Of nearly 100000 through stock spec

March, the lawyer, declared before the

engineered the police officers stock
speculations. March had been quoted
as saying that he and Becker had a

his tips Becker had made thousands
through stock deals
When the lawyer was first examined
by the jury he is alleged to have said
in a general way that he acted for
Becker in stock transactions but could
not furnish specific details. He added,
1t was learned, that he had acted in q
similar capacity for others, naming an
Italian banker. This banker was i'm
mediately subpoenaed and appeared
before the jury March was then re
called and after being closely cues
