DECLINES TO COMMUTE
SENTENCE OF BECKER
Governor Whitman. However, Grants
Reprievc to Week Begin
ming July 90.
MANToN RETIREs FROM CASE
Other Counsel for Condemned Man
May Take Appeal to Federal Court.
New York Executive Issues Brief
Statement.

ALBANY. n. Y. July 1.-Governor
Whitman to-day declined to commute
The death sentence Of Charles Becker.
convicted of tho murder of Herman
Rosenthal. simultaneously. Martin T.
SIanton, Becker's counsel. announced
he would take no further legal step in
behalf of his client.
That other counsel for Becker may
have an opportunity to appeal to the
Federal courts. however. if desired the
Governor granted tho convicted man n
reprievc from the week beginning July
IL to the week beginning July %.
When Manton left here after his con-
ference with the Governor. he did not
know If the case would be taken to a
higher court, or what attorney, If any,
would appeal for the convicted man.
Only writ issued by Il Federal court
now will act as stay.
y mere appeal will not have that eff
feet. Manton. who retires from the
case, never has been of the opinion
that there was much hope Of Federal
court intervention. There are a few
points on which. it is expected. an an
peal on constitutional grounds might
be taken, but they are considered of n
minor character.
A statement late to-day from the
executive chamber said:
II deem II my duty to decline to an
point commission TO further examine
INTO the Becker case. and feel that l
must deny the application for commu-
,ation of the sentence to Imprisonment
for life.
Mr. Manton is of the opinion that
he has done all in his power for his
client, and has asked for n reprieve
that other counsel may have ample
time for preparation In the effort to
take the case into the Federal court.
owing to my absence during the
last week from the capital and the
incident delay, ] think II is fair that
the extra time should be given, and 7
nave granted reprieve. postponinE
