bling Place.
New York. Oct. 14.—"Bald Jack
Rose." gambler, who turned informer
li, the case of Lieutenant Charles
Becker, charged with the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, testified at the
trial of Becker today that the police
officer negotiated for the murder of
Rosenthal through him. He said he
acted as the go-between tor Rosenthal
and Becker and that after they quar
relled he acted as Becker's agent In
hiring the gunmen who murdered
Rosenthal.
Rose testified that Becker told him
"I want him (Rosenthal) murdered,
shot, croaked, dynamited or anything.
"Bald Jack" Rose, chief informer
against Becker, was called to the wit
ness stand at 10 o’clock. It was ex
pected his testimony and cross exam
ination might occupy the entire day.
Says He’ll Make Good.
Before going on the stand Rose said:
"I'm going to make good. I know
what I’m going up against, but I’m go
ing through with It. I don’t care what
happens I have only one regret In go
ing on the stand; I have met and
known some decent people, and now
through me, they will be besmirched.
I wish that nobody but myself need be
dragged into this, but I suppose it is
a part of the penalty. I shall tell every
detail of the most awful plot that was
ever hatched."
The Jurors are held in the strictest
seclusion at their hotel when not In
court. Even telephone connection in
their rooms was cut off.
Call Wife Next.
If Rose’s testimony is concluded to
day Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal, wife of the
murdered gambler, will be called to
the stand. She will be asked to tell
what she knows of the relations of her
husband with Becker and with the men
alleged to have been Becker’s tools in
the murder plot.
There was a craning of. necks in the
crowded court room as the bald head
ed gambler began to testify. Rose said
lie had known Rosenthal for 20 years
and Becker for several years. The wit
ness did not look at Becker as- he gave
his testimony, but the former police
officer watched Rose Intently. Rose
spoke in deliberate tones.
"Did you ever have business rela
tions with Becker?” he was asked.
"Yes, I collected money for him.”
"I object as incompetent," shouted
John F. McIntyre, counsel for the de
fense.
“Overruled,’’ ordered the court.
Becker Reassured Wife.
Rose then told of meeting Rosenthal
and Becker in the Elks' club at a New
Year's celebration. Mrs. Rosenthal was
present. Becker said to Mrs. Rosen
thal. according to the witness, "Now,
don't worry. Herman and I have a
thorough understanding. He is my
friend and I am his friend, and his
troubles are all over.”
Rose said he met Booker again at
his house and at the Union Square
hotel, when Becker told him the de
tails of the alleged partnership in a
gambling house between Becker and
Rosenthal.
"Becker.” Rose testified, “said Her
man had made a proposition to him
that he go into partnership with Ros
enthal in running a gambling house
and had asked him to invest *5,000 in
it. I said no one ever made any money
in the gambling business with Rosen
thal.”
Becker, however, continued the wit
ness. did not agree and made a propo
sition to allow Rose to take a 25 per
cent share in the business of the pro
posed establishment. Becker took a
*2,500 chattel mortgage on Rosenthal’s
property and arranged for a "dummy”
to hold the mortgage.
Inquired About Gamblinq.
“Becker asked me,” the witness went
on, "if I would take charge and I said
I would."
The witness told of conversations
with Becker in which the police lieu
tenant inquired what were the profits
of the gambling house. "I reported to
him on one occasion that the house had
made several thousand dollars,” said
Rose. “He told me to tell Rosenthal
to send him *500. I went to see Rosen
thal and Rosenthal said he wouldn't
give it because he thought he had not
had a square deal on the mortgage.
“I told Becker. Becker said that just
as soon as his attention was called to
that place he would raid it. He told
me to tell that to Rosenthal. I told
Rosenthal. Rosenthal said:
“ 'You tell Becker he can't raid this
place unless he gets the proper evi
dence, and he can’t get it because I
know all his men and they can't get in
here.'
Rosenthal Warned Him.
" ‘So that's his attitude, is it?’ Becker
said when I told him this. ‘AH right,
I'll raid it. Tell Rosenthal.’
“Rosenthal sent back word by me to
Becker: ‘Tell that fellow he'd better
not start anything with me.’
"The next day Becker told me that
t'ommissloner Waldo had called his
attention to the place and he (Becker)
would have to raid It. I told Rosen
thal. and Rosenthal said, ‘Tell Becker
he can’t bluff me; I don’t believe Com
missioner Waldo ever called his atten
tion to my place.
