NEW YORK. February 27.-Argu-
ments to be presented to the court OF
appeals in the effort to obtain third
trial for Charles Becker. the former
police lieutenant convicted for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal. the
gambler. were made public today in a
brief filed with the district attorney by
Martin T. Manton of Becker's counsel.
Becker's lawyers base their brief for
a third trial chiefly on the following
contentious and allegations:
That Becker's guilt was not estab-
lished beyond a reasonable doubt.
That his conviction was brought
about by newspaper clamor. the zeal OF
the prosecutor and natural desire OF
the actual murderers for self-presersa-
ton"

chief counsel for the commission, who
has conducted the inquiry. will pre-
sent similar statements. but it is inn
probable that the commissions find-
ings will be made known before Con-
gress is again assembled and the form
al report is made.
Henry U. Nudge, president Of the
Rock Island operating company, the
earnings of which were said In teS-
timony to be the only value behind the
panies, organized by the Leeds-R Reid
Moore group. which acquired control
of the Rock Island in 1901, was the
chief witness yesterday for the rail-
road.
Physical Condition Good.
His testimony dealt almost entirely
with the present physical condition OF
the system, which he declared to be
better than at any time in its history.
Mr., Nudge professed to have no per-
sonal knowledge of any of the trans
actions regarding the creation OF the
holding companies one of which Is now
in the hands of receiver. They were
organized prior to his taking ONCE
as president. he said. and his WORK
had been entirely with operation of
the system.
He corroborated other railroad Of
ficials who have declared that the UNI
DERIVING cause of the present financial
condition of the road was not any
financial manipulation. but decrease in
freight and passenger rates, mainly by
state commission rulings in eight
states and steady increase of wages
and other expenses of operation. Many
statistical tables tending to bear out
this statement were introduced by Mr..
Nudge and by Vice President John J.
