Willie Shapiro, who drove Louis

of the murder of Herman Rosenthal
in front of the Metroiole Hotel, made
a clean breast of his part In the af

It Is now known for the first time
exactly where "Jack" Rose and "Rrid

murderers got in. how many drove
to the scene of the crime and how
many tied In It after the murder. Put
most Important of all In Shapiro's
story la that relating to the events Just
before and Just after the murder.
Shapiro took three men from "Hrld
gie" Webber's gambling-house at For
ty -second street and Sixth avenue to
a point almost directly opposite tho
Metropole Hotel. There the men got
out. Hfteen minutes later four men
jumped hastily Into the car and one

From the fact that both sides have

Lodge indorsed a substitute bill he

abolishing sugar duties the domestic

Tho Colonel continued:
"Any talk as to what we Intend to
