ASKED TO SWEAR AWAY BECKER'S LIFE, HE SAYS | Declares That Webber, Rose and Val- lon—Especially Webber—Urged Him Day and Night in West Side Prison to Corroborate Rose> The cross-examination of Jacob Reich, alias “Jack Sulliyan,” the first witness for the defense in the Becker trial before Justice Seabury, ; | tumed the orderly procedure of the court into close resemblance to @ riot this afternoon. All the pent-up resentment of Reich against the District-Attorney flared up as soon as Mr. Whitman took him in hand, and in picturesque underworld language, illuminated by profanity, he practically ran wild as a witness. Reich paid no attention to the admonitions of the Court or of counsel for Becker. He shouted at the top of his voice that he was going to preserve his rights and not be choked off as he was in the last trial, even whet Grounds this afternoon. The High-| threatened with punishment for contempt. Justice Seabury was kept busy Instructing the stenographer to wre bea strike out statements volunteered by Relch, who disregarded the questions when such a line of action sulted his purpose, and launched out into his own idea of what the court and the jury ought to hear. In his direct examination, Relch moved along smoothly enough under the careful questioning of Lawyer Martin T. ‘Aanton, The testi- mony of Reich was designed to lay the groundwork of evidence to sup- port the statement made by Mr. Manton in his opening address to the Jury that Jack Rose, Bridgie Webber and Harry Vatton conspired to kill Herman Rosenthal because he was thelr enemy, and when they had suc- ceeded in thelr purpose arranged to fasten the crime on Becker to save Slain Man, a Young Itallan, and! thelr own Ives.
