made 10 the A r G medators, who now

Big Day for Prosecution.
Yesterday was a big day for the
prosecution The added strength to
the case against Becker over that pre-
sented by the people at the first trial
began 10 show. Beyond the shadow
cast over the defendant by the doll-like
wife of the dead Rosenberg lurked an
other foreboding influence in the testi-
mony Of George II. Young, formerly
secretary to George Dougherty, Second
Deputy Police Commissioner under
Rhinelander Waldo.
Young almost clinched the contention
of the prosecution that Becker made no
effort to apprehend Rose when he knew
the police and the District Attorney
were looking for him after the murder,
and when he CBecker) also knew that
Rose was in hiding at the time in the
home Of Harry Pollok.
Young testified that when Rose was
at Police Headquarters, the day he
gave himself up and Becker had seen
him in Doughertys office with the
Deputy Commissioner and Inspector
Hughes. he met Young outside in the
corridor OF the building and said:
Il am glad they got Rose. | was
Just going up and tell the Deputy Com
missioner all | knew about Rose and
see il they couldn't get him"
The prosecution contends that this
was practically a guilty admission of
knowledge OF Roses wherea bouts and
that Becker was trying TO cover" him
self after he realized that Rose had
turned on him.
