TO CALL POLICE TO
SHOW BECKER PLOT
State to Put on Stand Men Who
Were to Meet Him at Scene
of Conference.

NEW YORK. May 17.-Another sur
prise in the Becker case is planned
for tomorrow when the prosecution
hopes to prove the fact of the Har-
lem conference, named by the court
of appeals as the heart Of the con-
spiracy," through the mouths OF po-
ice officers and by official records.
Instead of having to depend upon
-tvIlian witnesses TO the alleged
Meeting of Rose, Weber, Vallon. and
Becker, which Becker denied, assert
ing that he was not in the vicinity
and daring the prosecution to spe-
city g date. the State expects to show
by two policemen that they had
intended to raid a crap Joint that
night and that they had been sent to
I24th street and Seventh avenue by
Becker's orders, Becker joining them
later.
Expects to Fix Date.
The district attorney realizes he
win be facing hostile witnesses, but
thinks he will be able to elicit the
truth from them by means Of police
records they compiled. And 1t is the
purpose to go further than to show
that Becker was at the place named
by Rose and his comrades. The dis
trict attorney names the precise date
at the end Of June. 1912. when he
asserts the conference took place.
The two policemen are under sub
poena. They will be sworn tomorrow.
n addition to them, the prosecution
mas found two men who stood in front

conference and are ready to swear
they saw four men talking-the four
being, according to the States con-
tention, Becker, Rose. Weber. and
Nallon.
