THE CULVER PICNIC.

A picnic Vas given last Thursday by
the Culver people at Fife and Sanders
school house to celebrate the sixtieth
birthday Of Mr.. Buford. The hosts
and hostesses were Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Fife, Mr.. and Mrs. c. Sanders, and
Mr. and Mrs. E. Barry.
A most enjoyable dinner and an abun-
dance of fish were served. A small
party from SchIater attended and all
reported a fine time. They did full
justice to such a bountiful spread after
the rough ride out there, as the roads
in that section are in q very bad condi-
ton.
We think if the good roads commit
tee had been there and enjoyed such a
dinner, they would be only too glad to
improve the roads, thereby making it
easier to get there next time, provided
there is a next time. And who knows
but that there may be?
With many thanks to the Quiverites
for their kind welcome, ! remain,
A Visitor From Texas.

Dodson's Liver-Tone Per

Nearly everybody who has we tried
calomel for constipation or a sluggish
liver has found that it gives only a
temporary relief. For cslomel is such
a powerful drug that it shocks and
weakens the liver and makes it less
able afterward to do its duty than in
the first place.
This is one of the reasons why S. l..
Raines drug Store would rather sell
Dodson's Liver-Tone to you than Gallo
mel. We know that Dodson's Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that it will cure constipation quickly
and gently without any danger of bad
sfter.effects. We guarantee it to do
this with a guarantee that is simple
and fair. If you buy q bottle of bod
sons Liver-Tone for yourself or your
children, and do not find that it is a
perfect substitute for salomel, then
come back to the store and get your
money back. If you don't get value
for your money out of this tonic. it's
your right to expect your money back,
and we will gladly give it to you.

nesses who testified against Becker anu
a severe attack on the District Attor-
ney for the methods" employed IN
building up the case against the de-
PENDANT Becker's counsel worked MN
self into a veritable rage at times, and
screamed his defiance at the District
Attorney. He characterized the four
principal witnesses in the states case
Rose, Weber, WALTON and Schepps-as
cold blooded murderers, the vilest Of
degenerates and law breakers, and un-
worthy Of moments belief. Mr.. Nc
Intyre was completely exhausted at the
close of his address, and almost stag
gered from weakness as he walked
from the courtroom.
Mcintyre Interrupts Prosecutor.
ton Of his counsel to points In Mr.
Moss's final plea where the prosecutor
appeared to drift little away from
the evidence before the jury. Mr.. Nc
Intyre made one or two sensational in
terruptions on the strength of Becker's
suggestions. At one point he shouted
at Mr.. Moss that he knew the state
ments he made were not the truth.
Mr.. Moss had characterized some Of
the statements in which Becker's coun-
sci INDUCED in his attack upon the
,,,aThnIc % "a Tfctript AttnrnnU
little short of subornation Of perjury.
He accused the lawyer for the defence
Of wilfully splitting sentences in read
ing certain evidence to the jury, and
thereby Intentionally trying TO mislead
them.
Mr.. Mcintyre finished his summing
up at p. m, and court adjourned I'M
til $3.50, when Mr.. Moss, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, Immediately started
upon another four hours Of summing
up for the people The court attend
ants and the policemen assigned TO
guard the doors Of the courtroom had
difficulty in controlling the crowd anX-
ious to get in at the opening Of the
afternoon session. A large number Of
men and women were turned away,
after every available seat had been
taken. No one was allowed TO enter
or leave the courtroom during the final
argument Of the states case.
Mr.. Moss began by warmly denopnc-
ing the tactics of counsel for the de-
fence in attacking the District Attor-
ney. He declared that such methods
clearly showed the desperation Of the
defence. He added:
When cases are hard for the defendants
lawyers who practise at the criminal bar
often resort 10 an attack on the prose-
cutting officers. 1t has been my expert
ence that when that particular situation
arises and IL is dwelt upon IL indicates
weakness in the case OF the defendant,
and is an effort TO point a way leading
from the guilt OF the defendant. Not
once, but several times, the District At
torney has been charged with conduct, by
the senior counsel for the defence, such
as, II 1t were true, he would not be worthy
to hold his Office. ] merely refer 10 II be-
cause II indicates the conscious state Of

perate position in which they are.

only when O'Farrell applied "the brass
key" and opened its sources, to be used
In the case. Several of the policemen
had not recalled conversations they
had with Rose and Weber or threats
that those two had made against
Rosenthal until OFarrell had remind
ed them Of IT. Mr.. Moss said.
The Assistant District Attorney said
that the testimony Of the reporter,
Frederick Hawley, who testified that
he had not lost sight Of Becker for
more than five minutes at time after
he came down TO the West 47th street
station house on the morning OF the
murder was entirely false. Hawley,
however, on DISCRIMINATION, had
turned out to be a good witness for the
prosecution, he said.
Hawley had testified that Becker told
him that night that he, Becker, didn't
know anything about the murder" That
showed in itself guilty knowledge in
Becker's mind, said Moss. why should
he have told Hawley that? Why was
Becker at the police station at all that
morning? 1t was not his precinct and
he had not been assigned to the case.
Becker had seen Weber and Rose, and
congratulated them on the murder
when he first came downtown, Mr.. Moss
said Hawley testified that Becker
reached the station at about $3.50 a. m,
but the blotter showed he got there at
4:25. That gave him time to go over
TO 42d street and see Rose and Weber"
Mr.. Moss called attention to the fact
that the defence did not have to call
any character witnesses for Becker, but
they had elected 20 do so. 1t seemed
rather ludicrous on its face to hear
character witnesses swearing that
Becker had a fine reputation for peace
and quietness when he was the head
OF the strong arm squad.
Referring to Sam" Schepps, Mr..
Moss continued:
/ do not say that Schepps had no con-
nection with any part of this situation.
Schepps knew after the murder that
Rosenthal had been murdered in a con-
spiracy organized by Rose at the insti-
CATION OF Becker. Rose told Schepps
when he deemed the time right. Schepps
was an accomplish after the crime. This
is a separate crime. 1t is not murder
and is punishable as a separate crime.
Murder In the first degree requires pre-
monition. Schepps never thought or the
murder OF Herman Rosenthal, never de-
sired the murder OF Herman Rosenthal.
Schepps did not know that the murder
was to be committed. He knew II after
ward. and this is where he becomes n
criminal. He hid Rose after the murder.
This is proved conclusvely by the letters

The prosecutor reviewed the connec-
ton. step by step, of Becker with the
murder plot as the prosecution had
formulated it's case. He said that
Becker had been accused first and
brought to trial first because he was
the prime figure in the whole plot. In
closing. he urged the jury not to finch
in doing its duty and to bring in a YER
