PAGE EIGHT,
Has the State of New York
Killed an Innocent Man?

1t has to be that way, you know, unless
you resort to lynching
Nobody can be legally put to death, unless
the jury, and the courts are against him.
1t seems that rich Jews who lust after
Gentle girls, and who take life in the pur-
suit, are to be exempt from Gentle punish
ment
During the Big Money campaign, when so
many Underwriters were following the lead
of the noble William j. Burns, there APP
peared big headline
"HAS GEORGIA CONDEMNED AN
INNOCENT MAN TO DEP"
Beneath the headline came column after
column of stuff which pretended to be official
evidence.
Instead of its being evidence, it was made
up falsehood that had no foundation save in
jew money and Gentle mendacity.
But what about Becker?
Read the following clip from a New York
paper:
Becker died an innocent man. in the opinion of
his spiritual advisers, Fathers Curry and
Cashin.
From your experience with condemned men,
Father Cashin asked, isn't it your belief
that guilty man always cOnfesses in the last
few hours?"
''Invariaby" the priest responded Usually
been given. Becker maintained his innocence to
the end.
Father Curry said to him, after we had adj
mnistered the Holy Sacrament: Are you guilty,
by word, deed, or in any manner whatsoever,
of this crme?'
Becker answered: Father, as I stand on the
brink Of the grave, l am not.
Now, let me tell you two things about
Becker:
a. A man who, in his farewell interview
with his wife, told her to place on his
coffin plate, accusing Governor Whitman of
n1u1de1ing him, had not forgiven his "ene-
miles," as he professed to have done, and had
not really became a Christian as he pre-
tended to have done; and he went to his
death with such malignant hatred of Whit
man that he would have caused him to be
assassinated had he, Becker, ever got the
chance.
a. Becker meditated and planned crime
against the jew gambler, Rosenthal; and
while that crime may not have contemplated
murder, Becker was guilty of murder, if in
the carrying out of his felOnious plan, Ro-
senthal got killed.
You will notice that the priest confined
himself to stills crime"-that is, the crime of
nUrder.
The priest has not said that Becker de-
MED being guilty of any crime against
Rosenthal.
The priest may not know that the Law
holds man guilty of the crime of murder,
if in the course of felonious design against
another's life or property, the intended vic
tim of the felony loses his life.
If Becker was not guilty of murder, why
did the priests refuse the high mass to
Becker's remains?
If he was innocent of any crime, why was
his body denied the fullest honors of the
Roman Catholic Church?
After Curry had confessed the condemned
