BECKER CASE COMPLETE
Whitman Says He Is Confident
of Obtaining Conviction.
TALKS WITH WITNESSES
Mcintyre Will Insist Upon In
dictment of Rose, Weber,
Vallon and Schepps.

The case OF the people against Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker, who Is charged win
instigating the murder OF Herman Rosen-
thai, received its final polishing yesterday
by District Attorney Whitman. He spent
the day examining practically all the I'M
portant witnesses against the Indicted po-
lice official and held two hours confer
ence last night with Justice Gon. who VIII
preside at the trial Mr. Whitman SAID
afterward that the case against Becker
was exceptionally strong, and that he
would take up the trial Monday. confident
OF obtaining conviction on the evidence
which the prosecution intends to present
TO the jury.
The preliminaries to the trial show that
the prosecution expects to obtain con-
ylction on the following grounds:
First. that Becker instigated the killing
OF Rosenthal and ordered 1t done py
means OF threats. Rose. Weber and val
ion. the three states witnesses and self
confessed co-conspirators, are expected to
testify on that point sam" Schepps and
other witnesses VIII corrooorate THESE
witnesses. IL was said.
Second. that Becker knew "heh 'he
deed was to be done. in the early morn
ing of July 10. It Is understood that this
point will be covered by witnesses who
talked with Becker prior TO the crime
other than Rose. Weber and WALTON, Al
though the three gamblers will also fur
ni-h testimony along that line.
Third. that Becker protected the STAY
ers. In that regard the people Will at
tempt TO show that Becker kept silent
about the whole affair and shielded the
identity OF the slayers TO that extent.
schepps is expected to testify that he was
sheltered in Becker's home following the
shooting and that he had conversations
with Becker which would show that the
latter knew everything that was going on
In the Rosenthal affair.

PENDANTS in the Rosenthal case. held
session Yesterday. Police Commissioner
Waldo. Lieutenant Daniel Costigan, who
was at the head Of one Of the strong
arm" SQUADS when Becker commanded
another and other witnesses testified.
John ]. Hickey and Christian Walker
("Boob" Waiker), who were sitting at the
table In the Hotel Metropols with Ro-
senthal on the night ne was shot, also
were witnesses. 1t Is understood that
Hickey and Walker were asked about
their conversations with Rosenthal on
that night, as to whether he mentioned
the graft situation and linked Becker's
name with II.
"Scabby" George, the newsboy. who sold
Rosenthal some papers just before he was
shot was before the grand jury. The July
grand Jury Is expected to return indict-
ments for extortion against Becker and
others before It completes its labors.
John r. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
Lieutenant Becker. declared yesterday
that he intended to insist upon the formal
indictment of Rose Weber. WALTON and
Schepps as accomplices In the Rocenthal
murder DtlOIc thty WIN w 8iNS
their testimony at the trial. Mr.. McIn-
tyre said that he had such a right as a
matter Of law. He declared that the Dis
trict Attorney had no right to grant I'M
munity to any self-confessed accomplish,
but that the question Of immunity was
entirely at the discretion Of the court.
He doubted that Judge Mulqueen. before
whom the defendants were originally ar
raigned, had consented to give immunity
to any one of the four witnesses, he said,
and even II that were the case he would
contend as a matter OF law that Judge
Mulqueen had no such right, as he was
not the Judge before whom Becker was to
be tried.
Mr.. Mcintyre cited decision OF the
United States Court in California to sup
port his contention, In which Judge Saw
yer said:
The authority to promise immunity to
an accomplice upon his turning state
evidence is not vested In the prosecuting
officer, but whether such person VIII De
, permitted to testify and thus secure an
equitable right to clemency Is vested In
the discretion OF the courts, TO be exer-
cised cautiously In view OF all the cir
cumstances OF the case. and to promote
the ends OF justice
The Indictment OF the four witnesses, II
ordered by the court on motion by
Becker's counsel, would not necessarily
delay the trial, Mr.. Mcintyre said. as 1t
could be done contemporaneously with
the trial. While the four men were prac-
tically self-confessed accomplices. he said
he intended to insist upon the formality
OF indictments, as II would further tend
to discredit their testimony

The prosecution will also endeavor TO
