BECKER At WORK
PREPARING APPEAL
Convicted Man Spends Hours
With Legal Documents on
Quiet Sunday.

NEW YORK, May 25.-In the pre-
paration of his appeal from the YER
dict of guilty on the charge of having
fnstigated the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, much of the routine work
will be done by Charles E. Becker.
Already Becker has prepared notes
on a mass of papers left with him
by his counsel.
The rule forbidding prisoners in
the Tombs having Sunday visitors
left Becker uninterrupted yesterday
and he spent several hours going
over legal documents. Before next
Friday when he appears before JUS
tice Samuel Seabury for sentence,
Becker hopes to have the ground
work of his appeal far enough ad-
vanced for his lawyers to take up his
fight for a third trial without delay.
Becker is especially anxious for a
quick review by the Court Of Ap-
peals, of his second conviction, and is
said to have expressed pleasure at a
recent ruling which provides that
trial minutes may be submitted in
appeals instead of narrative of the
evidence. Becker hopes to have his
case ready for argument not later
than next October.
Martin T. Manton, chief of the
Becker counsel, and his associates,
and District Attorney Charles s.
Whitman, spent Sunday recuperating
from the strain of the trial. On
their return to the city today, it was
said that both sides would begin
work on the case, Mr.. Manton on
the appeal for new trial, and the
district attorney on features of the
case growing out of the testimony of
several witnesses. On the result of
Mr.. whitman's investigation 1t was
intimated today that prosecutions for
perjury might be expected.

GUNMEN SOUGHT
( FOR MURDER OF
FIVE IN NEW YORK
Pistol Battle in Hell's Kitchen
eliminates Series of Gang
Fights.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Gang killers
whose battles both on the east and
west sides of Manhattan resulted in
the murder OIL five men, the fata
wounding of three and the injury OF
many more, were sought by the po-
lice today after the outbreak of dis
order had eliminated in bloody
street fight in Hells Kitchen. Twen-
ty-five suspects were gathered in by
the police. They spent last night
vainly seeking for those whose blood
spattered the payements after the
Hel's Kitchen affray Every man
hit was spirited away and today all
had evaded the searching detectives.
Twenty mel firing promiscuously
filled the street at Ninth avenue and
West Forty sixth street when that
hattie broke out. They were the
members of the Hells Kitchen and
the Stry,ar RS Farm bands. Hundreds
of the u yellers in tenements there
fed in terror when the battle began
and seveal women and children mar
rowIy eycaped the flying lead. The
rattle IL pistols was heard In the
West Forty-seventh street police sta
ton, list a block away, ana reserves
were Hustled around the corner Be
fore tiey arrived, however, the feud
was q Ter, the gunner had scattered
and on'y few pools of blood on the
paving stones showed that some OF
the bullets went home.
The second outbreak came at a
dance in Abingdon Square, mile
lower down the West Side. In the
hall the Hudson Busters" notori-
GUS band, were entertaining when the
"Gophers," a rival crowd, sent spy
into the hall to see what was going
on. He was Frank Hillock. Recog-
nized as a Gopher" Hillock fled, re-
ceiving a bullet behind the ear. Later
he was taken to the New York Hos
pital. There. although he was dying,
Htllock refused to. say a word of who
shot him down. remaining true to the
ethics of the New York gunfighter.
When police backed two patrol wag-
ons up to the doors of the dance hall
no one could be found who knew any,
thing of man being shot. An empty
pistoi, freshly discharged, was found
in a hall and twenty-five of the gang
sters and their women were taken to
fine police station. Today they are
heing "sweated" for a clue.
Stabbings on the West Side, three
shot to deaf hand one suicide on the
East Side filled out the toll of the
gang trays for the Sunday holiday.

With largely increased force of
men, the work of verifying the names

today IN the department of elections
in the City Hall.

by the clerks on Saturday, it is esti-
mated that within three days or by

proceedings will then begin.
!. Then the clerks will set about to

OIL the original petitions with the
signatures in the poll books. No one
would venture an estimate on the
length of time this may take.
1t dawned upon the Commission
Government Leagues representatives
at the City Hall today that the work
would take a tremendously long pc
riod of time. and there were ali sorts
of suggestions and discussions as to
how the verification might be expe-
dlted. In the opinion of some of the
Commission Government Leagues
men, the card indexing plan should
be abandoned and the verification
should be made directly from the Pc
tition to the poll book.

Court OF oyer and Terniner before
Chief Justice William s. Gummere
just before Under-sherid James f.

empanelling a jury 70 try the four
men named in the indictment
Previous to the acceptance Of
Smiths plea of non vult by the chief
Justice. Henry II. Fryling. chief of
counsel for Armstrong. had made a
motion to quash the indictment as
against Armstrong, and quoted a case
of the State Bank of Trenton in 1927,
where it had been held that to obtain
money from a bank by means of
checks when there were no funds in
the bank did not constitute con-
spiracy. He said It was not unusual
for private concerns to overdraw
their accounts in banks and trust
companies.
Prosecutor Louis Hood contented
himself to calling the attention of

case cited by MIR. Frying a few years
after 1t had been decided. Chief JUS
tice Gummere then denied the motion
to quash the Indictment
Mr.. Fryling's next move was to ask
for a severance of the indictment SO
that Armstrong could be tried separ-
ately. He pointed out that a least
one of the codefendants, meaning
Raymond Z. Smith, but not naming
him, had pleaded non-vult and would
testify against Armstrong and also
that the defense of the other men
named in the Indictment, Jennings
and Thompson, would be of a differ

Chief-Justice Gummere also denied
this application, ruling that TO grant

granting of severance in every case
where conspiracy was charged. II
it is unfair to try Jointly it is alsC
unfair TO indict persons jointly, and
as no such contention is made l SCI
no reason for granting a severance.

ROOSEVELT WILL
VISIT PRESIDENT
At WHITE HOUSE
While in Capital overtures
Will Be Made to Colonel to
Return to G. o. P.
Especial to the Evening star.I

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Former
President Theodore Roosevelt will
"tel about it" to President Wilson
at the White House tomorrow after
noon. The President today let it be
known that he had invited the Sage
of Oyster Bay to have luncheon with
him, but Colonel Roosevelt discov-
cred that he would not have time.
He will, however, go TO the White
House before delivering his lecture
on his Brazilian discovery before the
National Geographic Society,
While it was announced the visit
would be one of courtesy, the very
fact that Roosevelt is going TO the
White House caused much comment
among politicians Roosevelt's al
ready avowed opposition to the ad-
ministratio policy on the Colom-
bian treaty had been expected to
stand in the way of a White House
call. The President extended an in
vitation, however, and it is possible
that as a result of the visit some OF
the Roosevelt opposition may not be
so forceful as it otherwise would be.
The visit of Colonel Roosevelt to
Washington has already showed all
etner issues into the UaShe4 Ounu.
While the colonel has announced that
he will not take up for serious con-
sideration political questions until
after his return from Spain, some po-
litical leaders here hope to get him at
least ta consider a plan of action for
the fall campaign.
One of these is Senator Lodge. OF
Massachusetts,. who has let number
of his friends know that he believes
Republicans and Progressives should
sing their animosity and combine for
the Con ressional campaign. Lodge
is expected to sec the colonel and put
his views squsrely up 10 him, Be-
cause of the friendliness between the
two. the suggestions Of Senator Lodge
are likely to have more influence on
Roosevelt than would those of any

that debates on the various motions
probably will delay action until to-
morrow, the day the Prime Minister
announced in his speech last week.
