BECKER TRIAL BEGINS
First Man Called Appears to
Fear Consequence of Tell
ing Truth.
New York, Oct 11. Thomas Ryan,
a chauffeur, who was an eye-witness
of the murder of Gambler Rosenthal
was the first witness today at the
trial of Police Lieutenant Becker. Ac
cording to Ryan's story, only one man
fired the shot that killed Rosenthal.
Four gunmen were brought into
court and the witness was asked to
pick out the man who fired the shot.
"Who did you refer to of these four
men? asked Assistant District At
torney Moss.
Ryan appeared frightened. "I did
n't refer to anybody," he declared.
"Didn't you tell the assistant dls
trict attorney in prison yesterday
when you were asked to Identify the
man, you were afraid to put your hand
on him," pursued Moss.
"I am afraid because I might put my
hand on the wrong man," answered
Ryan in a weak voice.
LEWIS IDENTIFIED.
Ryan could not swear any one of the
men fired the shot. He was allowed
to go. Giovanni Stanich, an Austrian,
who witnessed the shooting, with hesl
