Force-Recently Applied for
Vacation"

NEW YORK, May 5.-LIeut. john
Becker brother OF Charles Becker
convicted police lieutenant, whose
second trial for the Staying OF Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal will begin to-
morrow, came TO the front in the po-
lice graft and homicide scandal today
when he was charged by Karl Ores
ner, a witness, with having engineered
the plot" to save Becker and the
four gunner from the electric chair
Dresner asserts that John Becker
planned the story which witnesses
told In an effort TO free his brother
and save the four gunner few days
before the gunner were executed
Dresner made his charges in the form
OF an affidayit which was locked In
District Attorney Whitman's safe. In
this AFFIDAVIT he names go-between
who threatened him, he alleges, un'
less he helped In the manufacture OF
perjured testimony
John Becker, Dresner said, told him
that this testimony would get the
four gunner a new trial and would
mean that Charles Becker would
never again be tried for the Staying
of Rosenthal.
Lieut.. John Becker, who applied for
two weeks vacation, ostensibly so
that he might attend the trial, has
feft town, according to a member OF
the household I'm which he lives. Mrs.
Charles BecksN declared that she saw
her brother-in-law yesterday, and that
