REMANDED FOR SENTENCE
OF DEATH ON OCTOBER 80
~[nstigator of the Killing of Rosenthal Does Not
Finch but Mrs. Becker Falls in Swoon at Door
of the Court Room-Mclntyre Will Take
an Immediate Appeal.

New York, Oct. 25-Pohce Lieutenant Charles Becker was
found guilty of murder in the first degree by the jury which has
been irving him for instigating the death of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler. The verdict was pronounced at - :O2 o'clock this morn
ing.
Becker was remanded for sentence to the Tombs by Justice
Goff until October 80.
Mrs. Becker, sitting outside the door of the court room, fell in
q swOon when the verdict was announced.
Becker did not finch when he heard the verdict pronounced by
Harold b. Skinner, foreman of the jury.
John F. Mcintyre. Beckers chief counsel. announced that he
would take an immediate appeal but added beyond this he had
nothing to say.
The twelve jurors. with solemn faces and measured steps. filed
into the court room five minutes before midnight. A minute later
The defendant was brought in from the Tombs. Justice Golf had
not yet entered the room and for a moment Becker took a side seat.
AS he waited he scanned with anxious eye the faces of the jur-
ors, but none of them returned his gaze. A tense silence prevailed.
