bothersome pieces 1of work on the
canal has just been completed. For
over four months. work has been in

Saddle, which was built to prevent
lGatun lake from running into. the At
lantic ocean. The dixie Is located
about twenty-n -nve miles north Of Gatun
and can only be reached by boats on
Gatun lake. At that point the surface
Of the lake reached. to within few
feet Of a low narrow ridge thru which
the waters might have worked their
way and thus washed a passage into
the Atlantic. s1-
To prevent this the dixie. or saddle,
thirty feet high and about 1900 feet
long, was constructed. During the
course Of the work about 1000 men
were employed, this great number be-
ing necessary because OF the preva-
lence of malaria It was the breeding
place for hordes of mosquitoes and
every man taken into the place was al :
most instantly affected, It Ii said that
every white man, who, worked on the
job was brought out OF the district on
q stretcher and unconscious. In spite
OF this. however, not a death occurred,

down the foreman's face as he an
nounced the decision and tears stood in
the eyes OF the eleven othe:' jurymen: !:

turned informers. had been furnished
by the new witnesses at the second

order of court Of appeals, that he be
given new trial.
Certain to Appeal.
An appeal, which is certain to be
made. will act as stay Of execution
giving Becker more than a year to live
and with it the hope of another re-
versal Of the judgment Of the trial
court.
Martin T. Manton, chief Of the Beck
er lawyers, announced that his appeal
would be based on the admission OF the
testimony of Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg
widow Of Lefty Louie" the gunman;
the ruling Of the court in refusing to
hear before the jury the argument on
the admissibility Of the 'Dago Frank

in the Sing Sing death house. These
letters were turned over to the prose-

They passed from Becker to the gun
men, it is believed, between the leaves
Of books Of the prison library, which
are permitted to circulate among the
prisoners condemned to death.
} Altho written in disguised hand the
district attorney believes they came
from Becker and he is holding them in
reserve for an opportunity to use them
as evidence against the convicted po-
lice lieutentant in the latter's efforts
to obtain a reversal of judgment from
