"Bridgie" Sticks to Former
Testimony; Says Officer
Instigated Murder.

New York, May Hilary WALTON,
fellow conspirator with Bald Jack"
Rose and others in the plot which re-
suited in the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai. for which Charles Becker is being
tried the second time, admitted on
crossexamination today that he had
lied on many occasions in respect to
: the murder. but swore his story lead
ing I'd 10 the crime was correct IN es-
seutial details. In no important points
was his story shaken by counsel for
the defense
New York. May 15.-The rich Mr..
Weber. who got his nickname OF

he loIled about his Chinatown opium
den in red and gold kimonos. long be-
fore he became underwater for muir

He matched his cold heart and his
supple mind against the impetuosity
Of Berger's lawyer, Manton and only
the jurymen know who had the better

are that Manton left him without a
shred of repute, except the mere title

and gangsters who were awed by his
money and his airs.
Weber chung to the main accuse
tons against Becker-that Becker IN
the Harlem conference took the job
OF numbering Rosenthal out of Roses
hands and gave It to him; that he met
Becker in Forty-second street after the
murder. heard Becker's ferocious COM
ment on the dead squealer, and at
Becker's command supplied $1,000 &c
pay the gunner.
The lawyers for the defense say
that Bridge has discovered that he
has a human heart and that he would
like TO help Becker II he could They
say they have a dictagraph record of
this admission and that they are GO
ing to get IT into the case. There was
not the slightest Indication from Web
Der today. however. that he would lift
q finger for his old friend OF the po-
lice. Once during a lull in the testi-
mony he caught Becker's gaze full on
him, and If ever hatred glinted in a
mans eyes it showed in Webber's.
Nor was there any indication n his

Boys CONFESSION
Is BEFORE COURT
Jean Gianini Tells How He Put
to Death Miss Ida Beecher,
His Teacher.

Herkimer, n. Y, May 15-The con-
fession alleged to have been made by
Jean Gianini, telling in detail how he
murdered his young school teacher.
Ida Beecher, was introduced at his
trial today. The story as offered was
as follows:
81 went to school to Ida Beecher
and had trouble with her and waited
to get revenge.
81 met her at the hotel and walked
up the street with her up beyond the
stone quarry. She had been coming
to see my folks about school and was
coming up to see them last night and
l told her they lived up the hill. When
we got up there on the left side of the
road, / hit her on the head with a
monkey wrench that I got out of my
fathers barn. / had the wrench in
my pocket when / went up.
After I hit her about three times
with the wrench hit her with knife
several times to be sure to finish her
and then / took her over in the lot.
dragged her by the foot. Then / went
home and got there about 1880.
1.-The knife / stabbed her with was
one that belonged to my father and
/ took 1t home and put it in the pantry
drawer. / left the wrench somewhere
near where / hit her. When / hit her
first she did not scream but moaned.
She said she thought it was quite a
ways and she did not see the house
'T was not afraid when I got home.
/ was just as happy as 1 ever was and
did not think anything about it, as
thought 1 had revenge"
Gianini said further, according to
the deputy sheriff, that he was away
from his home less than an hour in
committing the crime. He added that
he slept soundly after returning to the
house.
The prosecution will close its case
today.

Rose, he emphasized the two great
points on which the whole Gaze swings
the Harlem conference and the For
ty-second street post norton arrange
ment
In every way possible Mr. Manton
tried TO squeeze from Weber some
statement or admission that would
support the defense: urged the posi-
bility that Rose had Rosenthal assassi-
mated because Rosenthal sent word to
the gangsters that Rose put Zelig in
the Tombs: but Weber carefully pro-
tected Rose, exculpated him wherever
exculpation was possible and invari-
ably glided back to Becker as the man
responsible.
The three main witnesses-"Rose
the fxer," who tried to double cross
Becker at the last minute: Weber.
the moneyed man, to whom murder
was triviality. and WALTON. the color
less confidant, who "butted in" as
Rose says-were on the stand today.
There was only one lacking of this
gentle crew. That was Schepps, the
dear sam" of the outfit: Schepps, the
buffon and official jester of the con-
spiracy- The court OF appeals having
looked Mr.. Schepps up. he could not
be present. Now that Whitman has

roboration OF the Harlem conference
story, however. he may want the inn
pertinent but always sprightly Sam

HIGH JUMPERS IN
CENTRAL AFRICA
Watussi Clear Bar at 8 Feet, 8
Inches, Nearly Two Feet
Above Worlds Record.

Inquiry at the Offices of the Nation
al Geographic society, in Washington.
as to what race of people possesses
the worlds highest jumpers, has re-
vealed the fact that this distinction
goes to the Watussi, natives of Ger
man East africa, whose athletes clear
the bar" at the remarkable height of
eight feet and five inches. This ex-
ceeds the worlds record by one foot
and IL 3-S inches. The society's re-
port is based on the observations of
the Duke Adolphus Frederick of Neck
lenberg, who spent two years in the
German province and who regards
Ruana, the home of the Watussi,
race of giants, and of the Batwa, pyg-
mics of the forests, the most interest
ing country in central Africa.
The duke describes the wonderful
jumping of the Watussi as follows:
"a line, which could be raised or
lowered at will, was stretched be-
tween two slender trees stanNing on
an incline. The athletes had to run
I'D to this and jump from small ter
mite heap a foot in heighth. Despite
these unfavorable conditions, exhibit
tons were given which would place
all European efforts in the shade. The
best jumpers-slender. but splndid hg-
ures, with an almost Indian profile
attained the incredible height of eight
feet and five inches, and young boys
made the relatively no less wonderful
performance of five feet. / obtaiped
a few capital pictures of these note
worth performances, and their repro
duction in Germany aroused great in
terest.
"A number OF young Watussi exhib-
tied their remarkable skill in javelin
throwing. Taking a run OF 10 steps,
bending backward almost to the
ground, they hurled their javelins up
to almost prodigious heights, and with
such impetus that two OF the spear
shafts broke in the air from the vibra-
ton. It was the same with the shoot
ing matches with bow and arrow, In
which the trunk of banana tree was
used for the butt. Great strength is
required to bend the bow correctly,
and to draw IL to its fullest extent long
years OF practice are necessary.
