BECKER LAYS PLIGHT

Vicious Attack" by Gaynor and
"GIaring Headlines" Preclud-
ed Fair Trial, He Says.
ASKS FOR A REHEARING
Attacks Weber and Rose, but
Says Little of Schepps-
Friendship for BALD Jack"
Business Necessity"

In his first sworn statement since he
was accused of the murder Of Herman
Rosenthal, Charles Becker replied yes
terday TO the evidence on which the
jury decided he was guilty of murder.
His affidavit was part of the papers
embraced in the grounds cited as the
basis Of motion for a new trial, notice
of which was served upon District At
torney Whitman yesterday by Becker's
lawyer, Joseph A. Shay.
Shay's motion for new trial is
scheduled for argument on May %. 1t
is returnable in Part / Of the Supreme
Court. but such motions are GUS
tomarily sent to the court Of original
jurisdiction. in this case Justice Goff's.
Becker's affidavit emphasizes first that
because Of the public clamor" a fair
trial was impossible.
The chief magistrate Of the city, the
Mayor of the City of New York" he
says. was the first witness, and that
gentleman made a vicious attack on
me and asserted that ! was head and
front OF graft in the Police Depart
ment."
The press made "glaring USE of the
Mayors remarks, Becker complains,
and he condemns the speed of the trial,
which he declares was prejudicial to his
interests.
Throughout the affidavit there runs a
but he makes only a passing effort TO
discredit the evidence of Sam
Schepps. Practically the only affidavit
directed against Schepps is that of one
Thomas Ryan. who states that he saw
Schepps holding open the door of the
murder car" and saw Schepps stand
ing on the running board when the car
moved away.
Four general bases for the motion fol
n new trial are cited. as follows: That
it is called for by newly discovered evil
dence; that the jury was separated
during the course OF the trial without
leave of the court; that the verdict
was contrary to law, and that the ends
OF justice would be furthered by new
| trial.
Becker sets forth I. he never met
Rose, Weber and WALTON in 42d street
during the early morning hours just
after the murder. and that he was
never socially intimate" with Jack
Rose.
My apparent frlendliness to him
was merely a business necessity,
says Becker. marking the words "busi-
ness necessity" by quotation marks. In
the next paragraph he denounces Rose
as a stool-plgeon, a spy and informer,

dixie, which separated the north en-
trance of Culebra Cut from Gatun
Lake, was blown up at $40 o'clock
this afternoon by an electric current
switched on by cable by President

The explosion threw two hundred feet
of the center of the dixie high into

cleared away, two thousand persons,
gathered on every side Of the dixie,
saw the water from the lake flow
rapidly into the lower level of the cut
just like a stream at point where
there are rapids.
The sight was not especially spec
tacular. because the difference of
levels between, the lake and the cut
is only six feet. the level of both be-
ing now ST. feet above the sea.
Another Charge of Dynamite.
Three minutes after the explosion
the effect of the rush of water was
apparent at the Cucuracha slide, the
summit of the divide. but the full
depth of water did not reach there
until o'clock Another charge OF
dynamite was exploded at 1870 on
channel of the canal to make a
trench several feet deep through
which the water can flow into the
north end of the cut and against the
locks at Pedro Miguel.
