William Shapiro, Sha-piro, chauffeur of the murder car, today to-day picked out "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg. Rosen-berg. "Gyp the Blood" Horowitz, "Whltey Jack" Lewis and "Dago Frank" CIrofici as the actual murderers mur-derers of Herman Rosenthal. It was the supreme dramatic Incident Inci-dent of the Rosenthal affair Like a shot well placed iu tho enemy's ene-my's works. District Attorney Whitman Whit-man hurled the Shapiro confeslon into in-to the trial of the four sunmen at the psychological moment, and literally blew their defense into the air. Casting aside his fear of death at: the bands of the gunmen's friends, responding re-sponding to the tearful pleadings of I his mother and throwing himself on the mercy of the law, the short, swarthy, swar-thy, slocklly built young man who carried the assassins on the mission ! of death faced them Intrepidly and I told a story which, tnless broken down, will inevitably send all four defendants after Charles Becker to the death house at Sing Sing. "I did It for my mother's sake, ' was the low, pathetic refrain of the witness in explanation :if his desertion deser-tion of the scowling defendants, who sat with btirnins hatred in their eyes, listoning to the man who had been indicted Jointly with them swearing away their lives It was a tense silent pause in which Shapiro, under the glare of the elec- j trie lights left the witness chair and I stepped quickly to the table where, the four gunmen were seated. They j bent forward as he approached, and the eyes of each glowed red. Sha-1 nirn rlld not falter It was his life ' ngainst theirs, pits the aching heart if an aged mother.

The spectators were spellbound. spell-bound. The four defendants gazed straight ahead, their lips curled in scorn and defiance. Yet all four went back to the Tombs white faced and with the fear of the law in their hearts Wahle for tho defense went at Shapiro Sha-piro viciously on cross-examination. But the result of his attack was merely mere-ly to bring into stronger relief the: original story told by the witness. He bore down heavily on Shapiro's I refusal until recently, after the' ap- j peals of bis mother had gone home, J to identify the four accused men as i the occupants of his car on the night I of the murder. The questions cracked like pistol shots I "Why did you refuse to identify, I these men that day in the coroner's court?" I "1 was afraid," came the reply. , "Afraid of what?" , "That I would be killed " "And do you identify them now be- cause you are afraid that you will be killed?" No " "You know that you arc under indictment in-dictment for murder In the lirst degree, de-gree, the ponaltj for which is death. Is it because yor. are afraid of that i death that you identify them now"'" ! "No." loplfed Shapiro, a soft light coming into lils eyes ! "Then why did you Identify them?"j "I did t for my mother's sake." j came the answer In clear, ringing J tones, and through the court room there swept a suppressed sob from the throats of half the spectators. "Dago Frank" ?neered 'Gyp tho i Blood" looked mystified and the oth- crs continued to stare straight ahead And then Whitman let loose the i connecting link, which seems to put I 'he story beyond all cavil Shapiro ! swore that on the date that he was arrested, which was on the morn- ' Ing that Rosenthal was killed, he told! Aaron Levy, his attorney . the story j he recited today from the witness chair. And Aaron Levy stands ready to take the stand to corroborate his client and drive the last clinching coppor rivet into the case of the prosecution. Shapiro told of the telephone message mes-sage he received from Jack Rose at 11 p. m.. on the night of tho murder calllnfg him to Tom Sharkey's saloon sa-loon on Fourteenth street, where he met Rose. Schcpps and Vallon. He drove from there to Ono Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Seventh avenue, ave-nue, where "Dago Frank" joined the party dywn to "Biidgcy" Webber'3 poker room in Forty-second street. Fifteen minutes after reuniting Webber's Web-ber's "Dago Frank" came down and told him he u'is t0 c himself and throe others around to Forty-third ' strceL Frank said Jack Rose had requested this. The inon with Frank I were "Whitey" 1-cwls. "Gyp the Blood," and rfLerty" Louie. "Do you see them here in the courtroom?" asked Whitman. 'Yos, sir, there," and he pointed across the Inclosure to where the defendants de-fendants were seated. Here it was that the Uentlflcation was mado, while the. chauffeur and the gunmen raced each other amid deep silence across the table. Resuming his story. Shapiro told how at the direction of Frank he had driven past the Metropole, turned around and repassed the hotel. Frank he testified, said; "Everything's all right. There are no cops there. Bocker said so." The men then got out of the car and crossed the street Fifteen minutes min-utes latqr he heard three or four shots and the men ran back to the car "I saw them coming toward me. J The same four." he said. "Two had revolvers In their hands. They were 'Daco' Frank and 'Lefty' Louie. They got In on one side, 'Whitey' and 'Gyp' on tho otiier. 'Gyp put a revolver to my head and cried. 'Hurry up, and I drive away from here ' I took his I orders." I Shapiro then described the route I which was taken until the men j abandoned the car. j "Did ou hear anything said while j they weie still In the car?" asked' Whitman J "I heard whispering," roplled Shapiro "Thej were saying 'All right Nobody saw us.
