His Prosecutor

Part of the alibi by which Michael A.
Rofrano hopes to be acquitted OF the
charge of ordering the murder OF
Michael Giamar, his political opponent
in ex-Sheriff Foley's district, was put
in evidence yesterday at the eS-of-
ficials trial. The defendants principal
witnesses were Colonel William Hay
ward. Public Service Commissioner,
and Maurice E. Connolly, President Of
the Borough of Queens.
President Connolly testified that Ro-
franc was with him in Albany on Janu-
ary 4, 1915. 1t was on this day, tele-
phone slips show, that a call went out
from Rox CornelPs fat, in Borough
Park, Brooklyn, to Rofrano's Office in
the Municipal Building. Commissioner
Hayward testified that he saw Rofrano
in Albany somewhere between January
2 and January 5. He was unable to
fix the date exactly.
During the five hours Rofrano was
on the stand yesterday submitting him.

Brothers for putting stool pigeons" on

Rofrano showed his spleen when.
after being questioned regarding the
practice of having his brothers fill out
blank checks which he had previously
signed, he was asked by Mr.. Brothers
for look at his check book. He made
another speech and charged Mr..
Brothers with taking advantage of him
en- previous occasions. Without heed
ing the remonstrances of Justice
Weeks, Rofrano said ne would turn over
ell his papers to the jury, but not one
of them to the assistant prosecutor.
Commis Hayward was not
cross examined by Mr.. Brothers, but
President Connolly was subjected to
a rigid grilling. in which Mr.. Brothers
tried TO show the witness had no &C
tual means of setting accurately the
date on which he met Rofrano IN Al
bany.
Later Mr.. Brothers produced list OF
telephone calls going out of Rofrano's
private Office, in which appeared one
marked "Mr. Rofrano, personal" on
January 4, at 12:7 .. m. TO Hunters

in the Street Cleaning Department from
connecting him with calls by Cornell
was attacked by the prosecution IN
the cross-examination of Miss Mary
Dunn. an operator who testified for
Rofrano.
