ing yesterdays reconstruction Of the
crime by Daniel B. Maher, assistant
United States Attorney.
He called the jurors attention to
the fact that the two bullets, both
of which struck Mrs. Boyer's left ear,
would have had to be fired by the
left hand of a man in the described
position.
Mr.. Hughes pointed to the defend
ant and reminded the jury it had
seen him writing with his right hand
all through the trial.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough will
instruct the jury of three women and
nine men this afternoon and give
them the case.

the prosecution, yesterday after
noon read to the jury the courts

The judge usually personally
charges the jury on these points of
law, but Justice Goldsborough said
he would have the opposing lawyers

be able to attribute any attitude to
the court regarding them.
The jury was charged that intent
to kill was not necessary for verdict
of f1rst-degree murder; intent to rob
was enough If they believed that

NEW YORK, June THE city
OF Berlin, lying dead and unburied
under the sunlight, is a somber re-
minder of what another war will
mean to cities" Drew Middleton OF
the New York Times said in a dis
patch from Paris after his return
yesterday from a trip to the Ger
man capital as a representative OF
the combined American press.
THE end Of Western urban civili-
zation is no longer an empty phrase,
but terrible fact already within
the grasp of mankind" he added
continuing:
"Be.lin, even though 1t Is only an
earnest of what the next war may
bring Is a shocking sight. There is
an atmosphere Of death and decay
unlike that in any other heavily
bombed city and there is an empti-
ness on the faces of the people
totally unlike the expressions OF
Londoners during the blitz OF 1910
or of the people of Frankfurt, a
heavily bombed city. today.
Makeshift Repairs Made.
THE Russians have tried to bring
some order out Of the chaos of Ber-
lin. They have succeeded in push
ing away most OF the debris of the
more important streets-it lies ches,
high on others; in starting bus anc
trolley lines In some of the outlying
sections and in repairing the water
supply in some areas. But what has
been done is merely makeshift, as
water pipes lying on the pavements
testify.

apply when measuring the destruc-
ton in other cities cannot be ap-
piled to Berlin.
Rubble Piled High.
For one thing, in many sections
it is not question Of craters or
shattered houses, it is merely one
of the height Of the hills of rubble
These enormous pyramids of red

Those areas that appear only
partly damaged from the ground
are revealed as heavily damaged
from the air, for there is nothing but
space behind the walls. Bomb
blasts have dumped floors into Gel
lars and blown off the roofs of
buildings. Near Tempelhof airfield
there is long row of apartment
houses seemingly in fair shape from
the outside but empty from the
inside.
There IS a peculiar feeling that

worst damaged parts of Berlin. AL

These people are living on meagel

water and no hope of getting new
manufactured goods to replace those
that they have lost for many months

"Berliners are eager to talk to
Americans. A colonel who stopped
his car Tuesday to inquire his way
to the airport was surrounded by a
swarm of people who came shutting
out of cellars and novels made from
bits of debris.

March 5 Che was to play 81 limit stud
poker that night in Mrs. Boyer's
apartmenD, that he went from his
room at the Hotel Annapolis with a
topcoat which ne sold to Jack Ten
dler, operator of a pawnbroker's ex-
change at 9l3 D street NV, for $6
The assistant prosecutor referred
to written statement Medley had
made to FBI agents in st. Louis
that he had returned to Mrs. Boyer's
apartment about am. after put
ting the last of the woman poker

Mrs. Boyer downtown for break

why were all the lights on In
the apartment when the manager
entered it and found Mrs. Boyer's
body with two bullet holes through
the head?" asked Mr.. Maher. Does
that sound as if she had come home
at $50 am?"
Mr.. Maher referred to testimony
that it had been cold in the apart
ment on the night of the game and
that the stove had been lit. The
door Of the stove was open. but the
gas was turned out, he reminded
the jurors.
Picking up from the exhibits the
stained scarf found twisted about
Mrs. Boyers neck, he said:
While she was turning out the
gas in the stove, could he not have
looped this scarf around her reck
and strangled her before he shot
her? You remember that the coro-
ner testified that there were hemor-
rhages caused by partial stangula-
ton"
Story Is Outlined.
Mr.. Maher leaned over and looped
the scarf around an imaginary figure
in front of him.
Mr.. Maher continued, without
raising his voice, to outline the
story as told by the witnesses: The
failure to find $500 Mrs. Boyer had
placed in desser drawer; Medleys
sale Of Mrs. Boyer's emerald and
diamond ring in Pittsburgh for $3.50;

partment store sa1eswonan in st.

March 18.
The man who sold his topcoat on
March S for s6 had SITS on him, -
Mr. Maher said.
His conclusion was:
IF you are not satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that the Govern
ment has proved murder, in Heav-
ems name bring in a verdict of not
guilty as fast as you can. If you
believe the Government has proved

whose air force had contributed so
much to the destruction OF their
city.
TT does not matter much whether
particular building or a particular
section is damaged. The destruc-
ton of Berlin as a whole is so great
that it transcends the condition OF
any one of its parts.
Yet, oddly enough, the devasta-
ton produces only awe of mans
destructive power and fear for the
future rather than any regret for the
city that has gone. Berlin, broken,
cold and silent, is an indication of
what the future may bring to the
western world, but in Berlin no
tears are shed for the city. and its
death is not mourned in the vorlG
