New York, May 2l.-The defense i'm
the trial OF Charles Becker for the
murder of Rosenthal rested shortly af-
ter II o'clock today.
The prosecution called but one wit

Scaburg will deliver his charge. This
will occupy about an hour and the jury
will then retire.
Defense Stronger This Time.

said to lead to victory than the Beck
