Perkins Statement

New York, February 13.-Distlict At torney Charles A. Perkins declared in d statement tonight that the testimony given by James Marshall at the trial of Polce Lieutenant Charles Becker was se- cured from Marshall, substantially as he afterwards gave it on the witness stand, in the form of an affidavit within 10 min utes after he was brought into the dis trict attorneys office upon his arrival in this city, before the trial.
 Mir. Perkins went into various points iii the affidavit alleged to have been made by Marshall in Philadelphia.
 ''The statement made by. Marshall is absolutely false" declared MT. Perkins, insofar as it says that he was requested to give his testimony. He was never requested by an assistant district attor- ney to do so. When he reached here he was taken to the district attorneys of- flee and question about what he knew had made a statement which was re- duccd to the form of an affidavit, suo- stantially identical with the testimony he gave at the trial.
 Ever since last August we have known directly from him that he was being of- fered money to make and sign a state- ment to the effect that the testimony given by him at the trial was untrue. We also know from him that he was being threatened and was in constant fear of bodily harm, unless he would make a retraction. He was told that such retracton wound not hurt him; that there was money in it, and that he would get hurt if he didn't make it'
 MT. Rerlins said that on Monday the papers in tine Becker appeal probably will be filed in the district attorneys s office for the argument which will take place next month. before the court of appeals in Albany. He did not deny that the affidavit said to have been made by Marshall in Philadelphia might be brought forward as ground for motion for a new trial, but he thought it probable in such an event the court of appeals hear ing the motion would demand the presence of Marshall himself to corroborate the affidavit

 Against Negro

Philadelphia. February 13.-Johns B. Johnston. a New York lawyer, said here tonight that James Marshall the negro who was a witness in the case of Charles Becker. under sentence of death for the murder of Herman Rosenthal in New York, had signed a statement in the form of an affidavit to the effect that he swore falsely at Seekers second trial
 Marshall was arrested here last night on minor charge and was released to- day. His wife is alleged to have re- marked in the presence of a newspaper man that Marshall had been an fmpor- tant witness in the Becker case.
 When seen later in the day, according to MT. Johnston, Marshall said he had sworn falsely in the Becker case. Mar shall is said to have testified in the case that he saw Becker talking to Bald Jack Rose, "Bridgie'' Webber, and Sam Schepps. In the affidavit signed by Marshall tonight, MT. Johnston said, Marshall declares he did not know Rose, Webber or Schepps.
 When asked whether he attached any significance to Marshalrs alleged state ments, MT. Johnston said he regarded them as important
 Marshall is not under arrest.
