If you believe a witness has testified falsely in any particular, yon are not bound to receive the whole of his testimony." Justice Goff then got into th- vital issue. IL continued in pun as fol lows: First Degree Or Acquittal. “The true issue in this ca>e, and be cause of its truth the supreme issue, is the guilt or innocence of this defend ant, and all testimony must bear di rectly upon this. The charge against the defendant is murder in the first de gree. and it is required by law that I read you the statute covering that charge." Justice Goff then read the statute de fining first and second degree murder, tie said ho would read the law covering the two degrees of manslaughter, ii counsel for the defendant wished, but Mr. Mclntyre rejected the offer. Jus tice Goff then explained the difference in murder in degrees as regards design and premeditation. He said that if the iurors were convinced that Becker had plotted the murder of Rosenthal and If he had reiterated a desire to have Rosenthal killed, this would show pre meditation and a verdiet of murder in the first degree would be in older. Then the court put the whole burden of the prosecution’s case on Jack Rose.

"If tiie jury does not accept the Rose story, then this defendant can not be con victed. "Tlie proposition upon which the prosecution relies follows: “Becker, about the latter part of June, told Rose and Webber that lie wanted Rosenthal killed; that he fol lowed that by subsequent conversations, each expressing urgency that Rosenthal should be killed. “If Becker Ordered Killing. He’s Guilty.’’ "That involves, first, that Becker die express suclt desire and give instruc tions to Rose. Secondly, that Rose acted upon these instructions and pro ceeded to have these orders executed. And. thirdly, that under Rose’s direc tions and instructions was carried out the killing. "If it bo true that Becker gave Rose such instructions. I Instruct you that Becker constituted Rose his agent, and. in carrying out the design of tin de fendant. whatever Rose did Becker, In the eyes of the law, did with him. In other words. Becker selected Rose as his instrument, it matters not wheth er those who committed the crime were selected by Becker or whether he had i any communication with them or had ■ uny knowledge of their selection. It you are satisfied that Becker directed Rose to have Rosenthal killed, it matters lit tle what took place in tlie business of making tlie selection, so long us Rosen thal was killed. The two chief ques tions are: “First, that Becker told Rose that lie wanted Rosenthal killed “Second, that Rose employed certain persons to kill him. “Upon these propositions tests the ease of the people.

At 1 o’clock the convention adjourned to a luncheon served in the main Audi torium by the City Federation of Wom en's Clubs. Guests of honor at the luncheon were 100 college girls, who occupied seats at tables decorated in college colors and pennants. The seitans represented were Wesleyan, AgnX> Scott. Washington seminary, Brenau, Woodberry and Cox. and the scores of girl students in dainty gowns formed a picture not easily forgotten. The convention holds its last sessions this afternoon and tonight. There is no election of officers scheduled for this year, the state officials holding for two year terms. brought out. as yvell as the cardinal fea tures of the testimony of Becker’s, wit nesses. Further along in his charge. Justice Goff barred out the contention of the defense that Sam Schepps was a co ! . onspirator yvith Rose, Webber and Val lon, saying: "I don't find anything that would jus tify a judge, as a matter of law, in saying that Schepps was a conspirator. There is evidence that Schepps had con nection with these men after the mur der; that he aided and counselled Rose; that he was concerned in the pay ment of money sot the murder. “Anything that Schepps did after the crime yvas committed would not make him an accomplice, because, in order to be an accomplice, a person must have either direct or indirect connec tion yvith the crime itself or be con nected yvith it. "Being an accessory after the fact can not make him a principal in the j crime. I think, therefore, it is a ques ; tlon to be left to you as a mutter of fact." Then Justiei Goff declared that Rose, Vallon and Webber were accomplices by their own admissions on tlie stand. Justice Goff considered the statute on corroborative evidence so important that lie read it over twice to the jury, following it with tills comment: “I have decided that there Is evi dence which tends to connect this de fendant with the crime and there is evidence in corroboration of one or all of tlie accomplices, but, gentlemen. It is foi you to say whether such corrobo rating evidence is sufficient to connect | tlie defendant with tlie commission of I the crime.” The state gained another point yvhen Justice Goff made this ruling: "I instruct you that even If Rqse, Weiibe . nd other persons were hostile to Rosenthal and even if that hostility was so intense as to engender expres sion of hatred, that condition or situa tion would not excuse Hecker for avail ing lilmsc'c () f such hatred to; hie own uses hinl purposes" CANDLER VETOES i CLUBS’ LICENSES Acting Mayor Sends Entire Matter Back to Council for Reconsideration.

