WITNESS CLASHES
 WITH RAILROAD MAN AT INQUEST
Head of Railroad Safety De- vice Concern Resents In situation That He's Look ing for Advertising.

With nearly a dozen witnesses pres ent, coroner John J. Phe1an today, be- the New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad wreck at Saugatuck bridge, Westport. Oct. 3. The hearing began at 1850 o'clock this afternoon in the criminal superior court room.
 Most of the witnesses present were railroad men and the testimony was of technical nature. Maps, charts and coroner delved into the practical ele- ments which might have contributed to the fatal wreck
 Among the railroad men present were: c. N. Woodward, superintendent of the New York division; G H. Nor rison, signal engineer; GA. DeMore, road master; H. F. Havener, civil en- patcher. Jacob A. Cantur, president of the Electrical Automatic railroad Safety Signal O., was also present
 Aubrey Fuller of the engineer ing firm of Ford & Scofield was the first witness examined. He had made an observation of the tracks and the ground in the vicinity of the wreck scene and was questioned relative to distances as they related to switches, crossovers and signals
 MT. Cantur was the next witness He is acting president of the concern in New York which makes automatic stop signals.
 Other letters were read which show ed that the train, control board, rec onm ended the adoption of the control system.
 The trend of the testimony was to show that the railroad practically ig- nored to an extent the opportunity to equip it's road with signal and safety devices. The witness and E. G. Buck land signal engineer of the railroad had a little tilt which developed some lively discussion. The witness read a letter from the railroad which in- timated that his company was taking the opportunity which has arisen a nF he frx a6 6 ho devices it manufactured.
 Witness didn't like this insinuation and went on to say that some of his personal friends were killed in the wreck and he had more interest in the wreck than a mere hope of further advertising the control devices

 OUTLINES
 HIS CASE
Discussing His Case, Today, Ex- Police Official Indicted For Murder Claims Rose Was His Stool Pigeon
Declares He Can Show His In- nOcence, Saying lie Knew Gamblers Were Determined to Get Him - Becker to Know His Fate Next Week

Nv York, Oct 1S-DecIarine that 1T Lieut.. Becker is sworn in his own De- fense he will chow that he was monumental grafter.@ and win f0ree him to produce, his bank books dez- pfte the ruling of Justice Golf. Az sistant District Attorney Frank Moss. when the police officers triad for rnur- der was resumed, today, prepared for hard fight.
 Moss and his chief. Whitman. are very angry over the activity Of For qner District Attorney Jerome on the side of the defense. They say that Jerome, as an officer of the court waa derelict in his duty when he failed to give Jack Rose up to the police but told Attorney John Hart 10 go to the house where Rose was hiding and get an affidavit from him that would aid Becker They intended dwelling at length in summing up on this cub ject, in order to discredft Jerome.
 Attorney Mcintyre, for the defense. complete his case by the middle 01 next week and it seemed certain when the trial was resumed, today, that Becker would know his fate not later than a week from today.
 Discussing his case. prior to the opening of court, Becker said that he to the jury, declaring that he was con fdent if he did he coaid easily clear t1fs name," but he said slIB would lo whatever his counsei wanted him 70
 l.sI can show my Innocence easny.e he said, land can also show absolutely that Rose was really my stool pigeon T had to use a man, like him to do my duty as head of the vice squad He was invaluable to me In getting linA on gambling conditions and also on keeping my own men from get ting too friendly with the gamblers against whom we were proceeding.
 T used Rose widely and he Wae always coming to me with stories that he was afraid gamblers would get wise. Rose has woven me into the murder plot. Now I always suspected him but I did not believe he would be able to double-cross me in this manner. If I can tell my story on the stand I can show the jury what tissue of lies he and his fellows have woven.
 l'Tvhe best evidence that was not profiting by my place as head of the gambling raiding squad and was mot could keep my job is the very fact that every week asked ComnDission- CT Waldo to remove me. I knew fhs gamblers were trying to ge me and also knew that no man had ever beeu strong enough to hold out aRainst them so I was anxious to be relieved Every man who had preceded me iu this work has gone to the wall and was not anxious to share their fate
 My story of my connection with Rose does not require any murder ploc t, support it. It will chow for Itself that it was the natural. reasonable truthful explanation Of eyerything that ever occurred between us."
