Lectures in Brooklyn Church
and is Hooted—Crowd Forces
Him to Take to Shelter
NEW YORK. Sept, 23.—~“Bald Jac’k‘"
Rose, witness in the Herman Rosen-
thnl case and formerly one of the best
known figures in New York's under-
world, Sunday said his bald head was
responsible for his wrong start in life.
He so told a. croud which gathered
in Grace Gospel church, Saratogo ave-
nue and Bainbridge street, Brooklyn,
to hear him speak from the pulpit.
Clad in ministerial black, the form-
er gumbler and stool pidgeon told a
modest storyof his life, devoutly join-
ed in the hymn “Only a Sinner Saved
by Grace." shook hands with several
hundred men who bleSSed him as they
filed past and finally was booted and
jeered by a crowd gathered before the
.chapel as he drove off in an outermo-
bile.
“In early youth typhoid fever rob-
bed me of my hair, and i was very
sensative about; being teased about it,"
Rose said. “I played hockey from
school. Consequently l was sent to a
reformntory as a truant, and there i
learned to shoot crap with pieces of
lump sugar marked as dice. And when
i grew and I found gamblers made
no remarks about my head I threw in
my lot; with them, just as '[ would
have throwu in my lot with burglars
had they been as gentlemanly about
referring to my baldness as the gamb-
lers were.”
This is the second time Jack Rose
has spoken from the pulpit. The first
occassion' was September 19, in Nor-
wnlk. Rose is going to tour the coun-
try making speeches to Y. M. C. A38
and other; religious organizations”
No sooner had the former gambler
iput on his silk-lined overcoat and
sporty green hat and stepped from
the church than he was greeted ‘by an
uproar from several hundred people.
The jeering and booting threatened to
end in n roit, but Rose got into the
waiting touring car and sped away.
