Becker Pays Penalty for Murder of Rosenthal

Rosenberg ''Dago Frank" Cirofci and ''Whitey" Lews-were rounded up one by one.
 To give standing to the testimony of Becker's three accomplices who had turned mormers-Rose, Webber and Vallon-a corroborating witness who was not implicated was needed. Sam Schepps, a dapper little gambler who had fled the city, the man who could do this. He was found at Hot Springs, Ark, brought back to New York and the peoples case against Charles Becker complete. 1t went to trial on October 7, 1912.
 verdict of guilty of first degree murder was returned at midnight October 24 1912, after the jury had deIberated seven hours and 57 minutes Within less than a month the four gunmen placed on trial the actual slayers, found guilty and sent to the death house.
 The Court of Appeals decided that Becker should have a new trial. The g0nmen-s conviction was upheld and they paid the penalty with theil lives on April IA, 1914.
 Becker brought back to the Tombs. lii second trial ended with a verdict of guilty. Al appeal was filed, but the conviction upheld by the higher court.
 Throughout Becker's troubles his wife remained loyal to him and his constant adviser. Sh labored apparently without tring in his behalf assisting his counsel in every way possible. Sh appeared to be crushed when the Court of Appeal upheld his second conviction, but soon turned he energies toward eeventh-hour work to him It was largely at her urging that he joined in tn l plan to ask Governor Whitman, his prosecutor, fo cemency

 District Attorney Whitman, notified by tele- phone of the murder spread dragnet over the city for the murder car. It was found before night Its driver, Louis Shapiro, and Louis Lbbey part owner were arrested and Mir. Whitman asserted openly in an emphatic statement that the police had abetted the murder.
 Jack Rose, his graft collector, walked into the Criminal Courts building the day after the murder and surrendered to the District Attorney, declaring he had nothing to fear. Harry Vallon and Brdgie Webber, gamblers and friends of Rose and Becker, were arrested as witnesses. The grand jury began it's investigation.
 Rose lay in prison 12 days without word from Becker, and, believing his chief had deserted him, confessed Vallon and Webber corroborated his story.
 Four East Side gangsters indicted the actual murderers Rose had testified that these men were assigned by "Big Jack Zeig, a gang leader who had been arrested by Beckers men | trumped up charge, to do the murder They were to receive $l 000 and Zcg to be released Zelig men.

Three distinct shocks given before the physi- clans declared life extinct. Becker refused to attempt to sleep last night, and remained up in his cell talking to the death watch.

Two priests were with him to the last, and comfOrted him during his last hours on earth During the night, he requested the deputy warden on duty to furnish him piece of paper and pencil On receiving the same he penciled declaration of his innocence, and a statement of his devotion to his wife, who had stuck by him through thick and thin, As he sat il the death chair waiting for the current to be turned on, he held a cruciix in his hand and was mumblne prayer to the last
