"What is the matter with Jack Rose and the bunch," Plitt quoted Becker as having said. "To pull the stunt the way they did was very bad.

Plitt admitted that he had been sued for the man's death. A typewritten statement by Plitt which was turned over to one of Beckers former lawyers, was read to the jury.
