gunman was executed in the electric
chair at Sing Sing prison for the part
ne played in carrying out the plot to
murder Herman Rosenthal. "Dago
Frank" in the so-called confession was
quoted as saying he had never heard the
name of Becker mentioned in connec-
ton with the conspiracy that resulted
in the killing of the gambler. Justice
seabury refused to admit testimony con-
corning the alleged confession into the
record.
He explained his action by saying that
thealleged confession had not been made
in AFFIDAVIT form and had not been made
10 anyone authorized to take deposit
aion from dying man.
Mr.. Manton of Becker's counsel said he
would make no further attempt to get
the confession in the record but intimat-
cd 1t would play an important part in an
application for new trial should Becker
be convicted a second time.
