 None At All

Becker Accounts for Money

New York, October 27.-Becker's se9,- zoo. which he says was all he and his wife had when Rosenthal was killed, was accumulated. according to the ex- policema today, as follows:
 s5o0o from Laura Becker, sister, be- tore she died.
 s15,000 from John Finnegan. friend of his wife. who died after giving her this amount.
 s5000 saved by Mrs Becker.
 $2500 Mrs. Becker's father gave her.
 5000 Becker himself saved.
 "All this money we had saved" said Becker Tt was withdrawn on July 80. from the banks where we deposited. That was the day after l was arrested" ]"
 Becker said Finnegan had been broughttup with his wifes family. and that the s15.00O had been given to her at different times, a few thousand dol- lars at a time 'She was a great pet of his." said Becker Finnegan. Becker added, had been taken i'll with heart disease in 1911. had been treated in n sanitarium which Becker named, and finally on July 30 of this year, fell dead while getting of street car. After his death he says, his wife was in formed that more property had been left her.
 Discussing Rosenthal, Becker said the gambler had a reputation for get ting the police into trouble.
 Knowing this, I would have been either insane or intoxicated if had made a friend of him, as Rose said l did There was not a single instance n Rosenthaps career where the police interfered that he did not get them into trouble" Becker mentioned instances of policemen whom Rosenthal had had arrested or "ousted' from the depart nent.
 Supplying what he considered another motive for Roses enmity against Ros- enthal. Becker said Rosenthal hired Charley Kelly, pugilist. to "do up Rose Kelly tried but got the worst of the encounter. said Becker. Kelly. however, gave Rosenthal the impression that the assault had been success.
 Regarding new trial Becker said the court of appeals lis only human; :; it is now only a case of railroading me to the chair"
 "GentIemen," he concluded, "I am cer- tainly up against it. am not asking for pity. but I should certainly like the public to learn through you that l am rot as black as I am painted.
