FIND LIEUT.. BECKER GUILTY
Jury Holds That New York Police
Officer instigated the Murder
of Gambler Rosenthal.

New York.-Lieut. Charles Becker,
charged with procuring the death of
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree after the jury was out eight
hours
The verdict came only after most
protracted struggle among the jur-
ors, whose arguments at times rose
to such pitch that their voices were
heard in the street below the jury
room, on the ground glass windows
of which were silhouetted their fig
ures, angrily gesticulating.
Mrs. Becker, wife of the convicted
police official, was barred from the
court room when the jury returned
with their verdict. Seated in the
corridor 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 Meth
er moved nor spoke.

Orders were issued for the conven-

be presided over in all probability by
General Beltran, the commander of
