the shooting, did you hear any of the conversation of your passengersT'
 "Yes, sir
