According to Ruling.

NEW YORK, oct. 24.-The fate of
Police Lieutenant Charles Becker now
rests with the jury that is to determine
whether he is guilty or innocent of the
murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Justice Golf charged the jury in an
address lasting two hours and forty
minutes. in it he brought out impor-
tant points for the defense. but in gen
eral it was regarded as more favorable
to the prosecution than to Becker. Nc
Intyre moved that the indictment be
quashed. He was overruled. Several
motions to strike out certain sections
of the courts charge to the jury fol-
lowed These were all overruled. The
jury retired at 1851 o'clock
The judges instructions were regard
ed as very favorable to the state when
he said near the close:

which tends to connect t. defendant

Each of these petitions asks the
privilege and permission of the mayor
and general council to run locker
club in the city of Atlanta for the last
quarter of the year 1919. While these
petitions were pending before the gen.
eral council, it was stated on the moor
of said general council by at least two
of the members of said general council
that they knew that there was not now
a locker club in the city of Atlanta that
was operating in conformity with and
in accordance with the requirements OF
the law of the state of Georgia, provid-
ing for and Iegalizing locker clubs.
THE general assembly of the state OF
Georgia, by and with the approval OF
the executive of this state. has made II
legal for a number OF citizens to assoc
ciate themselves together and to have
rooms at which intoxicating liquors
may be stored by any member of such
association, and where such intoxicat-
ing liquors may be served to the owner
thereof by a servant or employee OF
the club. The Intoxicating liquor or H.

Becker listened to the judges in

Immediately after the jury retired
they presented a request to the court
through their foreman, Harold B. Skin

before beginning their deliberations.
Justice Golf granted their request and
ordered that the criminal court building
be cleared of tire crowd that surround

the Jurors from the criminal courts
building to the Murray Hill hotel. and
Police Captain Lynch was appointed,

Considerable delay was met with il
getting started for the hotel because of
tbe fact that the crowd of at least loco

Asks For Sweeping
Probe Of Clubs.

Acting Mayor Gambler gave as his
reason for vetoing the permits OF the
clubs that members of council had de-
clared that no club In Atlanta was
obeying the state law. He said that
some of the councilmen fighting for
some of the clubs outlawed by council
were making a fight on all clubs in the
hope Of getting permits for all.
He calls for an investigation OF all
clubs and says that permits should be
granted to none which do not comply
with the state locker club law.
The message, the most sensational
that any mayor of Atlanta has issued In
wears. means complete readjustment
of the locker club situation.