"Severai days later Becker told me
that complaints were pouring in and he
would have to raid the plijpe. He told
me to see Rosenthal and tell him to do
him a favor.
" ‘Tell him he has to stand for a
raid,’ Becker said. ‘I did him a favor
and he must do one for me. I’ll raid
the place and it will relieve me from
worry, and in a few days he can re
open his place and everything will be
all right.'
"Rosenthal replied to me: ‘You tell
Becker he must think I’m crazy to
stand for such a thing. He might as
well take a torch and burn it up. It’s
THREE MEN PERISH IN
WATER FRONT BLAZE
New York. Oct. 14.—A spectacular
fire, caused by an explosion on an oil
laden steamer last night threatened the
water front of Bayonne, N. J.. destroy
ing several piers and a number of
barges.
Burning oil was scattered in all di
rections when the explosion occurred,
and in a short time a large area of
shipping was aflame.
The property loss was estimated at
my place and I'm going to handl* It
the way [ think beat.' ”
“I saw Becker and told him what
Rosenthal said: 'Well, I'm going to
raid the place, and raid it in a few
days—within a weak.'
“I told Becker it would only cause
trouble and he said: 'Don't you worry
about that; it won’t cause me any
trouble; it will only cause trouble for
Rosenthal.’
" 'Do you want me to tell that to
Rosenthal?' I asked.
“ 'No,’ he answered. 'I'm through
with that fellow.'
"A few days later Becker told me
that he was going to get two men from
the strong-arm squad to swear to the
evidence. " 'That's awfully dangerous,
Charlie,’ I said.
“ 'No,' he said, ‘It's all right; I'll let
Rosenthal satisfy the mortgage first.
I’ll raid his place if It’s the last thing
I do.’
'All right,’ I said. ‘I’m not going to
be in the house when its raided.’ ”
House Was Raided.
The house was raided.
''Later.” Rose testified, "Rosenthal
complained to Becker that policemen
were still stationed in front of his
place and said he was sore because his
wife's nephew was taken in the raid.’ ”
Rose said his next meeting with
Becker was at his own house.
“He told me,’’ Rose said, "that Ros
enthal had been calling him up every
day asking a meeting to find out what
he was going to do about those In
dictments against the men arrested in
Rosenthale's place. Becker said he had
put Rosenthal off. Some time after,
Becker said, Rosenthal had begun to
talk around street corners that he was
in partnership w-lth Becker and was go
ing to show him up.
“Becker a few days later told me
of having seen Commissioner Waldo
and that the commissioner had heard
of Rosenthal's charges and had not
believed them.”
"Becker gave me *100 to take to
Zellg. ‘I’ll meet you tomorrow morn
ing to see what Zeliz says,’ he told me.
'Tell him that there will be no danger
to his gang.’ ,,
"I Baw Zellg and gave him the *100
and told him that it came from Beck
er," Rose continued. "Zellg said: 'I
don’t want that *100. I want to get
out of here. You and Becker got me
into this trouble.’ I told him that the
*100 was just a little favor from Beck
er and that he was not to worry.
"Zeliz said: ’If you want to do me
a favor get me out. I won’t do any
thing for Becker unless he does get me
out.’
"I saw Becker the next day and told
him that Zelig wanted to get out and
would not do anything unless he did
get out.”
Rose said he went to the home of the
four gunmen—“Gyp the Blood” and his
pals—and explained the Rosenthal
Beeker situation. He told them, he
said, that Becker would “frame them
up” if they did not “croak Rosenthal.”
“They agreed to do it that night.”
Rose said they had delayed “doing
the job” and Becker had insisted that
they hurry it along. He told of a plan
to kill the gambler at the Garden res
taurant. It failed, he said, because of
a suspicion that private detectives
were present and guarding Rosenthal.
“Becker got hot at this," Rose said.
“He kept asking ‘w-hy all this stalling?
Why don’t you get him?’ One day he
said: 'Now, this is going on too long.
Kither you are stalling them, or those
fellows are stalling you.’ I told Beck
er that a detective scared the boys off
at the Garden restaurant,” Rose con
tinued.
“‘Detective?’ he said. 'Wake up and
shoot Rosenthal in front of a police
man. Get through with it; get it
over.’ ”

LOSE BOYCOTT CASE
Famous Suit Decided Last
Night In Favor of Danbury
Manufacturing Firm.
