BECKER GETS
4 NEW TRIAL;
Court Of Appeals Gives Him
AnOtheL Chance For Lila
-FOUR GUANEA AUST DIE
Sentence of Alleged Potter Of Rosen.
thai Murder Was Reversed Because
Of Errors of Trial Judge.

The court of appeals, the highest
tribunal OF New York, granted ne"
trial to Charles A. Becker, former Leu
tenant of police of New York, who
was convicted of the murder OF Ee:-
man Rosenthal, New York gambler.
In reversing the lower tribunal the
court of appeals stood six to one, JUS.
tice Werner standing alone to uphold
the conviction.
The appeals of the four gunner,
convicted of the actual killing of Ro-
senthal, were refused and all of them
must die. Both Becker and the gum
men are in the death house at Sing
Sing, where they were taken imme-
diately on their conviction of murder
of the first degree.
The four men, who, 1t was charged,
were hired by Becker to do the k'''
ing, are Harry Horowitz, known a.
"Gyp the Blood" Louis Ro< en1er=;,
otherwise Lefty Louie" Fra"k c"
fict, otherwise "Dago Franh," " |
Frank Mueller, known in the
Side of New York as "Whitey Lewis
The four "gunmen" were con- re |
of shooting Herman Rosenthal to d. .ii
In front of the Hotel Metropole, No1
York, on the night of July 16, 1912. IL
was charged that Becker conceived
the murder and planned it through the
agency of three accomplices, chiefly
BALD Jack" Rose, who later turned
states evidence.
The appeal in Becker's case was not
only from the judgment of conviction,
but from the order denying motion for
a new trial. When the case was argued
in the court of appeals on Dec. l, Mrs.
Becker, the convicted mans wife, at
tended the sessions and listened atten'
lively to the arguments.
There were twenty-five legal points
in the appeal made for Becker. 1t was
the contention Of his attorney that
Sam" Sohepps, an important witness
against him, was an accomplice. The
evidence that he had interviewed
Becker at the latters home before the
murder was a fabrication, he main
tanned. 1t was contended that the tes-
timony of Schepps was not corrobora-
tive evidence within the meaning or
the law.
The reversal was based entirely on
errors held to have been committed
by Justice Goff, before whom Becker
was tried. The question of the weight
of evidence against Becker entered in
no way into the opinion, though 1t
was discussed.

Andrew was mean enough to leave

Andrew is a cuss with a diabolical
wickedness. He led trusting Mary
down to the City Hall and took out a
license to wed her. Then as she was
debating where they would carry the
license to put it into the only proper
use for licenses, Andrew complained
of huskiness in his throat and
stated ne would run across the street
and get drink.
And he never came back!
Mary waited patiently, then she
went home and waited some more.
But now she is peeved.-
She went down to the Court of Do
