NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1912 : =S ' DECLINED TO SELL OUT TO THE DEFENSE. “NEWSBOY KING” TELLS HIS STORY Ex-Policeman’s Statement at Ettor Trial Creates Sensation. Becker Trial Takes Strange Turn—Sullivan’s Testimony,| salem, Mass, Oct. 22—Michael A. Moore, a former police officer of Law- rence, under fire of attorneys for the defense late today in the trial of Et- tor, Giovannitti and Caruso for the murder of Anna Lopizzo during the textile strike, created a stir by de- claring his past record was being ex- posed because he refused to sell out to the defense. Moore had been called by the dis- trict attorney and gave testimony that Ettor in Lawrence, Jan. 29, shouted to Barred Several Days Ago, Ordered in by Court Yesterday Against Protest of Defendant’s Counsel—Examination Conducted by District Attorney—Evidence all In. ¢ ing to frame up Becker,” Sullivan de- clared. *“‘He asked me to corroborate his testimony.

He says if you do, it will be all right; if you don't, yowll be indicted. - Says Webber Urged Him to Lie. “Webber said to me: ‘The only way you can get out is for you to do as Mr. Whitman says and swear that you saw Becker with Jack Rose and me a few hours after the murder. If you do that you'll get out, like we will, after the trial. If you dom't, you'll be in- dicted and spend six months in jail’ One day Webber said to me: ‘Jack, for God's sake, say you saw Becker, as we will testify. If you want money, T'll give you $1,000 now and when you get out we'll go into the hotel busi- ness. - I'll put in $25,000 and we will divide the profits even. All you have to do is to He for us. If you le, it's ?;}1,'.“"’" it you don’t, you'll go to To all these importunities Sullivan said he replied that he would spend six years in Jail, if necessary, rather than swear a man’s life away. Declares Rase Said Becker Was Inne- timony flom Becker's star witness, “Jack Sulllvan,” for whose admission Becker’s lawyers had fought long and tgrd when Sullivan testifled before. Amid the vigorous protests of Beck. er's counsel, who had protested as vis- orously when Sullivan’s testimony was barred several days ago, the “king of the newsboys” unloosed his tongue. He told his story belligerently and excit- edly, in his own way, just as he had asked permission to tell it when he was on the stand before. Sullivan’s testimony, guided by the unwilling hand of the district attorney, was in direct support of the contention of ths defense that Rose, Webber, Vallon and Schepps, informers and state’s wit- nesses, had conspired in jail to send Becker to the electric chair by their own perjury. Mcintyre Refused to Question Him. John ¥. Mcintyre, Becker’s chief of counsel, had declared his case rested when Sullivan was Tecalled. He sall frankly that he did not want Sulliven’'s testimony. The court ordered the case reopened and instructed an attendant to bring Sullivan over from his cell in the Tombs and put him on the witness stand. Mr, McIntyre refused to ques- cent. tion him and Justice Goff, leaning over Lo B i the bench, {nstructed the district attor- ouis Plitt, brother of Becker's so- ney to ask the witness, “as a part of | called press agent, was another wit- the case of the defense,” certain ques- | Nes8 for the defense who was forced tions which the court had excluded |OR the stand by Justice Goff after Mr. during Sulllvah’s previous testimony.

P. 8. Mahoney, the counsel for the defense, immediately produced records alleging that Moore when an employe of one of the Lawrence mills had been convicted of theft and also had been convicted of assault and sen- tenced to a reformatory. Moore under cross examination admitted the truth of the records. Later in the day the defense learned that Moore had been fined for an as- sault two weeks ago upon a man named Patrick Henry at Beverly, Mass., and fined $10 and costs, whicn he paid. At the request of Aftorney Peters, counsel for Giovannitti, Moore was recalled to the stand and con- fronted with the record in the Beverly case. 7 “Yes, that's true,” said Officer Moore, when the record was read to him. Then he shouted: “These records are being brought in here because I re- tuug to sell the government to the defense.” “What!” gxclaimed Attorney Peteis. me before?” “No,” Moore replied, adding that he Had_ séen another attorney who acted in the interest of the defendants. Moore was about to :‘fenk further when Judge Quinn ordered him to stop and directed that his statements be stricken from the record. District Attorney Attwill that Moore's declarations would be in- vestigated further. FINE OF $50 IMPOSED ON SOCIALIST MINISTER Making Public Address. Little Falls, N.

At the continuatioof the examina- tion of Mayor Lunn before Recorder Collins today, the district attorney charged that the Schenectady mayor had committed a crime and should be held for the action of the grand jury. Counsel for Mayor Lunn made a series of motions for the dismissal of the charge and when Recerder Collins ruled against them they asked for a short recess for the purpose of confer- ring. After the conference they re- llnilndlifimrjters:‘l:u. ‘Recorder _ Collins ottgen senh;nced H Robert A, Bakeman chenectady, a .“" w‘ Bros.

The law says that there can be no convic- tion on the testimony of accomplices. To have put Becker on the stand would have to be ap ac- knowledgment that the testimony of Hallen and Luban amounted to credi- ble testimony: whereas it appeared before the jury that Hallen had served 12 years in state’s prison and Luban was brought in shackies from the New Jersey state prison into the court- room.” Becker said: “I wanted to go on the stand, but my counsel advised against it. 1'do not believe any jury would convict me on the testimony offered in this case.” Bakeman refused to pay the fine and was taken to the county jail at Her- kimer tonight. An attempt will be made tomorrow to stay the sentence and have the prisoner paroled until appeal 18 decided. UMBRELLA A8 EVIDENCE IN DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY. Bore the Initials of Edward Clark Who Has Pleaded Guilty. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 22—A. batter- er, ivory handled umbrella that had survived an explosion was produced a8 a government exhibit at the “dy- namite conspiracy” trial today. Thomas Berger, Pittsburgh, Pa., foreman of a bridge construction com- pany identified it as having been found after an explosion on a railroad bridge at Dayton, Ohio, May 3, 1908. “l notice you are examining the handle. What attracts your attention to it?” asked U. 8. District Attorney Charles W. Miller. “I see on the handle engraved the initials ‘B. C.’” replied the witness. It was the umbrella which the govern- ment charges Edward Clark, Cincin- nati, carried when he atempted to blow up the bridge and which he held over the dynamite to protect it from a heavy rain. The government asserts Clark after lighting the fuse forgot the umbrella. Clark at the opening of the present trial pleaded guilty. The indictment alleges that Herbert 8. Hockin, acting secretary of the Inter- national Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, assisted Clark in preparing for the Dayton ex- plosion.