Hartford Conn., Oct. 14.—A verdict
for $80,000 and costs was awarded for
the plaintiff, D. E. Loewe & Co., of
Danbury, against members of the
United Hatters’ Union of North Ameri
ca In the United States court last night.
Under the Sherman anti-trust law this
award will be trebled, making the total
amount $240,000.
It took the jury four hours to reach
the decision, most of the time being
spent in examining the expense account
of the plaintiffs. The verdict is for the
full amount sought.
This already famous case has been
before the court for nine years, during
which time it has gone to the United
States court of appeals twice and once
to the United States supreme court.
In the first jury trial three years ago
the award for the plaintiff was $222,000.
Will Take Appeal.
Steps were begun by the defense to
appeal the case again.
Suit was first brought in 1902 against
240 members of the United Hatters of
North America, residing in this state,
and was based upon the allegation
that a conspiracy existed to injure the
business of the plaintiff, who is a soft
hat manufacturer, because he de
clined to unionize his factory.
During both trials evidence was
presented aiming to show that certain
labor unions had instituted a boy
cott against the plaintiff’s business.
Soon after the suit was brought the
American Federation of Labor decided
to stand behind the defendants and to
reimburse them against any loss. The
Anti-Boycott Society of America was
behind the plaintiffs, so the litigation
developed into a legal battle between
these two bodies.
During the recent trial here Samuel
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor; John Mitchell, Frank Mor
rison and other labor leaders were
called as witnesses by the defense.
They all testified that no boycott had
been declared against the plaintiff’s
products.

bandits bungled the holdup of a north
bound Kansas City Southern passen
ger train between Hatfield and Mena,
Ark., early today. One was wounded
and captured and the other three out
laws escaped after a battle with Ex
press Messenger Merrill Burgett. of
Kansas City, Mo., In which Burgett
exhausted his ammunition and was
badly beaten.
Burgett shot the robber who was
discovered an hour later after his com
panions had deserted him. The rob
ber is being conveyed to Mena. Fifty
or more armed men are pursuing the
bandits. Burgett is In a hospital at
Mena. He will recover.
Messenger Hid Valuables.
The train, known as No. 2, left Hat
field. Ark., about 2 o’clock. While
Burgett was working in his car, ho
saw the bandits clamoring at the side
door. They smashed the glass with
their revolver butts. Burgett sprang
to his most valuable packages and hid
despite the hail of bullets which the
bandits poured into the car. Once, the
messenger says, a bullet pierced his
shirt.
The packages hidden. Burgett
tprned his attention to the invaders,
who had abandoned for a time their
firing into the car. As Burgett fired
at them the robbers reached through
the smashed windows and loosened the
catch which held the door from the
Inside. Then they opened the door and
sprang Into the car one by one, firing
on Burgett as they advanced. The
messenger leaped behind baggage and
met the robbers' fire shot for shot.
The train had attained a speed of
about 30 miles an hour and apparently
none of the train or locomotive crew
know that a holdup was being attempt
ed. A last shot fired by Burgett before
the robbers gained the inside of the
car. wounded one of them.
Burgett Fights Bravely.
The fight continued until Burgett’s
cartridges were gone. Then the rob
bers closed in on him and by force of
numbers overpowdered him, although
he gave battle to three, wielding the
butt of his short shotgun effectively
until conquered. The bandits clubbed
the messenger repeatedly, asking:
“Where's that package of money?"
Bleeding, Burgett crouched In a
corner of the car while the robbors
brutally beat and kicked him, but the
messenger did not reveal the hiding
place.
The bandits searched the car careful
ly, but Burgett had been too wily for
them. So they applied the air brakes
and made another careful search.
Robbers Flee.
By this time the train conductor
feared something was amiss and he be
gan an investigation. As the conduc
tor came forward with his lantern the
robbers took fright and fled.
In answer to the conductor’s repeated
knocklngs on the door of the express
car Burgett struggled to his feet, un
locked the door then fainted. He was
revived long enough to give a brief
sketch of the attempted holdup, and
the train was rushed Into Mena.
A posse was organized to pursue the
robbers Into the hills near Hatsfield
and Potter, Ark. Near Potter the
wounded robber was found.
So far as is known, the outlaws took
nothing.
The wounded robber, who Is un
identified, received a charge of shot
In the left breast near the heart. Prob
