BECKER'S FINAL PLEA
FOR LIFE NOW BEFORE
GOVERNOR WHITMAN
Ex-Police Lieutenant, Con-
demned to Die Next
Week, Makes Appeal to
Man w h O Convicted
Him.
NEW YORK. July 21.


Charles Becker sent his final appeal TO
Governor whitman last night. In 1t he
related in detail his work as a gambling
crusader and described his relations with
big Tim" Sullivan, Larry Mulligan, Her
man Rosenthal, former Police Com
missioner Rhinelander Waldo and others
whose names have been brought into his
case.
Becker's account of his activities as
head of the strong arm squad" when
Herman Rosenthal was murdered covers
more than 60 typewriter pages and IS
divided into two parts. The first part he
wrote in the death house after the Court
of Appeals refused to grant him third
trial. The second he told last week to
his chief counsel, w. Bourke Cochran.
Attached to Beckers own story OF tho
events that led to the killing of Rosen-
thai is copy of the appeal which Nj.
Cochran submitted to United States Su-
preme Court Justice Hughes The former
police lieutenant believes that by throw
ing himself on the mercy of the Governor
he may yet be saved from the electric
chair.
Becker is ready to die. He does not
ask favors of any one, but he wants 20
prove his innocence" Mr.. Cochran said.
HE did not expect to make public mis-
story at this time. In fact, he wanted
It to be left until after his death, but we
resolved that he should not go to the cleo
trio chair while such statement lay in
our office.
The stories Of Charles Becker and of
Jack Rose OF the events-and BecRer's !
participation in them-which led to the
murder of Herman Rosenthal are as un-
like as white and black Becker does not
deny Roses essential statements one Dy
one, although he denies them as a whole.
Some of them he does not deny.
He does not deny having met Herman
Rosenthal at the Elks Club the New
Years eve before the murder. although
he says he did so unwillingly, and left
as soon as he could. He does not deny
having had close relations with Rose, al
though he says he used Rose as a STOOL
pigeon and as a procurer of stoolpigeons.
He admits that he and Mrs. Becker called
at Roses home, but says this was 10
talk over with Rose a contemplated raid
Becker denies that he himself lent
Rosenthal $500 on a chattel mortgage.
Rose has said that was Becker's reason
for not raiding Rosenthals gambling
house. Becker says that Rose lent Rosen-
thai the money
Rose never mentioned Big Tim Sulli-
vans name in the case. Becker said that
Big Tim had Sl2,5OO invested in Rosen-
thals place, and that he failed to raid
Rosenthal because Of Big TINS state
ment that Waldo had been fixed. -

Police Court Chronicles

Honesty has always been advocated by
Edward Jones. although he is a hobo. The
only thing he ever tried to take was a
bath, and for that he was arrested.
Jones believes in good sanitary condi-
tions among homeless wanderers, and to
carry out his policy practically he strolled
into the dispensary OF the Women's
Homeopathic Hospital and picked his
way through long corridors TO one of the
bathrooms. The glistening white tile and
the rigid cleanliness all about strength
ened his ambition to be clean and he
started TO shed his clothes. But he had
not proceeded very far when an employe
discovered him and told him to cut It,

But the quick arrival OF Policeman

Grelis.
