It was the Intentlon of the .iefence to

he and not Ueutenant Becker. delOgated
Stelnert and Whlte, two of B-cker'a
former "strong arm" S'l'iad men. to arrest
"Big Jack" Zellg for cnrrylng concealed
weapons. Stelnert and Whlte are now
under Indlctment for perjury ln the al

Rose testlfied that Becker englneered th*
"frame-up" on the gang leader. No teatl
rnony along that llne waa admltted by
JuBtlce Ooff, and Inspector Hughes was
quickly excuBed.
Little Progress for Defenee.

Whlle waltlng for the next wltness to

asked Asslstant District Attcrney Mo.-s to
take the wltness stand. He had the BB*

Hugo Newgebauer and Thornas Gannon,

were brought over from the prlson to
deny the aSBertlon which the OOnvlCt
Hallon credlted to Becker ln the Tombs.
when the latter WM BUnpOBOd to ba talk?

the world would ever convlct hlm of
Kosenthal'B murder on the testlmony of
a lot of crooks, and that the publlc would
be glving him a penslon for kllling
Rosenthal after the excltement had blown
over. The wltnesses testlfied they were
present at the time the conversatlon oc?
curred between Becker and Whlte, and
Becker never said any such thlng.
Tangled Up in Cross- Examination.
Mr. Whltman tangled up the two prlson
ers from tho Tombs badly on cross-ax
amination. Their descrlptlons of Whlte
and the explanatlons of how they hap
pened to be around when the alleged con
versation occurred were BOt clear. Tiie
