Now Yurk, Nov. IS.?-The cane for the defense In the trial of the four alleged gunmen accused of ihootlng and killing the gambler, Herman Ho senthal, eras oompleted today. Nearly a dozen witnesses testitied iu support of the Claim of the accused that Har? ry Valien and "Bridgie" Webber and an unidentified stranger had fired the fatal shots at the gambler and that three of the defendants, "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie" and "Whitey" Lewis were on the scene only as in? nocent spectators, while the fourth, "Dag* Krank," was not there at all. "Dago Frank," a diamond pin Hash l?g fr6m his tie, a gold watch chain 1 i dangling from a waistcoat of the latest cut, told on the stand as the first witness of the day the story that purported to be hlskulibi on the night of the murder. He left "Gyp," "Lefty" and "Whitey" at "Hridgie 1 Webber's poker rooms just after the mysterious stranger had invited them all to go to the Hotel Metropole, where Kosen thal was staying, to see Jack Rose, he tald. lit* went to the home of his girl, Jean Georgen, he swore. When he got there he found that she had been arrested and he went to the police station to bail her out. It was not until then that he hoard of the murder of Hosenthal, he declared. Then followed testimony from the lips of an *old woman Which corrobo? rated the stories told yesterday by the Other three defendants that Webber and Vallon w?re the real gunmen in the case. The witness was Mary Kydd, who was selling newspapers near the Metropole on the morning of the murder and who swore that she saw four men Atting the description of Jack Hose, Sam Schopps. Webber and Vallon In :> group near the hotel and that the shots wore fired from that group. She did not see the four de? fendants there ;it all, she said.

A bur ia-r testified that he saw "Bridgie" running from the scene. Giovanni Btanish, eye-witness for | tin- state, was called in rebuttal before Court adjourned and while he was on i the stand Hose, Webber, Vallon and Bcheppi were brought into the court room and lined up against the rail? ing in front of which the prisoners were sitting. Stanish swore he had not H'.*en them at the Metropole, The prisoners turned in their seats and the sneers and savage glares that passed between tho two quartettes who faced each other in one room for tiie first time since their arrest excited the keen interest of the spec? tators. The informers will be called in rebuttal. it was upon the understanding that they llrcd no shots at Hosenthal that they were given immunity from pros? ecution. It is expected that the case will be In the hands of the jury by Tuesday. The lawyers indicated today that they would spend all day Monday in sum? ming up. Tax Dodging. The matter of the returns Of prop? erty for taxation is more and more shocking every year. The statement published yesterday from the ab BtractS of the auditor show that the property in this country, which In ten years has more than doubled, is very little more than it used to be. There Is tax dodging, and always will be if we do not find some way to make the burden of taxation fall n?or< equally, and each one to pay his ihare. If i' Is dumped on the /nan who owns property, it forces him ir. the dlrcctlon of acquiring a form of property that is going to be Invisible, or towards lying about the \ulue of what be has and either u1 thete tendencies are most de ploral le. There If no excuse for us o ('.edge the issue just because it i d bsrd problem to figure OUt. The State and the county are suffering an-' che remedy is needed very badly. ?1 'lorence Tunes.
