shooting.
The chauffeur further stated in his
affidavit that since he had been in th<
Tombs "Jaek" Sullivan had beggei
him to testify that Vallon and Schepps
were in the car and ordered him to
drlve away from the Metropole with
a plstol at his head after Rosenthal
had been shot.
The answer* to questlons suggestinE*
these statements were not allowed hy
the court when Shapiro testllied, on
tho ground that lt was not propor re
biiltnl testimony.
Shapiro cocroborated the story of,
"Hald Ja< k ' Rose ln regard to the trlp
uptown on the night of the murder:
to th" home of "Dago" Frank Clroflcl.
wlth Rose, Vallon and Soh*pps as hla
passengern. when thoy wore roun.lini*

atood the chauffeur could identifv the
four gunmen, he was not aaked to do
BO in o<>tirt. Fear for his llfe has led
him to deny persistently thelr identity.
it is said. lh- Bttpulkted that ho
should not be confronted by the gun?
men in court when he testltted.
No Immunity Offered.
No immunity was offered lo Shapiro
if bs testllied, the DlBtrlct Attornev
said. Mr. I.? vy deelared hlfl cUBBt had
teatlfled without hope of reward. He
said he had not gone over any of the
teettanouy in the case wlth Bhspfro, but
aimply urged him to tell the truth
aftor he had expressod a wi'lingness
to testify for the stuie.
Shapiro made onr- reOjueat nf tho Dis?
trict Attorney whlch was graated. He
asked that he bs trnnsferred from the
Tombs to tho West Blde court prison
i he had testlfied. That hns been
the home of Rose. Weber, Vallon and
Schepps Rince thoy turned witnesses
for the stato. Thr- chauffeur told tho
District Attorney he feared tho close
proximity of the gunmen in the Tombs.
lt ls understood the cgSS agalnst
Shapiro on the murder lndictment ls
t.ot eonsidered a strong one In the Dis?
trict Attomey's offlce. It ls thought
probable that he will never be brought
to trial.
Justlce Ooff had "Jnck" 8uUlvan and
Louis Plitt, both witnesses for the de?
fence, recalled yesterday to answer eer?
taln questlons which had bSSfl excluded
by the court when they testifled. The
purpose of recalling these two wlt?
nesses was to obvlate any possible
grounds for an appeal on the strength
of the questions which had been prevl
ously excluded, it was said. There ap
pearerl to be some reason for the eon
I tention of "implled blas" by the de?
fence in the rulings of the court ln ex
cluding eertaln questlons.
When the defence dccllned the op
portunity to examlne Sullivan further
Justlce Ooff lnstructed Assistant Dis?
trict Attorney Mos*. not as a prosecu
tor, but as an offlcer of the court, to
put the questlon* to the witness.
Dnder a strict admonltlon by the court
that he should conduct himself in an
orderly manner Sullivan dld not dia
play the exploslve attltude which char
jacterlzed his first appearance on the
' witness stand.
The defenco called several witnesses
< for Becker during the morning session
[nnd then suddenly rested th.-ir case.

