BECKER IS GUILTY
JURY FINDS POLICE OFFICER d.
RECTED KILLING OF HERMAN
ROSENTHAL.
FACES CHAIR FOR MURDER
Prisoner Near Collapse When Verdict
Is Returned After Eight Hours
Men Who Decide His Fate Sob as
They Tell Their Decision.

New York, Oct. 26.-Police Lieut.
Charles Becker was found guilty OF
murder in the first degree by the Jury
which has been trying him for insti.
eating the death of Herman Rosen-
thai, the gambler. The verdict, which
took the jury eight hours to reach,
was pronounced at 1902 o'clock Fri
day morning
Mrs. Becker, wife of the convicted
police official, was barred from the
courtroom when the jury returned
with their verdict. Seated in the corri-
dor outside, the dread news was
broken to her as gently as possible
She sat perfectly immovable when the
| messenger told her her husbands fate
Apparently stunned, she neither NOV
ed nor spoke. Then her eyes closed
and she apparently swooned. Friends
carried her away.
The verdict was a severe blow to
both the defendant and his wife and
counsel, all of whom had been conf
IDENTIFY looking for a disagreement at
least.
The last Juror had scracely gained
his seat when the same door through
which the arbiters of his fate had en-
tered again swung open, and Becker
himself stalked through. His face was
white His eyes swept about the
courtroom In an affrighted manner
and finally fell upon the Jurors. So
intent was he in studying their
countenances that he stumbled Just
inside the room and almost fell over
the railing.
The attending deputy sheriff caught
him and supported him within the rail
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon verdict" asked Justice
Golf. 1--WE have" said Foreman Skin.
ner.
How say you, gentlemen of the
jury?"
Guilty in the first degree" almost
whispered the foreman.
Becker's chest sank in with q sigh
that shook his whole fame. His
mouth twitched and all the muscles
of his face knotted In an anguished
spasm.
These 12 men-after eight hours
battling with their conscience having
pronounced the defendant guilty
turned from judges to sympathizers
and there was scarcely man of the
12 who did not falter and whose voice
did not catch with sob as he indi-
vidually recorded his belief in the
guilt of the accused man.
