VAll0N DENIES KILLING
Says Former Police Lieutenant
Is 'Pretty Smooth" and
Tries to Prevent Gun
men COnfessing.

New York. Feb 25.-District Attor-
ney Charles S. whitman will not per-
sonally assume the responsibility of
letting Charles Becker go free on the
charge of numbering the gambler
Herman Rosenthal, it was learned to-
night. At least it was indicated that
the prosecutors present intention is to
move for second trial of the former
police lieutenant, whose conviction as
Rosenthars slayer was set aside by
the state court of appeals yesterday
1t was reported to-day that Mr.
Whitman, feeling that he could not
secure second conviction, owing to
the wording of the higher courts rul
ing concerning evidence presented at
the first trial, planned to seek Beck
er's indictment on the charge of ex-
tortion and bribery instead. basing his
allegations on information that as
head of the strong arm" squad Becker
mulcted gambling houses. Mr.. Whit
man tonight, however denied he had
such a move in mind.
Interest Centered tonight on what hope
the district attorney might have of find
ing witnesses to corroborate the testimony
of Vallon, Rose and Webbcr, who at the
time of the prosecution of Becker ana
the gunmen received immunity on their
promise to tell the truth Schepps' test-
mony In effect was held by the higher
court to be that of an aCcomplice.
NALLON BREAKS SILENCE.
Nallon late to-day broke the long si-
lence he has maintained since Becker $
conviction and denied it was he who fired
the shot that killed Rosenthal. Vallon $
statement was made after Becker in Sing
Sing to-day had declared he thought Val
Ion was the slayer.
Becker is pretty smooth" said Vallon,
land his object in accusing me is plain.
He hopes that the accusation and his ex-
pressions of sympathy will influence the
four men in the death house to think he
is going to do something to aid them.
HIS idea Is that as long as he can make
them think he is their friend they will
not confess and give information i'm
plicating him to the district attorney"
Mr.. Whitman tonight said regarding
Nallon that no evidence was ever pre-
sented at his office that Nallon fired the
fatal shot THE reports were invcstigat-
ed and no corroboration was found" he
said. The highest court in the State
has decided that the conviction of the
gunner stands and that they committed
the murder.
Becker will be brought here from the
Sing Sing death house late tomorrow
or early Friday, and placed in tn,
Tombs pending a new trial or the
quashng of the murder indictment
His counsel said tonight that the de
cision of the court of appeals auto.
matically restored Becker as a mem
Der of the police department under
suspension. 1t was reported also thai
if the murder Indictment should he dis
missed Beckers counsel would contend
that his suspension would be thereby
lifted automatically.

FRENCH PARLIAMENTARY
ELECTIONS TOMORROW

Paris, April 2S.-General elections
to the Chamber of Deputies aretaking
place today, with second ballots
two weeks hence in constituencies
where candidates fail to obtain the
regulation majorities. The campaign
which closed today with the last ap-
peals, to the candidates has attracted
far more than ordinary attention. OF
late years the French people have
shown an increasing tendency to as
sign smaller place in their lives to
politics. But the home events of the
past few months, particularly the
Caillaux-Calmette tragedy and the in
vestigation of the Rochelle affair, have
served to rouse the people from their
apathy and in consequence a very
heavy poll is expected tomorrow.
