Seldom in a court Of law was a more
able defence made Of a man than that
made by John F. Mcintyre, chief coun-
sci for Becker. in the four hours sum-
ming up to the jury yesterday. There
was no word Of praise OF Becker either
as a policeman or a private citizen IN
all Mr.. Mcintyre said. And several
times during his long address he re-
minded the Jurors that Becker was not
being tried for grating or blackmail'
but murder.
Heavy black puffs under the eyes bore
mute testimony TO the strain under
which the chief counsel for the defence
had labored during the last three
weeks as he arose at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning 70 speak the last word
in favor Of Becker that the Jury might
listen 10. SO when the noted criminal
LAWYER staggered in the midst OF his
address, a sentence half finished on
his lips. and covered his face with
trembling hands murmur ran
through the court.
This rumble OF the crowd saved tho
lawyer from complete collapse. He
steeled himself TO the ordeal before
him. and taking water from glass
offered him by one OF his assistants
continued with his address.
His voice was weaker as he resumed,
but here and there in the two hours
still remaining. when carried away by
the ardor OF his cause. II was the Nc
Intyre Of old who spoke. impassioned
and fiery.
The accused police lieutenant was
much affected by the magnificent plea
made in his behalf. and tears started
in his eyes on several occasions. In
striking contrast to Becker was the
woman who sat hidden in a corner.
her head bowed, her face wearing an
attempt at a cheerful smile. And
those who knew her delicate condi-
ton. which would mean a nurse and a
physician to the average woman, mar
yelled at the courage Of Becker's wife.
Mr.. McIntyre's address might be
divided into three parts. Two parts
were plain TO the most casual OBJ
servers. They were the bitter attack on
the characters Of the chief witnesses
OF the state notably. BRIDGE" Weber,
Harry yallon, sam" Schepps and
BALD Jack" Rose. and the impas-
stoned plea for the life Of Becker.
The third was interviewer with these
two II was an analysis OF the strong
est parts Of the prosecutions case.
And here the long years OF practice
came to the lawyers aid. He read to
the fury sections OF the most damning
portions OF the states testimony with
such artfulness as TO create a feeling
OF sympathy for the defendant.
Every turn that his legal mind could
suggest as helpful TO his case Mr..
Mcintyre made use OF. In the reading
Of the testimony given by men at Hot
Springs to whom Schepps talked after
his arrest Mr.. Mcintyre emphasized
scheppss talk about Rosenthal's al
legged white slave" connections, ex-
claiming dramatically:
II RosenthaI was in the white slave"

timony as suspicious by saying he was
dickerins with a prostitute.
Gentlemen, you can see why good people
DO not feel like coming into case like
this, for fear OF what may be on the
inside as well as on the outside. He said
there was an automatic gun, but counsel
said he couldn't tell a gun at the dis
lance Of 10 feet That man IL an IN
ventor and the gun might have been held
so he could distinguish at that distance.
Takes Up Conspiracy Theory.
Mr.. Moss reviewed the testimony Of
other witnesses called by the state, and
finally came to the theory OF the con-
| spiracy Of Rose. Weber and Vallon to
kill Rosenthal as advanced by the de-
fence. He said that from the specific
question put to Rose and Weber and
WALTON on cross examination by the de-
fence the Jury must have expected to
hear a lot about the great conspir-
acy." He read a page OF names OF
men who were referred to in these
questions, but who had not been called
as witnesses by the defence. The the
DRY Of a conspiracy on the part Of
these men 10 kill Rosenthal for their
own personal hatreds had fallen down
lamentably, he said and added:
What does IT mean? Is counsel play
ing with the court? Is he putting up a
false defence by heaping all these hor-
rible things on Rose, Weber and WALTON
by irsinuation in his questions. and then
mentioned to substantiate the accu-
sations? Are we 10 be blamed for
not bringing genteel folks here when
the defendant has not been genteel2 Is
one 20 attack the character OF Jack"
Rose, with whom he frequently broke
bread and took his own wife to call and
dine with the Roses?
Referring to the testimony OF Jack"
Sullivan, Mr.. Moss said that the wit
ness had used outrageous language and
said some very improbable things. He
said he couldn't imagine Rose putting
himself in Sullivan's hands day after
day, when Sullivan testified that Rose
was telling him Of the "frame-up" on
Becker and laying himself open to per-
jury, while at the same time Sullivan
was holding to his position and calling
Rose all kinds OF names The testi-
mony Of Sullivan's brother, Charles,
had in no way corroborated the testi-
mony OF the former king of the
Newsboys," Mr.. Moss said.
The testimony Of Louis Pitt, Robert
Smith and many of the policemen who
testified in Becker's favor was BIASED
and as improbable as the testimony of
| Sullivan and other witnesses, the pros
ecutor declared. He reviewed much OF
the testimony in detail TO support his
contention.
"Vaw O'Farrell, a former detective at
Headquarters, but now moving spirit
in rounding up witnesses for the de-
fence, was in evidence everywhere In
the testimony Of witnesses, Mr.. Moss
said. Many of the witnesses had gone
for long time with important infor-
nation In regard to Roses and Weber's
part in the murder locked up In their
breasts without communicating with
the police or the District Attorney. and
the information had been forthcoming

DESCRIBES BECKER AS HERO
IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH

AS Mr.. MCINTYRE tried to belittle
Stanich's story Of who identified
Whitley" Lewis as one Of the men who
fired the shots. he leaned on the rail
of the Jury box, and, with his face
within Elk inches Of the foreman, asked
the Jury IL It believed stanich when he
said he saw one gunman with an auto
matte revolver and the other with an
ordinary gun.
Then, walking TO the other end OF the
box, Mr.. Mcintyre addressed himself

Accuses Mcintyre of Bad Taste.

