LITTLE NEWS OF OPERATIONS

Paris, Oct. 2N.-The governs

They drove the Germans from

Similar successes. each a slight adj

perceptibly, their grip on the Hills

Charles Becker Refuses
to- Comment on Execution

New York. april 13.-Charles $.
Becker was the most watched prisoner
in the Tombs yesterday. Every pris-
oner wished to know how he had
taken the decision of Justice Goff that
the gunner could not have u new
trial.
Becker himself said nothing. He
went through the usual routine and
took his exercise, attended services
and went to his cell. His face was
drawn. his lips bit closer together,
but to those who watched him he gave
no outward evidence of his thoughts.
There were no visitors except news
paper men. To these he refused to
comment on the decision of Justice
Goff or the approaching death of the
four gunmen who Rose, Vellon,
Schepps and Webber say, carried out
his orders to slay Rosenthal.
Last night he was in bed at 10
O'Clock. Becker read the papers
eagerly all day yesterday, scanning
them carefully for any straw that
might help his own case when he is
again placed on trial.

its body until it reached that point
without being bent. The wire prob
