The shades were pulled down in this “decoy” car and the chauffeur was ordered to drive off at the moment the gates were thrown open and the other cars came out. He was also to mention the name of Rose. This device proved so successful that two auto- loads of reporters followed the empty taxi for half an hour, while Rose Hinseelf was speeding on his way to his home on One Hundred and Tenth street, near Broadway. But the arch-witness of the State's “Big Four” did not succeed in shak- tug off @ gasoline back filled with photographers.
