 The hearing will probably come to an end today. Beavers testimony took up practically all of the days session Friday and late in .he after noon two witnesses, C. A. Gordon and J. H. Means, secretaries of the old trust company, were called to the stand by attorneys for the defend- ants, but their questioning was of brief duration.
 Mr. Denver made a complete. eXami- nation of the books of the Pine Bluff T,rass Company in April, 1912. He went over the transactions of the in- stitutian in detail from December, 1903, to February, 1910. He testified that in tae annual statement of the bank, issued on December 31, 1904, the deposits of the bank were padded ffttp the amount~of $60,000. This was done by three of the directors, J. 5. Ingram, J. F. Rutherford and F. L. Dilley depositing $20.O00 in the bank previous to the issuance of the state- ment and withdrawing it after the statement was published. On Janu- ary 5, 1905. MT. Ingram withdrew his $20 .OOO and on January ,. 19O5, Messrs. Rutherford and Dilley did likewise.

Witness in Becker Case Says There's No Justice
 in New York Courts.
BECKER'S INN NOCENT
His Attorney Says He Will Be Able to Show n "Frame Up" Against
 Him-SOme Evidence.

New York, Oct. 1S.--Jaeob Reich, known as Jack Sullivan and king of the neWsboys, created a sensation as a witness at the trial of Police Lieu tenant Charles Becker today by defy ing the District Attorney and the court
 When Justice Goss reminded the witness that he was in a court of jus tiee and expected him to answer or derly. Reich shouted back angrily:
 There is no such thing as justice here, When I was made an accom- plice to the murder of Herman Ros- enthal l was framed up by the Dis trict Attorney. 1 have been robbed thing as justice I would not now be in jail'
 ''The charge against Lieutenant Becker is also a frame-up'' added the witness in a loud voice before he could he stopped.
 Reich was a witness for Becker. On direct examination he exhibited a great friendliness for the accused [ and "a bitter hatred for the trio of gamblers whose confessions furnish ed the basis of the murder charge. When Ma. Mcintyre would cross ques- l tion the witness would snap back his answer every time before the Distrfct l. s.Attarpeye could. make.-an sshiect tI tess This caused much delay by the ~ne- oessity of waiting while improper tes- timony was being stricken from the records.
 On cross examination Reich was more like wild man than like q sane witness who was willing that the lawyers get at the truth. When any reference was made to the charge that he was an accomplice to the crime, he would wave his arms and shout:
 "The District Attorney knows had no more to do with that murder thar his own little baby.''
 It was plain that Reich relished the idea of being considered an important witness in the Becker trial When brought in from the pen, he nodded and smiled at many persons. In an- swer to questions by Mr. Mcintyre he said he had known Sam Schepps for about IS years and had been ac- quainted with Becker for about elev- en years. Concerning the events of July b, he said he and Becker and a newspaper reporter had attended a fight at Madison Square garden and that afterwards they had gone in Becker's automobile to the Pennsyl- vania station where the reporter, who was en route to his home in New Jersey, left them. Becker, he said, left him at Forty-second street and Sixth avenue, at 1:15 a. m., going up- town. He said he didn't see him again until the next day in MT. Hart's office. The witness told of going up to The srostrate body of Herman Ros- enthai. He said he had not observed ilLewis Krause, the peoples witness, sswhn testified that Sullivan was pres ent al Ihe time of the shooting.

amount of space devoted to the vice prob

prominent is the dance hall A great

Comparisons, we are told, are odious,
but the conclusions to which they some
times lead are anything but odious. In

public dance halls; that is, halls that can
