He swore that he telephoned Becker

he said, came immediately to the I

"I remained with Becker until 8
o'clock the next morning," said Haw

Hawley's testimony contradicted
stories by Webber and Rose that Beck-
er met them on Forty-second street
after the murder and congratulated
them on Rosenthal's death.
Attorney Manton announced he ex

afternoon. This may mean that the

There may not be any confetti throw
ing during the last two days of the
