eHE rapidly increasing Mexican
rebels along our international
boundary line, following re-
ports of rebels crossing the
line, and the recent act OF the
Mexican revolutionists in disarming
Americans in northern Mexico recall at
this time some interesting scenes along
our Mexican border, especially in customs
protection, extending from Baco Grande
through Palomas, GuZman and Juarez to
points more than 100 miles below Ell Paso
and on through Arizona-northern Mexi-
can border line.
Prior to and after the civil war the
United States has had minor border trou-
bles along the Mexican-TeXas border,
which has been kept down by the army
outposts, but the course Of the Mexican
revo,utionists since the downfall Of the
Diaz government in Mexico has been a
menace of constant international irrlta-
ton and annoyance as to the protection
of American citizens in northern Mexico.
the most OF whom are adherents of the
Mormon religion who migrated to the
state of Sonora, in northern Mexico. in
the sixties and seventies in order to have
more freedom in the enjoyment Of their
religion.

To Explain Deposits.

The matter of Beckers bank ac-
counts which have been uncovered by
District Attorney Whitman would be
satisfactorily explained at his trial, il
was said. 1t was pointed out that
many OF the accounts on the District
Attorneys list and in the lists pub
l;shed in the papers had been dupli-
Gated to make the large total. II
would be shown that many OF Becker's
deposits had first been placed in one
bank and afterward transferred TO a
savings bank or other institutions
where better rate of interest was OBJ
tainable. The original deposit and the
transfer had both been taken into ac-
count In making up the District Attor-

I'm one instance il will be shown BY
the books and records Of the broker
that Becker made $1,000 within eight
weeks in a most reputable venture"
said one of his lawyers.
The story of Rosenthars troubles,
according TO the line which the defence
expect to follow, began year ago.
when he first had serious falling out
with Sam" Paul, the proprietor of the
Sans Souci Hall, and said To be an i'm
portant factor in the East Side gam
bling fraternity. Rosenthal at that
time was friendly with Becker, TO the
extent that he turned informer against
Sam" Paul and other East Side gam
blers, and appeared to be a useful man
TO the strong arm" squad, OF which
Becker was the head
At the same time Rosenthal incurred
the deadly enmity of many Of the
smaller gamblers. who suspected that
he had "squaled" on them, the defence
will show.

Confined to Murder Charge.

we are concerned solely with the
defence OF Becker on the charge OF
murder" said one of his lawyers.
Like any other citizen charged with
crime. he is entitled TO the presump-
ton Of innocence until found guilty by
a fair and impartial jury Of his peers.
There has been no call to speak for
Becker, as any explanation 10 the
, charges material to the issue in the
case would fall on deaf ears. The real
issue involved-the charge that he is
the instigator Of the murder OF Rosen-
thal-has been befogged in the public
mind by the irrelevant charges OF police
graft that have been made indiscrimi-
nately.
"It has been better policy 10 say
nothing until the tide turns, as 1t Is
bound TO do. When tho proper time
comes VIC will strike where the blows
will tell most and reveal plot Of the
underworld, OF which Becker had no
knowledge. which transcends anything
found in tho Italian Camorra- Instead
OF being the instigator OF the murder,
as is now charged, we will show that
he knew no more about the killing OF
Herman Rosenthal than the average
citizen on the street.
We expect 70 prove that some OF
the meanest and lowest members OF
the gambling fraternity have banded
their efforts to drag Becker who has
been their worst enemy. into the snare
OF foul murder plot, which was con-
ceived and executed by these same men
in a spirit OF class hatred and revenge
on this man Rosenthal who threatened
the structure Of their crafty livelihood
through an inordinste ambition to act
AS irformer and boast of power and
influence with the police which he never
had.
1T may be that these mon did not in
tend to murder Roscnthal at the time
and I'm the dramatic fashion in which
he was killed, but their plotting to get
him beyond the reac,; OF the authorities
led to the crime, nevertheless.

Only Stool Pigeon.

Bald Jack" Rose at that time was
said merely TO be acting as a stool
pigeon for Becker. and the defence will
undertake to prove that he never acted
i'm any other capacity for Becker, but
that he tried to graft" on his own
account, and when he couldn't make 1t
go he began TO foster a spirit Cf hatred
against the police lieutenant.
The defence expects to start With the
premise that Roses story duplicating
Becker In the murder Of Rosenthal is
tissue Of lies, and TO introduce the
testimony Of witnesses to prove IL.
After the first murder plot against
Rosenthal fell through, Rosenthal was
inclined TO accept the offer Of $4,000
made to him by the gamblers who
were anxious to get him out of the
Jurisdiction Of this state, but afterward
decided that it looked so much like
ready money that he would stand
out for more, according TO information
In the hands of the defence.
The defence intends to show. il was
said, that this stubborn" attitude Of
Rosenthal greatly incensed the gun
men who had been in on the earlier
plans TO plug" the gambler, and when
the kidnapping plot was conceived
these same gunner were hired To carry
It out, with the result that one Of them
l. H., h. %
Rosenthal had even consented TO th2
kidnapping" il would be shown, when
the first $1,000 was offered him, to
give some apparent excuse for his sud
den departure when he knew he would
be wanted under subpoena from the
District Attorney When he raised his
price IL was decided TO carry the plaa
out, anyway, and send some of the
gunmen with him TO Montreal to SEE
that he remained out of the jurisdc-
ton, It was said
The defence is said to have wit
ness who heard enc of the gunmen say
as Rosenthal came out of the Metro
pole:
"I'll plug the squealer. anyway"
The whole weight of the defence will
be thrown to show that the murder
was the outcome of the hatred which
the East Side gamblers had fostered
against Rosenthal for his previous acts
of informing the police, and which was
intensified by the disclosures he made
a few days prior to his death. it was
said
