THREE OF GUNMEN GIVE TESTIMONY All Tell Same Story to Effect That Vallon, Webber and a Stranger Did the Shooting and That They Were Lured to the Scene by Jack Rose—Denied All Rose’s Accusations —“Dago Frank” to Go on Stand Today. New York, Nov, 14—In the pictur- @sque language of the Bowery, three of the gunmen on trial as the actual murderers of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, gave on the witness stand today the verston of the slaying which they hope will win them acquittal. The three were “Gyp the Blood,” de- Mberate of speech, swarthy and pasty of complexion; “Whitey” Lewis, blond haired dnd amatic in manner, am‘i “Lefty Louie,” even darker than “Gyp,” gullen and stoMd. All were nattily dressed. “Dago Frank” Yet to Testify. In stories which fitted together per- fectly and in some parts proved almost literal repetition, the three gunmen ac- cused Bridgie Webber, Harry Vallon and a mysterious “strange man” of firing the shots that killed the gam- bler; themselves they pictured as in- 1 lured there by the fourth gunman, they all testifled, was not on the scene at all. Frank will be given a chance to tell his story tomorrow. Nothing Said About “Croaking” Rosen- E thal. “Bald Jack” Rose, graft collector for Ldeut. Charles Becker, since convicted of procuring the murder, the gunmen described him as a man who feared the vengeance of the leader of their gang, “Big Jack” Zelig, recently shot to death. ) to them that he had nothing to do with having Zelig “framed up” on the charge of carrying concealed weapons by two of Becker's men, they declared. That was Rose’s sole purpose in seek- ing them out, they declared, and never a word did Rose say to them about having Herman Rosenthal “croaked.” It was to furnish them proof of his own innocence in the Zelig matter that Rose was anxious to prove | Rose got them to come down to Bridgie Webber's poker rooms on the night of the murder, and it was in re- sponse to a message from Rose, deliv- ered by the mysterious stranger, that they left the poker rooms and went to the Hotel Metropole, where Rosenthal met- his fate. Whether Rose lured them there to throw suspicion upon them they did not know, but the mes- sage was that “some cops” would be there who would prove that Jack Rose had nothing to do with “framing” Jack Zelig. Stranger Unknown to Them. Who the mysterious stranger was they did not kmow. They all agreed that he was about “five feet nine inch- es in height, weight 160 or 170 pounds, had a black mustache and wore a slouch hat” It was the stranger who led them on foot, not in a gray auto- mobile, to the Metropole, they said. There on the street they saw Jack Rose, Sam Schepps, Bridgie and Harry Vallon. The gray automobile which has been called the “murder car” was there, too. The “strange man” joined Webber and Vallon, and, as “Whitey” Lewis described the shooting: Stranger Fired First Shot. “All of a sudden there was a flash. The stranger shot first. Then we see mor flashes—Harry Vallon and Bridgie Webber was shooting, and we Dbeat it for the subway.” Didn't Know Who Victim Was. They didu’'t even know that it was Rosenthal who had been shot until the next day, they said. All three denied every incriminating statement made by Jack Rese involving them in the mur- der, “Lefty Louie” swearing that Rose had never paid him $1,000 to divide with other gunmen to enable them to get out of town, as Rose had testified. WORKERS ARE WORSE OFF UNDER BRITISH FLAG. Assertions of Labor Men from Eng- land, Scotland and Canada. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 14—At the closé of a day of addresses by frater- nal delegates from Great Britain and Canada and representatives of relig- jous and philanthropic associations or- ganized in the interests of labor, Pres- jdent Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- csn Federation of Labor defended the non-political policy of the federation and declared that the only thing that will end the struggle between capital and laber is recognition of the right of the tollers to the best and all that is produced. “1 may call attention to the fact that while we do not pin our faith to the pledges made by any political party, the American methods of our organ- 1zed labor movement have accomplis ed results,” said Mr. Gompers. “I venture to make the statement that néver were there so many people who voited for propositions, declarations, demands and promises for social jus- tice as the 14,000,000 people who voted in this country two weeks ago.” Parlfer in the day addresses had been made by J. A. Seddon of England and Robert Smillie of Scotland, repre- senting the British trades and labor congress, and J. W. Burns, represent- ing the Canadian trades and labor con- gress. Conditions of workers under the British flag were described as worse than those in the United States. All three delegates declared that with slight differences conditions of labor- ers the world over were the same, TAFT GIVES RECEPTION TO DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY A Brilliant Series of Social Functions at Washington. ‘Washington, Nov. 14—A brilliant series of social functions, centering about a reception by President Taft, | marked today’s sessions of the conven- tion of the United Daughters of the | Confederacy.

Trouble With Sm;;:ry MacVeagh Supposed to Be the Cause. ‘WasHington, Nov. 14—Announce- ment of the resignation of Lee Mc- Clung treasurer of the United States was made by President Taft today. Mr. McClung tendered his resignation to the president at a con- ference in the executive mansion early today, and its acceptance was later announced by the president from the executive offices with the explanation that Mr. McClung resigned voluntari- ly. It is believed that Carmi Thomp- son, now private secretary to the president, will ‘succeed him. Mr. McClung’s resignation becomes effective as soon as his successor is appointed. The charige is expected to tal early next week. “I had very pleasant interviews with both President Taft and Secretary MacVeagh today,” said Mr. McClung tonight. That was the only statement he would authorize in connection with his retirement. His formal letter of resignation to the president assigned no reason for his action. In the view of official Washington, that omission lent color to the belief that the secre- tary and treasurer were out of sympa- thy in their official relations. As soon as the semate confirms the place | appointment of Mr, McClung’'s succes- sor the new treasurer's name will ap- pear upon all the currency of the United States. The change will en- tail considerable expense. It probably will cost $10,000 to correct plates and a large sum for counting the money and securities.