I Atlanta Still In State of Georgia. "The city* of Atlanta is a pari of the territory* of the state of Georgia. The laws of the state of Georgia are or ought to be enforced in this city. The penal law made for the state to govern the people of Georgia Is made as much to govern and control the actions of the citizens of the large city as It is made to control those of the citizens of the smallest hamlet in the state. There can not be laid down a general rule of con duct for one citizen of the state that is not applicable to every other citizen. I do not believe that one club who may be violating the law should be refused a permit when others who are subject to the same laws are violating them and are yet granted permits. Ido not wish to suggest to the general council, and I expressly* disclaim any Intention of doing anything, the end of which will be the granting of permits to all j the clubs, if to any, but my purpose is simply* to ask the general council to carefully Investigate each and every I one of the so-called locker clubs operat ing in the city. "Such clubs as are operating in con formity with the penal laws of the state' and in accord with the locker club laws of the state should be, each and every I one, granted permits. Such clubs as are not strictly complying with the laws of the state should be refused permits. If this rule closes every- locker club in the city*, so be it. If it opens every one, so be it. Respectfully submitted, “JOHN S. CANDLER, "Mayor Pro Tern., Acting Mayor." Councilmen Hit in Injunction Action On the charge that the city govern ment has been guilty of discrimination, | every member of the city council will be called upon to answer certain perti nent and personal questions under oath tn superior court if the injunction suits I brought before Judge Bell today by two discredited locker clubs are sustained on November 16, the date set for hear ing. In considering the suits of the Geor gia Athletic club and the Knights of Mystic Ark, in which councllrnen are asked to state to the court their rela tions with various other clubs granted permits, Judge Bell authorized a tem porary order restraining the entire city government from Interfering with the affairs of the two organizations until the case could be heard. This means that these clubs have at least three weeks of grace, despite any action council, the chief of police or the mayor may take. Morris Macks and Gober & Jackson, attorneys for the two clubs, said this i afternoon that Hill & Wright and Alon i zo Field, acting for the Order of Bees 1 and the Southern club, the other two organizations refused permits by coun cllmanic action, would tile similar suits late today. Members of council ■ will be accused of discriminatory* and ■ arbitrary action and their connection with other locker clubs demanded. * The list of questions submitted to the * court to be put to the councllrnen on * November 16, if allowed, are intended to develop sensational testimony and make public conditions in practically every locker club in Atlanta. i These questions will be hurled at the . councllrnen: . What locker clubs did you belong to during October, 1912, when locker club I applications for locker club licenses * were submitted to the city council? Did you resign from any* locker club * prior to the action taken by council; if > so, what club? Are you an officer in any locker club ■ in Atlanta or financially interested in ■ any* club now or at that time? In what way are intoxicants sold in the locker clubs which were granted permits? Have you ever taken a drink ■ In any Atlanta club, and if so, how was It served ? Did you get it from a locker ■ or not? What do yon know about the con ditions in the locker clubs that you re- ■ fused to license? How do the condi tions In these clubs differ with the con- i dition in other clubs?

Determined To Be Last Mexican War Surviv or OLD SOLDIER SEEKS PRIZE I | “I am 87 years old. and I'm good for 33 more—that’ll make me 120. won’t it?" said Judge J. J. Martin, as he sat in Postmaster Hugh L. McKee’s office this afternoon. He had come to tell of his trip to | Washington, where he attended the an nual meeting of the "Aztec club,” or ganized by the young officers who danced in the halls of the Moiitezumas the night after Mexico City was occu pied by American troops in 1847. But three of the men who danced that night are left, says Judge Martin, and now the club is composed of the de scendants of those men. General Gib son. General Buckner and Judge Mar tin alone survive of the club, which was once headed by Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, then young captains, afterward opposing leaders in America's greatest war. Judge Martin says he is going to live until he Is 120, because he" wishes to get the silver urn now held by the leg islature of South Carolina. That urn was presented to General Andrew : Jackson for his gallantry at the cap- I ture of New Orleans in 1812. When 'General Jackson died he willed it back to the women of South Carolina, who were the donors, and asked them to present it to the most gallant soldier from South Carolina fighting in the next war. M iien the Palmetto regiment from South Carolina went to the Mexican war it numbered 1,100 men, and but 320 were alive when it returned. Judge Martin was one of the 320, and now but two others besides himself survive. The women were nonplussed, for they could not decide which was the most gallant. They* finally turned the urn over to the CHATTANOOGA UNIVERSITY GETSS3SO,OOO ENDOWMENT CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Oct. 24. The success of the campaign to raise $200,000 for the University of Chatta- I nooga, in order to render available a donation of $150,000 by the general edu cation board of New York city, was announced at a conference of the cam • paign leaders.
