'BECKER WILL BE WITNESS BEFORE THE GRAND JURY “John the Barber” Now Swears Webber Ran From Scene—Others Refute “Bridgie’s” Alibi. NINE DAYS have elapsed since Herman Rosenthal was assassinated before an assemblage of half a hundred persons in front of the Metropole Hotel and the men who committed the crime are STILL AT LARGE. The full story of the tour of the gray. automobile in which the as |sassins of Herman Rosenthal rode to the scene of the crime and made their escape was told to District-Attorney Whitman this afternoon by William Shapiro, the chauffeur who drove the car. The testimony of Shapiro was given for the purpose of aiding the prosecution and is the first voluntary evidence in that direction the authorities have secured. Aaron J. Levy, counsel for Shapiro and Louis Libby, Shapiro's partner in the ownership of the car, was present during the confession, | Before going to the Criminal Courts Building Mr. ‘Levy said at his office: “Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty was told by my client ‘that Jack Rose was in the gray touring car, soon after they were arrested Jand before I was called into the case. When they told me about Rose, FCommunicated the information to the District- Attorney. Dougherty made no attempt to get Rose until the District-Attorney was in possession of the fact that Rose had engaged the car and had ridder uptown In It.” | Mr. Levy offered Shapiro’s testimony to the District-Attorney un- der conditions guaranteeing Shapiro from prosecution a week ago, The District-Attorney held off from the proposition until to-day because he was not satistied with the line of testimony displayed by Levy. It is understood that Shapiro, in order to make good the plan by which he was allowed to confess, came forward with information of ime portance supplementing that which he had already given to the aue thorities. At any rate Shapiro has officially confessed and the District. Attorney hopes his action will be the opening wedge to a solution of the mystery surrounding the identity of the men who killed Rosenthal and the men who financed the killing.
