II developed at this point that tho
prosecution has new witness in the per-
son OF negro boy named Marshall, VINO
! WALTON
! Webber at Path St and Seventh av on
the night OF the famous conference. Mar
shall is said TO have come and teikeu
with Becker while he was comforting WIN
the other conspirators. and made re-
port to him in relation TO crap JOINT
in the neighborhood which he INTENDED
raidng that night. Rose did not mention
the boy In his testimony at the first trial.
Rose said that he did not know the
boys name. but that he had met him or
rather saw him once or twice recently
and had not spoken to him. 1t was evil
dent that the boy had been taking look
at the witness TO see If he could identity
him as having been at the Harlem con-
ference
Mr.. Manton brought out that Rose had
written" at one time that Rosenthai
had once hired Spanish Louie" an East
Side gunman, 20 shoot Sam" Paul, head
of the Sam Paul Association. who had
quarrelled with Rosenthal, as other East
side gamblers had on account Of Rosen-
thals reported tendencies to "squeal.'
Motive to Xiii Rosenthal.
Spanish Louie" trailed Sam" Paul
for two weeks and finally found him al
his association. where Sam" gave him
$50. and Louie" called off the shooting
proposition. according to Roses story
This point was evidently brought Out
to show a motive for some of the East
Side gamblers wanting to get Rosen'
thai out of the way.
Mr.. Manton showed, in strengthening
this contention of the defence. that Rose
had been on friendly terms with Lefty
| Louie" one OF the gunner executed for
the Rosenthal murder. at about this
time. though he has testified that he
feared the members Of big Jack" Zelig'
| gang, of which Lefty" was a member.
| This time was fixed as some limo in
| Nay or June, 1912 Rosentbal was killed
| in July Of that year.
/ Mr.. Manton then undertook to point to
| Rose directly as the man who actually
/ wanted Rosenthal murdered, instead of
Becker. He brought out that II was about
! this same time that Rose knew Rosenthal
| had been circulating the report that he
/ (Rose) had framed up" Zelig, and init
mated that because Rosenthal had tried
to set the gunner on him Rose had
turned the tables" and sent out the gum
men after RosenthaL
Mr.. Manton pointed out that though
Rose had testified at the first trial that
he did not know Spanish Louie" he had
since written and described his appear
/ ance accurately and gone so far as to
write that he had once hired Spanish
/ Louie himself" Rose said that he had
meant to testify that he did not know the
| gangster intimately.
/ Some OF the discrepancies between
/ Roses former testimony and his writings
were considered the strongest points that
the defence made in the cross-examina-
ton OF Rose. District Attorney Whitman
Jumped to Roses rescue on these occa-
slons by getting IL in the record that Rose
had not been writing of his own knowl-
edge, but from hearsay and rumors. lie
promised to clear these points up better
to-day on the redirect examination OF
Rose.
In view OF some OF this testimony on
cross-examination, Mr.. Manton said after
the trial that he believed he had virtually
fastened the murder OF Rosenthal on
Rose. and that Rose and his associates
their necks.
Mr.. Manton wanted to know II Rose had
been TO Sam and Meyer Boston, brothers,
prospective witnesses for the defence. to
tell them to keep off the witness stand as
the District Attorney knew they were
pickpockets. Rose denied II.
The lawyer for the defence dwelt at
length on the occasions when Rose, Web
Der and Vallon, after they had turned
'informers," met and talked with Dis
trict Attorney Moss and other members
OF the District Attorneys staff, in the
Tombs and at the West Side court prison
He was evidently trying to show that the
witnesses had ample opportunity to re-
hearse their stories among themselves, as
we'll as with the District Attorney.
