There you go!" peevishly cried

"Yes, sir" was the meekful re-
sponse Of Willie, as he tried to scoop
up the sneezy commodity.
"As you disobeyed me-" continued
papa severely, Il have a great mind
to make the punishment ft the crime

LIEUT.. BECKER
GETS NEW TRIAL
Appellate Court Says He Diu
Not Have a Chance.
CENsURE FOR JUSTICE GOFF
The Court Decides That the Presiding
Judge IN the Court Below Mani
tested His Prejudice Against
Accused Officer.

Albany, N. Y.-The conviction Of
Charles Becker, a former New York
police lieutenant, of the murder OF
Herman Rosenthal, was reversed and
the convictions of the four gunner for
the same crime, was affirmed by the
Court Of Appeals.
Justice Goff, the court held, erred in
many of his rulings in Becker's trial
and appeared to be prejudicial in his
attitude toward the defendant. The
reversal was based solely on these
grounds. No attempt was made by the
court to say whether the weight Of
evidence against Becker was sufficient
to warrant his conviction. It was
pointed out, however, that the testi-
mony against him was given by wit
nesses of low class and as much of it
was open to doubt, he therefore, was
entitled to a fairer trial than he re-
ceiVed.
All Of the seven members of the
court, except Judge Werner, who acted
as presiding judge when the appeal
was argued, concurred in the prevail
ing Becker opinion, which was written
by Judge Hiscock. In a dissenting
opinion Judge Werner said that the
main contentious of the State had been
amply proven to warrant conviction.
The much-mooted question as to the
status of Sam Schepps, whom the jury
In the Becker case decided was not an
aecomplice to the crime, still is I'M
settled. The prevailing opinion merely
said that there was doubt in the minds
of some Of the court as to the propriety
of excluding Schepps as an accom-,
plice.
The decision in the case of the four
gunner, Gyp the Blood, Whitley Lewis,
Dago Frank and Lefty Louis, was
unanimous. They had averred that
the evidence against them was in
sufficient to warrant conviction and
also that the court had erred in hand
ling their cases, but these contentious
were held by the court to be ground
less.
The HE edeetttee edeetttee feeE the execution of the
gunner will be fixed by the court with
in a few days. The death warrants
are in. the clerks Office ready for the
signatures of the judges when they de-
eide when the electrocutions shall take
place. The law provides that the date
of execution shall not be deferred more
than six weeks after the judgment of
conviction has been announced. The
Court of Appeals, however, usually
allows only five weeks to elapse. If
precedent is followed the gunner will
be electrocuted during the latter part
of March.
Judge Werner held that the convic-
ton should be affirmed because the
main facts tended to prove Becker's
guilt. He said that the fact that the
main witnesses were gamblers, Grim
inals, degenerates and murderers
should have nothing to do 18th the de-
cision. He said that thei was moth
ing to authorize the Court of Appeals
to invade the province of the jury nor
to decide in advance what must be
done upon another trial upon similar
state of facts"
