The following is what the Lincoln
Star had to say about the Washburn
Ichabods after their game with Ne
braska last Saturday:
''Trobert, captain of the Washburn
aggregation, is a second B~ickley as
far as the university field is con-
cerned. His punts. many of them for
distances ranging from thirty-five to
forty yards, were the best that have
been seen on the ground for many a
season. His ease and accuracy in
placing the ball mark him as one of
the best punters in the southwest.
AT times during the game the
Ichabods would play a brilliant game,
using the open plays many times to
their advantage. They executed sew
eral forward passes for gains from
five to eight yards. the like of which
have not been seen for some time in
Lincoln.
H. S. Bearg, a prominent young
business man of Robinson, Kan, ar
rived in Topeka Thursday and will
remain over to see tomorrow's game.
Mr.. Bearg is a brother of Elmer
Bearg, the famous Ichabod warrior.
and is an old football player himself.
Elmer Bearg will play in Saturdays
game for the first time this season.
Thursday afternoon, he tipped the
scales stripped at 1853 pounds. This
is about 10 pounds lighter than he
was last year, but he is putting on
flesh at the rate of two pounds day
and will probably reach his old weight
in a short time. Bearg Is one of the
Ichabods' most aggressive players.

Opposing Counsel Accused.

Mr. Whitman then went into the details
OF testimony, IN which he attempted 10
show that Mr.. Manton had misrepresented
testimony, He brought out that the in.
formers had testified not In so many
words. but essentially TO the same con-
versatIons and happenings, that they testl-
fed to in 1912. He attacked the testimony
ot Beckers strong arm squad. He ASKED
where John Hart was-Hart the man
whom Becker took right up to few feet
OF the place where Jack Rose was in hid.
ing Hart, who did give the initials ~. H."
He said the fact that Becker and Hart
went to see Rose was proof In itself that
Becker knew OF the murder.
Now, what I cannot make out" he
continued. us what the claim of the
defence Is. Talk about evil witnesses

possible for me to find a man as vile.
unholy and unspeakable as that mnn
tlschman. He was going to have us

Mr.. Manton objected to the remark. but
Justice Soabury overruled the objection.
Mr.. whitman went on to say that the
defence had not shown conspiracy AT
ALL and that II ,the Jury believed there was
a conspiracy 10 put the blame on Becker
ne. Whitman, was committing the
very crime that Becker has committed
consp!ring TO bring about the death of
an Innocent man.
He said that the charge was silly and
mat II was not even seriously argued az

the theory that Rosenthal was murdered
In a gamblers war. He said that Beckers
men were the ones who framed Zelig and
that Becker was blamed and not Rose

Tina nks to the Jurors.

As the hands OF the clock Indicated
four minutes past 2 Mr.. Manton, running
his fingers through his grazing hair and
giving preliminary tug to his coat
stepped forward To point squarely in
front OF Juror No. 3. bowed to the Judge
and began;
I'VE are about TO close this trial" he
said. I'VE are grateful for your close at
tention. This is not the time for forensic

ment OF facts. II In the course of this

case your own experience In daily life and
In business life
Speaking as one who was quietly utter
Ing condolences. who had determined to
stick to logic and not waste words on
sentiment, Mr.. Manton said that there
were some matters about which there
was no dispute. that Becker, for example,
was lieutenant OF police on special duty
when one thinks OF the attachments
that were necessary to bring him To that
rank and then considers the calibre OF evil
dence against him." he continued, you
can see for yourselves that this case reeks
of perjury. To say that Becker murdered
Herman Rosenthal is an affront to our
intelligence These degenerates gam
blers and perJurers have said that Her
man Rosenthal was killed under the very
nose OF the police. They tell you that
Becker hired four men to hire four men to
kill him. He was killed by four gunner
