OUTLOOK FOR
BECKER SEEMS
DEVOID OF HOPE
tContinaed from Page ODe)


Becker will be the first witness in his
own behalf These reports could not
be verified from counsel for the pris-
oner and their accuracy is doubted.
There Is no love lost between Becker
and District Attorney Whitman. IL
Whitman gets Becker on the stand
the battle will be- bitter in the ex-
IRENE. That Becker viii stake his
all on ability to Withstand Whitman's
fierce attack as a witness is believed
unlikely. II is more probable that
Becker will first make every effort
with other witnesses 10 discredit the
informers. II this fails, Mrs Becker
is scheduled TO testify. Then, II all
hope seems gone, Becker as last
resort. probably will brave Whitman's
tearing assaults. and by his own
words try to save himself from the
electric chair.
Because Lefty Louie" before ne
went TO the death chair made his
young wife promise to tell the truth
about the murder of Herman Rosen.

In her Widows black. in the trial
Charles Becker, and told the Jury that
the gunner knew they were working
for Becker when they shot down
Rosenthal and that she saw them
divide the pay for the murder
Mr. Manton did all that lawyer
could do TO blunt the effect OF that
story, when he asked her II she
hadn't testified in the trial OF the
gunner that she had not heard a
word of the talk between her usband
and Jack Rose the time Rose went
TO hire the gunner, but she turned
her blue eyes on the foreman of the
jury and spoke 10 words:
