PRISONER IS BACK IN HIS CELL
Claims that the Statement by the
Court Was Unfair.
ATTORNEY WILL NOT COMMENT
Finding Must Be First or Second
Degree Murder.
NO MIDDLE GROUND IS LEFT
Guilt or Innocence Rests ON whether
or Not Sam Schepps Was am
Aceomplice to the killing
of Rosenthal.

NEW YORK, Oct. A.-Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker sat in his cell In the
Tombs tonight, while across the Bridge
OF Sighs in the darkened criminal courts
building twelve men struggled to de-
eide whether he was guilty Of the murder
of Herman Rosenthal.
The prisoners destiny was delivered
into the jurys hands this afternoon after
a three-hour charge by Justice Gofs.
which Becker characterized as distinctly
unfair and a thin veiled summing up for
the state" and upon which his counsel
John F. Mcintyre, declined to comment.
To do so. he said, would place him in
contempt of court.
Stripped Of Its legal verbiage, the charge
in effect was q ruling hat the guilt or
innocence Of the prisoner rested almost
solely upon the debatai point as to
whether Sam Schepps was an accomplice
to the, crime.
Dapper little Schepps, when arrested at
Hot Springs, styled himself the keystone
Of the arch. AS events transpired he
spoke truer than he knew.
The court was doubtful as to Schepps'
status and declined to guide the jurors
in decision. What the Judge did instruct
them to do was to return verdict Of
first degree murder. or second degree
murder or to acquit the defendant Man
slaughter was eliminated and no
compromise verdict was directed upon
las
BY far the greater part Of the courts
instructions dealt with murder in the
first degree, the penalty for which is
the electric chair. t.,
Keeps on Chewing Gum.
Flanked by counsel. face expressionless,
Becker sat chewing gum while the court
delivered the charge. Back of the railing
sat his wife, head bowed, eyes downcast.
The white-haired Justice spoke In mon,
otone, but with incisive deliberateness.
TT is not claimed by the prosecution
that Becker's hand did actually kill Ros-
enuhal,"" he said at q. crucial point
'It is claimed that he requested and d.
rected that the killing should be done,
eflu dS HdVe dreauy ltStuct Shc lusy
Becker, In law, must be held responsible
for the acts Of every one who acted in
pursuance OF his request or instructions.
"It is important here that should di-
rect you as to the law governing the
case now presented. where person Is
claimed not to have done the actual kill
Ing, but to have inspired 1t and instructed
It. Under the law Becker stands charged
with the commission Of the
crime of murder on the ground that ne
and advised It,"
The court added that the main witnesses
against the defendant were without doubt
and he so branded Rose, Val
lon and Webber. Schepps' relation he
would not define.

CHANGES IN CHARTER

Delegate Moncure and Senator
Thornton are to be congratulated upon
their work in passing through the.
legislature the three amendments to
the charter of Alexandria as recon-
mended by the City Council. The
changes are of vital Importance to the
city's affairs. che work of our rep
resentatives in the Legislature should
be all the more appreciated when it's
understood that the calendar is clog
ged with local bills from every Sec
ton of the state which cannot be con-
sidered at this session.
As the charter is now amended
every department of the city, with the
exception of the police, is under the
control of a committee Of council.

ITO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND

FORM AND PRESSURE"

The desire Of happiness is q con-
StiLucnt part Of the nature Of man,
cocval with his existance, and through
tho whole period Of his life insepfab]e
from him. The soIicitudc manifested
by men in pursuit Of happiness, and
The various means adopted by them,
for the attainment of their object,
indicate that the subject is involved
in considerable uncertainty. But as
God has imprinted upon the human
mind so clear an idea Of happiness
as to render the search after it uni
vcrsal, the thing must somewhere
have existence. a most natural en-
uuiry, therefore, is, in what does il
consist?
If a man were simply All animal,
there would be no question as to the
subjects necessary for his gratiiica-
ton and happiness. But the gratjti-
cations Of animal nature do not an
Swer this purpose. Though be could
stretch his arms like seas and grasp
in all the shore; though he possessed
all the honor, wealth and pleasures,
which the universe could bcstow, the
satisfaction derived from these things
is not adequate to the unboundcd crav-
ings of the mind.
Still disappointment mocks the ling
ring day,
Still newborn wishes lead the soul
astray.
And since the satisfaction is trans
tory and periShing, or we may DC
wrcstcd from it by death, the mind
breaks through the limits Of the pres
cnt enjoyments and ranges through
unknown scenes OF futurity, in quest
of some untricd good. at is the de-
mand of nature herself" says the ex-
ccllcnt Hooper" land what shall 90

else is wanting to give peace to the

fears and raise hopes beyond this

THE FORWARD MOVEMENT

AS has been announced, the Sur
prise. Theatek viii be the scene SuH-
day afternoon of a meeting Of the
members of different evangelical de-
nominations interested in the Mems
Religion Forward Movement. 1t is
believed the attendance will be large
and much interest manifested.
Tlis movement has extended prac-
tically throughout the country, and
in nearly every city and town people
are again turning their attention to
things spiritual. II has been nearly
two-scorc years since such a move
mcnt has shown any Roadway in the
world. Moody and Sanky were the
pioneers in the early seventies in in
ducing thousands Of non-church-goers
to assemble for the purpose of hear
ing the gospel story. The wave
spread to England, the opcn-air meet
ings i'm that country were attended
by thousands. At that time the news
papers devoted considerable space to
sermons, and the Journals of the larg-
or cities in their Monday issues gen
orally had pages Of sermons delivered
in different churches. 1t looks as
though those at the head Of the For
ward Movement are to leave no stone
unturncd to perpctuatc the work in
which they arc engaged, and in order
to accelerate their labors many have
temporarily laid aside their ccclesias-
teal preferences and united in the
spread of the gospel. Fourteen min
listers Of Chicago representing nine
different denominations, have decided
by lot the pulpits they will occupy
next Sunday. No pastor will occupy
his own pulpit and each will speak
on the same subject, Church Union.
The ministers term the exchange OF
'pulpits "shakcup." The object is to
bring about closer union between the
churches of the district. They have
formed an organization which is to
be known as the West Central Minis
tcrial Union On each Tuesday tho
ministers will meet for what they
term clearing house day" AT this
time the names of persons who have
expressed a preference for any par
ticular denomination arc handed to
the minister of that faith, who is ex-
pcctcd to look out for his interest III
the church indicated. All this argues
well.
