New York, May 22.-Justice
Seabury began his charge to
the jury in the Becker case at
10 o'clock this morning. The
case was given into the hands
of the jury at 1925.
Justice Seabury read to the
jury several statutes dealing
with crime of murder, to show
that in law a man who procured
or aided in the commission of
murder is to be considered a
principal.
''If this defendant" he went
on, "either directly or indirectly
procured the murder of Her
man Rosenthal, he is guilty as
charged.
THE state has introduced
both direct and circumstantial
evidence. The law does not
act upon circumstantial evi-
dence alone. 1t does act how
ever when some direct evidence
Is introduced. Jurors should
not disregard circumstantial
evidence alone. It does act
however when some direct evi-
dence is introduced. Jurors
should not disregard circumS
stantfaf evidence simply be-.
cause 1t Is such"
With the instructions of the
court, the jurors carried with
them the final pleas Of Martin
r. Manton, of Becker's counsel,
and District Attorney Charles
s. Whitman, the former asking
that no compromise verdict be
reached, but that the accused
former police lieutenant be ac-
quilted or condemned to die
and the prosecutors demand Of
a life for a life. A quick YER
dict is expected, many who have
followed the course of the trial
predicting that Becker would
know his fate within a few
hours, probably late today.

INVITATION IS
TO Be RENEWED
! Expected That Carranza
Will Be Asked to Have
a Representative
SUBJECT CREATES
GREATEST INTEREST
Mediators All Await Latest
News Regarding Move
By Constitutionalist

Washington, D. c.. May 22.-In
circles close to the Mexican situation,
I tt was definitely expected today that
within twenty-four hours renewed in
vitation will be extended to the consti-
tutionalists to be represented at the
Niagara Falls mediation conference.
Whether General Carranza would ac-
cept the invitation was not known but
it was positively asserted that should
he do so, it would be without declaring
an armistice or agreeing in any way
to check his campaign against Huerta's s
forces.
President Wilson discussed with the
cabinet today the reports received
from American commissioners Lamar
and Lehman at the Niagara Falls
Mexican mediation conference AS the
cabinet members assembled for the
regular semi-weekly meeting all Of
them reiterated expressions OF hope
that the peace negotiations would
bear fruit
Discuss carranza Affair.
Among subjects of particular inter-
est to cabinet members was the report
that the Mexican constitutionaltst lead
ers had decided to send representa-
tive to Niagara Falls. Though. 1t was
understood that the Carranza agent
would not go as party to the actual
mediation, the decision to send a rep
resentative who would inform the me-
diators of the purposes and hopes OF
the constitutionalists, was regarded as
encouraging for later negotiations,
should an agreement be reached be-
tween the United States and the
Huerta government. Further reports
Of progress Of the negotiations at
Niagara Falls we're received during the
night by president, but nothing was
made public as to the nature of the
dispatches.
Secretary Bryan before entering the
cabinet room said he had hoped that
definite word would be received from
Vice Consul Silliman before night. The
secretary had telegraphed American
Consul Hanna for official information,
regarding the reported fall Of Saltillo
into the hands of the constitutionalists.
The secretary suggested that II the fed.
erals no longer controlled Saltillo,
there SHOULD be no difficulty in bring
Ing Silliman out He was not certain
however, that Silliman still is there.
Mediators Await News.
Niagara Falls, Ont, May 22.-Con.
fronted with the announcement from
Washington that the constitutionalists
were planning to send a representative
here, the mediators as well as the Am
erican and Mexican delegates awaited
with much interest today some definite
word as to his mission.
Until the exact purposes Of con-
stitutionalist representative here are
officially communicated to the media
tors they will be unable to determine
whether or not he can be admitted into
the negotiations A midnight confer
ence Of the three mediators and the
Huerta delegates discussed various
possibilities in this connection but no
conclusion was understood to have
been reached in view of the absence Of
definite information.