Mr.. Moss read at length from the
testimony of Jack" Rose, which Mr.
Mcintyre had quoted to the jury. and
accused the lawyer Of willfully leav-
ing out parts Of sentences in order to
mslead the jury. He said that sort OF
thing went on through the whole adj
dress Of Becker's counsel.
Senior counsel for the defence re-
sorted TO these tactics and left out this
testimony by uncompleted sentences to
mislead the jury" said Mr.. Moss, while
surrounded by his coterie Of assist
ants.
MIR. Mcintyre arose and shouted:
That is not true, and you know 1t is
not true. Be fair be fair"
Il don't intend to have this defendant
acquitted by any such methods" re-
torted Mr.. Moss, land l do not intend
to be afraid to expose them"
Mr.. Moss went on.

counsel has been guilty Of misrepresen-
tation.
Let us look at this matter in the reg
ulaT and natural way. The prosecution
takes up the witnesses. Before we take
them up we must look at the seven men
charged with the murder. There are the
men behind the guns-"Lefty' Louie.
"Gvp" the Blood, Whitley Lewis and
"DaeO Frank"
There are the brains behind the guns
Rose, WALTON and Weber, and then
there is the will behind the guns
Becker. OF course, the important man
men fred those guns II was the brains
and the will who fred them Rose, Val
lon and Weber. the brains, fired the
guns at the order Of the will-Becker.
They would never have been directed
against Herman Rosenthal had II not
been for the will behind the brains. IL
has been said that we entered into an
agreement for a bargain and sale with
these men, and that after this case is
over these men will be seen on Broad
way. If we hadn't taken them the
whole ten would go free. II we hadn't
taken these three men as witnesses we
would never have had case.
If they had stood pat we would never

mystery. and Rosenthal's death would
have been called the result OF a gam
blers' war and the defendant would have
probably gone on his way with Rose.

three men when we found a chance 20

But what did we give them? Nothing.

Amount to FinanCier.

Contributions Made by Edward
Mclean and Clifford Pinchot
Also Sent Back After
the Election.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct 23-The Senatorial
campaign Of Albert J. Beveridge, Of In
diana, occupied the attention Of the SEN
ate campaign investigating committee to-
day and prevented an adjournment until
after election as had been planned. Three
witnesses from Indiana testified that Sen
ator Beverage, after his election, had
returned $3.50 10 three donors TO his
campaign. OF this amount, $4,000 came
from George w. Perkins, $4,000 from Ed
ward Mclean, cousin Of Senator Bev-
erldge, and $500 from Clifford Pinchot.
The witnesses insisted that three checks
of $4,000 each were returned to Mr.. Per-
kins, who had previously testified that he
had contributed only $1,000
Mr. Perkins, after searching his files,
sent to Senator Clapp to-day a letter
from Senator Beverage beginning, Dear
Old Man" which accompanied the re-
turned checks. asking him not to be Of
Tended.
TO-day's witnesses were Larz A. Whit
comb, John F. Hayes and Leopold G.
Rothschild, all of whom were apparently
friendly TO Senator Beverage. Other wit
nesses from Indiana will be examined on
the same question tomorrow. Senator
Beveridge has informed the committee
that he will be unable to appear before

Persuaded BeVeridge to Wait.
Mr.. Rothschild, surveyor Of customs at
indianapolis, who was a member of the
publican State Committee in the 1904
campaign, said he believed the state com.
mittee received $4,000 from the national
committee. He said Mr. Beverage ap-
peared agitated" when he showed him the
checks and drafts early in October.
He said he thought he'd send the
money right back" Rothschild continued.
81 thought il would be bad thing to send
it back, because IT might injure the friend
ship Of the men who sent 1t. So he de.
termined to hold II until after the cleo
ton. remember he put the drafts and
checks in an envelope and put II in his
vault to be returned after election"
The committee adjourned until to-mor-
row. after a letter from Judge R S.
Lovett, OF the Hartman railroads, had
been placed in the record. relating to the
dismissal Of the government land suits
against the Hartman lines The letter
included court records to corroborate
Judge Lovetts testimony that the suits
were dismissed in 1895, about ten years
before the date Of the collection Of the
Hartman $4,000 fund. Joseph H. Nc
Call formerly government attorney
had testified they were dismissed in 1906
Judge Lovett contended Mccall had con-
fused separate suits.
Mr.. BeVsridge's Letter.
The letter from Mr.. Beverage returning
the Perkins checks was given out late
to-day by a representative Of the Pro-
gressive party. II read as follows:

Stomach Sour? Got
Indigestion Also?
"Pape's Diapepsin' will make your
disordered stomach feel fine
in five minutes. Time It!

If what you just ate Is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food.
or have feeling of dizziness, heartburn,
fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth
and stomach headache-this is indiges-
tion.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only fifty cents and will thoroughly cure
your out-of-order stomach, and leave
sufficient about the house in case some
one else in the family may suffer, from
stomach trouble or indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you the
formula plainly printed on these fifty
cent cases, then you will understand
why dyspeptic trouble or all kinds must
go. and why they usually relieve sour
out-of-order stomachs or indigestion in
five minutes. Diapepsin Is harmless and
tastes like candy. though each dose con-
tains power sufficient to digest and
prepare for assimilation into the blood
you go to the table with a healthy appe-
tite; but. what will please you most. is
that you will feel that your stomach
and intestines are clean and fresh, and
you will not need to resort to laxatives
or liver pills for biliousness or constl-
patton.
This city will have many Diapepsn
cranks. as some people will call them.
but you will be cranky about this splen-
did stomach preparation, too, IL you
ever try little for indigestion or gas
tritis or any other stomach misery.
Get some now, this minute. and for
ever rid yourself OF stomach trouble
and indigestion.
