STATE'S EVIDENCE
"GYP THE BLOOD" DIRECTED
FLIGHT AFTER MURDER WAS
COMMITTED
CHAUFFEUR IDENTIFIES FOUR GUNMEN
Shapiro Admitted He Had Told False
hood Before Deputy Police Com
missioner But Fear Had
Sealed His Lips
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. William
Shapiro, co-defendant of the four gun
men indicted as the actual slayers of
the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, turn
ed state's evidence today.
Testiiying at the gunmen's trial for
murder, Shapiro identified' the quar
tet. "Lefty Louie", "Gyp the Blood,"
"Whitey" Lewis and "Dago" Frank
Cirofici as his passengers in the "mur
der car," which he drove to the Hotel
Metropole, where Rosenthal was kill
ed. He saw them get out of the ma
chine, he said, heard the shots fired,
and declared that when they came
back to the machine they had revol
vers in their hands.
"Gyp the Blood" Shapiro said, "had
placed a revolver to his head and or
dered him to "hurry up and drive
away." He had heard ''Dago Frank"
say he testified, that Police Lieuten
ent Becker, since convicted of insti
gating the murder, had "fixed the
cops."
Shapiro's appearance as state wit
ness, was one of the results, accord
ing to District Attorney Whitman, of
the death of "Big Jack!'' Zelig, leader
of the gang of East Side thugs to
which the four gunmen belonged.
Shapiro testified on the stand today
that he had refused to identify the
gunmen through fear of being killed.
"Shapiro told me," Mr. Whitman
explained after court adjourned, "that
he was afraid that if he testified
against the gunmen, Kg Jack' Zelig
would have him 'croaKd.'
"When Zelig was killed, Shapiro got
his nerve back and decided to tell the
truth."
Mr. Whitman added that the indict
ment against Shapiro probably would
be dismissed.
HARRINGTON-PIERCE
L
One of the prettiest weddings ever
solemnized in Clackamas County, was
that of Miss Wava Harrington, young
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Harrington, and T. S. Pierce, at the
home of the jbride in Gladstone Sat
urday evening. The Harrington home
was beautifully decorated with green
and white and the ceremony was per
formed under a canopy trimmed, with
ferns, Oregon grape and ivy. Rev.
W. T. Milliken, of the Oregon City
Baptist Church, was the officiating
clergyman. The bride, who was stun
ningly gowned in pan satin and car
ried a boquet of bride's roses, orchids
and lilies of the valley, was escorted
by her father. Miss Pearl Harrington,
sister of the bride, and bridesmaid,
was dressed in pink chiffon over1 blue
satin. Miss Iva Harrington and her
sister, Mrs. John Coply, of The Dalles,
received the guests most graciously.
The best man was John Pierce, broth
er of the bridegroom. After the cer
emony a delicious supper was served,
after which Mr. and Mrs. Pierce left
for San Francisco and Southern Cal
ifornia where they will spend their
honeymoon. Rudolph A. Kuner ren
dered Mendlesohn's wedding march
and a duet was rendered by Mr. Nad
and Mrs. T. A. Burke. Garland Hol
lowell rendered a solo.
Probably no couple in Clackamas
County for years has received as many
and as handsome presents as those
received by Mr. and Mrs. Pierce. The
silverware was especially fine. Among
those present and who partook of the
wedding supper were the following:
Pearl E. Harrington, John Pierce,

Teal Is Urged for New Secretary of

King Better
Man -,
Declaring that public lands should
be leased for the benefit of the states,
and opposing the Pinchot policy of
leasing them for the benefit of the
United States, L. D. Mahone, secre
tary of the Oregon Mining Congress,
made a forceful address Tuesday at
the luncheon of the Live Wires. He
said he opposed the Pinchot policy
for several reasons and cited instan
ces of two middle western states hav
ing supported the public schools and
a university with money derived from
leasing public lands. It has not been
, necessary, according to the speaker,
in tnese states to raise scnooi money
by direct taxation the past two years.
Mr. Mahone said he would go to
Washington in a few days to opposj
the measures. He will have a confer
ence with Secretary of the Interior
Fisher and other prominent govern
ment officials. .
Livy Stipp referred to the possibil
ity of J. N. Teal, of Portland, being ap
pointed Secretary of the Interior in
the Wilson administration. He said
Teal had a thorough knowledge of
water powers, but the speaker doubt
ed whether his knowledge of land
conservation was as thorough as it
might be. He thought W. R. King,
ex-justice of the Oregon Supreme
Court would make a better man for
the place, if an Oregonian was to be
appointed. Mr. Mahone differed with
Mr. Stipp, declaring that Mr. Teal was
the more competent of the two. B. T.
McBain told of Brigadier General Bix
by, chief engineer of the United States
Army and Major J. F. Mclndoe having
visited the locks at the Falls of the
Willamette. Mr. McBain said the plan
was to transfer the locks to the gov
ernment as soon as possible in order
to dispense with the tcjls.

JURY CAN'T AGREE
T
A jury in Circuit Judge Campbell's
Court was -unable to agree upon a
verdict Tuesday afternoon and even
ing in the suit of C. Stucken, recently
a candidate for recorder, against E. T.
Mass, Sheriff. The defendant in real
ity is the Merchant's Protective Asso
ciation which provided a bond of
$3,500 for the protection of the sher
iff. Judge Campbell instructed the
jury that in case a verdict was agreed
upon to seal the paper and return it
today. Strucken was the owner of
merchandise at Sandy, which had
changed hands several times before
he bought it. The Merchant's Pro
tective Association sued out a writ of
attachment against George Ketch, a
former owner under a law which
provides when the owner of a
store sells out he must give all cred
itors five day's notice and make an
affidavit to that effect. Sheriff Mass
closed the store on the writ of attach
ment, and at a sheriff's trial a verdict
was returned in favor of the defend
ant. The protective association gave
the $3,500 bond to continue the pros
ecution. A sheriff's sale yielded about
$600. Stucken is. represented by Dim