rebuttal by the prosecutlon. and Cor

"BECKER HAS COPS FIXED,"
SHAPIRO SWEARS MAN SAID
William Shapiro. being duly sworn, deposes and says:
"On the evening of July 15. 1912, I was the chauffeur on
automobile No. 41,313. I drove the said car up to 145th street.
The passengers whom I took up to 145th street were 'Jaek' Rose,
Harry Vallon and 'Sam' Schepps. Another man was taken on at
about 145th street, and we returned to 42d street and Sixth avenue,
where my passengers alighted. Soon afterward four men. only
one of whom I had brought down in the car, entered my car, and
ordered me to go over into 43d street. I went up Sixth avenue to
43d street, across 43d street to Broadway, in order to turn the car
around. As we reaehed Broadway I heard one of my passengers
say:
" 'Becker has the cops fixed. It is a clean getaway. Every
thing is all right. Becker has told them.' I turned around at
Broadway and 43d street, as they told me, and stopped in front of
George Cohan's Theatre, my car facing the east. They got out
of the car. I remained in my seat, stood there about fifteen
minutes, when I heard a shot. I looked around. I saw the four
men whom I had brought over in my car from 42d street running
from in front of the Metropole Hotel toward my car. One had a
pistol in his hand. When these four men got into the car I began
to hesitate and raced my engine, but made no speed, in the hope
that some one would overtake us. My car moved very slowly.
Then I was told by one of them, 'You boob, hurry along!' and
with that the barrcl of a pistol grazed my forehead, causing it to
bleed. Then I started al6ng, and I was cut off by a trolley car
on Sixth avenue. I slowed down to a mile an hour until the car
passed me. Then one of them said, 'Don't threaten him so much.
Nobody will come after us.' While I was going up Lexington
avenue I heard one of my passengers say to the other, 'We knew
we had a clear getaway. Nothing could happen.'
"Since I have been in the Tombs prison 'Jaek' Sullivan has
urged and begged me to say that Harry Valion and 'Sam' Schepps
ordered me away from the Metropole with a pistol in Harry
Vallon's hand to my head. Neither 'Sam' Schepps or Harry Vallon
were in my car, nor did I see them on the night after I left 42d
street and Sixth avenue to go to 43d street.

ShdDlro was exciiBed, and Louia I'litt,
a former witness for the defence, was
called. I'lltt went over tne story in sub
atanca whlcb ha toid on the wttaaaa stand
when he flrst testlfled. He related the
conversations wlth Hosc, ln whlcU be
said Rose toid him B.-eker had nothing
to do with the killlng of Rosenthal and
thev were golng to liame It up on Br-cker.
lerael L Keinherg, the coroner before
whom the prisonei-s ln the Rosenthal case
a*er* flrst arralgned. was the only wit?
ness called ln n-huttal by the defence.
ln answer to Mr. Mi Intyre's ijuestions,
the coroner said he was near the Metro
pole on th.- night of the shootlng and
went to the West 17th street police sta?
tlon soon afterwatd. He went to the
Btatlon when the body of Rosenthal was
removed there, he said.
The witness was then asked If he saw
Becker at the statlon about .1.15 or 3:2?l
a.m. The questlon was ruled out and
Coroner Felnherg waa excuaed. That
ended the taklng of testlmony at the trlal.
Mr. Mclntyre toid the court he had been
busy preparlrig testlmony and had not
had a ehano* i4> prepare for summlng up
of hls caae. Hc said he was all worn out,
and could not go on.
VI ask your honor to give me untll to
morrow morning so I can prest-nt the
facts ln a chronological order," he said.
"1 throw myself on the mercy of the
court. I must say. ln all slncerlty. that
I am physl-ally and mentally unable to
sum uP now."
Justlce f'off wanted to know how long
lt would take counsel for the d'-fence to
sum up, and Mr. Mclntyre de. lared b*
expected to occupy at l<-ant BV* hours.
AeaUrtant Dlstrlct Attorney Moas saiil it
would take hlm about three hours, but It
depended somewhat on the argument r,f
Mi Mclntyre. Justlce Ooff asked the dr
fenr-o to make whatSVer motions they had
ln mind, and Mr. Stryker mov.-d for tho
dlsintssal r,f the lndictment on th<> ground
that th.' prlndpal wttneaaes for the state
had all beefl accompllces and thelr testl?
mony had not been legaiiy ?orroboratod.
The motlon was denied.
Justlce Qoff flnally ruled that he would
gtVo each slde four hours in whtch to
sum up, beglnnlng at 10 a. m. to-day. He
would charge the Jury ami give thi' caso
to them th>- foUowtng morning, he said
Ask-d after court why he dld not put
Becker on the witness stand Mr. Ifcln
tvre said:
"! dldn't put hlm on the stand becau-e
the people dlil not make out a case. Tb, f
only preaentsd tha testimony of aecom
plleea aud two convlcta.''
