The Giants sweeping triumph was

Giants to the plate in droves and had
the Red Sox Keeling. The latter were

GAMBLERS SLAYtRS.
TO BE BECKER'S PLEA
Line Of Defense Revealed in
CrOss-Examination

New York, Oct 16.-Gamblers, and
not Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,
instigated the murder of Herman Ros
enthal, according to the line of de
tense indicated by counsel for the &C,
cused officer at the session of his trial
before Justice Golf.
A large sum OF money, raised by
gamblers. was paid to get Rosenthal
out of New York when he began to
"squeal" on the subject of police pro-
lection, and when he took the money
and then refused to go the gamblers
frightened with the loss of their pro
lection, plotted and executed his muir
der through the agency of the four
gunner.
At least such was the outline of the
defense implied in questions put by
John F. Mcintyre, Becker's chief coun
sci, to Sam Schepps on the witness
stand.
Schepps did not have an opportunity
to say whether he had knowledge that
such was the origin of the murder
plot, for Justice Golf excluded the
questions.
The witness merely looked bored
He had at that time spent practically
the entire day on the stand corrobo
rating the testimony of Jack Rose
Bridge Weber and Harry Vallon, the
trio of self-confessed accomplices, who
accuse Becker of having inspired the
murder.
Schepps added another link to the
chain of evidence against the defend
ant by swearing that Becker had ask
ed him if the gunner had been paid
for their work. He also testified that
he had been the bearer of a reassur
ing message from Becker to Jack
Rose when the latter was in hidine
ready to commit suicide" at the home
of Harry Pollock.

Sore Throat is very serious matter,
