NEW YORK, Oct. "a. - The
fate of Police Lieut.. Charles
Becker, charged with having In
stigated the murder of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal, now rests
with jury.
Justice John w. COTS charge
was concluded at 1:55 o'clock
this afternoon, and the Jury I'M

Becker lounged idly In a chair
during the reading of the courts
instructions to the jury. He only
showed interest in Justice Goff's
charge when the court, before
sending out the jury to deliberate
on the case which meant so much
to him, said: IF you find that
Jack Rose had Rosenthal killed
while acting under instructions
from Becker, you must find the
defendant guilty of murder in the
first degree"

of the Mohammedans from Eu-
rope.
Sweeping in from the North
west, the Bulgarian army has
cleft its way almost to the walls
of Kirk Kilisseh, and, spread out
in a wide crescent formation, Ia
steadily pushing back the Turks
to the very walls of the fortress.
Vasilika and Tirnovo have already
been occupied by the Christians,
and their advance forces alomst
surrounding Kirk Kilisseh, they
are battling desperately before
pushing on to Adrianople, 20
miles west.
News from the front is frag-
mentary, but enough has come
through the lines to show that
more than 100000 men are en-
gagged on both sides, and it is GER
tain that the slaughter is terrific.
On the right wing of the attack
ing Bulgarian force, 1t is said,
contact already has been estab-
lished with the Turkish forces,
defending Adrianople, and that
100 of the Moslem were killed in
a sharp conflict at a redoubt on
the bank of the river Arda. 1t Is
even rumored that Bulgar siege
guns have opened fire on Adriano-
pie itself, but this report 80 far
is unconfirmed.
