FINAL EVIDENCE IS
PRESENTED EARLY

The morning session Of court was brief.
One witness was called for the defence
and Mr.. Manton then rested his case for
the defendant The prosecution called a
single witness In rebuttal. and Justice
Seabury adjourned court at HIS, after
announcing that both sides would sum
up before court adjourned last night.
Mr.. Manton was given the afternoon for
his final plea to the jury. and the court
announced that night session would be
held to permit District Attorney Whitman
to sum up for the people, beginning at
p. m.
Becker and his wife, who has been
constant court attendant at the trial
since 1t began, May s, appeared hopeful
of the outcome. Beckers lawyers as
serted that the peoples case had mot
been proven and that they expected an
acquittal. District Attorney Whitman felt
that the prosecution had presented a
much stronger case than at the first trial.
The opinion was squarely divided as TO
what the verdict might be. great many
were Of the impression that the jury
would be unable to agree upon verdict
and that the case would eliminate in a
mistrial.
Justice Seabury will charge the Jury
this morning. and the case will probably
be in its hands before noon. There is
scarcely anybody who has followed the
trial who does not believe that the jury
will be out for several hours. y quick
verdict either way would come as a
surprise to both sides.
Hartford IT. Marshall. associate counsel
for Becker, was the only witness called
for the defence yesterday. Mr.. Manton
examined his associate. Mr. Marshall
denied the testimony of Shapiro. chauf-
feur of the murder car, that he, Mar
shall. had tried to get him to testify
falsely as to what happened in the car
on the night of the murder.
Mr. Marshall also denied the implica-
ton of Weber on the witness stand that
he discharged Marshall as his counsel
because the latter was representing Jack
Sullivan and the Becker interests. He
said that he withdrew from the case
when Weber retained Max Steuer.
Did you ever ask Shapiro about Schepps
or Nallon being on the runningboard or
the murder carr" Mr.. Manton asked the
witness.
81 did not; nor did I ever suggest any
testimony that he should give at any
time"

request was called in rebuttal by District
Attorney Whitman to deny the testi-
mony OF Sullivan that the states wit
nesses enjoyed unusual privileges above
the other prisoners. 1t piqued Ryan that
Sullivan should say that the jail reminded
him of "a hotel" with almost all the
conveniences that go with the modern
hosiery.

DENIES HE TOOK BRIDES
Burke, Canal Zone Official,
Pleads Not Guilty.

John Burke, superintendent of the COM
missary department of the Panama Rail
Road, was arraigned before Judge Learn
ed Hand in the federal court yesterday
afternoon and entered a tentative plea of
not guilty TO the charge OF accepting
bribes from contractors selling supplies to
the government. He was released In
$4,000 bail and was given until June s
10 change his plea. His trial will proba-
bly, come next fall.
Burke was indicted May Is. and left
Colon for New York the same day. When
Frank L. Carstarphen, Assistant United
States Attorney. arraigned him before
Judge Hand Burke looked tired and worn.
He declined TO make a statement.
The government anticipates that Burke
will put up a strong fight when the case
comes to trial. The maximum penalty
is three years in prison on each charge
and there are three charges against him.

FREE BECKER OR DOOM HIM.;
MANTON OPPOSES COMPROMISE

Martin L. Manton, chief counsel for the
defence, began summing up the case for
the defendant at 2 o'clock and finished
three hours and five minutes later. 1t
was cool. calm. dispassionate address,
with only now and then an attempt TO
rise to a plane of loud acclaim In i'm
pressing some of the high points on the
jurors. Becker's lawyer did not try so
much to summarize the evidence as to
review it and discuss 1t in the light Of
contrast to the testimony given by the
few forceful, definite analytical conclu-
sions. His attitude seemed even to be
defensive at times.
II want no compromise verdict" he
said, in conclusion. This man is charged
with murder IN the first degree. I want
you to let this man go out into Gods free
air or send him to the electric chair. for
II you believe he committed this crime
that will be a merciful death for him.
We do not ask for sympathy. We leave
this mans life in your hands. knowing
that you will do your whole and con-
scientious duty. We ask you for a YER
dict OF acquittal."
When Mr.. Manton finished Becker sat
erect in his chair, squared his broad
shoulders and smile of satisfaction and
confidence spread over his face. He
looked happy, and he communicated his
hope to his wife I'm the courtroom with a
nod of approval. The Becker camp were
well pleased with Mr.. Manton's last ef-
fort.
Mr.. Manton denounced the peoples case
as "a case reeking In perjury" He at
tackled the characters of the Inform
ers." Rose, Weber and WALTON, merci-
lessly. He contended that they had

The two high points which Becker's
lawyer contended would create a 'rea-
sonable doubt" in the minds of the Jurors.
If no other evidence would do it, were,
first, the story OF the rugged witness,
Reich ("Jack Sullivan'). and the de-
fences disproving the alleged Harlem

Reich as one OF 'the strongest charac-
ters the city had produced in recent
years" He had stood stanchly for the

WHITMAN TO JURY MEN

to our very civilization itself. 1t was
not the gambler Rosenthal who was
killed, II was the man who offered MN
self to the people OF the state OF New
York as a witness who was murderer
He was killed because he was coming
to me in the service OF the people
Truth from Tainted Source.
Referring to the three principal VIII
nesses for the people, Rose. Weber ana
Vallon, whose characters were torn 10
shreds by Becker's lawyer in his sum-
ming up, Mr. Whitman said:
"A man is not necessarily lying De-
cause he is thief, or criminal or
gambler. or the lowest Of the lowest II
he can be made through hope OF
through fear, or through any reason or
any motive, TO tell the truth. we
have corroborated their testimony. you
have no right to discredit the state
rnents because they come from faint
ed source.
"Could I choose where to get the
truth? Is it for the miner TO PICK
out the particular rock where he Is
going TO get the gold? Aye, ne mas
got TO go where it is. and we nave hao
to go where 1t was, and it was down
in the underworld. 1t was down IN the
darkness Of sin and infamy and SHINE
and yileness, but 1t was gold just inc
same"
The District Attorneys one reference
n the fact that Becker did not take the
witness stand came out forcefuily at
this point.
Has any voice been raised on tha'
stand" he said, pointing to the empty
witness chair, ito contradict these
rats as Mr.. Manton has described
them, if you please? Don't you 'hlnh
it would be easy If it could be contra
dicted? Just think that over for your
selves"
The District Attorney dwelt upon the
propriety and the necessity of entering
into a stipulation of immunity with the
three informers in order to get them
TO testify. He dwelt on the fact that II
was done with the approval OF the
court. and he declared that il any real
evidence could be found to show that
these men did fire shot at Rosenthai'
or had not told the truth, which they
were bound 10 do under the stipulation,
he would prosecute them with all his
ability for murder i'm the first degree.
He took up point after point which Mr..
Manton had covered in the afternoon,
rejecting upon the evidence Of the
prosecution, and explained it away
from the point of view of the peoples
case.
Mr.. Whitman began his summing up 10
the Jury at o'clock. The courtroom was
crowded to the walls. Captain Lynch, OF
the court squad, had the doors locked
and no one was allowed TO 60 out or come
in during the long address. The District
Attorney began with thanking the jurors
for their careful attention TO the evil
dence presented by both sides, and SAID
that it had been his aim to put the evil
dence before them in fair and Impartial
manner.
