NEW YORK, July 27-Supreme
Court Justice Ford. after hearing ar
gumentS for and against the applica-
lion for former Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker, under sentence to
die Wednesday for instigattng the
murder Of Herman RosenthaI gam
bier, for new trial. yesterday reserV-
ed decision and gave counsel until
noon today 10 file briefs.
Justice Ford announced that he
would decide the case as quickly as
possible. Regarding the adidavits
submitted by Becker's attorneys and
containing the alleged new evidence
Justice Ford said:
In view OF the fact that the State
has contended these affidavits are not
new evidence, propose to accept
them at their face value, and am not
certain it will be necessary TO call
further witnesses"
The last fight TO save Beckers lie
was begun by bis counsel before Jus
tce Ford yesterday. The wife OF the
police lieutenant entered the court
room as W. Bourke Cochran. chlel
counsel. opened the proceedings.
He began by reviewing the ground
upon which a new trial is desired and
calling the attention of the court TO
evidence already in the records, which
he said he would attack. Then he re-
called events Immediately preceding
/ the killing OF Rosenthal, laying par
/ tIcular emphasis upon the affidavit
Rosenthal caused to be published. In
this the gambler charged that Becker
was his partner in a gambling house.
! When Rosenthal was killed and
Rose, Webber, Vallon and Schepps
we're arrested, Mr.. Cochran declared, !,
suspicion naturally pointed toward
Becker and the District Attorney de
mapded Of the four men under arrest
that they disclose Becker's guilt.
! MIR, Cochran read statement IN
which the District Attorney was quot
ed as saying he had held the four IN
iail and has pounded them day after
day, as he had considered 1t his duty
before God to do"
This explains the whole character
Of the trial" said Mr.. Cochran. Here
were four men avowedly guilty and
the District Attorney pounded at them
TO compel them to disclose somebody
elses guilt"
