R0FRANO CALLED
PLOTTERS' VICTIM
Attorney for Rocco Carni-
vale Says Police Were
Friendly to Foley.
STATES WITNESSES
CALLED JAILBIRDS
After Summing Up Trial Goes
Over to Monday, When Jury
VIII Get Case.

The last argument for the life OF
Rocco Carnivale, on trial charged with
instigating the murder of Michael Cal
mari, was made yesterday by Lloyd T..
Strykcr when he summed up ms
clients case to the jury. He closed
by'asking the jury if they would have
the prisoner burned to death"
The murder, the prosecution con-
tends, was the result of political row
in the I'd Assembly District between
Thomas +. Foley and Michael A. Ro-
franc, Deputy Street Cleaning Commits
sioner, and that il was at the direction
of Carnivale that Gaetano Montlmagno
shot and killed Gaimari.
Mr.. Stryker dubbed the witnesses for
the state Joseph and TOney La Sale
and James Serafne -jallbirds and per
iurers. The La Sale brothers told on
the witness stand of conversations Car
nivalc had had over the telephone with
some one in the Department Of Street
Cleaning and of having told them that
he had spoken to Rofrano. The La
SALES are serving twenty years each
for the killing of James Minot, another
I'd Assembly District crime. Seraflne
is in Jail for burglary.
THE peoples case is in the testl-
mony of the La Sale brothers" Mr..
Striker said, land if you cannot be
lieve them there is nothing more left
of the case. Did this self-confessed
perjurer and self-confessed murderer
Joseph La Sale lie when he said Car
nivale talked with Michael A. Rofrano
ever the telephone at his Office on Jan
uarv 4. or did Maurice Connolly, Bor-
ough President Of Queens, lie when ne
said ne saw Rofrano in Albany, 100
miles away, at that time?
"Mr. Rofrano proved conclusivcly
yesterday that he was in no way con
nected with the murder and that the
whole plot is the result of a conspiracy
to ruin him politically and otherwise
Mr.. STRIKER further charged that the
rolice. who, he said, were friendly 10
politicians in the I'd Assembly District
were concerned in the plot lie laid
much stress on the fact that william
A. CunifT. a detective, who worked on
the murder, was not called as wit
ness.
"Why was not he called" Mr.
Striker shouted. $50 that | might not
cross-examine him. If it has not Oc-
CURED 10 you, il must be apparent 70
you now that almost with every breath
| have accused him of subornatlon OF
perjury"
During his summing up counsel en-
phasized his remarks By walking over
TO Carnivale's seat several times and
shaking him violently. Mr.. Stryker
took about three hours for his closing
plea, after which Justice Davis ad-
