could you see anything more perfect
Sullivan goes to the place where the
murderers were, TO the place where the
crime was committed, and when that man
was killed. Sullivan was standing there
within a hundred feet. And when he Is
dead. he leans over and looks into his
bleeding face.
lis there anything more perfect In the
chain of evidence? OF course. l charged
Sullivan with being murderer this
nobest product of the nation. Don't you
see how they give us the link. why the
case is infinitely strengthened by 'Sulli-

The District Attorney laid stress on the
testimony of Young. former secretary OF
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, which
showed that Becker had a guilty knowl-
edge Of Roses whereabouts when the
police and the District Attorney were
looking for Rose.
He accused Mr.. Manton with trying TO
deceive the jury by switching the reading
OF the letters between Rose and Schepps
when the latter was In Hot Springs SO as
to make 10 appear that Rose had received
a reply from Schepps tending to snow
that they were planning to frame up
Becker. Mr. Manton objected, but was
overruled Whitman declared that Rose
never received the letter In reply when
Mr.. Manton told the jury he did, and that
the letter was found later. unopened, In
the postoffice at Hot Springs.
The District Attorney said, in conclu-
sion:
The prisoner at the bar has been
proved guilty beyond the existence or
reasonable doubt, and the District Attor-
ney of New York County. on his oath OF
office comes to the men who represent
this county called upon in the name OF
the Almighty God to pass upon the EVIL
dence presented to them as honest men
and American citizens to say the truth.
To tell the truth, to declare the truth,
and as the evidence before you proves
that Charles Becker, lieutenant OF police
OF this city. indicted for the murder or
Herman Rosenthal. is guilty Of that muir
der in the first degree"
Mr.. Whitman finished at Il.20 o'clock.
Justice Seabury will charge the jury this
morning, and the case will go to the jury
by noon.
