SAYS BECKER CASE
DEFECTS ARE MENDED
Whitman Expects Testimony Of
Rose and Webber to BE
COrrObOrated.
WITNESSES ARE GUARDED
Their Identity Is Known Only
to Prosecuting Attorney
and Assistant.
WITNESSES ARE GUARDED

The case OF the State against Charles
Becker has been mended at its weakest
point. the point particularly attacked by
the Court OF Appeals In reversing the first
trial conviction. corroborat!on by disin-
terested witnesses of the statements OF
Jack Rose and Bridge Webber that
Becker met them and conferred with
them just prior 10 the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal and at the times and places
specified by tn" informcrs
When Becker's second trial begins
Wednesday morning before Supreme
Court Justice Samuel Seabury. the Dis
trict Attorney and his aids hope TO be
better prepared TO connect the defendant
with the acts of the go-betweens. Rose
Webber and WALTON, and with the acts Of
the gunner than they Were in the first
trial. The defect OF the states case in
the former trial was the lack of proper
confederation Of the informers. But the
long interval between the trials has
worked to the advantage uf the District
Attorney.
In that interval the District Attorney
has obtained the necessary corroboraton
from men of good reputation.
Only two persons know the Identity OF
these witnesses. and they are District
Attorney Whitman and Assistant District
Attorney Delehanty, his chief aid IN the
forthcoming trial. The witnesses are be-
ing guarded night and day.

It's an Indian story, with scenes laid
in and about. Detroit, which in those

Girty the renegade, whose grave is al

tured, but is cast in a heroic role, which
historians say he amply deserves.
The Maid Of the Forest is a very
loveable and courageous woman, who
endears herself to her readers.
