Pr. Philip G. Becker of No. 145 West 80th Street was acquitted last night by a jury in the Federal Dis- trict Court of the charge of violating the Selective Draft Law, by conspir- ing to furnish soldiers drugs to evade military service, The trial began Monday and the ehtet Government witness was Harry Walters, a former prizefighter and former national guardsman, who tea- tified that Dr. Becker had asked him to obtain money from aoldiers, and the medicines would be furnished at a cost of $300, Of this sum $50 w to be pald down and the remainder when the soldier received his dis- charge, according to Walters. James W. Osborne, who defended Dr, Becker, produced witnesses who testified they were in the physician's j office when Walters claimed the con- spiracy wan hatched. Other wit- nesses testified as to the doctor's good reputation, On the stand Dr, Becker emphaticaily denied all of Walters's story except that he had treated him several times.
