the administration seized on the muir
der as their most potent ammunition.
Then the case was called for trial in
October, a month before election. AS
the killing Of Rothstein had already
been discussed politically, General Ses-
Sions Judge Mott, an upright and able
turist, deemed 1t unSeernly to begin the
trial during the campaign. and put the
case over until after election.
Exceptional Jury Selected.
A special panel of veniremen-men CT
substantial position IN the business
world, brokers, bankers. q few residents
Of fashionable Park avenue-was called,
and from them an exceptional jury was
selected. That jury has listened to gilt
tering testimony.
First came DR.. Charles Norris, the
chief medical examiner of New York,
to establish the fact and cause Of death.
That legal necessity cut Of the way, the
prosecution presented its galaxy of gam
blers. And what q crowd they are !!
Take Martin (Red) Bowe, d man IN
the fortieS, dressed with great care and
no flashiness. His full face has the
doughty appearance Of flesh that seldom
sees the sun. His eyelids droop and he
speaks with q drawl In which there is
no emphasis.
From Bowe the prosecution drew in
formation about the card game at which
Rothstein dropped $2ls 900 IN paper.
The witness said "A. R."-thoSe once
were most potent initials on Broadway,
whether placed on an Q u or . Grim
ir1als request for bail Tnoney-pocketed
all the cash in pots he won and bet only
with promises to pay.
This vas In accordance with the
States explanation Of the nnotive-that
Rothstein, losing paper at the game,
won good money and was killed when
he wouldn't redeem his "i1aarkers."
Another participant In the $219, 900
game was Alvin c. Thomas, called TT

pair OF gimlet eyes and q boyish face,

memory. There were many details OF
that big game which had escaped him.
It was impossible, he said, for D man
in his business to remember everything.

fellow who thought it made any dif-
ference where measley $4,000 bets
went.
sammie and Meyer Boston, both of
whom were present at the $219 900
game, also have told their stories. From
all these witnesses the State has estab-
lished that Rothstein peddled paper and
pocketed cash. But the defense has
balanced this.
From every one Of the men who
matched money with RethsteIn and Nc
Manus Mr.. Murray has obtained In
dorsements Of the high sportsmanship
Of the man on trial for murder. In
that big card game McManus lost
