convicted of the murder of Herman
RosenthaL, gambler, made their final plea

viction of Becker from every possible
angle, while Mrs. Becker. wife of the con-
demned man. took careful notes of the
proceedings.

for new trial on the claim that Justice

tradicted the story of the four inform
ers, Jack Rose, Bridge Weber, Harry
